5.Fig. 5 High-Limit Probe The High-Limit Probe senses oil temperature during

fryer operation for oil overheating. If the sensor detects an oil temperature in excess of 424°F (218°C), the solid state control system will turn off power to the Heating Elements.

6.Fig. 5 Oil Level Line The Oil Level Line marks the proper level of HOT

shortening. When COLD, the shortening will be approximately 3⁄4" (1.9cm) below the Oil Level Line.

The proper shortening level is important and should be checked a minimum of once per day.

Testing the Fryer

4 T esting the Fryer

We at Chester Fried take pride in the quality of out workmanship. Every effort has been made to ensure your unit is in good operating condition when you receive it. Each unit must pass a rigorous quality control test prior to shipment. To further ensure optimum operation of your new unit we recommend a brief operational check-out of your new fryer .

CAUTION Before attempting to operate the unit, refer to Section 3 to familiarize yourself with the

various control functions. Once you have read and fully understand Section 3, please follow the steps below precisely in order to prevent equipment damage or malfunction.

4 - 1 Proper Control Settings for Check-Out

1. Place all switches in the “OFF” position.

2. Remove Fryer lid.

3. Remove the baskets or other accessory items from the fry-kettle.

4. Turn on the circuit breaker which supplies power to the unit.

5. Place the fryer’ s main Power Switch to “ON”. The green power light should be illuminated. If the power light fails to illuminate, refer to the appropriate section of the troubleshooting guide. If the green power light illuminates, proceed to the next step.

4 - 2 Operational Check of Heating Elements

This step is designed to ensure your fryer’ s Heating Elements are functioning.

WARNING DO NOT touch the Heating Elements during this portion of the check-out. The Heating

Elements are very hot and skin contact with them may result in severe burns.

1. Wipe the dry cool Heating Elements with a wet sponge.

CAUTION This portion of the check-out requires the elements be activated. DO NOT operate the

elements for more than 10 seconds without them being fully covered by shortening. Failure to observe this precaution may result in damage to the Heating Elements.

Testing the Fryer

2. With the fryer’ s lid removed, briefly turn the Selector Switch to the “COOK” position (max. 10 sec.). Then return it to the “OFF” position.

3. The wet Heating Elements should dry within 15 seconds after fryer element shut-off signifying heat.

4. If the Heating Elements do not appear operational, refer to the Troubleshooting guide.

5. If the Heating Elements are operational, clean the fryer as described under instructions for the BoilOut procedure described in this manual in Section 5-1.

6. After thorough cleaning, fill fry pot to proper level with shortening.

4 - 3 Operational Check-Out of the Filter Pump

1. Open the fryer’ s front door.

2. Disconnect the Filter-Pan Hose by lifting the insulating ring on the Quick-Disconnect and pull the hose out of this fitting

CAUTION The following step requires starting of the fryer’s filter pump in a “DRY” condition. The

pump should only be operated for a few seconds in this manner or damage to the unit will occur.

3. Place the fryer’ s Power Switch to the “ON” position.

4. Place your palm over the Quick-Disconnect at the point where the hose from the filter-pan connects.

5. Briefly place the Selector Switch in the “FIL TER” position. If suction is felt on the hand covering the Quick-Disconnect, the pump is operational. If the above steps are followed and no suction is felt, consult the troubleshooting guide.

Preparing the Fryer for Operation

5 Preparing the Fryer for Operation

Your new fryer should be cleaned thoroughly before actual cooking takes place. To accomplish this, follow the procedure described in the following Boil-Out Procedure section.

5 - 1 Fryer Boil-Out Procedure

This section describes the cleaning process for your fryer known as the “Boil-Out”. A “Boil-Out” should be performed on the new equipment prior to actual cooking and every time shortening is removed from the fryer for cleaning of the fry-kettle and refill with fresh shortening.

WARNING Please perform the steps of this procedure as described to avoid possible equipment dam

age, violation of warranty provisions or personal injury.

1. Always use thermal oven mitts during this procedure to protect skin from burns due to splashing of hot liquids.

2. If you are performing a “Boil-Out” on a new fryer which DOES NOT contain shortening, go to Step 19, otherwise proceed to Step 3.

3. If the shortening in the fryer is not in a heated state (at least 200°F) (93°C), go to Step 4. If the fryer has been in operation and the shortening is in a heated state, place the Selector Switch in the “OFF” position and allow the shortening to cool for 3 minutes before continuing.

4. If the shortening in the fryer is “cold”, that is at room temperature, you must first heat the shortening briefly so it is liquid enough to be removed by the fryer’ s filter system. To do this, turn the main Power Switch to “ON” and the Selector Switch to “COOK.” Set the Controller temp. to 200°F (93°C) and heat the oil until the orange heat indicator light goes off. Stir the shortening well to ensure it is fully dissolved. Stirring may cause the orange heat light to come on again briefly. When the orange light goes off again, place the Selector Switch in the “OFF” position and go to Step 5.

5. Ensure the Selector Switch is in the “OFF position before proceeding.

WARNING The next step of this procedure requires the shortening be drained from the fry-kettle into

the fryer’s Filter Pan. Failure to ensure that the fryer’ s Selector Switch is in the “OFF” position prior to draining may result in fire on the exposed Heating Elements. Always ensure the Selector Switch is in the proper position

6. Slowly open the T-Handle located on the drain beneath the fry-kettle. The drain is opened by turning it counter-clockwise. Use care in opening this valve to avoid being splashed by hot oil. (You may find the drain requires insertion of the smaller brush enclosed with the fryer in order to free the valve of breading which may clog it. The brush should be inserted from above. Be careful not to puncture the filter paper when using this brush.)
