Preparation Before Use
After the fryer has been properly installed and checked for
operation, it will be necessary to clean the protective coating
from the tank as follows:
1. Turn the power service disconnect switch off.
2. Remove baskets from the fry tank.
3. Lift the element handle until the heating elements are in
full raised position.
4. Lift the tank out of the fryer for cleaning. If a special fry
tank cleaner is used, carefully follow the manufacture’s
instructions for use. A soap, vinegar or baking soda
solution may be used for cleaning the tank. Rinse the tank
thoroughly with clean, hot water and dry completely.
5. Replace the tank in the fryer. If the tank has the optional
drain valve, make sure that this valve is tightly closed.
6. With the circuit breakers and toggle switch on the fryer
in the “OFF” position, turn on the power at the service
disconnect box.

OPERATION
Filling the Tank
Once the tank and elements have been cleaned the tank can
be filled with oil.
1. If Liquid frying compound is used, fill the tank to the ‘Full’
mark stamped on the inside of the tank. Do not over fill
the tank.
2. If hydrogenated or solid frying compound is used,
measure 30 lbs (13.6 kg). Pack the compound firmly
around the heating unit. The elements must be
completely covered with compound. Start the fryer
and set the thermostat to 250°F (121°C). Operate at this
temperature until the compound is completely melted.
Operating at higher temperatures can scorch the frying
compound.
3. For optimum frying compound life, it has been
recommended by the manufactures of the compound
limit the maximum operating temperature to 375°F
(190°C) on S18F models and 350°F (177°C) on S18SF
models.
Operating Instructions
The S18 series fryers are equipped with a temperature
limiting safety system. To start the fryer operating:
1. Turn the thermostat to the “OFF” position.
2. Lift the toggle switch to the start position (momentarily
up).
3. Release the switch. It will return to the run position. The
green indicator lamp should be illuminated.
4. Turn the thermostat dial to the desired temperature.
High Temperature Cutoff/Reset
Your Garland Fryer is equipped with a protective secondary
thermostat. If the operating thermostat fails to control
the temperature, the secondary (Hi-Limit) thermostat will
take over. It will cut off power to the heating elements if
the frying compound reaches a temperature greater than
430°F (221°C). The system cannot be reset until the frying
compound drops in temperature by approximately 50°F
(28°C). Repeating the starting procedure can reset the
system.
