CHAPTER 6: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

6.6 Testing Dual Hi-Limit Controls

Note: Perform this test before replacing old shortening. This high temperature test will greatly

reduce life of new shortening. Start test with the fryer turned ON and with the oil at normal
frying temperature. Stir the oil thoroughly to ensure even distribution and temperature and
place a pyrometer sensing probe in center of frypot about one-inch deep. When verifying oil
temperature, use a pyrometer indicating 0-6000F and a pryometer sensor probe. A high
temperature thermometer may be used instead of a pyrometer.

CAUTION

If the result listed for each step does not occur, turn off fryer at the main circuit breaker panel and do

not use the fryer. Call service agency.

To test the high limit thermostats, proceed as follows:

STEP 1: Press the hi-limit test switch to the 1st hi-limit switch and hold in that position until the

trouble light comes on. The trouble light should come in between 4100F + or - 30F, and
the heating elements must shut off. The HEAT light goes out and the TROUBLE light
comes on. Release the test switch.

STEP 2: Press the hi-limit test switch to the 2nd hi-limit position and hold in that position until the

2nd hi-limit light comes on. It should illuminate between 430°F and 460°F, and the heating
elements must shut off. Release the test switch. All fryers connected to the external shunt
power supply will be shut off completely and all control panel lights will be extinguished.
For fryers not connected to an external shunt power supply, the 2nd hi-limit light will come
on and the fryer will shut off.

STEP 3: Turn power switch to the OFF position.

STEP 3: Allow the cooking oil to cool to below normal frying temperature. When the power switch

is again turned ON, the heaters will turn on and the operating thermostat will resume
control of the temperature. If the red trouble light remains on instead, allow the oil
additional time to cool.

6-4

CHAPTER 7: DRAINING AND MANUAL FILTERING

WARNING

Use care when draining and filtering cooking oil/shortening to avoid serious burns.

7.1 Filtering

If you are using a filter other than a FRYMASTER built-in filter system, consult the filter unit
manufacturer’s operating instructions for the recommended procedures. Instructions for using the
FRYMASTER Footprint systems are included in Chapter 16 of this manual.

7.1.a Manual Filtering

The following procedure is recommended to drain and filter your cooking oil/shortening when a filter
machine is not available:

1. Turn the fryer controller power switch to the OFF position. Screw the drain extension pipe

(provided with the fryer) tightly into the drain valve. Make sure the curved end of the tube is
pointing down.

2. Position a metal container with sealable cover under the drain pipe. The metal container must be

able to withstand the hot cooking oil and other hot liquids and be of sufficient capacity to hold
the contents of the frypot. Frymaster recommends that a Frymaster filter cone holder and filter
cone be used when a filter machine is not available. If you are using the Frymaster filter cone
holder and cone, be sure the filter holder rests firmly on the metal container.

3. Open the drain valve slowly to avoid splattering. If splattering occurs, exercise extreme caution.

4. If the drain valve becomes clogged with food particles, use the Fryer’s Friend (poker-like tool).

Use this tool from inside of the frypot ONLY. Grip the tool on the handle as far as possible
from the hot shortening in the frypot. DO NOT HAMMER ON THE DRAIN VALVE, as this
will damage the drain valve ball.

WARNING

Never run water through built-in filtration system.

DANGER

Do not insert the tool into the front of the drain valve to unclog the valve. Hot oil will rush out,

creating an extreme burn hazard!

CAUTION

Allow the shortening to cool to 100°F (38°) or lower before transporting the container and removing

the drain pipe. Exposure to oil at temperatures above 140°F (60°C) can result in severe burns.

5. After draining the oil/shortening, clean all food particles and residual oil/shortening from the

frypot before refilling.

6. Close the drain valve and refill the frypot with clean (or filtered) oil/shortening.

1. Insert a good grade thermometer or pyrometer probe into the cooking oil/shortening near the fryer

temperature-sensing probe.

2. Turn thermostat knob to frying temperature.

3. Let elements cycle on and off automatically three times to allow the cooking oil temperature to be

uniform.

4. When the elements start for the fourth time, the pyrometer reading should be within 5°F (2°C) of

the thermostat knob setting. If it is not, calibrate as follows:
a. Loosen set screw in thermostat control knob until outer shell of knob will rotate on insert inside

knob.

b. Rotate outer shell of knob until index line on knob aligns with marking that corresponds to

thermometer or pyrometer reading.

c. Hold knob and tighten set screw.
