Introduction - Frymaster MARINE E4 FPRE 17 kW Installation, Operation, Service, And Parts Manual

The fryer has two built-in high-limit protection features. If the temperature in the frypot reaches
411°F (210°C), an alarm will sound. In the event that the temperature continues to rise, there is a
second and separate high limit circuit that will shut down the system at 425° (218°C), sound an
alarm and display "help".
A shunt trip device is integrated into the marine specifications. The shunt trip is a contact, which is
closed by a coil in the fryer's 24-volt safety circuit. Leads from the shunt trip extend from the fryer
and can be wired to a specialized shipboard circuit breaker. Voltage from the ship passes through the
closed shunt trip on the fryer, keeping the ship's circuit breaker closed. If the fryer's safety circuit
opens due to the high-limit opening or the opening of a drain valve while the fryer is on, the shunt-
trip circuit on the fryer opens, which opens the ship's circuit breaker, killing power to the fryer.
The digital controller has no timing features, so the operator must monitor cooking.
Before pressing the power switch to the ON position, ensure that the frypot is
CONTROLLER OPERATING PROCEDURE
1. Turn the power switch ON.
2. Verify that the control is set to the desired cooking temperature.
3. Press the power switch to the ON position. The POWER light will illuminate.
4. If the frypot temperature is below 180°F (82°C), the controller will automatically enter a warm-
up cycle (often called a melt cycle). The heating elements will cycle on and off repeatedly,
allowing the oil to heat gradually, without scorching. During the warm-up cycle, the heating
mode light (decimal point) will alternately illuminate and go off as the elements cycle on and off.
When the frypot temperature reaches 180°F (82°C), the controller will exit the warm-up cycle
and the heating mode light will remain continuously illuminated.
5. When the oil temperature reaches the setpoint, the elements will cycle OFF and the HEAT light
will go off, indicating that the fryer is ready for the cooking process to begin.

INTRODUCTION

The Digital Controller allows the operator to program the frypot setpoint and to toggle the display
between the frypot temperature and the programmed setpoint.
determined frying temperature. When the controller is turned on, it automatically brings the cooking
oil to the setpoint and maintains it at that temperature until the controller is turned off. Units display
the setpoint by default. This controller also features a programmable melt-cycle cancel switch and a
switch for toggling the temperature display between Fahrenheit and Celsius as well as toggling
between the setpoint and the actual temperature.
