Using the Fryer for the First Time
Before lighting the pilot, fill the frypot with frying compound.
Then light the pilot according to the instructions inside
the fryer compartment on the inner panel. If you are using
a cooking oil, you may now turn the main burner on by
turning the knob on the automatic gas valve. If you use a
hydrogenated (solid) frying compound, it is wise to melt it in
a stock pot on the range before putting it in the fryer. If this
is not done, pack the frypot with the compound and turn the
main burner on for a few seconds and turn it off for a few. See
the lighting and shut-down instructions for “How to turn on
the main burner once the pilot is lighted.”
Intervals of about three seconds on and ten seconds off are
about right. Keep doing this until the shortening is melted.
If any smoke is seen during this process, you are heating
too fast and scorching the shortening, thus cutting down
its useful life and possible damaging the frypot. Shortening
level must cover the thermostat bulbs when fryer is in
operation.
After turning the main burner on, set the thermostat at 325°
to check calibration of the thermostat. Let the burner cycle
at least four times and suspend a deep fat fryer thermometer
in the middle of the frypot about 3” (76mm) deep. When the
burner just comes on after the fourth cycle, the reading on
the thermostat should agree with the thermostat setting. If
not, calibrate the thermostat according to the instructions in
the Cleaning and Maintenance Section of this manual.

Radiation Shield
This radiation shield must be in place when fryer is installed
in other than fire resistive locations.
IMPORTANT: The flue riser must be installed within the back
guard. This rectangular riser fits over the collar of the flue
collector box inside the fryer. Place the flue riser upright
through opening in the back top and slide over collar. (See
Figure 2.).
