Controller Operating Instructions

The controller has three error display messages:

, indicating a heating problem or drain valve problem. Turn the fryer off reset the drain handle and try again. If the error still appears, call the Frymaster hotline.

and actual frypot temperature, indicating that the shortening temperature is above 411°F (210°C). If this display is seen, turn the fryer off immediately and contact an authorized service center.

, indicating that the controller has detected a problem in the temperature measuring circuits and control circuits. Turn the fryer off and contact an authorized service center.

NOTE: This controller is configured for the fryer on which it installed (i.e., gas or electric and full- or split-pot). Although identical in appearance, controllers configured for use on one type of fryer are not interchangeable with those configured for use on another type.

1.Turn the controller on by pressing the ON/OFF switch .

The controller software version number will display for four seconds then, in non-CE units, the setpoint temperature will appear in the display. In CE units, the frypot temperature will appear in the display – to view the setpoint temperature, press the temperature switch for the frypot in question.

A decimal point will appear between the first two numbers of the display, indicating that the unit is heating. When the frypot has reached the setpoint temperature, the heat indicator decimal point will go out, indicating that the fryer is ready for cooking.

2.Adjust the setpoint if necessary. To raise the setpoint temperature, press an up arrow . Press a down arrow to lower the setpoint temperature.

The display will change at the rate of approximately one-degree per second initially. If the arrow is pressed and held, after a change of about 12°, the rate of change will increase, allowing large changes in setpoint temperature to be made quickly.

SELECTING FAHRENHEIT OR CELSIUS DISPLAY MODE

To toggle the temperature display between Fahrenheit and Celsius, press the right C/F switch . The display(s) will change from xxx°F to xxx°C, where “xxx” is the frypot or setpoint temperature.

CANCELING THE MELT-CYLE

DANGER

Do not cancel the melt-cycle mode if using solid shortening!

The melt-cycle is designed to prevent scorching shortening and overheating the frypot or elements while gradually melting blocks of shortening. The controller automatically starts the fryer in the
