RE SERIES MARINE E ELECTRIC FRYERS CHAPTER 3: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Equipment Setup and Shutdown Procedures Setup DANGER Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with water, oil or shortening before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will result in irreparable damage to the elements and may cause a fire.
Operation of the Solid-State Digital Controller (operation of other controllers is covered in the Frymaster Controllers Manual PN 819-5616) NOTE: Refer to Chapter 4 of this manual for operating instructions for the built-in filtration system. Fryers configured for marine use are equipped with remotely mounted solid-state digital controllers.
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”.

Place the metal filter screen in the center of the bottom of the pan, then lay a sheet of filter paper on top of the pan, over- lapping on all sides.
DO NOT hammer on the drain valve with the cleanout rod or other objects. Damage to the ball inside will result in leaks and will void the Frymaster warranty. 4. After the oil has drained from the frypot,...

5. The filter pump draws the oil through the filter medium and circulates it through the frypot during a 5-minute process called polishing. Polishing cleans the oil by trapping solid particles in the filter medium. 6. After 5 minutes, close the drain valve and allow the fryer to refill. Let the filter pump run 10 to 12 seconds after the oil begins to bubble.
When your oil has reached the end of its usable life, drain the oil into an appropriate container for transport to the disposal container. Frymaster recommends the use of the Frymaster Shortening Disposal Unit (SDU). Refer to the documentation furnished with the disposal unit for specific operating instructions.
RE SERIES MARINE E ELECTRIC FRYERS CHAPTER 5: PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Cleaning the Fryer DANGER The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles can spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.
Boiling Out the Frypot using Digital Controllers (For other controllers see the Frymaster Controller Manual PN 819-5916.) Before the fryer is first used, it should be boiled out to ensure that residue from the manufacturing process has been eliminated.

SERIES MARINE E ELECTRIC FRYERS CHAPTER 7: SERVICE PROCEDURES General Before performing any maintenance on this equipment, disconnect the fryer from the electrical power supply. When electrical wires are disconnected, it is recommended that they be marked in such a way as to facilitate re-assembly.
Remove these three screws at each end. Remove these two screws from the center supports. Removing the Control Panel Frame and Top Cap Assembly 7. Reconnect the wiring disconnected in Step 5, referring to your notes and the wiring diagrams on the fryer door to ensure that the connections are properly made.
7. Insert the leads into the 12-pin connector C-6 (see illustration below). For full-vat units or the left half of a dual-vat unit (as viewed from the rear of the fryer) the leads go into positions 1 and 2 of the connector. For the right half of a dual-vat unit (as viewed from the rear of the fryer), the leads go into positions 7 and 8.
5. Raise the element and remove the securing probe bracket and metal tie wraps that secure the probe to the element (see illustration below). 6. Gently pull on the temperature probe and grommet. Pulling the wires up the rear of the fryer and through the element tube assembly.

2. On dual-vat fryers, and on full-vat fryers where the temperature probe is attached to the element being replaced, disconnect the wire harness containing the probe wiring. Using a pin pusher, disconnect the probe wires from the 12-pin connector C-6. 3.
8. Reconnect the element connector it was removed from directly behind the frypot, ensuring that the latches lock. 9. Insert the temperature probe leads into the 12-pin wiring harness connector C-6 (see illustration below). For full-vat units or the right half of a dual-vat unit, the red lead goes into position 3 and the white into position 4.
4. The contactors and relays are held on by threaded pin studs so that only removal of the nut is required to replace the component. 5. After performing necessary service, reverse steps 1-4 to return the fryer to operation. Left and right views of mechanical contactor box components. Replacing a Frypot 1.
