CHAPTER 1: IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The KFC-1 SMS Cooking Computer is designed to control either single or multiple cooking cycles. The computer has 10 product buttons, which can be individually programmed with up to 10 cooking intervals, three pre-alarms, and straight or flex time for each product. The KFC-1 SMS can track the number of heads cooked by the fryer and calculate recovery time. Also, the KFC-1 SMS can be programmed to calculate recovery time and the number of cook cycles since the last filtering. It is used on Frymaster KJ3FC, KSCF18G, and

the oil management system is optional. All other features of the KFC-1 SMS remain operational with the oil management programming idle.

KSCFH18E open fryers and can be programmed for heat curves for any product. It is designed to operate in both full-pot and split-pot fryers. The KFC-1 SMS also has shortening management programming and an internal real time clock.

If power outages of less than 5 seconds occur, KFC-1 SMS computers will automatically return to current operational status once power is restored. If the computer fails to return to the current operation when power is restored, reset the computer by unplugging the fryer from the power source. The computer should reset when the fryer is plugged back in, and this, many times, eliminates costly, unneeded service calls.
