Unpacking & Installation CLEARANCE AND VENTILATION Improper ventilation can result in personal injury or death. Ventilation that does not properly remove flue products can cause headaches, drowsiness, nausea, or could result in death. It is recommended that a canopy extend 6’’ past the appliance and the bottom edge be located 6’6’’ from the floor. Filters should be installed at an angel of 45º or more from the horizontal.

Operating Instructions FILLING FRY TANK (CAUTION: NEVER LIGHT PILOT OR TURN BURNERS ON WITH EMPTY TANK) First Use: Prepping the fryer for use Before the fryer can be put to use, the fry tank needs to be burned in. To “Burn in” the fry tank for use, refer to the cleaning section and follow the instructions for cleaning the Fry Tank. 1. Close the drain valve before filling the fry tank. 2. Fill the fry tank approximately 3/4’’ below the full line. The fry compound will expand as it is heated.
Operating Instructions Normal Use of the Fryer: For normal operation, once the fryer is turned on for the first time each day, allow 6-10 minutes for the frying compound/oil to come up to the desired temperature. Never cover or touch the flue when the fryer is on. The flue becomes very hot. Doing so can result in severe burns. 1. Place product in the basket for frying. No more than 1/2 full - Do NOT over fill the baskets. Fill baskets away from fryer or place on nesting hooks only.
Operating Instructions INSTRUCTION FOR DRAINING OIL Allow the fryer and fryer oil to cool completely before draining. Never drain oil while the fryer is on or the oil is hot, doing so can result in severe burns. NOTE: Attached to the inside of the main door, a drain extension pipe has been provided. See Figure 13-1 1. Screw the drain extension pipe into the main drain valve. 2. Once secured, use the red handle; slowly pull the red handle counterclockwise to release the oil.
Cleaning Instructions • DO NOT use any abrasive or flammable cleaning fluids. • DO NOT hose down, immerse or pressure wash any part of the fryer. • NEVER use a scrubber pad, steel wool or abrasive material, or cleaners containing chlorine, iodine and ammonia or bromine chemicals as these will deteriorate the stainless steel and shorten the life of the unit. IF CLEANING ALL THE FRYER’S SURFACES, THE MAIN GAS VALVE MUST BE SWITCHED TO THE CLOSED POSITION.
