SECTION 1. TROUBLESHOOTING
1-1. INTRODUCTION This section provides troubleshooting information in the form
of an easy to read table.
If a problem occurs during the first operation of a new fryer,
recheck the installation per the Installation Section of this
manual.
Before troubleshooting, always recheck the operation procedures per Section 3 of this manual.
1-2. SAFETY
Where information is of particular importance or safety related,
the words DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTICE are
used. Their usage is described below .
SAFETY ALER T SYMBOL is used with DANGER,
W ARNING, or CAUTION which indicates a personal injury
type hazard.
NOTICE is used to highlight especially important information.
CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates
a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in pr operty damage.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury.
W ARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury .
DANGER INDICA TES AN IMMINENTL Y
HAZARDOUS SITUA TION WHICH, IF NOT
AVOIDED, WILL RESULT IN DEA TH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.

SECTION 2. MAINTENANCE
Model 291
2-1. INTRODUCTION
2-2. MAINTENANCE HINTS
This section provides checkout and replacement procedures, for
various parts of the fryer . Before replacing any parts, refer to the
Troubleshooting Section to aid you in finding the cause of the
malfunction.
1. A multimeter will help you to check the electric components.
2. When the manual refers to the circuit being closed, the
multimeter should read zero unless otherwise noted.
3. When the manual refers to the circuit being open, the multimeter
should read infinity .
Do not move the fryer with hot shortening in the frypot or
filter pan. Severe burns can result from splashing hot
shortening.
4. Remove weights from the frame to easily access rear of fryer .
2-3. PREVENTIVE
MAINTENANCE
T o ensure a long life of the fryers and their components, regular
maintenance should be performed. Refer to the chart below .
Frequency Action
T wice Daily Filter Shortening (See Filtering
Instructions Section in Operator’s
Manual)
Annually Lubricate Lid Rollers in back of fryer.
(See Lubricating Lid Rollers Section)

Model 291
2-4. HIGH TEMPERATURE
LIMIT CONTROL
This high temperature control is a safety , manual reset control,
which senses the temperature of the shortening. If the shortening
temperature exceeds 425°F (218°C), this switch opens and shuts
off the heat to the frypot. When the temperature of the shortening
drops to a safe operation limit, manually reset by pressing the red
reset button. The red reset button is located under the control
panel, in the front of the fryer, to the right of the drain. Once reset,
the frypot starts heating.
Checkout
Before replacing a high temperature limit control, check to see
that its circuit is closed.
The shortening temperature must be below 380°F (193°C) to
accurately perform this check.
1. Remove electrical power supplied to the fryer .
T o avoid electrical shock or pr operty damage, move the
power switch to OFF and disconnect main circuit
breaker , or unplug cord at wall receptacle.
2. Remove the control panel.
3. Remove the two nuts securing the high limit bracket to the unit,
and pull the bracket from the unit.
4. Remove the two screws securing the high limit to the bracket,
and remove the high limit from the bracket.
5. Remove the two electrical wires from the high temperature
limit control.
6. Manually reset the control, then check for continuity between
the two terminals after resetting the control. If the circuit is
open, replace the control, then continue with this procedure. (If
the circuit is closed, the high limit is not defective. Reconnect
the two electrical wires.)

2-4. HIGH TEMPERATURE
LIMIT CONTROL
(Continued)
Model 291
T o avoid electrical shock of property damage, move the
power switch to OFF and disconnect main circuit
breaker , or unplug cord at wall receptacle.
Replacement
1. If the tube is broken or cracked, the control will open,
shutting off electrical power . The control cannot be reset.
2. Drain shortening from the frypot and discard. A substance
in the tube could contaminate the shortening.
3. Remove control panel.
4. Loosen small inside screw nut on capillary tube.
5. Remove capillary bulb from bulb holder inside the frypot.
6. Straighten the capillary tube.
7. Remove larger outside nut that threads into pot wall, and
remove defective control from control panel area.
8. Insert new control and replace screws.
9. Uncoil capillary line, starting at capillary tube, and insert
through frypot wall.
T o avoid electrical shock or other injury , run the capillary
line under and away from all electrical power wires and
terminals. The tube must
never be in such a position
where it could accidentally touch the electrical power
terminals.
10. Carefully bend the capillary tube as shown in photo and place
into bulb brackets.

2-5. FUSE HOLDERS
11. Pull excess capillary line from pot and tighten nut into frypot wall.
Be sure capillary bulb of high limit is positioned so it doesn’t
interfere with the carrier or get damaged when cleaning the
frypot.
12. With excess capillary line pulled out, tighten smaller nut.
13. Replace front panel.
14. Refill with shortening.
There are two fuse holders on each model of the electric fryers. T o
check or change fuse, unscrew black fuse holder cap.
T o avoid electrical shock or pr operty damage, move the
power switch to OFF and disconnect main circuit
breaker , or unplug cord at wall receptacle.
Checking Procedure for Fuse Holders
CONTROL PANEL FUSES 3 Phase
Remove the control panel and pull the wires from the fuse holder
terminals. Using a multimeter or continuity light, check across the
terminals. The circuit should be closed. If not, replace the fuse
(HP# EF02-007) or fuse holder (HP# EF02-006).

Model 291
2-6. POWER/PUMP SWITCH
The POWER/PUMP switch is a three way rocker switch with a
center OFF position. With the switch in the POWER position the
fryer operates. W ith the switch in the PUMP position the filter pump
operates, but the unit will not heat.
T o avoid electrical shock or pr operty damage, move the
power switch to OFF and disconnect main circuit
breaker , or unplug cord at wall receptacle.
Checkout
1. Remove control panel.
2. Label and remove wires from the switch.
3. OFF position-should be open circuit anywhere on the switch.
4. Power position. Check from: #5 to #6 closed circuit
#l to #2 closed circuit
5. Pump position. Check from: #4 to #5 closed circuit
#3 to #2 closed circuit
Check across the jumpers on the wires of the POWER/PUMP
switch. These jumpers have resistors and capacitors which
may be faulty .
Replacement
1. With control panel removed, and wires of f of the switch,
push in on tabs on the switch to remove from the panel.
2. Replace with new switch, and reconnect wires to switch
following the wiring diagram.
3. Replace the control panel.
