WARNING
NEVER set a complete block of solid shortening on top of heating tubes. To do so
will damage the heating tubes and frypot, and void the warranty.
4.3.1 Filling Fryer with Cooking Oil/Shortening
A. When using a liquid shortening (cooking oil), fill the fryer to the bottom OIL LEVEL line
scribed into the back of the frypot.
B. When using a solid shortening, 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 probe sensing bulbs.
C. Press the computer on/off switch to "ON". The burners will initially operate in the MELT
CYCLE mode until the shortening reaches 180°F. It will then automatically switch to
normal operation.
D. When the frypot is filled and the shortening is melted, carefully replace the crumb screen
over the heat tubes. Wear oil-proof insulated gloves to avoid the potential for burn injury
when placing crumb screen in frypot.
