FRY BASKET GUIDELINES
• DO NOT overfill fry baskets. (See table below for capacity)
• Carefully lower baskets into oil.
• Only turn items frying once while cooking.
• When cooking french fries or onion rings, etc., shake the basket (carefully, to avoid splattering oil) to keep
items in basket separated while cooking.
• Battered foods should be dropped carefully, one at a time, into fry basket or oil.
• If using basket, dip it first into the hot oil to prevent batter from building up on the baskets surfaces.
• When cooking is complete, remove basket or food items from oil. Hang basket on rear hanger.

DRAINING THE TANK

1. Turn the thermostat to the OFF position.
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 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 oil and set thermostat to desired temperature.
DAILY FILTERING
WARNING: Hot oil and parts can cause burns. Use care when operating, cleaning and servicing the fryer.
• Filter oil at least once a day. Refer to the instructions provided with your filtering equipment.
• A cold fryer will not drain properly; ALWAYS filter oil between 250° F and 350° F (121° C and 177° C).
• The shortening in the cold zone area will remain hard if the heat is only on for a few minutes. If necessary,
use a 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.
