3-10. CARE OF SHORTENING
2. To protect and get the maximum life out of the
(Continued) shortening, lower the temperature to 275° F (135° C) or
lower when the fryer is not in immediate use.
Deteriorated shortening smokes badly, even at lower
temperatures.
3. Taste the cold shortening daily for signs of bad flavor.
Discard any shortening which has a bad flavor or shows
signs of excessive foaming or boiling. Keep the frypot
clean.
WITH PROLONGED USE, THE FLASHPOINT OF
SHORTENING IS REDUCED. DISCARD SHORTEN-
ING IF IT SHOWS SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE
SMOKING OR FOAMING. SERIOUS BURNS,
PERSONAL INJURY, FIRE, AND/OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE COULD RESULT.
1. Turn the main switch to the OFF position. Remove and
clean the fry basket in soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.
Best results are obtained when shortening is filtered at the
normal frying temperature.
2. Use a metal spatula to remove any build up from the sides
of the frypot. Do not scrape burner tubes on the gas
models, or heating elements on electric models.
Scraping the electric fryer elements, or burner tubes
of the gas frypot, produces scratches in these surfaces
causing breading to stick and burn.
The filter drain pan must be as far back under fryer as
it will go and the cover in place. Be sure the hole in the
cover lines up with the drain before opening the drain.
Failure to follow these instructions causes splashing of
shortening and could result in personal injury.
Surfaces of fryer and baskets will be hot. Use care
when filtering to avoid getting burned.
