Power UP Diagnostics

ELECTRIC FRYERS - ELECTRICAL OPERATION

On power up, the control will execute a self check. The failure of any of these tests will result in the message “CALL SERVICE” or “MICRO FAIL” being displayed.

This prompt will flash at approximately a 1 hertz rate. While the prompt is displayed, the computer will not function. If the failure is in the computer, the fryer will operate in backup mode.

When the fryer computer comes out of initialization and self check routines, it will either enter the heating mode or the melt mode (if programmed) of operation.

For a split vat fryer, one vat can be off while the other is in operation. If this occurs, the side that is off will be indicated by displaying the “OFF” prompt to the user. The message will be on the side of the display which corresponds to the vat which is off.

The system diagnostics menu is intended to give you the ability to test the basic parts of the computer. It can be entered by pressing the 8 and 9 product keys simultaneously while turning on power to the fryer computer. The message “SYSTEM TESTS” is displayed. In this mode you can select one of three tests.

With DISPLAY TEST displayed, press enter to begin a test, use the up and down arrows to rotate through the screens. Press exit once to return to the test menu or twice to return to normal operation.
