Replacing Fryer Components; Replacing The Controller Or Computer - Frymaster 45 Series Service And Parts Manual

6. When the cooking oil/shortening temperature reaches 325ºF (162ºC), turn the flexible shaft
slowly clockwise until the burner shuts off.
7. Allow the fryer to sit for a few minutes, then slowly turn the flexible shaft counterclockwise un-
til the burner lights.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 at least three times to ensure an accurate setting is obtained. The Thermo-
stat Control is considered to be properly calibrated when the burner lights as the cooking
oil/shortening cools to 325ºF (162ºC)—not when the burner shuts off as the temperature rises.
9. Once the calibration point of 325ºF (162ºC) is determined, allow the burner to cycle on and off at
least 3 times to be sure it will light at the calibrated temperature.
10. After the calibration is complete, place the fryer power switch in the OFF position and disconnect
the fryer from the electrical supply.
11. Carefully replace the thermostat shaft extension, ensuring that the stop screw is pointed straight
up. Tighten the stop screw and locking nut and the setscrew, being careful not to rotate the flexi-
ble shaft.

When handling the thermostat, do not rotate the shaft more than two turns in either
direction. Doing so will cause damage to the thermostat.

13. Reinstall the thermostat knob with its pointer aligned with the 325ºF (162ºC) index mark on the
temperature dial.
