CLAMSHELL BASKET LOADING
The procedure outlined below illustrates the loading process
for chicken pieces. Other food products should be loaded in a
similar manner. Note opening in center of shelves which is
accentuated to show importance of not packing products in
too tightly, thus restricting cooking oil flow.
!
CAUTION: To help prevent product from sticking,
before loading on any basket for the first time each day,
using safety gloves, coat a clean basket by dipping in hot
cooking oil.
Load basket shelves from top down, starting at shelf #2, then
#3, etc. (Do not use shelf #1 when cooking products that may
float out of basket. Shelf #1 is basket lid.)
Six head clamshell basket shown loaded with chicken for
pressure frying. Shelf #2 is usually loaded with legs and thighs;
shelf #3 - wings; shelf #4, 5, 6, - thighs, keels and ribs; shelf #7 thighs (Figure 6).
Four head clamshell basket would be loaded similarly to
six head basket using shelves #2 through #5 as shown
(Figure 7).
QUARTER RACK BASKET LOADING
With Quarter Rack Baskets (Figure 8), load pans and slide into
rack.
Chicken should be placed on the rails, hanging over slightly.
Use the curve of the chicken pieces to determine how to lay
chicken on the rack in a manner that will provide as much
space between chicken pieces as possible.
Load from the bottom up and unload from the top down. After
all chicken is placed on the rack, check to make sure pieces are
not touching too much.

Those that apply to PRESSURE fryers only are specied as such.
NOTE: Emptying the collector and filtering may have to be done at some point during the
day, depending upon how many rounds are cooked and how much breading builds up in
the collector. Typically 20 rounds of product may be cooked before having to empty the
collector and filter the cooking oil.
!
DANGER: Drain cooking oil from fryer and then empty collector at
least twice a day. If you don't, cooking oil may boil out of the fryer, burn you,
and make oor slippery.
For All Open and Pressure Fryers
1. Turn Fryer Off. Turn circuit breaker OFF or disconnect electrical power from fryer.
2. Scrape Crust Line from cookpot with spatula and brush heater coils (Figure 15).

PROGRAMMING
Programming Time/Temperature Profiles for the Winston 8000
Series Controller
The 8000 Series Controller has 16 push buttons. The eight
numbered buttons in the top row are called channel buttons. The
lower row of buttons are for programming the control.
Programming allows one of four different processes to be assigned
to each channel. The processes available for the 8000 Series Control
are PC1, PC2, PC5, and PC6.
Process #1 (PC 1) allows assigning up to 6 different temperatures
to a channel. The temperatures can be set to occur at different
times during the cook cycle. For instance, a cooking cycle for a load
of chicken can be set up as shown in the following table using PC
1. In this case the chicken would cook at 350˚F (177˚C) for 1 minute
(from 15:00 down to 14:00), then the temperature setting would
change to 340˚F (171˚C) for the next minute (from 14:00 to 13:00),
and so on.
Process #2 (PC 2) allows assigning up to six different temperatures
and times to a channel just like PC 1. PC 2 also adds the capability for Load Compensation (automatically detects the amount of
product added to the fryer and adjusts the time that the product
cooks so that it is properly done when the cook cycle finishes),
Straight Line Timing (like PC 1), or a combination of the two. PC 2
also allows programming of up to three different audible prealarms (Buzzer) to sound at any time during the cook cycle.
Process #5 (PC 5) allows assigning of one temperature and one
time to a channel. Note: Process #5 may not be available on some
models.
Process #6 (PC 6) allows assigning of two temperatures and two
times to a channel. Note: Process #6 may not be available on some
models.
When programming, the display scrolls through several screens
showing the current settings for the fryer. The first two screens
show the software ID numbers. The third screen displays the
capacity of the fryer expressed in number of chickens it will cook at
one time (4hd or 6hd). The fourth screen indicates whether it is a
pressure or open type fryer. The fifth screen shows the size of the
chicken the fryer is programmed to cook (certain fryer models will
automatically adjust the programmed settings if the chicken size
setting is changed). The sixth screen indicates whether the fryer is
set to display Fahrenheit or Centigrade.
PC 1 - 6 TEMPERATURES, 6 TIMES
(These are example settings only. Temperatures shown in Fahrenheit.)
FIRST TEMPERATURE (H1)350˚FIRST TIME = total cook time (T1), H1 temp starts15:00

By default, the controller opens the vent valve 30 seconds before
the end of a pressure cook cycle. A buzzer will automatically sound
at the end of the cook cycle when the timer reaches :00 (the
display will then show ) indicating it is time to open the lid
(when pressure frying) and remove the cooked product. Cancel the
buzzer sound by pressing the channel button.

FRYERS
Aqualert description: Aqualert is software built into the Collectramatic fryer controls that automatically
detects the presence of water in the cookpot and prevents the fryer from being used. Aqualert is included in
all electronically controlled fryers with Winston-manufactured controls.
Aqualert works by sensing the rate of the rise in temperature of a liquid inside the fryer cookpot. Water heats
up more slowly than cooking oil. When the fryer is heating to cook temperature in the warm-up phase,
Aqualert sensors determine, by the rate the temperature rises in the fryer, whether the liquid is water or
cooking oil. If the temperature doesn’t rise fast enough, Aqualert will think that there is water in the fryer and
the fryer will stop heating. The display will toggle between "H2O" and "ALRT" in newer models, and the Heat
On indicator lamp will not be lit. The fryer will remain in this suspended mode until the temperature of the
liquid in the fryer drops below 180˚F (82˚C), at which point, if you have determined there is no liquid other
than cooking oil in the fryer, you should press the manual reset button to turn the fryer on again. The
Aqualert sensors will once again try to determine if there is a liquid other than cooking oil in the fryer.
INSTRUCTIONS:
!
DANGER: DO NOT use any liquids other than cooking oils in fryer cookpot.
If the fryer is not heating up between the temperatures of 180˚F (82˚C) and 212˚F (100˚C) and the display
toggles between H2O and ALRT, it is locked up due to the Aqualert sensing program.
1. Check to see if there is water or any other liquid in the cookpot other than cooking oil (cooking oil may
be in a solid or liquid state). If any liquid other than cooking oil is present, it must be removed before
operating the fryer.
2. Check the temperature of the cooking oil in the cookpot. If it is between 180˚F (82˚C) and 212˚F (100˚C),
and the display toggles between H2O and ALRT, it is locked up due to the Aqualert sensing program.
3. Stir the oil with the fryer plugging tool until the temperature of the oil drops below 180˚F (82˚C). At this
point, press the manual reset button and the fryer heaters will come back on and the fryer will begin to
heat up to the set Drop temperature. DO NOT STIR THE OIL AGAIN UNTIL THE TEMPERATURE REACHES
THE SET DROP TEMPERATURE.
4. When the set temperature is reached, stir the oil vigorously for at least a full minute until the
temperature of the oil drops well below the set temperature. BE SURE TO STIR DOWN IN THE
COLLECTOR.
!
DANGER: DO NOT stir cooking oil in collector after the first round of cooking each day. Cooking
oil may come up and out of cookpot because of cracklings and product fall-off in the collector.
5. For the first frying of the day, allow fryer to heat back up to set DROP temperature. STIR AND LET
TEMPERATURE RISE BACK TO THE SET DROP TEMPERATURE AT LEAST 3 TIMES.
6.
7. When the collector is hot to the touch, place the Heat Plate in the collector and continue to follow the
!
CAUTION: HOT SURFACES - Carefully feel the bottom, outside surface of the collector. It
should be very hot to the touch. If it is not, continue to follow the stirring instructions in steps 5 and 6
above.
