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 shorten ing 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 (15-20 minutes),
manually reset by pressing the red reset button. The red reset
button is located under the control panel, in the front of the
fryer. Once reset, the frypot starts heating.
Before replacing a high temperature limit control, check to see
that its circuit is closed.
Checkout
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 two nuts securing high limit bracket to the unit,
and pull the bracket from the unit.
4. Remove the two screws securing the high limit to 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.)

not interfere with the carrier or get damages when clean ing the frypot.
12. With excess capillary line pulled out, tighten smaller nut.
13. Replace front panel.
14. Ref ll with shortening.
2-5. 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. With the switch in the PUMP position, the
f lter pump operates, but the unit will not heat.
To avoid electrical shock or property damage, move the
power switch to OFF and disconnect main circuit
breaker, or unplug cord at wall receptacle.
Checkout

2-8. PRESSURE REGULATION The Henny Penny Fryer uses pressure as one of the compo-
nents 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 proce dures, 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 splitting and tears - replace if neces
sary.
• 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.
2-9. TILTING THE LID The lid assembly is easily tilted up for cleaning or servicing.
UPRIGHT
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 the lid upright, or severe
injuries could result. (See photo at left.)

2-10. REVERSING THE LID The gray rubber gasket surrounding the inside of the lid is
GASKET designed to be reversed.
Because of heat expansion and the pressure used for the cook
ing process, the gasket is constantly under extreme stress.
Reversing the lid gasket will help to ensure 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 the lid upright, or severe
injuries could result. (See photo on page 2-7.)
3. Clean the gasket and gasket seat with hot water.
4. Rotate the gasket with the opposite side facing out.
Install the four corners of the lid gasket. Smooth the gasket
into place, working from the corners towards the middle of
each side.

2-11. LID COUNTERWEIGHT
CABLES
The Lid Counterweight in the back of the fryer balances the
weight of the lid system to allow easier opening and closing of
the lid. The weight has two cables attached to it, and weighs
about 150 lbs. (67.5 Kg).
1. Using a 3/8” socket, remove the nuts securing the rear
shroud of the fryer and remove the shroud.
2. Using Phillip’s-head screwdriver, remove screws securing
the top cap and remove cap.
3. Raise the lid.
4. Unscrew the broken cable from the weight assembly and
bracket attached to the fryer, and remove broken cable.
5. Screw a 5/16” nut on each end of the new cable.
6. Using a wrench, screw the new cable into the weight
assembly until tight.
7. Using a 1/2” wrench, tighten nut (already threaded on the
cable) against the weight assembly, securing the cable into
weight assembly.
8. Pull the cable over the pulley and down behind the weight
assembly .
9. Insert the cable into the hole in bracket and screw a 5/16”
nut onto end of the cable. Tighten cable, by screwing
the cable through this nut until the weight assembly
becomes level.
The safety cable should now have slack in it with the
weight assembly level.
10. Tighten the nut against the top of the bracket, securing the
cable.
11. Replace top cap and rear shroud; repair is now complete.

against to seal the lid.
1. Raise the lid.
2. Remove the four screws securing the lid cover and remove
cover.
3. Push the lid cam back, off the pressure pads.
4. Using an Allen wrench, remove the large bolt securing pad.
5. Using a Phillips head screw driver, remove the small screw
securing the pad and remove the broken pad.
If the pressure pad is worn, but not broken, it can be
reversed 180 degrees, and the other end of the pad used.
6. Install new pad in reverse order.

2-13. LID ADJUSTMENT If steam leaks out from around the lid gasket, the pressure pads
could be worn or broken. If the pressure pad is worn, but not
broken, it can be reversed 180 degrees, and the other end of the
pad used. See Section 2-12.
If steam leaks, check for:
• Pressure pad wear
• Cracked or worn gasket
• Gasket installed improperly
• Fryer operating above 12 psi (827 mbar)
Fryer should be operating at 12 psi (827 mbar), or
serious burns could result.
2-14. CLEAN THE NYLATRONS 1. Spray Henny Penny biodegradable, food safe, foaming
degreaser (part no. 12226) on Nylatrons.
2. Raise lid up and down several times to spread degreaser.
3. Wipe Nylatrons to remove food soil, grease, and degreaser
residue.

2-15. SOLENOID VALVE This is an electromechanical 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 gas fryer uses a
120 volt, 60 Hz coil (208/240 volt, 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
208/240 Volt, 50 Hertz 230 Ohms
120 Volt, 60 Hertz 50 Ohms
Replacement
1. Remove the right side panel.
2. Remove the Tru-Arc retaining clip on top of coil housing.
3. Remove the cover.
4. If only the coil is to be replaced, disconnect the two coil
wires at the wire nuts in the coil housing. Remove the coil,
insert new coil, and connect the wires at the wire nuts.
Assemble in reverse order of disassembly.
The wires may be connected in any order.
