3-1 1 Digital Display Shows the shortening temperature, the timer countdown in
the Cook Cycle, and the selections in the Program Mode; the
temperature of the shortening can be shown by pressing
once, or twice to view set-point temperature;
if shortening temperature exceeds 425°F (218°C), the display
reads “E-5, FRYER TOO HOT”

3-1 2 This LED lights when the shortening temperature is within 5°
of the setpoint temperature, signaling the operator that the

dropping product into the frypot

3-1 3 The timer buttons are used to start and stop Cook Cycles

3-1 4 The idle buttons are used to start an Idle Mode which reduces
the temperature of the shortening during non-use periods;
press and hold to exit the Idle Mode

3-1 5 The program button is used to access the Program Modes;
also, once in the Program Mode, it is used to advance to the
next parameter

3-1 6 & 7 Used to adjust the value of the currently displayed setting
in the Program Mode and to change set-point temperature for
the left frypot, or basket

in the Program Mode and to change set-point temperature for
the right frypot, or basket

No. No.

3-2 1 This LED lights when the control calls for heat,
and the burners come on and heat the shortening

3-2 2 Digital Display Shows the shortening temperature, the timer countdown in
the Cook Cycle, and the selections in the Program Mode;
press the INFO button to display the temperature of the
shortening; if the temperature exceeds 425°F (218°C), the
display reads "E-5", “FRYER TOO HOT”

3-2 3 Once the fryer is out of the Melt Mode, this LED
lights, signaling the operator that the shortening temperature
is not at the proper temperature for cooking product

3-2 4 This LED lights when the shortening temperature is within 5°
of the setpoint temperature, signaling the operator that the
shortening temperature is at the proper temperature for
cooking product

3-2 5 Used to display the current shortening temperature, the
setpoint temperature, as well as cooking performance, and
other information such as, filter use, time of day, etc; in the
Program Mode, it steps back to the previous parameter

out of the shortening if unit is equipped with auto-lift; if
pressed during a Cook Cycle, the cooking time is paused
until the basket (or baskets) are lowered back into the
shortening; on units not equipped with auto-lift, these buttons

3-3. FILLING OR
ADDING SHORTENING

The shortening level must always be above the heating
elements when the fryer is heating and at the frypot
level indicators on the rear of the frypot. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in a fire and/or
damage to the fryer.

When using solid shortening, it is recommended to melt
the shortening on an outside heating source before
placing it in the frypots. The heating elements or
burner tubes must be completely submerged in
shortening. Fire or damage to the frypot could
result.

1. It is recommended that a high quality frying shortening

be used in the open fryer. Some low grade shortenings
have a high moisture content and will cause foaming
and boiling over.

Wear gloves to avoid severe burns when pouring hot

shortening into frypot. Shortening and all metal
parts that are in contact with the shortening are
extremely hot, and take care to avoid splashing.

Figure 3-3

2. The gas open fryers require 90 lbs. (41 kg) of
shortening per frypot, and the electric 80 lbs. (36 kg)
per frypot. All frypots have 2 level indicator lines
inscribed on the rear wall of the frypot. The top
indicator shows the proper level of heated shortening;
the bottom indicator shows the proper level of cold
shortening. (See Figure 3-3)

So the faucet doesn’t interfere with operating, filtering
and cleaning procedures, swivel the faucet to either
frypot and push it into the area above the elements, as
shown in Figure 3-4 at left.

3-4. C1000 OPERATIONS

electronic controls frypot and full frypot fryers. The following is a

AND PROCEDURES

brief description of the operating procedures for fryers with these
controls.

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

2. Place basket support inside of frypot.

3. Make sure frypot is filled with shortening to the proper
level.

4. Display shows “OFF” until power switch is turned to the ON
position. Display now shows the cook time and the unit
automatically goes into the Melt Cycle until the

shortening temperature reaches 230°F (110°C). The
control then automatically exits the Melt Cycle.

The OFG-320 series open fryer has several safety devices
which shuts-down the gas supply when they are activated.
The above procedures should be followed to restart the open
fryer and if the shut down is repeated, a qualified technician
should be notified.

The Melt Cycle may be bypassed, if desired, by pressing
and holding for 3 seconds.

Do not bypass the Melt Cycle unless enough shortening

on gas fryers and elements on electric fryers. If Melt
Cycle is bypassed before all burner tubes or elements
are covered, excessive smoking of the shortening, or a
fire will result.

5. Once out of the Melt Cycle, the shortening is heated

until lights and the cook time is displayed.

Thoroughly stir shortening to stabilize the temperature
throughout the frypots.

6. Before loading product into the baskets, lower baskets
into the hot shortening to keep the product from

sticking to the baskets.

7. Once the shortening temperature has stabilized at the
setpoint temperature, lower the basket with product into
the frypot.
