A microswitch that provides protection for the frypot in the event an
operator inadvertently drains the shortening from the frypot while
the main switch is in the COOK position; the switch is designed to
automatically shut off the heat when the drain valve is opened
The collection point for the condensation formed within the steam
exhaust system; it must be removed and emptied periodically, usually
daily
The unit is equipped with a shortening mixing capability to ensure the
shortening is properly mixed to prevent an accumulation of moisture,
causing boiling action in the frypot; the filter pump is activated by the
controls, at preset intervals, to mix the shortening
The fryer lid is equipped with a mechanical catch on the front of the
lid which engages a bracket on the front of the frypot; this device holds
the lid down while the lid is being locked into place, but is not meant to
hold pressure in the frypot
This is a safety component that senses the temperature of the
shortening; if the temperature of the shortening exceeds 420°F
(212°C), this control opens and shuts off the heat to the frypot; when
the temperature of the shortening drops to a safe operation limit, the
control must be manually reset by pressing the red reset button, located
under the control panel, in the right, front of the fryer
Pumps air into the shortening, periodically, to keep the shortening at a
uniform temperature; this only functions when the unit has been sitting
idle for a period of time, and when heating from a cold start
The removable pan that houses the filter and catches the shortening
when it is drained from the frypot; also used to remove and discard old
shortening
When hot shortening is in this pan,
use extreme care to avoid burns.
