4.3.1 Filling Fryer with Cooking Oil/Shortening—Operating Thermostat (cont.)
B. When using a solid shortening, first melt it in a suitable container, or cut it into small pieces
and pack it below the heat tubes, between the tubes and on top of the tubes, leaving no air
spaces around the tubes. Do not disturb or bend the sensing bulbs.
C. If the shortening is not pre-melted and is packed around the tubes, turn the burners "ON" for
about 10 seconds, "OFF" for a minute, etc., until the shortening is melted. If you see smoke
coming from the shortening while melting this way, shorten the "ON" cycle and lengthen
the "OFF" cycle. Smoke indicates potential scorching of the shortening, which will shorten
its useful life.
D. Before starting operation, turn the operating thermostat to the probable working
temperature; wait for the temperature to stabilize then check with a high-quality immersion
thermometer.
For filtration instructions and troubleshooting, consult the operating manual or
instructions provided with the filtration equipment.
