COMMISSIONING
Commissioning of the new fryer is of the utmost importance. Commissioning is the thorough and methodical testing of the equipment, sub systems, and systems to ensure that the final product functions properly and safely at the work site. By identifying any potential problems (i.e.: equipment location, ventilation, local fire/electrical codes, installation, operator training and certification) prior to equipment being placed into service, costly outages and potential damages may be avoided. SAFETY ALWAYS.
Legs/Feet
Install legs/feet by screwing each leg into the threaded openings on the bottom of the fryer. Failure to use legs/feet will void warranty and could cause unsafe conditions.
Leveling
Level unit by adjusting the four legs/feet and tighten securely. The adjustable legs/feet have an adjustment of one inch for lineup with other Globe countertop lines. Check the legs/feet regularly to make sure they are tight. Make sure the work surfaces of the bench/table the fryers sits on are kept clean and maintained to avoid any accidents. Make sure the bench/table is adequately built to hold the weight of the fryer. Empty (without oil/shortening added) PF10E = 16.8 lbs, PF16E = 19.2 lbs, PF32E = 29.2 lbs.
IMPORTANT
Suitable Pans: Use only the fry baskets and fry pot provided with your fryer. DO NOT substitute the baskets or fry pot with any other container.
The fryer electrical head has two locating buttons that need to be aligned

Make sure the oil pan is placed into the fryer body evenly, and lower the element into the frying pot bay following the two simple steps . Points A, cradles and guides the head to the fryer body.
NOTE: Easy push buttons to lock and unlock located on the operator right-side; lift and lower heating element for cooking or cleaning. Point A is the cradle pin guide. Point B determines the position of the head in either the working (Drip Oil) position or the cleaning (Remove Pot) position.
Place the electrical head into the supporting cradle brackets placing Points A into the element cradle pin guide; then gently pull the fryer electrical head forward to lock Point B into the first position

globe_countertop_electric_fryers_pf32e-installation.png

NOTE

Point B allows the fryer head to stay in the raised (Drip Oil or Remove Pot) position, or by pushing and/or depressing the button and holding the insulated element handle, you can also lower the element into the pan and its operating position.
These steps can be repeated in reverse for cleaning purposes.
Point B has two level options: Fully raised 90° (Remove Pot position), allows pan to be removed; raised to 75° (Drip Oil position), allows for cleaning and draining oil/fat from the element.
Make sure the fryer is off. It is now ready to be filled with the appropriate oil/shortening required. For shortening, it is advised to breakdown first to avoid overheating of the element.
In the “Off” position, the fryer pot can be filled with the heating element up or down. Once the pot is full with appropriate cooking oil, carefully lower the heating element into the pot if up. Make sure the heating element is always fully covered with oil. Once the heating element is fully covered with oil, the fryer can then be turned “On”. Refer to the Operating Instruction in this manual to properly start and operate the fryer.

Safeguards & Safety Operating Instructions

The fryer does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Globe dealers or recommended qualified technicians should carry out repairs if necessary. Do not remove any components or service panels on this product.
DO NOT attempt to spray or pour water in or around the fryer. This is EXTREMELY dangerous as water and oil create a volatile reaction when combined.

Operating Instructions

Operating the Electric Fryer
Make sure all fryer parts are always cleaned thoroughly before use. Detergents can be used to break down cooking oil and ensure adequate cleaning. For further cleaning instruction, refer to the cleaning section of the manual.

Fryer Operation

Fill the pan with oil, fat or shortening until level indicator line is reached.
1. Your choice of oil/fat will influence the quality of products cooked in the fryer. It will also influence the life of the oil/fat. Please be sure to regularly change oil/fat to maintain best cooking results and to avoid the breakdown down of oil/fat which will eventually lead to the oil igniting. - A non-golden color or dark, burnt areas on food may indicate that the oil/fat needs to be changed.
2. If solid shortening is used, pack the fat around the heating element and set the thermostat between 200°F and 250°F. This will ensure the fat heats slowly and covers the element. Failure to do so will trip the Hi Limit protection switch.
3. It is recommended that for preparation heat up, each day, fat is brought up to temperature steadily, particular when solids fats/shortening is used.
4. Make sure oil/fat levels are maintained according to the indication marks in the pan. Over filling the oil pans will result in over flow from surge boiling once food product is lowered into the pan for cooking.
After proper oil/fat levels are obtained, make sure the heating element is lowered into the oil, turn the unit “On” and set the thermostat dial for desired cooking temperature. - While preheating, the amber light will stay on. When the selected temperature is reached, the indicator light will go out.
Once the oil/fat has reached the desired temperature, the baskets with food product can be lowered carefully into the oil/fat.
Only fill the baskets half way to ensure the best cooking results and to avoid surge boiling that can result in injury The fryer is thermostatically controlled and will operate according to the desired temperature setting, ensuring temperatures are maintained through cooking cycles. The fryer does not come equipped with a timer; make sure to observe fryer while cooking each product every time or use a regular cooking timer, record and repeat your data for cooking of your food products
Once the food is cooked, carefully lift the baskets from the oil/fat and allow the baskets to rest on the supports This will allowany excess oil/fat to drain back into the oil pan.

NOTE: If the temperature of the fat should get too high or if the elements are left “ON” in the raised position, or while cleaning, the “HI LIMIT” control will turn off the unit. If this occurs, turn the thermostat to “OFF” position, allow the fryer to cool and press the reset button on the back of the control box. To gain access to reset button, unscrew cover on back of control box. After resetting the unit, to protect reset button during operation, reinstall the cover over the reset button by screwing it back on control head. Normal operation can be resumed

NOTE: If the Hi Limit continually turns off the unit, please refer to the troubleshooting guide.
Low Usage / Between Frying
IMPORTANT: Turn fryer temperature down to 200°F between product frying to avoid burning oil and causing the fryer to be manually reset.

For nightly shut-down or non-use storage, make sure to turn the unit “Off” and dial the thermostat to the “Off” position.
Let the fryer and oil cool.
Once cool, it may be necessary to cover the top of the fryer with a fryer cover/night guard. Fryer covers are an accessory that can be purchased separately through your fryer supplier or dealer.

Helpful Hints - Oil Deterioration

Signs of Oil Deterioration

Oil darkens with use because the oil and food molecules burn when subjected to high / prolonged heat.
The more an oil batch is used, the slower it will pour. Oil viscosity changes because of its molecular structure.
Loose absorbent particles accumulate as sediment at the bottom of the fryer storage container or are suspended in the oil.
When smoke appears on the oil’s surface (before the temperature reaches 190° C / 375°F) the oil in the fryer will no longer ef fectively deep fry food products.
When the oil in your fryer omits a foul odor or if the oil smells like the food fried/cooked in it, the oil should be carefully discarded.

How to Safely Reuse oil

Strain oil through a few layers of cheese cloth to catch any food particles. Only do this once the oil has cooled. DO NOT attempt to do this when the oil is in use or directly after.
Shake off excess batter from food before putting into the fryer. This will reduce the amount of excess food particles
Turn off the heat to the fryer once cooking is complete. Exposing oil to prolonged heat accelerates the life of the oil.
Store oil in a cool, dark place. Once fryers are off and have cooled, cover the fryer with a guard/cover.
Avoid iron or copper pots or pans for frying oil that is to be reused. These metals accelerate the life of the oil.

Cleaning Instructions

Caution

ALWAYS unplug and allow the fryer and the oil to cool before cleaning.
DO NOT use any cleaning fluids that can be harmful to you, others around you, or the environment.
DO NOT hose down, immerse or pressure wash any part of the fryer.
NEVER use a scrubber pad, steel wool or abrasive material to clean the fryer.

ALWAYS DISCONNECT OR UNPLUG THE ELECTRICAL POWER FROM THE FRYER BEFORE CLEANING.

RECOMMENDED CLEANING

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
The fryer was designed for ease of disassembly and cleaning. The fryer should be cleaned after each day’s operation; however, it may require cleaning more often, depending on the volume of production. A clean fryer performs better and more safely, produces higher quality product and reduces maintenance costs. When cleaning, always consider safety first. Ensure all power is off and the unit has been disconnected from the power source.

Turn the thermostat to the “OFF” position, switch the on/off switch off, and disconnect from the power.
Allow the oil/fat to cool to a safe handing temperature.
Remove fry baskets and clean, using standard dishwashing detergent. Be sure to rinse thoroughly.
After the oil has cooled, use the insulated handle on the element assembly to raise heating element(s) to the first stop.
Allow the oil/fat to drain for several minutes and then raise heating element(s) to the full raised position. Be sure that the latch has properly engaged
Use gloves or pot holders to remove the fry tank and drain the fat. Depending on the oil/fat quality, this can either be replaced of filtered for further use.
For detail cleaning, the electrical head can be entirely removed from the fryer body.
NOTE: The body, baskets and pans are dish machine washable or can be submerged in water for cleaning. Make sure to dry the body, baskets and pans fully before reassembling.
