Before You Begin

The Fry Station Timer (EST-3 and EST-3LS) is designed to track the holding time for Tots, French Fries, and Onion Rings. This helps stores provide consistently high quality products.

The Fry Station Timer has three independent timer channels that track the proper holding. The Timer is solar powered and mounts easily to the top of the Fry Station with a supplied Mounting Bracket (Figure 2).

Three AA power backup batteries are included. The EST-3LS also features an audible signal.

Installing the Fry Station Timer

NOTE: Do NOT obstruct the solar cells at the front and top of the Timer or the Timer may not function properly.

NOTE. Do NOT locate the Timer in areas hotter than 120ºF (49ºC).

1. Take the Timer out of the box.

2. Attach the Timer to the screws on the canopy.

NOTE: In almost all cases, the canopy will have the preexisting screws needed to hang the Timer. If your canopy does not, then use the following steps to mount the Timer.

carefully strike to create an indentation for the drill bit. Be careful not to dent the fry station canopy.

drill as far as possible so only the minimum bit is exposed.

canopy and not damage any wiring that may be present.
