EXTENDING SHORTENING LIFE
Shortening life can be extended by the following guidelines:
o Do not salt foods over the fryer
o Use good-quality shortening
o Filter shortening daily (at a minimum)
o Replace shortening if it becomes poorly flavored
o Keep equipment and surrounding clean
o Set thermostat correctly, lower the temperature to 210°F (99°C) during idle periods
o Remove excess moisture and particles from food products before they're fried.
o Maintain the proper oil level at all times
o Keep the vat covered minimizing oxidation during idle times and lower the thermostat
o Ensure crumbs and food particles are skimmed away and discarded at least twice daily
(preferably at least once an hour and whenever the facility enters an idle period)

Load the baskets with dry ice crystal free product (moisture breaks down the oil)

Use a skimmer to remove any floating fried food that is not in a fry basket

Remove loose food particles or items immediately before they start to burn. Carbonized food will reduce oil life.

DRAINING THE TANK

1. Turn the thermostat to OFF.
2. Wearing safety apparel (at least face shield and gloves) screw the extended drain pipe into position so
the tank can drain into a safe proper size secondary container
3. To keep the pilot lit, turn the gas valve to PILOT.
4. Direct the drain spout into the container that you want to drain the shortening into.
5. 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 vat is empty.
6. If desired, perform the weekly clean-out as described under CLEANING.
7. Once tank is completely empty, add new oil and set thermostat to desired temperature.
Note: It is recommended to conduct a fryer boil out with cleaning compound at least monthly.
Do not leave the fryer unattended during a tank boil out, this boil out solution may foam and over-flow the
vat. If this happens turn the thermostat and gas valve off. Turn the gas valve back on and re-light the fryer,
then resume the boil out after the foam has dissipated.

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 won't drain properly. Always filter shortening between 250°F and 325°F. The shortening in
the cold zone area may 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 can melt. Use the
tank brush to help clear sides and tubes of debris. Carefully applying some filtered hot oil with the
brush can aid in better cleaning the vat side walls. Use the crumb scoop to help clean the cold zone
removing any food particles that may accumulate in this area.
 This fryer is designed for efficient filtering of the shortening if a paper cone filter set up, plastic mesh
filter net with handle or a portable power filter system is used as the oil filtering method.
