19. Disconnect the oil return line(s) from the frypot to be removed.
20. Carefully lift the frypot from the fryer cabinet.
21. Remove the drain valve(s), temperature probe(s), high-limit thermostat(s), RTD probes, auto top-off sensors if
equipped and ignitor assemblies. Inspect each of these components carefully and install them in the replacement
frypot if they are in serviceable condition. Use Loctite
NOTE: Some servicers, based upon their experience, recommend that probes and thermostats be replaced
whenever a frypot is replaced; however, this remains the customer's decision.
20. Reverse steps 1-19 to reassemble fryer.
NOTE: Care should be taken not to over-torque nuts on frypots made of 400-series stainless steel, as this could
tear the material. One turn past hand-tight is sufficient torque.

Before installing temperature probe, high-limit thermostat, RTD probe and drain valve on
replacement frypot, clean the threads and apply Loctite
