the rinse process again, and then wipe fry-
pot with a clean, dry towel.
DANGER
Ensure that the frypot is completely
free of water before filling with cooking
oil or shortening. When the oil or
shortening is heated to cooking
temperature, water in the frypot will
cause splattering.
Clean Detachable Parts and Accessories
As with the frypot, a deposit of carbonized
oil/shortening will accumulate on detachable
parts and accessories such as baskets, sedi-
ment trays, or fish plates
Wipe all detachable parts and accessories with
a clean cloth dampened with a detergent solu-
tion. (Frymaster recommends the use of
®
Fryer 'N' Griddle Cleaner, avail-
Frymaster
able through your local distributor, for best
results.) Rinse and thoroughly dry each part.
Check Calibration of Thermostat or Analog
Controller Temperature Control Knob
(This check applies only to units equipped
with Thermostat or Analog Controllers)
1. Set the thermostat knob to frying tem-
perature.
2. Let the burner cycle on and off automati-
cally three times to allow the cooking
oil/shortening temperature to become uni-
form. If necessary, stir to get all short-
ening in the bottom of the frypot melted.
3. Insert a good-grade thermometer or py-
rometer probe into the oil/shortening, with
the end touching the fryer temperature
probe.

reading against the thermostat knob
setting the next time the burner lights.
e. Repeat steps 4.a. through 4.d. until the

knob setting agree within ± 5ºF (2ºC).
5. Remove the thermometer or pyrometer.
If calibration cannot be obtained, call a Fac-
tory Authorized Service Center for assistance.
