1.7 Perform a Boil Out operation:
Normal maintenance of a fryer requires regular tank cleaning. This process involves draining the
vat of oil and filling with water. Cleaning solution is added, and the control is set to boil by one of
the following methods:
1.7.1 Automatic Boil Entry (Water Detection):
Fill the appliance with water and turn the appliance on. Heat will be applied to the vat warming
the water. This control will detect the presence of water by temperatures not rising above the
boiling point of water; 212°F (100°C). After a time at this temperature, displays will show
Heat will be disabled until the operator responds to this prompt. Pressing the [10/0] key is a
YES response to the boil prompt. If pressed, display will show . Heat will
maintain vat temperature at 185°F (85°C) for cleaning as long as the control remains on. To
exit boil mode control must be turned off.
Warning: Pressing any other key at the [PRESS 0] [TO BOIL ] prompt is regarded by the
control as a NO response. With this response, the control will apply heat to the vat as if oil
were present in the vat. With water in the vat, a rolling boil will result. This will cause
undesirable foam over condition and, a potential steam burn hazards to operators performing
cleaning operations.
1.7.2 Manual Boil Entry:
After filling an empty vat with water, turn the appliance on. Press the
key and enter key sequence [2], [1], [2]. If control is set to
display in the Celsius scale, press [1], [0], [0] keys to manually enter boil
mode. The display will show to indicate entry into boil
mode.
To exit boil mode, control must be turned off.

the current state of the fryer battery – as outlined by the “Initiate Check List” below. Failure to
properly comply with the check list may result in unsafe or undesirable conditions. Once all
prompts have been affirmed, the selected automated function will begin.
Initiate Check List
“Filter pan in-place and empty?” – check the filter pan and verify it is fully in place and
empty.
o If filter pan is ready, press the YES key and continue.
o If filter pan is not ready, press the NO key, resolve the filter pan condition, and start
over.
“Autofilter now?” – confirm the selection.
o Press the YES key to start.

verify the current state of the battery – as outlined by the “Acknowledge Check List” below. Once
all prompts have been affirmed, the fryer will return its original state (either ON or OFF).
Acknowledge Check List
“Is vat full?” – verify the frypot has reached an appropriate oil level and the filter pan is
completely empty.
o If the filter pan is empty, press the YES key to complete.

o If there is still oil in the filter pan, press the NO key to run the pump for 20
additional seconds. “Is vat full?” will be prompted again when complete.
NOTE: NO may be selected for “Is vat full?” a maximum of three times.
o The fourth time NO is selected, the fryer will turn OFF and display “Possible Filter
Issue - Check and Resolve”. Press product YES key to acknowledge.
2.3.1 Automatic Filtering:
The automated filtering process will open the drain and move oil from the vat to the filter pan,
close the drain, and pump oil back to the vat. This allows for a quick filter by passing oil
through the filter medium once.
With no cook timers running the display will show .
To perform an automatic filter, press the key.
If fryer is a split vat, and will be displayed. To perform a
filtering operation on the Left vat, press product key [1] (YES), or to perform a filtering
operation on the Right vat, press product key [6] (YES).

Follow the “Acknowledge Check List” procedures outlined above.
Display will return to , , or .
2.3.2 Automatic Polishing:
The automated polishing process will open the drain, moving oil from the vat to the filter pan,
and then run the return pump. Oil will cycle through the vat and the filter pan, making multiple
passes through the filter medium. After a set amount of time, the drain will close and oil will be
pumped back to the vat. This allows for a longer filtering process to remove more debris from
the oil – extending oil life and increasing oil quality.
With no cook timers running the display will show .
To perform an automatic polish, press the key.
If fryer is a split vat, and will be displayed. To
perform a filtering operation on the Left vat, press product key [1] (YES), or to perform
a filtering operation on the Right vat, press product key [6] (YES).

Display will return to .
2.3.4 Blocked Drain
During all automatic sequences listed above, the message ALERT – DRAIN CLOSING –
REMOVE TOOLS will appear with an audible alert for 10 seconds prior to the scheduled
closure of the drain. Remove tools, such as a clean-out rod, from the drain. Failure to do so
could cause damage to the equipment.
If a clean-out rod is accidently caught in a closed drain, DO NOT FORCEFULLY PULL OR
OTHERWISE TRY TO REMOVE THE TOOL. The drain will automatically reopen – remove
caught tool at that time. After 10 seconds, the drain will close again and the automatic
sequence will proceed normally. If the drain is unable to close for a second time, it will
automatically reopen again and stop the return pump.
The display will scroll the message CLEAR BLOCKED DRAIN – RETRY?. If there is a tool
still in the drain, remove it and press the YES key to continue. If there is no tool in the drain,
use a clean-out rod to attempt to clear any drain obstruction, remove the clean-out rod, and
press the YES key to continue. Once the drain is detected fully closed, the automatic
sequence will complete normally.
If after 3 retry attempts, or if the NO key is pressed when prompted to retry, the drain will
remain open and the fryer becomes inoperable. The display will show message OFFLINE –
CALL SERVICE – ERR 2002. Call for service to resolve the blocked drain issue. Other fryers
will be able to operate and filter normally.
