High Limit Control : If, due to a defective thermostat, temperature of fat continues to rise, high limit control** automatically
shuts off heating element(s). When this happens, red pilot light** on control panel comes on. If high limit control should
activate, turn off thermostat and allow fryer to cool. Then press reset buttons** on back of control panel, set thermostat back to
desired temperature and resume frying. If high limit control reactivates, have fryer checked out by a qualified service person.
MAINTENANCE:
Your fryer was designed to strip down for easy cleaning and maintenance, and has "self cleaning" elements. A clean fryer
performs better, turns out higher quality foods, reduces fat costs, and makes for a safer operation.
CLEANING SUGGESTIONS:
1. Turn off power, remove fry baskets, and wait for fat to cool to a safe handling temperature.
2. Raise heating elements(s) to half position to drain for a few minutes; then raise them upright until they lock in place.
3. Carefully remove fry tank(s) (use gloves or potholders) and drain fat through several layers of cheesecloth or filters into
a clean container.
4. Wash and rinse fry tank(s) and baskets thoroughly. Be sure all traces of soap and water are removed before placing them
back in fryer.
5. Keep all exterior surfaces free of splashed grease and other dirt by washing with hot water and soap. Use scouring
powder and a Scotchbrite pad with the grain for tough blemishes. Do not use steel wool, which will mar the bright
stainless steel finish. Rinse and wipe dry; then polish with a soft cloth.
TO CLEAN HEATING ELEMENTS:
1. First, wash and rinse visible surfaces of heating element braces; otherwise, they will turn brown and be harder to clean.
Then, simply lower elements into operating position in empty fry tank and set thermostat to 250°F for a few minutes.
When elements stop smoking, turn off thermostat. Wait for elements to cool; then brush off carbon deposits if necessary.
Clean fry tank.
Your fryer is now completely clean and ready for the next day's operation.
1. Thermostat Adjustment
Problem: Temperature of fat does not appear to coincide with thermostat dial setting, causing improper frying of foods.
Remedy: Place a suitable thermometer with bulb deeply immersed in the fat. Turn thermostat dial to 375° and carefully
remove dial without disturbing setting. To remove dial, grasp knob and pull it toward you. A small adjusting screw will be
visible in center of shaft. When temperature on thermometer approaches 375º F, SLOWLY turn small adjusting screw in
center of shaft clockwise until temp pilot light on control panel goes out.
NOTE: Turning the screw clockwise lowers the temperature; counterclockwise raises it.
2. Fryer Not Heating Properly
Problem: Fat does not heat when front Power Switch & Thermostat is turned "ON" and pilot light does not light.
Possible Causes:
A. High limit control tripped due to high fat temperature
B. Loss of power to fryer.
C. Thermostat not completing circuit to heaters.
Remedy:
A. Reset high limit control by depressing red button at rear of control panel.
B.
Check line fuse or circuit breaker from power source. Replace or reset as necessary.
C.
Check thermostat for continuity and wiring to heaters.
CAUTION: Replacement element(s) must have the same voltage rating as the one(s) removed.
