Model 8000 Computron

1-5. BASIC OPERATIONS These are just basic procedures. Refer to the Operator’s

AND PROCEDURES 500/600/561 manual for more detailed instructions.

1. Be sure the drain valve is in the closed position.

2. Remove fry basket from frypot and leave lid up.

3. Fill the frypot with shortening.

When using new shortening, it is recommended to melt
the shortening on an outside source before placing
shortening in the frypot. Unless elements are
completely covered in shortening, fire or damage to the
frypot could result.

4. Move power switch to the "COOK" position. Unit

automatically goes into the melt cycle. When the

temperature reaches 230°F (110°C) the control goes

into the heat cycle, and heats the shortening until the
temperature setting is reached.

Bypass the melt cycle, if desired, by pressing a Product
button and holding it for five seconds. The display
shows “EXIT MELT? 1=YES 2=NO”. Press
to exit melt.

Do not bypass the melt cycle unless enough shortening
has melted to completely cover all of the heating
elements, or the curved surface of the gas frypot. If melt
cycle is bypassed before these surfaces are covered,
excessive smoking of the shortening or a fire will result.

5. Once out of the Melt cycle, flashes until
5° before setpoint temperature is reached. Then

illuminates and the selected product shows

in the display.

103 1-7

Model 8000 Computron

1-5. BASIC OPERATIONS 6. Completely stir shortening to stabilize the temperature

AND PROCEDURES throughout the frypot.
(Continued)

7. Once the shortening temperature has stabilized at the

setpoint temperature, place the baskets into the

shortening. Then place product into the basket.

Do not overload, or place product with extreme
moisture content into the basket. 18 lbs. (8.2 kgs.)
for the 561 and 12 lbs. (5.4 kgs.) for the 500 and 600,
is the maximum amount of product per frypot.
Failure to follow these directions can result in
shortening overflowing the frypot. Serious burns or
damage to the frypot could result.

8. Lift the basket slightly out of the shortening and shake
basket to separate pieces.

9. Remove basket handle and close lid quickly, latching
the lid.

10. Tighten the lid spindle clockwise, sealing the lid. Align
red knob on the spindle with red knob on the latch.

LATCH THE LID PROPERLY AND ALIGN THE
RED BALLS OR SEVERE BURNS WILL
RESULT.

11. Press to start a cook cycle.
The display counts down the cooking time.

A different product can be selected during the first
minute of cooking, in case the wrong Product Button
was pressed. To check the shortening temperature
press or to stop a cook cycle, press .

1-8 103

Model 8000 Computron

1-5. BASIC OPERATIONS 12. Within a few minutes, the pressure gauge increases to

AND PROCEDURES the OPERATING ZONE. If not, recheck the install-
(Continued) ation and operation procedures in Operator’s Manual.

13. Near the end of the cook cycle the fryer automatically
depressurizes, an alarm sounds and the display flashes
“DONE”. To stop the alarm, press .

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN LID UNTIL THE
PRESSURE DROPS TO ZERO. LID IS LOCKED
WHEN FRYER IS UNDER PRESSURE. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO FORCE THE LID LATCH OR
OPEN THE LID WHILE UNDER PRESSURE.
OPENING THE LID WHEN THE FRYPOT IS
PRESSURIZED ALLOWS HOT SHORTENING
AND STEAM TO ESCAPE FROM THE FRYPOT,
RESULTING IN SEVERE BURNS.

14. After pressure drops to zero, turn the spindle counter­clockwise.

Do not flip or spin the spindle cross arm when opening
the lid because it could damage the acme nut inside the
cross bar.

15. Unlatch and raise the lid quickly to allow most of the
condensation on the lid to drain through the drain
channel and not into the shortening.

Do not let the lid slam up against the backstop
because damage to the hinge could result.

16. Using the detachable handle, lift the basket and inspect
product for doneness. Dump product into holding pan.

17. If a Quality time (hold time) was programmed, the
controller automatically starts the hold timer. The
display alternately shows the product selected and the
quality time remaining in minutes. If a different
product is selected during the hold cycle, the display
only shows the product selected.

103 1-9

Model 8000 Computron

1-5. BASIC OPERATIONS 18. At the end of the Hold mode, a tone sounds, the
AND PROCEDURES display flashes “QUALITY”, and the product it was

(Continued) timing. Press and release .

In the Cook mode, when "FILTER SUGGESTED”,
shows in the display, the operator has the option to

operator continues cooking, a Filter Lockout occurs
within the next cook cycle, or two.

When "FILTER LOCKOUT" , then "YOU *MUST*

FILTER NOW........” shows in the display, is the only

button that functions, until the unit is filtered. Follow the
steps in the 500/600/561 Service manual on filtering.

1-6. CLEAN-OUT MODE The Computron 8000 has a Clean-Out Mode to clean the

frypot upon initial start-up and every change of shortening.

Follow the steps in the 500/600/561 Service manual on
Cleaning the Frypot.

When heating the cleaning solution and vinegar solutions,
turn the Cook/Pump switch to “COOK. ” When the fryer
starts the Melt Cycle, press and hold then

“CLEAN-OUT ?”, “1=YES 2=NO”shows in display. Press

to start Clean-Out mode. The fryer displays

“*CLEAN-OUT MODE*” and heats up to a preprogrammed
temperature, then automatically begins a preset timed
countdown. Use the UP and DOWN buttons, if necessary, to
adjust the temperature and keep the cleaning solution from
boiling over.

See Special Program Modes SP-10 and SP-11
to preset the temperature and time.

1-10 103

1-6. CLEAN-OUT MODE

Continued)

NEVER PRESSURIZE FRYER TO CLEAN. LEAVE
THE LID OPEN. WATER UNDER PRESSURE IS
SUPER HEATED AND CAUSES SEVERE BURNS IF
IT COMES IN CONTACT WITH SKIN.

If the cleaning solution in the frypot starts to foam
and boil over, immediately turn the Cook/Pump
Switch to OFF and do not try to contain it by closing
the fryer lid or severe burns could result.

The type of shortening being used in the fryer
determines the amount of heat applied during the
Melt cycle. If the controls are set to the Solid
setting, less heat is applied to the shortening, than if
the controls were set to Liquid. Too much heat
applied to solid shortening causes much smoking,
and could cause a fire. Match this setting to the type
of shortening being used at the time.

When using new shortening, it is recommended to melt
the shortening on an outside source before placing
shortening in the frypot. Unless elements are
completely covered in shortening, fire or damage to the
frypot could result.
