3.1 Equipment Setup and Shutdown Procedures
Setup
DANGER
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled to the fill line
with water or oil before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will result in irreparable
damage to the elements and may cause a fire.
DANGER
Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with oil. Failure to do so will cause
spattering of hot liquid when the oil is heated to cooking temperature.
WARNING
The BIELA14 is not intended to use solid shortening. Use only liquid shortening with this
fryer. The use of solid shortening will clog the oil lines. The oil capacity of the BIELA14
fryer is 31 lbs. (3.7 gallons/14 liters) for a full-vat and 15.5 lbs. (2.5 gallons/7 liters) for a dual-
vat at 70°F (21°C).
Prior to filling frypots with oil, press the reset button to ensure all drains are closed.
1.
Fill the frypot with cooking oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot. This will
allow for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill cold oil any higher than the bottom line; overflow
may occur as heat expands the oil.
2.
Ensure that the power cord(s) is/are plugged into the appropriate receptacle(s). Verify that the face of the
plug is flush with the outlet plate, with no portion of the prongs visible.
3.
Ensure that the power is switched on. Some models are equipped with a master switch located behind the
fryer door cabinet on the front panel of the component box, next to the fuse. This switch MUST be
switched on prior to switching on the computers.
4.
Ensure that the computer is switched ON.
5.
Ensure that the oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the oil is at its cooking temperature.
Shutdown
1.
Turn the fryer off.
2. Filter the oil and clean the fryers (See Chapters 5 and 6).
