Procedure

Frymaster Fryer All models using an M2000 Computer

1Turn fryer off.

Press the on/off button to turn the fryer off. The display will show “OFF.”

2Check most recent recovery time.

The fryer automatically re- cords the fryer’s recovery time each time the vat tem- perature rises from 250°F (121°C) to 320°F (160°C).

Press the button marked with a checkmark to enter the fryer’s programming mode. The left display will show “Code.”

Press the buttons marked “1, 6, 5, 2” in that order to enter code 1652. The display will show the most recent recov- ery time in both displays.

Write down the recovery time.

3Compare most recent recovery time to acceptable recovery time.

The acceptable recovery time for electric fryers is less than 100 seconds. The acceptable recovery time for gas fryers is less than 145 seconds.

If the recovery time you wrote down is less than the fryer’s acceptable recovery time, the fryer’s performance is acceptable. Skip to step 5.

If the time you wrote down is more than the fryer’s accept- able recovery time, the fryer’s performance is not accept- able. Go to the next step.
