pan in place fill the oil vats to the lower fill line (1

" below the center vat divider).

Figure 9—Add Liquid Shortening and Fry Compound.

2. Add one 2 oz. package of Fry Compound to each vat.

• Fry Compound will allow you to cook at a lower temperature and will extend

the life of your shortening as well as enhance the appearance and taste of your

product.

Starting The AUTOFRY

1. Close and lock the main door

2. Press the ON key at the keypad.

• The left side keypad controls the left side oil vat.

• The right side keypad controls the right side oil vat.

If the oil fails to heat within 2 Minutes, Press the OFF key, wait ten seconds then

repeat. If the display ready A05, Press the OFF key then repeat.

If the display reads Sft, Press the OFF key. Ensure that all filters and the filter

cover plate have been installed. Ensure that the exhaust vent, located at the top of

the AUTOFRYis not blocked.

During Start-Up

• The display at the keypads will read current oil temperature and the RED

°WAIT light will be illuminated.

• The exhaust blowers will run as long as oil temperature is at or above 120°

Gradually the oil will heat to the ready temperature. This will take

approximately 10 minutes.

• At 340 degrees the GREEN °READY light will illuminate; however, it is

advisable to wait until the oil temperature has reached 350° F before cooking.

Start-Up Hints:

• The AUTOFRY Model MTI-40E has a large cold zone. The cold zone

functions to extend oil life and prevent food particles from burning should they

fall below the food baskets.

• During initial start-up with new shortening you may want to shut the

AUTOFRY OFF and drain and filter the oil to "stir" the oil in the cold zone.

• If the oil is not drained and filtered there may be some oil temperature

"Recovery" during the first 5-10 cook-cycles.

• The AUTOFRY Model MTI-40E is equipped with automatic re-set high limit

thermostats. These thermostats may trip during start-up if the display reads

A05 or A08, simply press the OFF button at both keypads, drain and filter the

oil.

The thermostats must cool 50 degrees to re-set. By filtering the oil you

will allow the thermostats to air cool.

• Re-start the AUTOFRY by pressing the ON button.
