Preface
The Snack Master fryer is designed to
automatically fry fresh cut tortilla chip and other
frozen snack food products utilizing a fully
submerging conveyor.
The Snack Master fryer is designed to be used on
a flat, stationary table or countertop. A specially
designed table come as an option with the full
fryer system. The operator must work safely at
all times and read this manual and follow its
instructions and warnings.
The Snack Master produces only 71.5 dB(A) of
equivalent A-weighted sound pressure at
workstations. This has been determined during a
dry run of the machine, using a Bruel & Kjaer
sound level meter, type 2236.
Study the instructions and warnings in this
manual carefully. A thorough understanding of
how to install, maintain, and safely operate the
Snack Master will prevent production delays and
injuries.
To use the Snack Master fryer safely, heed the
following warnings and all other warnings that
appear in this manual:
•Make sure the machine is secured to the
work surface. Doing so will prevent the
machine from moving or falling, which
could cause serious injury.
•Never let water and hot shortening come
in contact. Moisture causes hot
shortening to spatter, which may cause
serious burns.
•Do not overfill the kettle with
shortening. If shortening overflows the
kettle, it could cause serious burns or
could cause someone to slip on the floor
and be seriously injured.
•Hot shortening can cause serious burns.
Make sure that the system and the
shortening are cool before attempting
any adjustment, repair, disassembly, or
cleaning.
•To avoid electrocution or other injury,
unplug the machine before attempting
any adjustment, repair, disassembly, or
cleaning.
•To avoid damaging the machine, never
use force to assemble, disassemble,
operate, clean, or maintain it.
•Be careful never to get shortening,
water, or other materials on the floor. If
anything does get spilled on the floor,
clean the area immediately. Materials on
the floor can cause people to slip or fall,
resulting in serious injury or loss of life.
•To prevent unintentional startup and
possible fire, unplug the machine if there
is a local power outage. When the
power is restored, it is safe to plug the
machine in again.
•To avoid electrocution, make sure that
all electrical cords are not frayed or
cracked and that they do not pass
through any water or shortening.
•Make sure that all electrical cords are
routed so that no one will trip over them.

control box to the on position. The lamp
in the selector switch is on to indicate
that the fryer heat has been turned The
pilot light on top of the heater head cycles
on when the elements are on and heating
the shortening
8. When the shortening reaches the correct
temperature, verify the shortening level.
Shortening expands as it increases in
temperature. This means that unless the
shortening is at frying temperature when
you put it in the kettle, you should put it
in gradually. Let the shortening in the
kettle heat up before you add more.
Proper shortening level is checked using
the level indicators on the lower
conveyor.
NOTE
The proper shortening level may change
based on the product being fried
•Pre-melt shortening in a pan on the stove
and carefully pour it into the kettle.
•Use the optional EZ Melt to melt
shortening and transfer it to the kettle.
See your EZ Melt manual.
WARNING
Hot shortening causes severe burns.
•Put solid shortening into the kettle,
packing it tightly around the elements
and bulbs.
WARNING
Air spaces can cause the shortening to
overheat and catch on fire.
8. Wait for the shortening to reach the desired
temperature. When it does, the pilot light on
the top of the heater head will go out. DO
NOT run the conveyor until all the
shortening has melted.

selector switch on the control box.
Note: If the conveyor becomes jammed, a
warning buzzer will sound about a minute
later and stop when the conveyor is turned
off. The conveyor drive is impedance-
protected so it will not burn out due to
jamming.

If the conveyor becomes jammed:
1. Turn off the conveyor drive and the
heater.
2. Allow the system to cool down.
HOT SHORTENING IS DANGEROUS.
3. Determine the cause of the jamming.
4. Clear it.
5. Restart the system.
11. Continue adding shortening to the kettle to
maintain the proper shortening level (see
step 2). There are two ways to do this:
•Melt some shortening in a pan on the
stove and carefully pour it into the kettle.
•If you are using the optional EZ Melt,
transfer more shortening from it. See
your EZ Melt manual.
12. To cook product, drop on infeed chute.
Beware of steam exiting out from under the
hood. Place a food bin at the at feed to catch
product as it comes out the outfeed conveyor.
