CHAPTER 3: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 Equipment Setup and Shutdown Procedures
Setup
DANGER
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with
water, oil or shortening before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will result in
irreparable damage to the elements and may cause a fire.
DANGER
Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with oil or shortening.
Failure to do so will cause spattering of hot liquid when the oil or shortening is
heated to cooking temperature.
1. Fill the frypot with oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot. This will
allow for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill cold oil any higher than the bottom line;
overflow may occur as heat expands the oil.
NOTE: If solid shortening is used, first raise the elements, then pack the shortening into the
bottom of the frypot. Lower the elements, and then pack the shortening around and over the
elements to the lower mark. It may be necessary to add shortening to bring the level up to the
upper mark after the packed shortening has melted. Cooking oil/shortening capacity of H17
series fryer is 50 lbs. (25 liters) at 70°F (21°C).
DANGER
Never set a complete block of solid shortening on top of the heating elements.
When using solid shortening, always pre-melt the shortening before adding it to the
frypot. If the shortening is not pre-melted, it must be packed down into the bottom of
the frypot and between the elements, and the fryer must be started in the melt-cycle
mode.
Never cancel the melt-cycle mode when using solid shortening. Doing so will result
in damage to the elements and increase the potential for a flash fire.
2. Replace the basket support rack on top of the heating elements.
3. If the fryer is not hard-wired into the power supply, ensure that the power cord is plugged into
the appropriate receptacle. Verify that the face of the plug is flush with the outlet plate, with no
portion of the prongs visible.
PDF compression, OCR, web optimization using a watermarked evaluation copy of CVISION PDFCompressor

4. Ensure that the oil level is at the topOIL LEVEL line when the oil is at its cooking temperature.
It may be necessary to add oil to bring the level up to the upper mark, after it has reached cooking temperature.
Shutdown
1. Turn the fryer off.
2. Filter the oil and clean the fryers (See Chapters 4 and 5).
3.2 Operation of the Solid-State Digital Controller
NOTE: Refer to Chapter 4 of this manual for operating instructions for the built-in filtration system.
Fryers configured for marine use are equipped with remotely mounted solid-state digital controllers.

PDF compression, OCR, web optimization using a watermarked evaluation copy of CVISION PDFCompressor
3–2
The fryer has two built-in high-limit protection features. If the temperature in the frypot reaches
411°F (210°C), an alarm will sound. In the event that the temperature continues to rise, there is a
second and separate high limit circuit that will shut down the system at 425° (218°C), sound an
alarm and display “help”.
A shunt trip device is integrated into the Cruise Line specifications. The shunt trip is a contact,
which is closed by a coil in the fryer’s 24-volt safety circuit. Leads from the shunt trip extend from
the fryer and can be wired to a specialized shipboard circuit breaker. Voltage from the ship passes
through the closed shunt trip on the fryer, keeping the ship’s circuit breaker closed. If the fryer’s
safety circuit opens due to the hi-limit opening or the opening of a drain valve while the fryer is on,
the shunt-trip circuit on the fryer opens, which opens the ship’s circuit breaker, killing power to the
fryer.
The digital controller has no timing features, so the operator must monitor cooking.
WARNING
Before pressing the power switch to the ON position, ensure that the frypot is
properly filled with oil. See Section 3.1.
CONTROLLER OPERATING PROCEDURE
1. Turn the power switch ON.
2. Verify that the control is set to the desired cooking temperature.
3. Press the power switch to the ON position. The POWER light will illuminate.
4. If the frypot temperature is below 180°F (82°C), the controller will automatically enter a warm-
up cycle (often called a melt cycle). The heating elements will cycle on and off repeatedly,
allowing the oil to heat gradually, without scorching. During the warm-up cycle, the heating
mode light (decimal point) will alternately illuminate and go off as the elements cycle on and off.
When the frypot temperature reaches 180°F (82°C), the controller will exit the warm-up cycle
and the heating mode light will remain continuously illuminated.
5. When the oil temperature reaches the setpoint, the elements will cycle OFF and the HEAT light
will go off, indicating that the fryer is ready for the cooking process to begin.
INTRODUCTION
The Digital Controller allows the operator to program th e frypot setpoint and to toggle the display
between the frypot temperature and the programmed setpoint. The setpoint is an operatordetermined frying temperature. When the controller is turned on, it automatically brings the cooking
oil to the setpoint and maintains it at that temperature until the controller is turned off. Units display
the setpoint by default. This controller also features a programmable melt-cycle cancel switch and a
switch for toggling the temperature display between Fahrenheit and Celsius as well as toggling
between the setpoint and the actual temperature.

The controller has three error display messages:
, indicating a heating problem or drain valve problem. Turn the fryer off reset the drain
handle and try again. If the error still appears, call the Frymaster hotline.
and actual frypot temperature, indicating that the shortening temperature is above 411°F
(210°C). If this display is seen, turn the fryer off immediately and contact an authorized service
center.
, indicating that the controller has detected a problem in the temperature measuring circuits
and control circuits. Turn the fryer off and contact an authorized service center.
NOTE: This controller is configured for the fryer on which it installed (i.e., gas or electric and full-
or split-pot). Although identical in appearance, controllers configured for use on one type of fryer
are not interchangeable with those configured for use on another type.
CONTROLLER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Turn the controller on by pressing the ON/OFF switch .
The controller software version number will display for four seconds then, in non-CE units, the
setpoint temperature will appear in the display. In CE units, the frypot temperature will appear
in the display – to view the setpoint temperature, press the temperature switch for the frypot
in question.
A decimal point will appear between the first two numbers of the display, indicating that the unit
is heating. When the frypot has reached the setpoint temperature, the heat indicator decimal
point will go out, indicating that the fryer is ready for cooking.
2. Adjust the setpoint if necessary. To raise the setpoint temperature, press an up arrow . Press
a down arrow to lower the setpoint temperature.
The display will change at the rate of approximately one-degree per second initially. If the arrow
is pressed and held, after a change of about 12°, the rate of change will increase, allowing large
changes in setpoint temperature to be made quickly.
SELECTING FAHRENHEIT OR CELSIUS DISPLAY MODE
To toggle the temperature display between Fahrenheit and Celsius, press the right C/F switch .
The display(s) will change from xxx°F to xxx°C, where “xxx” is the frypot or setpoint temperature.
CANCELING THE MELT-CYLE

CHAPTER 4: FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 Introduction
The FootPrint Pro filtration system allows the oil in one frypot to be safely and efficiently filtered
while the other frypots in a battery remain in operation. Section 4.2 covers preparation of the filter
system. Operation of the system is covered in section 4.3.
WARNING
The work center supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made
aware of the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the
aspects of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.
4.2 Preparing the Filter for Use
1. Rotate the pan-locking rod to either side
until it clears the filter pan, then pull the
pan out from the cabinet. Remove the
crumb tray, hold-down ring. Remove
the used filter paper in the pan. Remove
the filter paper support screen. Clean
all components with a solution of
detergent and hot water then dry
thoroughly.
The filter pan on the FPPH217 is
equipped with rollers in rails, much like
a kitchen drawer. The pan may be
removed for cleaning or to gain access to
interior components by lifting the front
of the pan to disengage the front rollers,
then pulling it forward until the rear
rollers clear the rails. The pan cover
must not be removed except for
cleaning, interior access, or to allow a
shortening disposal unit (SDU) to be
positioned under the drain. On the
FPH117, the pan slides out on rails, but
when fully removed from the cabinet, it
has wheels to roll on.

4.3 Operation of the Filter
b
p
DANGER
Draining and filtering of oil must be accomplished with care to avoid the possibility
of a serious burn caused by careless handling. The oil to be filtered is at or near
350°F (177°C). Ensure drain handles are in their proper position before operating
any switches or valves. Wear all appropriate safety equipment when draining and
filtering oil.
DANGER
NEVER attempt to drain oil from the fryer with the elements energized! Doing so will
cause irreparable damage to the elements and may cause a flash fire. Doing so will
also void the Frymaster warranty.
1. Ensure that the filter is prepared. See Sec. 4.2
2. Make sure the oil is at operating temperature.
3. Turn the fryer power OFF. Drain the
frypot into the filter pan. Remove the
asket support rack and raise the element
assembly to the up position. If necessary,
use the Fryer's Friend clean-out rod to
clear the drain from inside the frypot.
Open valve by
moving the handle
to the right.
DANGER
Do not drain more than one frypot at a time into the built-in filtration unit to avoid
overflow and spillage of hot oil.
DANGER
NEVER attempt to clear a clogged drain valve from the front of the valve! Hot oil will
rush out creating the potential for severe burns. DO NOT hammer on the drain valve
with the cleanout rod or other objects. Damage to the ball inside will result in leaks
and will void the Frymaster warranty.
4. After the oil has drained from the frypot,
turn the filter handle to the ON position
to start the pump and begin the filtering
process. Make sure the drain valve is left
open. There may be a slight delay

5. The filter pump draws the oil through the filter medium and circulates it through the frypot
during a 5-minute process called polishing. Polishing cleans the oil by trapping solid particles in
the filter medium.
6. After 5 minutes, close the drain valve and allow the fryer to refill. Let the filter pump run 10 to
12 seconds after the oil begins to bubble. Turn the filter off.
WARNING
The filter pump is equipped with a manual reset switch (see photo below) in case the
filter motor overheats or an electrical fault occurs. If this switch trips, turn OFF
power to the filter system and allow the pump motor to cool 20 minutes before
attempting to reset the switch.
7. Lower the elements into the frypot and reinstall the basket support rack. Ensure the drain valve
is fully closed. (If the drain valve is not fully closed, the fryer will not operate.) Turn the fryer
ON and allow the oil to reach setpoint.
DANGER
The crumb tray must be emptied into a fireproof container at the end of frying
operations each day. Some food particles can spontaneously combust if left soaking
in certain shortening material.
WARNING
Do not bang fry baskets or other utensils on the fryer’s joiner strip. The strip is
present to seal the joint between the fry vessels. Banging fry baskets on the strip to
dislodge shortening will distort the strip, adversely affecting its fit. It is designed for
a tight fit and should only be removed for cleaning.
4.4 Draining and Disposing of Waste Oil
When your oil has reached the end of its usable life, drain the oil into an appropriate container for
transport to the disposal container. Frymaster recommends the use of the Frymaster Shortening
Disposal Unit (SDU). Refer to the documentation furnished with the disposal unit for specific
operating instructions. If a shortening disposal unit is not available, allow the oil to cool to 100°F

(38°C), and then drain the oil into a metal stockpot or similar metal container. When draining is
finished, close the fryer drain valve securely.
DANGER
Allow oil to cool to 100°F (38°C) before draining into an appropriate container for
disposal. When draining oil into a disposal unit, do not fill above the maximum fill
line located on the container.

CHAPTER 5: PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
5.1 Cleaning the Fryer
The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a
fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles
can spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.
Never attempt to clean the fryer during the frying process or when the frypot is filled
with hot oil. If water comes in contact with oil heated to frying temperature, it will
cause spattering of the oil, which can result in severe burns to nearby personnel.
Use a commercial-grade cleaner formulated to effectively clean and sanitize
food-contact surfaces. Read the directions for use and precautionary statements
before use. Particular attention must be paid to the concentration of cleaner and the
length of time the cleaner remains on the food-contact surfaces.
5.1.1 Clean Inside and Outside of the Fryer Cabinet – Daily
Clean inside the fryer cabinet with a dry, clean cloth. Wipe all accessible metal surfaces and
components to remove accumulated oil and dust.
DO NOT spray the fryer cabinet with water.
Clean outside the fryer cabinet, with a clean, damp cloth soaked with dishwashing detergent. Wipe
with a clean, damp cloth.
5.1.2 Clean the Built-in Filtration System – Daily

5.1.3 Clean the Frypot and Heating Elements – Weekly
DANGER
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with
water or oil/shortening before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will result in
irreparable damage to the elements and may cause a fire.
Boiling-Out the Frypot
Before the fryer is first used, it should be boiled out to ensure that residue from the manufacturing
process has been eliminated. Also, after the fryer has been in use for a period of time, a hard film of
caramelized vegetable oil will form on the inside of the frypot. This film should be periodically
removed by following the boil-out procedure that follows.
1. Before switching the fryer(s) ON, close the frypot drain valve(s), then fill the empty frypot with
a mixture of cold water and low-sudsing dishwashing detergent (or a commercially available
boil-out solution). Follow instructions on the container when mixing.
2. Press the fryer ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
3. Set the temperature to 190°F (88°C).
4. Simmer the solution for 45 minutes to one hour. Do not allow the water level to drop below the
bottom oil-level line in the frypot during the boil-out operation.
DANGER
Never leave the fryer unattended during the boil-out process. If the boil-out solution
boils over, turn the fryer off immediately and let the solution cool for a few minutes
before resuming the process.
5. Turn the fryer ON/OFF switch(s) to the OFF position.
6. Add two gallons of water. Drain out the solution into a stockpot and clean the frypot(s)
thoroughly.
WARNING
Do not drain boil-out solution into a shortening disposal unit, a built-in filtration unit,
or a portable filter unit. These units are not intended for this purpose, and will be
damaged by the solution.
7. Refill the frypot(s) with clean water. Rinse the frypot(s) twice, drain and dry with a clean towel.
Thoroughly remove all water from the frypot and elements before refilling the frypot with oil.

DANGER
Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with oil or shortening.
Failure to do so will cause spattering of hot liquid when the oil or shortening is
heated to cooking temperature.
5.1.4 Clean Detachable Parts and Accessories – Weekly
Wipe all detachable parts and accessories with a clean, dry cloth. Use a clean cloth saturated with
detergent to remove accumulated carbonized oil on detachable parts and accessories. Rinse the parts
and accessories thoroughly with clean water and wipe dry before reinstalling.
5.2 Annual/Periodic System Inspection
This appliance should be inspected and adjusted periodically by qualified service personnel as
part of the galley material maintenance management (3M) program.
Frymaster recommends that a Factory Authorized Service Technician inspect this appliance at
least annually as follows:
Fryer
• Inspect the cabinet inside and out, front and rear for excessive oil build-up and/or oil migration.
• Verify that the heating element wires are in good condition and that leads have no visible fraying
or insulation damage and that they are free of oil migration build-up.
• Verify that heating elements are in good condition with no carbon/caramelized oil build-up.
Inspect the elements for signs of extensive dry-firing.
• Verify that the tilt mechanism is working properly when lifting and lowering elements and that
the element wires are not binding and/or chafing.
• Verify the heating-element amp-draw is within the allowed range as indicated on the appliance’s
rating plate.
• Verify that the temperature and high-limit probes are properly connected, tightened and
functioning properly, and that mounting hardware and probe guards are present and properly
installed.
• Verify that component box and contactor box components (i.e. controller, relays, interface
boards, transformers, contactors, etc.) are in good condition and free from oil migration build-up
and other debris.

• Verify that the frypot is in good condition and free of leaks and that the frypot insulation is in
serviceable condition.
• Verify that all wiring harnesses and wiring connections are tight and in good condition.
Built-In Filtration System
• Inspect all oil-return and drain lines for leaks and verify that all connections are tight.
• Inspect the filter pan for leaks and cleanliness. If there is a large accumulation of crumbs in the
crumb basket, instruct the supervisor that the crumb basket must be emptied into a fireproof
container and cleaned daily.
• Verify that all O-rings and seals (including those on quick-disconnect fittings) are present and in
good condition. Replace O-rings and seals if worn or damaged.
• Check filtration system integrity as follows:
− Verify that filter pan cover is present and properly installed.
− With the filter pan empty, place each oil return handle, one at a time, in the ON position. Verify
that the pump activates and that bubbles appear in the cooking oil of the associated frypot.
− Close all oil return valves (i.e., place all oil return handles in the OFF position). Verify proper
functioning of each oil return valve by activating the filter pump using the lever on one of the oil
return handle microswitches. No air bubbles should be visible in any frypot.
− Verify that the filter pan is properly prepared for filtering, then drain a frypot of oil heated to
350°F into the filter pan and close the frypot drain valve. Place the oil return handle in the ON
position. Allow all oil to return to the frypot (indicated by bubbles in the oil). Return the oil
return handle to the OFF position. The frypot should have refilled in no more than 2 minutes and
30 seconds.
