4.1 Filling the Fry Tank

Ensure the drain valve is closed. Fill the stainless steel fry tank with 35-40lb of cooking oil. Do not overfill or underfill the tank.

4.2 การควบคุมอุณหภูมิ

The fryer features a millivolt thermostat control. Adjust the control knob to set the desired oil temperature, ranging from 200°F to 400°F. Allow sufficient time for the oil to reach the set temperature before cooking.

4.3 Using Fry Baskets

The fryer includes twin fry baskets with plastic-coated handles. Load food into the baskets and carefully lower them into the hot oil. Avoid overloading the baskets, as this can lower oil temperature and result in uneven cooking.

4.4 Cold Zone Function

The large "V" shaped cold zone at the bottom of the fry tank helps collect food particles, preventing them from burning and extending the life of the cooking oil. Regularly clean the cold zone as part of your maintenance routine.

• การทำความสะอาดภายนอก: Wipe down the stainless steel exterior (front top and door) with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that can scratch the surface.
• Basket Hanger: The basket hanger is easily removable for cleaning. Remove it periodically and clean thoroughly to prevent grease buildup.
