INITIAL CLEANING:
Before filling any Pitco Frialator with oil, it is advised that it be thoroughly cleaned to remove any foreign particles
from the cooking area. The machine should be filled with water to at least the minimum level. Add the sample
packet of Fryer Cleaner and set the temperature control between 90º and 100º C. Using the supplied brush and the
appropriate protective clothing, brush the inside of the fry tank until clean. When finished, turn the machine OFF
and drain, rinse the tank with fresh water and dry carefully. The machine should be filled with oil at this time and all
exposed surfaces coated with a small amount of cooking oil to prevent surface rust.
OPERATION:
CASTERS:
On units with casters, move the fryer to the desired location and lock the wheels using the locking devices
on the front of the casters.
NOTE: Casters must be locked during fryer operation.
COVERS:
In case of an oil fire in the fryer the cover can be used to place on top of the fryer to extinguish the flames. It should
be kept in a nearby location that is uncluttered and easy to reach.
FILLING THE FRY TANK WITH SOLID SHORTENING:
When using solid shortening, it must be cut into approximately 3 cm cubes and loosely packed around each of the
heat tubes. Check that the oil level is at the minimum level once the oil has melted.
LIGHTING THE PILOT:
Turn the gas valve knob to the PILOT position and press inward. Light the pilot flame. Continue to press the g as
valve knob for approximately 60 seconds. The pilot should remain lit when the g as valve knob is released, if NOT,
try to reset the Hi-Limit and relight the pilot.
USING SOLID SHORTENING AND RUNNING THE FRYER UP TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE:
Turn the gas valve knob to the ON position and turn the Thermostat Dail to the desired level. If solid shortenning is
being used, manually pulse the heat ON and OFF by turning the thermostat knob from the ON to the OFF position. This
should be done so that the burners are ON for about 15 seconds, then OFF for 30 seconds. This procedure should be
performed for 10 minutes. At the end of this turn the thermostat knob to the set temperature and the burners will auto-
matically bring the oil up to the cooking temperature. You may now cook with your Pitco fryer.
RUNNING THE FRYER UP TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE:
Turn the gas valve knob to the ON position and turn the Thermostat Dial to the desired level. The burners will
automatically bring the oil up to the cooking temper ature. You may now cook with your Pitco fryer.
SHUTTING THE FRYERS DOWN FOR A SHORT TIME:
If equipped with a Power Switch, turn it to the OFF position and turn the Gas Valve Knob to the PILOT position.
This is recommended ONL Y for short periods of time.
SHUTTING THE FRYERS DOWN FOR AN EXTENDED TIME:
Turn the power Switch (if the machine is equipped with one) to the OFF position and turn the Gas Valve Knob to the
OFF position. This is recommended when the machine is to be left unattended for a long time, such as overnight.
