3.1 Equipment Setup and Shutdown Procedures
WARNING
The on-site 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.
CAUTION
Before turning on the fryer, ensure the frypot drain valves are closed. Remove the basket support rack(s), if
installed, and fill the frypot to the bottom OIL-LEVEL line. If solid shortening is being used, make sure it is
packed down into the bottom of the frypot.
3.1.1 Setup
DANGER
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled to the bottom OIL-LEVEL line
with water or oil 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. Failure to do so will cause spattering of hot
liquid when the oil is heated to cooking temperature.
WARNING
The BIELA14-T is not intended to use solid shortening without a solid shortening kit installed. The use of
solid shortening without a solid shortening kit will clog the top off oil lines. The oil capacity of the BIELA14-T
LOV™ electric fryer is 32 lbs. (3.8 gallons/14.5 liters) at 70°F (21°C) for a full-vat and 18 lbs. (2.2 gallons/8.33
liters) at 70°F (21°C) for each half of a dual-vat.
1. Fill the frypot with cooking 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. For bulk oil systems see Section 5.3.9 for instructions to fill the vat from bulk. If solid
shortening is used, make sure it is packed down into the bottom of the frypot.
2. Ensure that the power cord(s) is/are plugged and locked (if applicable) into the appropriate receptacle(s). Verify
that the face of the plug is flush with the outlet plate, with no portion of the prongs visible.
3. Ensure that the power is switched on. The master switch is located behind the left fryer door on the front of
the left contactor box.
4. Ensure that the controller is switched ON by pressing and holding the power button for 3 seconds. The fryer
will automatically enter the melt cycle mode if the frypot temperature is below 180ºF (82ºC) and will display
MELT CYCLE IN PROGRESS. (NOTE: During the melt cycle, the elements will energize for a few seconds, then
go out for a longer period.) The shortening must be stirred occasionally during the heating process to ensure
all the shortening in the vat is liquefied. When the frypot temperature reaches 180ºF (82ºC), the unit will
automatically switch to the heating mode and PREHEAT is displayed until within 15°F (9°C) of setpoint. The
elements will remain energized until the frypot temperature reaches the programmed cooking temperature.
Once the fryer reaches setpoint, the controller display changes to START and the fryer is ready for use.
5. Ensure that the oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the oil is at its cooking temperature.
6. The maximum batch load for French Fries in oil or fat shall be no more than 1½ pounds or 0.7 kilograms.

Covered in this section are crew and manager service tasks used in stores such as High Limit Test, E-Log (error log),
password setup, and functions to copy menus to and from the fryer from USB using menu connect.
4.13.1 High Limit Test
The high-limit test mode is used to test the high limit circuit. The high-limit test will destroy the oil. It should only be
performed with old oil. Shut the fryer off and call for service immediately if the temperature reaches 460°F (238°C)
without the second high-limit tripping and the controller displays HIGH LIMIT FAILURE DISCONNECT POWER with an
alert tone during testing.
The test is cancelled at any time by turning the fryer off. When the fryer is turned back on, it returns to the
operating mode and displays the product.

CHAPTER 5: FILTRATION MENU INSTRUCTIONS
5.1 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 5.2 covers preparation of the filter system for use. Operation of the system is covered in Section 5.3.
WARNING
The on-site 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.
WARNING
The filter pad or paper MUST be replaced daily.
5.2 Preparing the Filter for Use
1. Pull the filter pan out from the cabinet slightly
and wait until the dripping stops before
completely removing the pan (shown below).
Remove the crumb tray, hold-down ring, filter
pad (or paper), and filter screen (See Figure 1).
Clean all metal parts with a solution of All
Purpose Concentrate and hot water then dry
thoroughly.

2. Inspect the filter pan connection fitting to
ensure that both O-rings are in good condition
(See Figure 2). Ensure the pre-filter screen is
installed, clean and tight.
Inspect the filter
connection fitting
O-rings.
3. Then in reverse order, place the metal filter screen in the center of the bottom of the pan, then lay a filter pad
over the screen, ensuring that the rough side of the pad is up. Make sure that the pad is in between the
embossed ridges of the filter pan. Then position the hold down ring on top of the pad. If using filter paper, lay a
sheet of filter paper over the top of the pan overlapping on all sides. Position the hold down ring over the filter
paper and lower the ring into the pan, allowing the paper to fold up and around the ring as it is pushed to the
bottom of the pan. Then sprinkle 1 packet (8-ounces) of filter powder over the filter paper.
Figure 2
5-1
Page 50
4. Reinstall the crumb tray at the front of the pan. (See Figure 1)
DO NOT USE FILTER POWDER WITH THE PAD!
5. Push the filter pan back into the fryer, positioning it under the fryer. Ensure “P” is not displayed in the top right
corner of any controller. The filtration system is now ready for use.
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 that may cause severe burns, slipping and falling.
DANGER
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.
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.

5.3.4 Dispose for Non-Bulk Oil Systems
This option is used to dispose of old oil into either a PMSDU or a METAL container.
When cooking oil is exhausted, dispose the oil into an appropriate container for transport to the waste oil container.
Frymaster recommends a McDonald’s Shortening Disposal Unit (PMSDU). Refer to the documentation furnished
with your disposal unit for specific operating instructions. NOTE: If using an MSDU built before January 2004 the
unit will not fit under the drain. If a shortening disposal unit is not available, allow the oil to cool to 100°F (38°C),
then drain the oil into a METAL container with a capacity of FOUR gallons (15 liters) or larger to prevent oil from
spilling.

CHAPTER 6: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
6.1 Fryer Preventive Maintenance Checks and Service
DANGER
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.
DANGER
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.
WARNING
Use McDonald’s All-Purpose Concentrate. 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.
6.2 DAILY CHECKS AND SERVICE
6.2.1 Inspect Fryer and Accessories for Damage
Look for loose or frayed wires and cords, leaks, foreign material in frypot or inside cabinet, and any other
indications that the fryer and accessories are not ready and safe for operation.
6.2.2 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.
Clean the outside of the fryer cabinet with a clean, damp cloth soaked with McDonald’s All-Purpose Concentrate.
Wipe with a clean, damp cloth.
6.2.3 Clean the Built-In Filtration System - Daily
Never operate the filter system without oil in the system.
Never use the filter pan to transport old oil to the disposal area.
Never drain water into the filter pan. Water will damage the filter pump.
There are no periodic preventive maintenance checks and services required for your FootPrint Pro Filtration System
other than daily cleaning of the filter pan with a solution of hot water and McDonald’s All-Purpose Concentrate.
If you notice that the systems is pumping slowly or not at all, verify that the filter pan screen is on the bottom of the

the
button once to display the temperature and setpoint of the oil as sensed by the temperature probe.
3 Note the temperature on the thermometer or pyrometer. Actual temperature and pyrometer readings should
be within ± 5ºF (3ºC) of each other after allowing the heat to cycle on and off three (3) times. If the temperature is
still out of tolerance, contact a Factory Authorized Servicer for assistance.
6.5 QUARTERLY CHECKS AND SERVICE
6.5.1 Clean the Frypot and Heating Elements
DANGER
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled to the fill line with water or
cooking oil before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will result in irreparable damage to the
elements and may cause a fire.
6.5.2 Replace the O-rings
Refer to McDonald’s MRC cards for specific details on replacing the O-rings on the filter connection.
6–2
Page 68
6.5.3 Deep Clean (Boiling Out) the Frypot
After the fryer has been in use for a period of time, a hard film of caramelized cooking oil will form on the inside of
the frypot. This film should be periodically removed by following the deep-clean (boil-out) procedure contained in
Kay Chemical “Fryer Deep Clean Procedure” instructions. Refer to pages 5-15 through 5-20 for specific details on setting up the controller for deep clean (boil-out) operation.
DANGER
Allow oil to cool to 100ºF (38ºC) or lower before draining to an appropriate container for disposal.
WARNING
Never leave the fryer unattended during this process. If the solution overflows, press the ON/OFF switch to
the OFF position immediately.
DANGER
Ensure that the frypot is completely free of water before filling with oil. When the oil is heated to cooking
temperature, water in the frypot will cause splattering.
6.5.4 Pre-filter Maintenance
The pre-filter requires regular maintenance. Every 90 days, or more
frequently if the flow of oil slows, remove the cap and clean the attached
screen.
1. Wearing protective gloves use the supplied wrench to remove the cap
from the pre-filter (Figure 1).
2. Use a small brush to clear debris from the attached screen (Figure 2).
3. Clean under a water tap and thoroughly dry.
4. Return the cap to the pre-filter housing and tighten.
WARNING
DO NOT remove the pre-filter cap when a filter cycle is under way. DO
NOT operate the filter system with the cap removed. Wear protective
gloves when handling the cap. The metal and the exposed oil are hot.

CHAPTER 7: OPERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING
7.1 Introduction
This section provides an easy reference guide to some of the common problems that may occur during the
operation of this equipment. The troubleshooting guides that follow are intended to help correct, or at least
accurately diagnose, problems with this equipment. Although the chapter covers the most common problems
reported, you may encounter problems that are not covered. In such instances, the Frymaster Technical Services
staff will make every effort to help you identify and resolve the problem.
When troubleshooting a problem, always use a process of elimination starting with the simplest solution and
working through to the most complex. Never overlook the obvious – anyone can forget to plug in a cord or fail to
close a valve completely. Most importantly, always try to establish a clear idea of why a problem has occurred. Part
of any corrective action involves taking steps to ensure that it doesn’t happen again. If a controller malfunctions
because of a poor connection, check all other connections, too. If a fuse continues to blow, find out why. Always
keep in mind that failure of a small component may often be indicative of potential failure or incorrect functioning
of a more important component or system.
Before calling a service agent or the Frymaster HOTLINE (1-800-24-FRYER):
Verify that electrical cords are plugged in and that circuit breakers are on.
Have your fryer’s model and serial numbers ready to give to the technician assisting you.
DANGER
Hot oil will cause severe burns. Never attempt to move this appliance when filled with hot oil or to transfer
hot oil from one container to another.
DANGER
This equipment should be unplugged when servicing, except when electrical circuit tests are required. Use
extreme care when performing such tests.
This appliance may have more than one electrical power supply connection point. Disconnect all power
cords before servicing.
Inspection, testing, and repair of electrical components should be performed by an authorized service agent
only.

APPENDIX A: RTI (BULK OIL) INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: The instructions in this manual for using a bulk oil system for filling and discarding oil are for an RTI
system. These instructions may not be applicable to other bulk oil systems.
C.1.1 Bulk Oil Systems
Bulk oil systems have large oil storage tanks,
typically located in the rear of the restaurant,
that are connected to a rear manifold on the
fryer. Waste oil is pumped from the fryer, via the
fitting located on the bottom, to the disposal
tanks and fresh oil is pumped from the tanks,
thru the fitting located on the top, to the fryer
(see Figure 1). Remove the plate exposing the
RTI connection and connect the RTI connection
to the fryer (see Figure 2).
It is necessary that the fryer system be
completely power cycled after changing oil
system type from JIB to Bulk.
The LOV™ fryers, equipped for use with bulk oil
systems, have an onboard fresh oil jug supplied
by RTI. Remove the cap and insert the standard
fitting into the jug with the metal cap resting on
the lip of the jug. The oil is pumped in and out of
the jug through the same fitting (see Figure 3).

Figure 2
The momentary switch used to reset the top off reservoir low
indicator is also used to fill the jug in an RTI system. After pressing
the button to reset the top off system, pressing and holding the
momentary switch, located above the top off reservoir, allows the
operator to fill the jug from the bulk oil storage tank (see Figure 4).
To fill the jug, press and hold the top off reset button until the jug
is full, then release.*
NOTE: Do NOT overfill the jug.
For instructions on filling the vat
from bulk, see Section 5.3.9.

off reservoir.
Figure 3
* NOTE: It takes approximately twelve seconds from the time the top off reset button is pressed until the RTI pump
starts. It may take up to 20 seconds before the level in the top off reservoir begins to rise. Typically, it
takes approximately three minutes to fill the reservoir. It takes approximately one minute to fill a split vat
and two minutes to fill a full vat.

APPENDIX E: Solid Shortening Melting Unit Use
Reset oil reservoir system
Ensure shortening melting unit is on.
Fill melting unit with shortening.
Allow 2-3 hours for solid shortening to melt. DO
NOT press the orange reset button until the
shortening has had time to melt. The low oil
reservoir light will come on if the fryer calls for oil
before the shortening in the melting unit is liquid.
Once the shortening is fully melted, press and
hold the orange reset button to turn off the light
and reset the top off system.
DO NOT ADD hot oil to the shortening melter. The
temperature of the oil reservoir should not exceed
