Indicates the pressure inside the frypot
An electromechanical device that causes pressure to be held in the
frypot
The valve closes at the beginning of the Cook Cycle and opens
automatically at the end of the Cook Cycle; if this valve should
become dirty or the teflon seat nicked, pressure will not build and it
must be repaired per the Maintenance Section of the Technical
Manual
A two-way ball valve, normally in the closed position; turn the
handle to drain the shortening from the frypot into the filter drain
pan
DO NOT OPEN THE DRAIN VALVE WHILE
FRYPOT IS UNDER PRESSURE. HOT SHORTEN-
ING WILL EXHAUST FROM THIS VALVE, AND
SEVERE BURNS WILL RESULT.
A microswitch that provides protection for the frypot in the event an
operator inadvertently drains the shortening from the frypot while
the main switch is in the COOK position; the switch is designed to
automatically shut off the heat when the drain valve is opened
The collection point for the condensation formed within the steam
exhaust system; it must be removed and emptied periodically,
usually daily
Ensures the shortening is properly mixed to prevent an accumulation
of moisture, causing boiling action in the frypot; the filter pump is
activated by the controls, at preset intervals, to mix the shortening
A mechanical catch on the front of the lid which engages a bracket
on the front of the frypot; this device holds the lid down while the lid
is being locked into place, but is not meant to hold pressure in the
frypot
