Function
The Power Switch is a two-position Switch. Move the switch
upward to the “ON” position for operation.
The Selector Switch is a three-position switch which is used to
select either the “COOK”, “OFF” or “FILTER” mode of operation.
The fryer‘s heating elements will only operate in the “COOK”
position. The switch should be placed in the “FILTER” position to
filter the shortening which will allow the pump to operate.
The Electronic Controller is used for setting cooking temperatures
and times.
The High-Limit Indicator Light is illuminated as a result of power
being shut off to the fryer’s heating elements by the built-in solidstate control circuit as a safeguard against overheating. Should
this light come on during operation, refer to the Troubleshooting
Section 7 of this manual. NEVER COOK IN A FRYER WHEN THE
HIGH-LIMIT LIGHT IS ON!
The Orange Heat Indicator Light will be on when the fryer’s heating elements are operating. When the selected operating temperature is reached, the light will go off.

The Green Power Light is on whenever the fryer’s Master Power
Switch is in the ON position.
The “ON” Indicator Light is on when the Electronic Air Cleaner
(EAC) power supply is on.
The “Wash“ Indicator Light is on when the EAC becomes excessively dirty. Do not use the wash light as a signal for routine
cleaning of the EAC, doing so will significantly decrease the life of
the charcoal filter. Clean the EAC daily for best performance and
extended charcoal filter life.
The “Check” Indicator Light is on when the EAC becomes shorted. (EAC needs cleaning or repair).
Pull this handle if an accidental fire should occur in the cooking
vat. This will actuate the fire suppression system.
After the Power Switch is in the “ON” position, push and hold
down “PUSH to START” Button for 5 seconds. (Used only in units
with ILS (Interlocking Start)).
