SHORTENING
The shortening level must always be above the heating
elements when the fryer is heating and at the frypot level
indicators on the rear of the frypot (Figure 3-3). Failure
to follow these instructions could result in a fire and/or
damage to the fryer.
When using solid shortening, it is recommended to melt
the shortening on an outside heating source before plac-
ing it in the frypots. The burner tubes must be completely
submerged in shortening. Fire or damage to the frypot
could result.
