KSCFH18E COOL ZONE SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 3.8 Initial Cleaning Before Startup New units are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, grease, etc., remaining from the manufacturing process, then coated lightly with oil. Wash thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove any film residue and dust or debris before food preparation, then rinse out and wipe dry. Wash also any accessories shipped with the unit.
KSCFH18E COOL ZONE SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 3.9 Final Preparation (cont.) Note: If the float switch is blocked in "down position" with solid shortening, the fryer will not operate. Always ensure that the float switch is in the "up" position prior to packing solid shortening into frypot. F. KFC-1 Cooking Computer: Turn computer on (this turns the fryer on also). The computer will run the fryer through the melt cycle to melt the shortening.
KSCFH18E COOL ZONE SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS CHAPTER 4: DAILY OPERATION 4.1 Opening 1. At opening time, always visually check that the computer is "OFF". 4.2 General Use 1. For consistent quality product, convenience and long-term savings, use a high-quality liquid shortening. 2. If using solid shortening, never melt a block of shortening by setting it whole in the fryer vessel. 3.
KSCFH18E COOL ZONE SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS CHAPTER 4: DAILY OPERATION 4.4 Filtering (cont.) 1. If using solid shortening, clear return lines before turning off the filter motor by allowing the pump to run for approximately 10-15 seconds once air bubbles appear in the frypot from the oil return line. Failure to do so will allow solid shortening to cool, solidify and clog the lines. See Chapter 6 for detailed filtration procedures. 4.5 Closing 1.
KSCFH18E COOL ZONE SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS CHAPTER 5: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE 5.1 General Well-maintained equipment operates more efficiently and lasts longer. Keep the fryer clean during the working day and thoroughly clean at the end of each day. 5.2 Daily Wash all removable parts. Clean all exterior surfaces of the body. Do not use cleansers, steel wool, or any other abrasive material on stainless steel. Filter the oil/shortening and replace if necessary.
KSCFH18E COOL ZONE SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS CHAPTER 5: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE 5.4 Periodic/Annual Frymaster recommends that the fryer be inspected annually by a Factory Authorized Servicer for the following checks and adjustments: • Inspect the cabinet inside and out, front and rear for excessive oil build-up and/or oil migration. • Verify that the heating element wires are in good condition and that leads have no visible fraying or insulation damage and that they are free of oil migration build-up.
KSCFH18E COOL ZONE SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS CHAPTER 5: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE 5.4 Periodic/ Annual (cont.) • Check filtration system integrity as follows: − With the filter pan empty, place each oil return handle, one at a time, in the ON position. Verify that the pump activates and that bubbles appear in the cooking oil/shortening (or that gurgling is heard from the Power Shower port) of the associated frypot. − Close all oil return valves (i.e., place all oil return handles in the OFF position).
KSCFH18E COOL ZONE SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS CHAPTER 6: UNDER FRYER FILTER (UFF) FILTRATION 6.1 General WARNING The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.

KSCFH18E COOL ZONE SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS CHAPTER 6: UNDER FRYER FILTER (UFF) FILTRATION 6.3 UFF Filter Operations DANGER Draining and filtering of cooking oil or shortening must be accomplished with care to avoid the possibility of a serious burn caused by careless handling. The oil to be filtered is at or near 350°F (177°C). Ensure all hoses are connected properly and drain handles are in their proper position before operating any switches or valves.
KSCFH18E COOL ZONE SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS CHAPTER 6: UNDER FRYER FILTER (UFF) FILTRATION 6.3.2 Filter Operation 1. Ensure the filter pan assembly is prepared as described in Section 6.2- Filter Preparation. Leave the computer ON before, during, and after the filtering process (use KFC approved filtering procedure). 2. Remove fry baskets from frypot. Prior to filtering, skim any large debris from the shortening/oil. Use extreme caution, as shortening/oil is at or near operating temperature [~350°F (~177°C)].
KSCFH18E COOL ZONE SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS CHAPTER 6: UNDER FRYER FILTER (UFF) FILTRATION 6.3.2 Filter Operation (cont.) 4. After all oil/shortening has drained from the frypot into the filter pan, pull the yellow handle to open the oil return lines and activate the filter pump. Pull the yellow handle to open the oil return valve and activate the filter pump. 5. Oil will begin to pump from the filter pan into the frypot.
KSCFH18E COOL ZONE SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS CHAPTER 6: UNDER FRYER FILTER (UFF) FILTRATION 6.3.2 Filter Operation (cont.) 7. After all oil is pumped back into the frypot, bubbles will form, indicating air in the oil return lines. Allow the oil to bubble for 1015 seconds to ensure all shortening/oil is evacuated from the return lines. Push the yellow handle to close the oil return valve and deactivate the filter pump (see this section, Step #4 for additional reference).
