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 controller has three error display messages: , indicating a heating problem or drain valve problem. handle and try again. If the error still appears, call the Frymaster hotline. and actual frypot temperature, indicating that the shortening temperature is above 411°F (210°C).

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. Turn the filter off.
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.
Never attempt to clean the fryer during the frying process or when the frypot is filled with hot oil. If water comes in contact with oil heated to frying temperature, it will cause spattering of the oil, which can result in severe burns to nearby personnel.
Before the fryer is first used, it should be boiled out to ensure that residue from the manufacturing process has been eliminated. Also, after the fryer has been in use for a period of time, a hard film of caramelized vegetable oil will form on the inside of the frypot. This film should be periodically removed by following the boil-out procedure that follows.

NOTE: If more room to work is required, the control panel frame assembly may be removed by removing the hex head screws that secure it to the fryer cabinet (see illustration on the following page). If this option is chosen, all front panel assemblies must be removed per steps 2-4 above.
(SDU) or other appropriate metal container. DO NOT drain more than one full frypot or two split frypots into the SDU at one time. 2. Disconnect the fryer from the electrical power supply and reposition it to gain access to the rear of the fryer.
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.
9. Insert the temperature probe leads into the 12-pin connector C-6 (see illustration below). For full-vat units or the right half of a dual-vat unit (as viewed from the rear of the fryer) the red lead goes into position 3 and the white lead into position 4 of the connector. For the left half of a dual-vat unit (as viewed from the rear of the fryer), the red lead goes into position 9 and the white lead into position 10.

12-pin connector C-6. 3. In the rear of the fryer directly behind the frypot disconnect the 6-pin connector for the left element (as viewed from the front of the fryer) or the 9-pin connector for the right element.
3. Remove the two screws securing the cover of the contactor box. The contactor boxes above the filter pan are accessed by sliding under the fryer. They are located to the left and right above the guide rails (see photo below). The contactor boxes of non-filter units or frypots not over the filter pan are accessed by opening the fryer door directly under the affected frypot.
5. Unplug the wiring harnesses and ground wires from the backs of the controllers. Remove the controllers by lifting them from the hinge slots in the control panel frame. 6. Remove the tilt housing and back panels from the fryer. The tilt housing must be removed first in order to remove the upper back panel.

14. Remove the covers from the drain safety switch(es) and disconnect the switch wiring at the switch(es). 15. At the rear of the fryer, unplug the 12-pin connector C-6 and, using a pin pusher, disconnect the high-limit thermostat leads. 16. Disconnect the oil return flexline(s) at the frypot end(s).
28. Reinstall controllers in the control panel frame and reconnect the wiring harnesses and ground wires. 29. Reposition the fryer under the exhaust hood and reconnect it to the electrical power supply. Built-in Filtration System Service Procedures 7.9.1 Filtration System Problem Resolution One of the most common causes of filtration problems is placing the filter paper on the bottom of the filter pan rather than over the filter screen.
2. Disconnect the fryer from the electrical power supply and reposition it to gain access to both the front and rear. 3. Disconnect the two flexlines running to the oil-return manifold at the rear of the fryer as well as the pump suction flexline at the end of the filter pan connection (see photo below).
8. Get a good grip on the bridge, carefully pull it forward off the oil-return manifold, and lower the entire assembly to the floor. Once on the floor, pull the assembly out the front of the fryer. 9. When required service has been completed, reverse steps 6-12 to reinstall the bridge. NOTE: The black motor wires go on the top terminal, the white on the bottom.
