3-3. FILLING OR
ADDING SHORTENING
The shortening level must always be above the heating
elements when the fryer is heating and at the frypot
level indicators on the rear of the frypot. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in a fire and/or
damage to the fryer.
When using solid shortening, it is recommended to melt
the shortening on an outside heating source before
placing it in the frypots. The heating elements or
burner tubes must be completely submerged in
shortening. Fire or damage to the frypot could
result.
1. It is recommended that a high quality frying shortening
be used in the open fryer. Some low grade shortenings
have a high moisture content and will cause foaming
and boiling over.
Wear gloves to avoid severe burns when pouring hot
shortening into frypot. Shortening and all metal
parts that are in contact with the shortening are
extremely hot, and take care to avoid splashing.
Figure 3-3
2. The gas open fryers require 90 lbs. (41 kg) of
shortening per frypot, and the electric 80 lbs. (36 kg)
per frypot. All frypots have 2 level indicator lines
inscribed on the rear wall of the frypot. The top
indicator shows the proper level of heated shortening;
the bottom indicator shows the proper level of cold
shortening. (See Figure 3-3)
So the faucet doesn’t interfere with operating, filtering
and cleaning procedures, swivel the faucet to either
frypot and push it into the area above the elements, as
shown in Figure 3-4 at left.
