FRYING GUIDELINES (ALL MODELS)
• Heat shortening to set temperature.
• High Limit Device (All Models) - If the shortening becomes overheated, a high-temperature
device will close the gas valve and extinguish the pilot. Should this occur, the pilot will be unable
to relight until the shortening temperature is below 300°F (149°C). If the temperature is below
300°F (149°C) and the pilot will not relight, contact your local Hobart Service office. (See alarms
and error messages for pilot out and ignition lock (C and D models).
• Fry pieces of product that are about the same size together.
• Drain or wipe dry raw or wet foods to minimize splatter when lowering into the hot shortening.
• Keep shortening between the MIN and MAX lines. Shortening will expand when heated; do not
fill the fry tank past the MAX line.
• Add fresh shortening as needed.
Fry Basket Guidelines
• Shake the basket gently to avoid splattering the shortening.
• Do not overfill baskets. See Recommended Basket Capacities section in this manual.
• Hang baskets on rear basket hangers when frying is complete.
• To help reduce batter buildup, dip the basket into shortening before loading.
