Turn fryers off.
1
Turn all fryer power switches
to the off position.
Remove and empty grease
2
trough and cup.
Remove the grease trough
from the exhaust hood. Remove the grease cup from the
hood. The trough and cup are
located beneath the hood filters. Pour any oil in the
trough and cup into the oil
removal cart.
Oil in trough and cup may be
hot. Use gloves.
Shut off and disconnect gas.
3
If the fryer is not a gas fryer,
skip this step.
If the fryer is a gas fryer, use
the manual gas shut-off valve
to shut off the gas supply. The
manual gas shut-off valve is
located on the supply line
before the quick disconnects.
Then disconnect the gas line
from the fryer via the quick
disconnect.
If the fryer has a capping
piece, lift the front of the capping piece far enough to let
the backsplash clear the filter
shelf. Roll the fryer carefully
away from the firewall, just
until the capping piece clears
the filter shelf.
Secure the capping piece, if
there is one. Place vat covers
on all vats.
Roll the fryer farther away
from the firewall, far enough
to clean behind the fryer.
Oil in fryer may be very hot.
Roll the fryer slowly to avoid
splashing the oil. Use gloves
Disconnect fryer from

electricity.
Unplug the fryer’s electrical
cord from the outlet by pulling on the electrical plug’s
body. You may need to twist
the plug to remove from the
outlet.
Clean fryer filters.
6
Remove the fryer filters from
the exhaust hood. Take the
filters to the threecompartment-sink and soak
them in McD APSC.
Scrape area behind fryer.
7
Use a putty knife to scrape off
all soft grease and hard carbon from the area behind the
fryer. Clean the following
areas in this order: the parts of
the stack you can reach; the
back of the exhaust hood; the
sides of the exhaust hood; and
the fryer filter recess area.
On an electric fryer, next use
the putty knife to scrape all
soft grease and hard carbon
from all sheet metal around
the fryer, the standoff piece,
and the fryer stand. Skip to
step 8 after these areas are
cleaned.
On a gas fryer, next use the
putty knife to scrape all soft
grease and hard carbon from
these areas in this order: the
flue restrictor, all sheet metal
around fryer, the removable
gravity blade, the seal angle,
the stand-off piece, and the
fryer stand.
On a gas fryer, be careful not
to drop any soft grease or
hard carbon into the fryer flue
passage while cleaning.
Do not break the fire protection fusible link in the lower
area of the stack. Breaking the
link will activate the fire extinguishing system.

Pyrometer with fry
vat probe
Procedure
Calibrate pyrometer.
1
Fill a hot beverage cup with
ice and then add cold water
from the drink tower up to
the top of the ice. You should
have 50 percent ice and 50
percent water.
2 Place probe in water
Place the probe in the ice water and stir continuously until
the temperature readout
stabilizes.
3 Read temperature
The readout should be 32°F
(0°C), plus or minus 2°F
(1°C). If not, you need to
calibrate, repair, or replace
the pyrometer. For calibration, follow the calibration,
checking, and adjusting procedures supplied by the
manufacturer of your pyrometer.
Turn on fryer and heat oil.
2
Press the on/off button to turn
the fryer on. Set the fryer for
the product to be cooked.
Allow the oil in the fryer to
reach cooking temperature
and then cycle off.

temperature. Cook temperature should be reached in
approximately 45 minutes.
For 24-hour restaurants: during low-volume periods
3
Check oil level.
Check the oil level when the
oil has reached cooking temperature. If the oil is above
the “Oil Level” line, remove
oil until the oil is at the line
by draining oil into pan or
disposal unit. If the oil is
below the “Oil Level” line,
add oil until the oil reaches
the line.
Oil in the fryer is very hot.
Use gloves.
Cycle vat.
4
Allow the vat to cycle on and
off three times. The heat light
will come on when the fryer
is heating.
Insert the fry vat probe of the
pyrometer into the hot oil to
within 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the
probe’s tip. The tip should
be approximately 3 inches
(7.6 cm) below the surface of
the oil. Allow the temperature
reading to stabilize.
Display temperature on fryer.
6
Press the temperature display
switch for the vat where you
took the pyrometer reading.
The display will show the
temperature for the vat.
Compare temperature
7
readings.
Compare the temperature
reading on the pyrometer with
the corresponding temperature on the display.
If the two temperatures are
less than 5°F (3°C) apart (either plus or minus), you do
not need to adjust the temperature setting.
If the two temperatures are
more than 5°F (3°C) apart
(either plus or minus), call a
service technician to report
the problem.
End calibration check.
9
When you have finished steps
5 through 7 for the vat (including both sides of a splitvat), press the on/off button to
end the calibration check for
the vat.
Calibrate remaining fryers.
10
Repeat steps 1 through 9 for
all remaining fryers.

Procedure
Turn fryer off.
1
Press the on/off button to turn
the fryer off. The display will
show “OFF.”
Check most recent recovery
2
time.
The fryer automatically records the fryer’s recovery
time each time the vat temperature rises from 250°F
(121°C) to 300°F (149°C).
Press the INFO button. The
display will show the most
recent recovery time in both
displays. Write down the recovery time.
3
Compare most recent recovery
time to acceptable recovery
time.
The acceptable recovery time
for electric fryers is less than
1:40 (one minute, forty seconds). The acceptable
recovery time for gas fryers is
less than 2:25 (two minutes,
twenty-five seconds).
If the recovery time you
wrote down is less than the
fryer’s acceptable recovery
time, the fryer’s performance
is acceptable. Skip to step 5.
If the time you wrote down is
more than the fryer’s acceptable recovery time, the fryer’s
performance is not acceptable. Go to the next step.

Cabinet inspection
1
Inspect the cabinet, inside and out, front and rear, for
excessive oil buildup.
Check regulated gas pressure.
2
Contact the local gas company or a service agency to
check the gas pressure out of the fryer’s gas regulator.
For natural gas, the pressure must be 3.0 in. W.C.
(76 mm W.C.) For propane gas, the pressure must be
8.25 in. W.C. (210 mm W.C.)
If the pressure does not meet these standards, ask the
service agency or gas company to adjust the pressure to
meet the standard.
Probe check
3
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.
Clean and Replace gas valve vent tube.
4
Clean and replace the gas valve vent tube. Follow the
cleaning procedure in the service manual.

7
Clean combustion air blower.
Clean the combustion air blowers. Follow the cleaning
procedure in the service manual.
Check fryer recovery time.
Choose a vat on the fryer. Check the fryer’s most recent recovery time for that vat, using the procedure in
FR3 M1. The most recent recovery time should be less
than 2:25 (two minutes, twenty-five seconds).
If the fryer’s recovery time is less than 2:25 (two minutes, twenty-five seconds).the procedure is complete
for this vat. Go to step 7.
Check combustion.
If the fryer’s recovery time is less than 2:25 (two minutes, twenty-five seconds).skip this step.
Connect the multimeter in series with the white flame
sensor wire on the igniter. Allow the burner to operate
for at least one minute after the melt cycle is completed. After 1 minute, the reading on the multimeter
should between 2.5 and 3.5 microamps. Any other
reading is not acceptable.
After 90 seconds of continuous operation, check the
color of the burner. The burner should glow bright orange-red. Use the Burner Color Comparison Chart
inside the door of the fryer to identify the correct color.
A blue flame or dark spots on the burner face are not
acceptable.
If the fryer’s recovery time is less than 2:25 (two minutes, twenty-five seconds).skip this step.
If either the multimeter reading or the burner color is
not acceptable, adjust the combustion air blower intake
plate.
Loosen the locking nuts on the intake plate with a
small adjustable wrench. Open or close the plate to
adjust the airflow while watching the multimeter reading and the color of the burner. A blue flame usually
means the burner isn’t receiving enough air. Dark spots
on the burner usually mean the burner is receiving too
much air.
When the microamp reading is in the acceptable range
and the burner color is bright orange-red, hol d the
blower intake plate in place. Then tighten the blower
intake plate locking nuts.
Safety device check
9
Verify that all safety features (i.e. drain safety
switches, reset switches, etc.) are present and
functioning properly.
