General Operation
Fill the fryer with cooking oil. There are two fill marks on the sides of the kettle. The oil
level should be maintained between the upper and lower marks.
The power switch on the control box at the front of the fryer energizes the control
circuits. When this switch is on, the “power” pilot lamp will be illuminated.
Turn the temperature selector dial on the thermostat to the desired temperature setting.
This control is located above the elements at the rear of the kettle. The “heat” pilot lamp
will illuminate indicating power is applied to the heating elements.
The lamp marked “overtemp” will illuminate if the oil reaches an over temperature
condition. The over temperature thermostat shuts off the fryer before the oil reaches a
dangerously high temperature.
The elements may be raised and locked in the up position. The latch is located on the
rear top surface of the fryer and may be activated by lifting the handle at either side of
the fryer.
A drain valve is provided at the left front of the fryer. Always turn the fryer power off
before lifting the elements of draining the oil from the fryer.
On those models with automatic bracket lifts, the cooking times may be set from 1 to 16
minutes with the timer control dials.
Pressing down on the spring return elevator switches will lower the basket lifts. At the
end of the time set on the dial the lift will return to the up position. The time cycle may be
canceled at any time by pressing the elevator switch to the up position.
