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

Roll the fryer farther away
from the firewall, far enough
to clean behind the fryer.

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.

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.

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.

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

The acceptable recovery time
for electric fryers is less than
100 seconds. The acceptable
recovery time for gas fryers is
less than 145 seconds.
If the recovery time you
wrote down is less than the

side of a split-vat, press and
hold the left cook channel
button marked “2.”
The display will alternate
between “Hi-Limit” and the
current oil temperature until
the oil temperature reaches
425°F (218°C). At that temperature the display should
show “Hi-2.” If it shows “Hi2” at that temperature, the
control has passed the test.
If the display alternates between “Hi-2” and “bad,” the
control has failed the test.
Press the on/off button to
clear the second test and turn
the computer off.

Verify high-limit controls (continued)
Decide what to do if either
7
control failed.
If both controls pass the test,
skip this step.
If the fryer fails the first highlimit control test but passes
the second one, the vat can be
used if that is absolutely necessary. The computer controls
should be replaced as soon as
possible. Use extreme care
when using the vat in this
case.
If the fryer fails the second
high-limit control test, do not
use the vat until the second
(mechanical) high-limit control has been replaced. Call a
service technician immediately.
In the first test, if the heat
indicator light goes out when
the temperature is less than
410°F (210°C), that means
that the high-limit control has
activated at a lower temperature than normal. You do not
need to replace the computer
controls in this case unless
they are interfering with
proper cooking.
In the second test, if the display begins to alternate
between “HI 2” and “bad”
when the temperature is less
than 425°F (218°C), that
means that the high-limit control has activated at a lower
temperature than normal. You
do not need to replace the
high-limit control in this case
unless it is preventing you
from testing the first highlimit control.
Discard oil.

When you have completed
both tests, allow the oil to
cool for one hour. Then discard the oil. Drain the oil into
an oil removal cart. Use Neoprene Gloves
The oil is may be hot.
Verify high-limit controls for all
9
remaining fryers.
Repeat steps 1 through 10 for
all remaining fryers.

Procedure
QUALIFIED TECHNICIANS ONLY
Check regulated gas pressure.
1
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.
Clean and Replace gas valve vent tube.
2
Clean and replace the gas valve vent tube. Follow the
cleaning procedure in the service manual.
5
Check combustion.
If the fryer’s recovery time is less than 145 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.

Check fryer recovery time.
4
Choose a vat on the fryer. Check the fryer’s most recent recovery time for that vat, using the procedure in
FR2 M1. The most recent recovery time should be less
than 145 seconds.
If the fryer’s recovery time is less than 145 seconds,
the procedure is complete for this vat. Go to step 7.

Adjust combustion air blower, if necessary.
6
If the fryer’s recovery time is less than 145 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.
Scratch calibrate remaining fryers.

Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each remaining vat and
