FOR FRYERS WITH VENT HOOD (WVAE-55…..)
For Ventilator Hood models (i.e. WVAE-55 FS), install DRIP PAN
(item 18) into mounting bracket behind fryer door at lower right front
of fryer.
Close DRAIN VALVE LEVER (item 11) by turning the lever up to the
horizontal (CLOSED) position.
IMPORTANT: Remember to fill the fryer to the COLD OIL LINE with
fresh shortening prior to turning the POWER SWITCH to the FRYER
position. Energizing the fryer without oil covering the elements will
cause serious damage. Damage caused by operating the fryer
without oil covering the elements is not covered by warranty.
Fill FRYPOT to the COLD OIL LINE in the FRYPOT with room
temperature commercial-quality LIQUID SHORTENING. This
requires 55lbs. of liquid shortening for non-solid shortening melt
optioned fryers, and either 55 lb. of liquid or solid shortening for fryers
with SOLID SHORTENING MELT OPTION. Solid shortening should
be packed around elements.
IMPORTANT:
Unless equipped with the
factory-installed SOLID
SHORTENING MELT OPTION,
this fryer is designed for LIQUID
SHORTENING ONLY.
DO NOT USE SOLID
SHORTENING UNLESS THE
FRYER IS EQUIPPED WITH
THE SOLID SHORTENING
MELT OPTION. DO NOT USE
LARD.
Solid shortening will solidify in
the FILTER RESERVOIR and
FILTER PUMP. This condition
will render the filter system
inoperable. Do not attempt to
pump shortening unless it is
liquid shortening or shortening
melted to the liquid state.
Damage caused to attempts to
pump anything other than short-
ening in the liquid state is not
covered under warranty.
WARNING:
SLIP/FALL HAZARD
DO NOT OPERATE UNLESS DRIP PAN IS INSTALLED.
Oil will drip on the floor and slips/falls will result.
Death or serious injury may result from slipping and falling in spilled oil.
