Safety

The major safety concern associated with the Ultrafryer Gas Fryer is burns from hot shortening. In order
to prevent serious burns, good housekeeping habits are required. The oor in front of the fryer and the area
around the fryer should be kept clean and dry. Whenever anything is placed into a fryer vat, care should
be used not to splash the hot shortening. Product should always be “PLACED” into the shortening, NOT
THROWN. Safety goggles, neoprene insulated gloves and an apron must be worn while ltering or boiling­out a fryer vat.

Electrical controls on all Ultrafryer Fryers operate on 120 volts single phase electrical power. No adjustments
or replacement of electrical controls should ever be attempted without rst disconnecting electrical power.
The fryer should never be operated with wet hands or while standing in water. To do so can result in serious
electrical shock or death.

Automatic Safety Features

This fryer is equipped with the following Automatic Safety Features:

1. High limit thermostat to shut off gas to the main burners by opening a solenoid-actuated safety valve in
the combination gas control valve if shortening temperature exceeds 400°F (204°C).

2. Combination gas control valve which includes a built-in pressure regulator and manual valve.

3. Sensor circuit within the spark ignitor module to turn gas to the fryer OFF if a burner ameout occurs.

4. A Drain Valve Safety Switch and a Default-to-Off circuit in the Default-to-Manual-Restart (DTMR)
Control that will disable the fryer each time the drain valve is opened.

5. PAR-2-FL Fryers have a centrifugal switch whereas PAR-3-FL fryers have an air pressure switch to
open the electrical circuit to the spark ignitor and gas valve, which will turn the gas to the fryer OFF in
the event the blower fails.

Optional Accessories

This gas fryer may also be equipped with an Automatic Basket Lift System. If equipped, please refer to either one
of the following:

• UFS Manual P/N 30A081, SKF Motion Technologies, Inc. Automatic Basket Lift Operating Instructions, or

• UFS Manual P/N 30A155, UFS Automatic Basket Lift Operating Instructions.

The applicable manual will be included with the fryer.

Note: The procedures contained herein are applicable to the default-to-manual restart (DTMR) controller. If
a fryer is equipped with an optional cook computer, its manual will be included with the fryer. The following
list describes the optional cook computers and their applicable manuals:

Ultrastat 25 Cooking Computer (refer to Manual P/N 30A051)

Ultrastat 21 Cooking Computer (refer to Manual P/N 30A009)

Ultrastat 11 Cooking Computer (refer to Manual P/N 30A053)

Preventive Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Preventive Maintenance

Minimal maintenance is required on the fryer because of its design and the materials used in the manufacturing
process. However, some preventive maintenance and inspection must be performed periodically to prevent break
downs which could curtail food sales. Any preventive maintenance or inspection should be accomplished with
CAUTION while the fryer is in operation since HOT liquid shortening could cause severe burns. If service or re­pair is required, all gas and electric power MUST BE TURNED OFF PRIOR to performing any service or repair.
The following chart describes the minimum items to be inspected and the inspection interval:

Preventive Maintenance Inspection Schedule

container.

During boil-out of the fryer, inspect the temperature and high limit sensing probes for

any visual damage.

Semiannually

Agitator Bafe A qualied technician or authorized service agent is to remove and inspect the agitator

bafe in each fryer for metal fatigue or weld deterioration every SIX (6) MONTHS.
If no defect is found, reinstall the original bafe.

NOTE: Slight warp or a few broken ns is normal wear. DO NOT REPLACE during semiannual inspection.

Annually

Agitator Bafe A qualied technician or authorized service agent is to install a NEW agitator weld-

ment in each fryer AUTOMATICALLY every TWELVE (12) MONTHS.

Troubleshooting

General

The problems and possible solutions listed in the troubleshooting chart below are typical problems that are fre­quently encountered. ONLY qualied repairmen are to use the troubleshooting chart to repair this fryer. In the
event a main burner malfunction occurs, perform the following checks PRIOR to contacting a repairman:

• Ensure Gas Valves are in their proper positions.

• Check that the fryer electrical plug is connected to an electrical receptacle.

• Ensure the applicable Circuit Breaker is in the ON position and that the fryer ON/OFF switch is in the
ON position.

• Ensure the applicable fryer control has been placed in the FULL ON mode.

• Ensure the gas supply line quick-disconnect coupling is SEATED on the gas manifold tting.

• Determine that the blower is operating.

Basic Troubleshooting Chart

Problem Possible Solution

Main burner will not ignite. 1. Check the Blower Air Pressure Switch by temporarily disconnecting the two

ORANGE air switch wires and connecting them together. If the IGNITOR sparks
when these wires are connected, the air pressure switch is defective and will have
to be replaced.

2. Check the following components and replace if found to be defective:
a. Gas Control Valve
b. High Limit Switch
c. Transformer

The fryer is receiving electri­cal power, but the blower is
not operating.

Excessive time is required to
raise the shortening to cook­ing temperature. Temperature
recovery is slow, and main
burner ames are small and
appear low.

NOTE: If necessary, remove the Pressure Regulator Adjustment Cover and adjust this control to the proper pressure.

(Turn adjusting screw CLOCKWISE to increase gas pressure to the burner and COUNTER CLOCKWISE to decrease

The blower may have overheated and shut off automatically. If this did occur, the
situation will correct itself when the motor cools (10-20min). If overheating problems
persist, replace the blower motor.

1. Ensure that the MANUAL GAS VALVE is completely open.

2. High Limit Switch Check for an obstruction in the gas line.

3. Check for an obstruction in the ue pipe.

4. Check that the ORIFICE PLUG has the correct drill size opening as indicated on
the operational requirements chart.

5. Check for damaged BLOWER ns.

6. Use a standard water-type U gauge Manometer to check the pressure at the gas
control valve pressure tap. Proper gas pressure is indicated on the operational
requirements chart.

1. Ensure the lter pump micro-switch is good, then check the manual reset button on
the lter pump motor.

2. If the lter pump motor fails to operate after the reset button has been depressed,
then the motor needs to be repaired or replaced.

Check for excessive sediment on the lter screen, in the standpipe suction tting, or in
the lter tub.

1. Check for congealed shortening in the shortening system.

2. Check for loose standpipe / suction line coupler connection.
Check for congealed shortening in the pump or in shortening plumbing.
