A. GENERAL - If the gas fryer is equipped with an Ultrastat 11, 21, or 25 Cooking Computer, NO maintenance is required on the Temperature Sensing Probe. However, if the fryer is equipped with a Default-to-Manual-Restart (DTMR) Control, the Elec- tonic Thermostat may need to be adjusted or calibrated according to the following procedure: B.
Determine that the blower is operating. TROUBLESHOOTING CHART: Should a problem occur that cannot be corrected after performing the above CHECKS, contact an AUTHORIZED repairman and/or Ultrafryer Systems Systems Customer Service 1-800-525-8130 and provide the information acquired while performing these checks.

A. GENERAL - The “basic” gas fryer is equipped with a Default-to-Manual-Restart (DTMR) Control, which uses an Electronic Thermostat. Some fryers are equipped with an Ultrastat 11,21 or 25 Cooking Computer that use the same Temperature Sensing Probe. In this section, the operation of the gas fryer will cover the Default-to-Manual-Restart (DTMR) Control. NOTE: Refer to Manual PN 30A053, ULTRASTAT 11 Cooking Computer Operating Instruction;...
e. EXIT MELT BUTTON - When this button is momentarily depressed, the melt cycle timing module in the DTMR’s Default-To-Melt circuit will switch to the FULL-ON position allowing the Electronic Thermostat to heat shortening to it’s PRE-SET temperature.

SOLID SHORTENING: Cut a block of solid shortening into small pieces. Place small pieces of solid shortening EVENLY on top of the HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES or THOROUGHLY PACK these pieces of solid shortening between, below and above the HEAT EXCHANGER TUBES. While packing solid shortening is messy and time consuming, it is the safest and fastest way to melt solid shortening.
Carriers must be notified immediately and freight inspections must be requested from the carrier. Ultrafryer Systems can and will gladly assist you in prepar- ing and processing of the necessary claims only if proper notification has been accomplished on the carrier deliv- ery document.
