This deep fryer comes with two (2) baskets and one (1) drain pipe. This unit is also freestanding on casters for easy transportation. Unit requires 5 gallons or 40 lbs. of cooking oil (not included).
Propane tank rentals are available for an additional fee.
THIS UNIT IS EQUIPPED WITH HIGH-LIMIT CONTROL
MOTAK Fryers are equipped with a secondary heat control that prevents the oil temperature from rising above 450°F. (Because of the accuracy tolerance of the sensor, the oil temperature may reach as high as 475°F.) In the event the fryer shuts down due to this condition, the oil must be cooled to below 400°F before the pilot burner can be re-ignited. When the oil has cooled, use the following “Lighting” procedure to place the fryer back in operation.
LIGHTING THE PILOT
Open the burner compartment door and do the following:
- Turn thermostat to “OFF”
- Press down the knob of the combination gas valve, turn it counterclockwise to the “PILOT” position, and continue to press the knob down.
- While pressing the knob down, use a lit match to ignite the pilot. Continue to press the knob down for about 30 seconds. If the pilot does not stay lit when the knob is released, repeat the lighting procedure and keep the knob down longer.
- When the pilot stays lit, turn the knob counterclockwise to the “ON” position. Do NOT press down on the knob in this step.
- Do NOT turn the thermostat “ON” until the frypot is filled with oil or solid shortening.
- Once the frypot is filled with oil or shortening, set the thermostat to the desired temperature.
RELIGHTING
In the event of a main burner ignition failure, a five-minute purge period must be observed prior to re- establishing the ignition source.
- Shut off all gas.
- Wait five minutes.
- Follow the “Lighting” procedure described above.
