FILLING THE FRYPOT 

1.  Close drain valve completely before filling the frypot. 

2. 

When the fryer is new, fill the frypot with water and clean thoroughly (see “Weekly Cleaning” on page 15) 
in order to remove protective coatings and any foreign matter. 

3.  The  recommended  solid  shortening  capacity  for  the  frypot  (35,  55  or  75lbs)  is  described  on  the  serial 

plate (which is located inside the front door). 

4.  Remove the basket support frame when filling the frypot with solid shortening. 

5.  When  solid  shortening  is  used,  be  careful  not  to  bend,  break,  or  twist  the  thin  capillary  wires  of  the 

sensing elements located in the frypot. 

6.  Pack solid shortening into the zone below the tubes, all spaces between the tubes, and at least an inch 

above  the  top  of  the  tubes  before  lighting  the  fryer.  If  any  air  spaces  are  left  around  the  heat  tube 
surfaces  when  the  heat  is  turned  on,  the  tube  surfaces  will  become  red  hot,  burn  the  solid  shortening, 
weaken the frypot, and could result in a fire. 

!

    CAUTION 

NEVER ATTEMPT TO MELT A SOLID BLOCK OF SHORTENING ON TOP OF THE HEAT TUBES. 

NEVER START THE BURNERS WHEN THE FRYPOT IS EMPTY.

 

7.  To prevent burning or scorching the solid shortening, keep the thermostat set at the lowest temperature 

until all the solid shortening between and above the tubes has been melted. Additional solid shortening 
can then be added until the desired frying depth has been reached. 

8.  Replace the basket support frame over the frypot heat tubes. 

SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE 

Standby: Turn knob on the combination gas valve to the “PILOT” position. At this setting, only the pilot burner 
will remain ignited. 

Complete  Shutdown:  Turn  knob  on  the  combination  gas  valve  clockwise,  press  down  on  the  knob  and 
continue to turn to the “OFF” position. 

RELIGHTING 

!

    WARNING 

In the event of a main burner ignition failure, a five minute purge period must be observed prior to re-
establishing the ignition source. 

1.  Shut off all gas. 

2.  Wait five minutes. 

3. 

Follow the “Lighting” procedure described on page 12. 

AUTOMATIC PILOT VALVE 

The  Automatic  Pilot  Valve  provides  an  automatic  safety  shutoff  for  the  fryer  when  the  pilot  flame  is 
extinguished.  When  the  pilot  flame  is  burning,  the  valve  is  held  open  electromagnetically  by  the  electrical 
current from a thermopile in the pilot flame. When the pilot flame goes out, generation of current ceases and 
the valve closes automatically.
