DRAINING THE TANK
1. Turn the thermostat to OFF.
2. To keep the pilot lit, turn the gas valve to PILOT.
3. Direct the drain spout into the container that you want to drain the shortening into.
4. Open the drain valve. The oil will drain into the container. When the container is full
or the fryer tank is empty, close the drain valve. Repeat this step until the fryer is
empty.
5. If desired, perform the weekly clean-out as described under CLEANING.
6. Once tank is completely empty, add new shortening and set thermostat to desired
temperature.
DAILY FILTERING
Hot oil and hot parts can cause burns. Use care when operating,
cleaning, and servicing the fryer.
Filter shortening at least once a day. Refer to the instructions provided
with your filtering equipment.
A cold fryer will not drain properly. Always filter shortening between 250°F
and 350°F. The shortening in the cold zone area will remain hard if the heat is only
on for a few minutes. If necessary, use the clean-out rod to carefully stir the hard
shortening to an area above the cold zone where it will melt. Use the tank brush to
help clear sides and tubes of debris.
