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 f nding the cause
of the malfunction.
1. A multimeter will help you to check 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 circuit being open, multimeter
should read inf nity.
Do not move fryer with hot shortening in the frypot or
fi lter pan. Severe burns can result from splashing hot
shortening.
4. Remove weights from frame to easily access rear of fryer.
2-3. PREVENTIVE
MAINTENANCE
To ensure a long life of fryers and their components, regular
maintenance should be performed. Refer to the chart below.
Procedure Frequency
Filtering of shortening See KFC’s Standards Library
Changing of shortening See KFC’s Standards Library
Changing the f lter envelope See KFC’s Standards Library
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.
To avoid electrical shock or property 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 inner heat shield.
4. Remove two nuts securing the high limit bracket to unit,
and pull the bracket from the unit.
5. Remove two screws securing the high limit to the bracket,
and remove the high limit from the bracket.
6. Remove the two electrical wires from the high temperature
limit control.
7. Manually reset control, then check for continuity between
the two terminals after resetting the control. If circuit is
open, replace control, then continue with this procedure. (If
the circuit is closed, high limit is not defective. Reconnect
the two electrical wires.)

The Henny Penny Fryer uses pressure as one of the components of the cooking process. Once the lid is sealed to the
frypot, and the solenoid valve closes, a deadweight valve maintains the correct pressure in the frypot.
The lid has minimal and limited maintenance and repair procedures, which are addressed in the following sections.
The following is a routine maintenance schedule for the Lid:
Every 90 days
• Clean and reverse the lid gasket
Yearly Inspection
• Check Lid Gasket for splits and tears-replace if necessary
• Check Pressure Pads for wear-rotate if necessary
• Check Cam Slide Guides-replace if worn or broken
• Check Lid Rollers-replace if cracked or damaged

2-10. TILTING THE LID
UPRIGHT
2-11. REVERSING THE LID
GASKET
The Lid Assembly is easily tilted up for cleaning or servicing.
1. Raise the lid and remove racks and carrier.
2. Grasping the lid handle, lift the front of the lid up until it
stops in an upright position.
Be sure the metal arm on the left side of the lid is in the
vertical position holding lid upright, or severe injuries
could result. (See photo at left).
The gray rubber gasket surrounding the inside of the lid is designed to be reversed.
Because of heat expansion and the pressure used for cooking
process, gasket is constantly under extreme stress. Reversing
the lid gasket will help to assure that the fryer will not lose
pressure through leakage.
1. Put the lid in the upright position, as previously described.
2. Using a thin blade screwdriver, pry out the gasket at the
corners. Remove the gasket.
Check the gasket for any tears or nicks. If the gasket is
damaged it needs to be replaced.
Be sure the metal arm on the left side of the lid is in the
vertical position holding lid upright, or severe injuries
could result. (See photo in Tilting Lid Upright section)
3. Clean the gasket and gasket seat with hot water.
4. Rotate the gasket with the opposite side facing out.
Install the 4 corners of the lid gasket. Smooth gasket into
place, working from the corners towards the middle of each
side.

2-15. SOLENOID VALVE
This is an electro-mechanical device that causes pressure to be
held in the frypot. The solenoid valve closes at the beginning
of the Cook Cycle and opens automatically at the end of the
Cook Cycle. If this valve should become dirty, or the Tef on
seat nicked, pressure will not build up. The electric fryer uses a
208/240 volt 60 hertz coil (50 hertz internationally).
To avoid electrical shock or property damage, move the
power switch to OFF and disconnect main circuit breaker, or unplug cord at wall receptacle.
Coil Check Procedure
Remove the solenoid wires from the wire nuts which are found
behind the control panel. Check across wires.
RESULTS
208/240 Volt, 60 Hertz 150 Ohms

2-19. CONTACTORS
Primary
Heat
30 31 32
The electric fryer requires two switching contactors: a primary
and a heat contactor. The primary contactor energizes (contacts
close) any time the POWER/PUMP switch is in the POWER
position, and the temperature of the shortening is below 420° F
( 215° C). The high limit cuts power at the primary contactor
if the temperature of the shortening is above 420
The primary contactor supplies power to one side of the heat
contactor.
The heat contactor is controlled by the computer controller.
When the controller calls for heat, the heat contactor applies
power to one side of the heating elements. When the heat contactor and primary contactor are energized (contacts closed) the
electric heating elements heat the shortening.
The photo shows a mercury heat contactor, but CE coun-
tries will have an electromechanical heat contactor.
