In Australia, use only the caster supplied by the manufacturer for the fryer device. The fryer must be installed using a
hose assembly restraining device to limit the movement of the appliance in accordance with AS1869. The fryer must be
installed with a connector complying with the above codes. The fryer must be installed with restraining means to guard
against transmission of strain to the connector.
The fryer must be installed with the casters provided. If the restraint is ever to be disconnected, first turn the gas

TO LEVEL
• Check the level of the fryer by placing a level on top of the fryer after gas connections have been made.
• Ensure that the fryer is level front-to-back and side-to-side in the final installed position.
• If using casters, lock the casters after unit is level.
TO USE
Before any food preparation, thoroughly wipe protective oil from all surface parts and the tank interior with hot soapy
water to remove any film residue and dust or debris.
To Fill Tank with Shortening:
- Solid shortening should NOT be used with fryers.
- Melting solid shortening will damage the tank and void your warranty.
1. Close the drain valve.
2. Fill the fryer tank with liquid shortening.
3. Shortening level should be between the min and max lines in the fryer tank.
4. Shortening will expand when heated. Do not ill the fryer tank past the
5. MAX line.
6. Add fresh shortening as needed to maintain oil level.
Lighting the Pilot:

2. After the set temperature has been reached, the thermostat shuts off the gas flow to burners.
3. The pilot remains lit. The burners will cycle on and off, maintaining the set temperature.
*If the shortening becomes overheated, a high-temperature shutoff device will turn the gas valve off and extinguish
the pilot. If the fryer shuts down due to overheating, DO NOT relights the pilot until the shortening temperature is
below 300 F (149 C). If an overheating situation persists, contact your local authorized service office.
