3. Once the appliance tank is firmly packed with shortening, the shortening must be
melted. If your appliance has a Melt Cycle option, use this to melt the shortening
automatically.
1.12. APPLIANCE START UP
Refer to the following procedure to start the appliance prior to operation.
1. Ensure that the drain valve is closed.
2. Fill the cook tank with oil/shortening. (See section 2.2 “Filling the Cook Tank”)
3. Light the appliance. (See “Lighting Instructions” section)
4. If the appliance is equipped with a controller, turn the controller on.
Solid State Thermostat:
Turn the I/0 (ON/OFF) switch to the I (ON) position
Computer and Digital Control:
Press the
* button to turn the controller on.
*The specified button may appear slightly different then shown.
Refer to the operator’s manual for your appliance’s specific control
type to determine the exact appearance of each button and display.
Note: If your appliance has a self cleaning burner system, the burners may make a
popping sound immediately after the main burners light during startup. This noise
during startup is part of the normal operation of the self cleaning burner system and
should NOT continue during normal cooking & idle periods. (SCB Only)
5. The appliance is now on and heating the oil/shortening in the cook tank.
OIL TEMPERATURE
Keep the oil temperature in the fryer to a maximum of 190°C (374°F). Higher temperatures will cause
rapid breakdown of the oil and give you no faster cooking. At 205°C (401°F) to 210°C (410°F) the life of
the oil is only one third of its life at 190°C (374°F). In addition, increased decomposition causes the oil
to smoke badly even if the temperature is lowered to 190°C (374°F) again. High temperatures give you
no advantage, cost you money and increase the fire danger.
TEMPERATURA DELL’OLIO
Mantenere la temperatura dell’olio nella friggitrice fino a un massimo di 190°C. Temperature maggiori
causano un rapido degrado dell’olio, senza tuttavia eseguire una cottura più rapida. Da 205°C a 210°C
la durata dell’olio è inferiore di un terzo rispetto a quella a 190°C. Inoltre, l’accresciuta decomposizione
comporta una forte emissione di fumo, anche se la temperatura viene riportata di nuovo a 190°C. Le
alte temperature non prevedono vantaggi, sono antieconomiche e aumentano il rischio d’incendio.
WARNING
Oil/shortening must completely cover the heat tubes at all times while appliance is on.
WARNING
Oil/shortening level should NOT be allowed to fall below the minimum indicated level line at
any time. Dry firing of the fry tank will shorten tank service life and will void your warranty.
WARNING
NEVER operate the appliance with an empty fry tank. It will void the warranty.
