CHAPTER 3: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 Start-Up Procedure
CAUTION
If this is the first time the fryer is being
used after installation, refer to Section
3.2, Boil-Out Procedure.
Knob is shown in
OFF position.
CAUTION
The cooking oil/shortening capacity of
the 45 Series fryer is 80 lbs (43 liters)
at 70ºF (21ºC).
Before lighting the fryer, make sure the
fryer is OFF and the frypot drain valve
is closed. Remove the basket support
rack, if installed, and fill the frypot to
the bottom OIL-LEVEL line.
To prevent scorching, if solid
shortening is being used, make sure it
is tightly packed down into the bottom
of the frypot.
Non-CE Standard
Units configured to Non-CE standards are
equipped with Robertshaw valves.
Note index mark.
3. Place a flame near the pilot assembly, push
and hold the knob in, light the pilot, and
continue to depress the knob for at least 60
seconds after the pilot lights. Failure to
hold the knob in long enough will cause
the pilot to go out when the knob is released. If the pilot goes out when the knob
is released, wait at least 5 minutes then repeat this step.
4. Turn the gas valve knob to the ON position.
Lighting the Pilot on Honeywell Valves:
1. Ensure power to the unit is OFF.

Placing the Fryer into Operation.
For units equipped with Thermostat
Controls:
Place the Melt Cycle switch (if equipped)
to the ON position. Set the thermostat
knob to the desired cooking temperature.
The U-shaped burner should “light-off”
and burn with a strong, blue flame.
CAUTION
Thermostat-controlled fryers will
stay in the Melt Cycle mode until
the Melt Cycle switch is placed in
the OFF position.
For units equipped with other than
Thermostat Controls:
Place the computer/controller ON/OFF
switch in the ON position and set the controller to—or program the computer for—
the desired cooking temperature, referred
to as the setpoint. The U-shaped burner
should “light off” and burn with a strong,
blue flame. The unit automatically enters
the Melt Cycle mode if the frypot temperature is below 180ºF (82ºC). (NOTE:
During the melt cycle, the burner will repeatedly fire for a few seconds, then go out
for a longer period.) When the frypot
temperature reaches 180ºF (82ºC), the unit
will automatically switch to the Heating
mode. The burner will remain lit until the
frypot temperature reaches the programmed cooking temperature (setpoint).
3.2 Boiling-Out the Frypot
To ensure that the frypot is free of any contamination resulting from its manufacture,
shipping, and handling during installation, the
frypot must be boiled out before first use.
Frymaster recommends boiling out the frypot
each time the oil or shortening is changed.
DANGER
Never leave the fryer unattended
during the boil-out process. If the boil-
out solution boils over, turn off power
to the fryer immediately and let the
solution cool for a few minutes before
resuming the process.
1. Before lighting the burner, close the fryer
drain valve(s) and fill the frypot to the
bottom OIL-LEVEL line with a mixture of
cold water and Frymaster™ FRYER ‘N’
GRIDDLE cleaner or detergent.
2. For units equipped with thermostat con-
trollers, set the thermostat to 280ºF
(140ºC).
For units equipped with analog or digital
°°°°
controllers, set the setpoint to 200
(93
°°°°
C).
F
For units equipped with Computer Magic
III computers, select the Boil-Out feature
in accordance with the procedure Using
the Boil-Out Feature on page 3-7.
3. Place the fryer into operation in accor-
dance with Section 3.1.
4. Simmer the solution for 1 hour.
5. After the solution simmers for 1 hour, turn
the fryer off, allow the solution to cool,

then add 2 gallons (7.75 liters) of cold
water and stir. Drain the solution into a
suitable container and clean the frypot
thoroughly.
WARNING
Do not drain boil-out solution into
the built-in filtration system. Doing
so may cause damage to the
filtration pump.
6. Rinse the frypot at least twice by filling the
frypot with clean water and draining. Dry
the frypot thoroughly with a clean, dry
towel.
DANGER
Remove all drops of water from the
frypot before filling with cooking
oil/shortening. Failure to do so may
cause spattering of hot liquid when
the oil/shortening is heated to
cooking temperature.
3.3 Shutting the Fryer Down
For short-term shut down during the work day,
place the fryer power switch in the OFF position and put the frypot covers in place (if the
fryer is so equipped).
When shutting the fryers down at closing time,
place the fryer power switch in the OFF position, place the gas valve in the OFF position,
and put the frypot covers in place (if the fryer
is so equipped).
