Solid shortening can only be used in fryers equipped with
a melt cycle. Melting solid shortening without using a melt
cycle will damage the fry tank, heating elements and
scorch the shortening. See Melt Options in this manual
under your particular model for more information.
1. Fill the fryer tank.
2. Shortening level should be between the MIN and
MAX lines in fry tank (Fig. 2). Shortening will
expand when heated; do not fill the fry tank past
the MAX line.
Fig. 2
3. Add fresh shortening as needed.
After draining shortening, allow the tank to cool down before adding all new shortening to avoid
scorching new shortening.
DAILY SHORTENING ADDITION
Add approximately 15% new shortening daily. Keep level of shortening at fill level line in fry tank. Add
fresh shortening as needed.
HIGH LIMIT CONTROL
If the shortening becomes overheated, one of the temperature shutoff devices will shut the fryer off. DO
NOT turn fryer on until the shortening temperature is below 300°F (149°C).
