1-5. BASIC OPERATIONS
AND PROCEDURES
404
These are just basic procedures. Refer to the fryer Operator's
Manual for more detailed instructions.
1. Be sure the drain valve is in the closed position.
2. Remove fry basket from frypot and leave lid up.
3. Fill the frypot with shortening.
When using new shortening, it is recommended to
melt the shortening on an outside source before
placing shortening in the frypot. Unless elements are
completely covered in shortening, fire or damage to
the frypot could result.
4. Move power switch to the COOK position. Unit
automatically goes into the Melt Cycle. When the
temperature reaches 230°F (110°C) the control goes
into the Heat Cycle, and heats the shortening until the
temperature setting is reached.
Bypass the Melt Cycle, if desired, by pressing a product
button and holding it for five seconds. The display
shows "EXIT MELT? 1=YES 2=NO". Press
to exit melt.
If the melt cycle is bypassed on fryers with the Frypot
Protection System (FPS), the unit continues to heat as
controlled by the FPS. No change in heat-up time will
be observed.
Do not bypass the Melt Cycle unless enough
shortening has melted to completely cover all of the
heating elements, or the curved surface of the gas
frypot. If Melt Cycle is bypassed before these surfaces
are covered, excessive smoking of the shortening or a
fire will result.
5. Once out of the Melt Cycle,
5°F (3°C) before setpoint temperature is reached.
Then illuminates and the selected product shows
in the display.
