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 RE17/22 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.

3–1

4. Ensure that the oil level is at the top OIL 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 (operation of other controllers is

covered in the Frymaster Controllers Manual PN 819-5616)

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.

Marine Solid-State Digital Controller

ITEM DESCRIPTION

1 Lighted Display – LED display for a full-pot fryer. Displays setpoint temperature. 2 On/Off Switch – Switches the power On or Off. 3 C/F Switch – Toggles the display between Fahrenheit and Celsius

Lighted Display- LED Display – Displays current frypot temperature and heat mode light (decimal)

will alternately illuminate as the elements cycle on and off. Temperature / Setpoint Display Switch –Toggles the display between frypot temperature and

setpoint temperature. 6 Up Arrow – Raises setpoint temperature. 7 Down Arrow – Lowers the setpoint temperature. 8 Melt-Cycle Cancel Switch – Cancels the melt-cycle mode.

The digital controller, illustrated above, is used to maintain oil at the temperature indicated by the controller.

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 marine 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 high-limit opening or the opening of a drain valve while the fryer is on, the shunttrip 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.

3–3

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

DANGER

Do not cancel the melt-cycle mode if using solid shortening!

The melt-cycle is designed to prevent scorching shortening and overheating the frypot or elements while gradually melting blocks of shortening. The controller automatically starts the fryer in the

3–4

melt-cycle mode and remains in this mode until the frypot temperature reaches 180°F (82°C) or the melt-cycle is cancelled by the operator. If you are not using solid shortening, you may cancel the melt-cycle.

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 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.

2. Inspect the filter pan connection fitting

to ensure that both O-rings are in good condition. The O-rings are located on the tube disconnect inside the filter pan as shown on the drawing down and to the right.

3. Place the metal filter screen in the cente

of the bottom of the pan, then lay a sheet of filter paper on top of the pan, overlapping on all sides.

4. Position the hold-down ring over the

filter paper and lower the ring into the pan, allowing the paper to fold up around the ring as it is lowered to the bottom of the pan.

5. When the hold-down ring is in position,

sprinkle one cup of filter powder evenly over the paper.

6. Replace the crumb tray in the filter pan,

and then push the filter pan back into the fryer, positioning it under the drain.

4.3 Operation of the Filter

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

rotating the handle

90º.

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

Turn filter handle

osition.

before the pump activates.

4-3

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.

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.

RE SERIES MARINE E4 ELECTRIC FRYERS 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

DANGER

WARNING

Never drain water into the filter pan. Water will damage the filter pump.

There are no periodic preventive maintenance checks and services required for the FootPrint Pro Filtration System other than daily cleaning of the filter pan and associated components with a solution of hot water and detergent.

WARNING

Never spray the fryer with water or use water jets to clean this equipment.

5–1

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 using Digital Controllers (For other controllers see the Frymaster Controller Manual PN 819-5916.)

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.

5–2

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.
