Replacing the Frypot

1. Disconnect the fryer from the electrical and gas supplies.
2. Remove the filter pan from the unit and drain one frypot at a time into a Shortening Disposal Unit (SDU) or other
appropriate metal container.
DO NOT attempt to drain more than one full frypot into the SDU at one time.
3. Open the control panel by removing the two screws on the bottom of the bezel. Carefully lower the bezel.
4. Remove the top screws in the upper corners of the controller.
5. Grasp the upper edge of each controller and swing the controller downward. Unplug the controller wiring harness
and grounding wire from the back of each controller.
6. Remove the controllers by lifting them from the hinge slots in the control panel frame.
7. Disconnect the sound device wire from the interface board.
8. Disconnect the flame sensor wires by carefully pulling the push-on terminals from the terminal strips on the
ignitors. Disconnect the gas enrichment tube at the ignitor-end compression fitting. Disconnect the ignition
cables from the ignitors by grasping the boots and gently pulling toward you.
9. Dismount the topcap by removing the screws on the bottom of each front corner and lifting the topcap straight up.
10. Remove the two mounting screws on each side of the component box and rotate the top of the box out of the
frame. Carefully pull it out enough to disconnect the wiring harness connector from the back of the box. Cut any
ties that prevent the box from being pulled out of the control panel frame.
11. Carefully pull the box clear of the frame and rest it on top of the fryer.
12. Using a pin pusher, remove the temperature probe, high-limit thermostat wires and RTD probe wires from the
plugs or terminals, marking each wire to facilitate re-assembly.
13. Remove the cover from the safety drain switch. Disconnect the wires from the switch.
