3.1Equipment Setup and Shutdown Procedures

Setup

DANGER

Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled to the fill line with water or oil before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will result in irreparable damage to the elements and may cause a fire.

DANGER

Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with oil. Failure to do so will cause spattering of hot liquid when the oil is heated to cooking temperature.

WARNING

The OCF30™ with the automatic top off is NOT intended to use solid shortening. Use only liquid shortening with this fryer. The use of solid shortening will clog the oil lines. The cooking oil capacity of the OCF30™ Series electric fryer is 31 lbs. (3.7 gallons/14 liters) at 70°F (21°C).

DANGER

When using solid shortening, pack the shortening down into the bottom of the frypot. DO NOT operate the fryer with a solid block of shortening sitting in the upper portion of the frypot. This will cause damage to the frypot and may cause a flash fire.

Prior to filling frypots with oil ensure all drains are closed.

1.Fill the frypot with cooking oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot. This will allow for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill cold oil any higher than the bottom line; overflow may occur as heat expands the oil.

2.Ensure that the power cord(s) is/are plugged into the appropriate receptacle(s). Verify that the face of the plug is flush with the outlet plate, with no portion of the prongs visible.

3.Ensure that the power is switched on. Some models are equipped with a master switch located behind the fryer door cabinet on the front panel of the component box, next to the fuse. OFF is displayed on the controller.

4.Ensure that the controller is switched ON. When the controller is switched on, the fryer will begin heating and will display MLT-CYCLalternating with the temperature and setpoint until the fryer temperature reaches 180°F (82°C). On CM 3.5 equipped fryers the display changes to LOW TEMP until within 15°F of the setpoint. Then the display changes to product or dashed lines. On the 3000, once the fryer reaches setpoint, the controller display changes to DROP and the fryer is ready for use. To exit the melt cycle on the 3000, press the EXIT COOL button. Answer YES to EXIT MELT?

5.Ensure that the oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the oil is at its cooking temperature.

Shutdown

1.Filter the oil and clean the fryers (See Chapters 5 and 6). If using a CM3.5 reverse steps 1 and 2.

2.Turn the fryer off.

3.Place the frypot covers on the frypots.

3.2 Operation

This fryer is equipped with either 3000 or CM3.5 controllers (illustrated on the following page). Fryers with 3000 controllers should refer to the 3000 Controller Manual 819-6872for the controller programming and operating procedure. For CM3.5 controllers refer to the separate Frymaster Fryer Controllers User’s Manual furnished with your fryer for the specific controller operating instructions.
