Frymaster EH1721 Installation & Operation Manual page 14

2. EPRI: The EPRI electric fryer with computer operates differently from other electric
fryers. It will operate in a melt cycle mode until the shortening reaches the setpoint
temperature.
3. Solid State (Analog) Controller. When the melt cycle switch is ON, the controller will
melt the shortening by cycling the elements ON for 3 seconds and OFF for 12 seconds until
the shortening reaches 180°F (82°C). At that point, the controller switches to continuous
heat mode until setpoint has been reached.
f. After shortening reaches the setpoint temperature, let the heating elements cycle at least 4
times, then insert a good thermometer or pyrometer near the temperature sensing probe
approximately 3 inches (7.5 mm) deep into the shortening. When the heating elements just
cycle ON after the fourth time, the thermometer should read within ± 5°F (± 2°C) of the
thermostat knob setting or computer programmed temperature. If not, calibrate the controller
knob by loosening the two set screws and moving the knob to the proper temperature setpoint.
See Chapter 5 for specific instructions to recalibrate the Solid State (Analog) Controller.
g. When the frypot is filled and the shortening melted, replace the basket-support screen over the
heater elements. The fryer is now ready to cook food products.
