1.7 Replacing a Frypot

1. Drain the frypot into the filter pan or, if replacing a frypot over the filter system, into a
Shortening Disposal Unit (SDU) or other appropriate metal container. If replacing a frypot over
the filter system, remove the filter pan and lid from the unit.
DO NOT drain more than one full frypot or two split frypots into the SDU at one time.
2. Disconnect the fryer from the electrical power supply and reposition it to gain access to both the
front and rear.
3. On Euro-look models, slide the metal bezel up to release the bottom tabs; then, remove it.
4. On all models, remove the two screws from the upper corners of the control panels and allow
them to swing down (see illustration and photo on page 1-1).
5. Unplug the wiring harnesses and ground wires from the backs of the controllers. Remove the
controllers by lifting them from the hinge slots in the control panel frame.
6. Remove the tilt housing and back panels from the fryer. The tilt housing must be removed first in
order to remove the upper back panel. To remove the tilt housing, raise the elements and allow
them to rest on the basket support racks (see photo on page 1-3).
Next, remove the hex head screws from the rear edge of the housing. The housing can then be
lifted straight up and off the fryer. Lift up on the upper back panel to disengage the tabs on its
upper corners from the cutouts in the fryer frame.
7. Dismount the top cap by removing the hex head screws at each end that secure it to the control
panel frame.
8. Remove the hex head screw that secures the front of the frypot to the cabinet cross brace.
9. Remove the top-connecting strip that covers the joint with the adjacent frypot.
10. On standard models, unscrew the Teflon vent/vacuum-breaker tube fitting, open the drain tube
cleanout covers, unscrew the retainer nuts from the drain valve nipples, and remove the tube
assembly from the fryer.
On Euro-look models, unscrew the Teflon vent/vacuum-breaker tube fitting, unscrew the nut
located on the front of each section of drain tube, and remove the tube assembly from the fryer.
11. Remove the covers from the drain safety switch(es) and disconnect the switch wiring at the
switch(es).
