Fry Basket Guidelines

• Do not overfill baskets. (See table for recommended basket capacities below) Carefully lower basket

into oil.

•

When frying doughnuts and fritters, turn product only once during frying.

• When cooking French fries or onion rings, shake the basket several times.

• Batter-covered foods should be dropped carefully, one by one, into shortening or basket. If you use

the basket, first dip the basket into the shortening to reduce batter-build up on basket surfaces.

• When frying is completed, remove basket or product. Hang basket on rear hanger.

Fry Basket Capacity:

Recommended pounds per basket are 1.5 lbs. (0.7 kg).

EXTENDING SHORTENING LIFE

Shortening life can be extended by the following guidelines:

• Do not salt foods over the fryer.

• Use good-quality shortening.

• Filter shortening daily (at a minimum).

• Replace shortening if it becomes poorly flavored.

• Keep equipment and surrounding clean.

• Set thermostat correctly.

• Remove excess moisture and particles from food products before placing in fryer.

DRAINING THE TANK

ARNING Hot oil and parts can cause burns. Use care when operating, cleaning and servicing

the fryer.

WARNING Spilling hot frying compound can cause severe burns. Do not move the fryer without

draining all frying compound from the tank.

1. Turn the thermostat to OFF.

2. Turn the gas valve to OFF.

3. Let the shortening cool completely before draining.

4. Direct the drain spout into the container that you want to drain the shortening into.

5. Open the drain valve. The oil will drain into the container. When the container is full or the fryer

tank is empty, close the drain valve. Repeat this step until the fryer is empty.

6. If desired, perform routine clean-out as described under CLEANING.

7. Once tank is completely clean and empty, add new shortening and set thermostat to desired

temperature.
