8.Allow the burners to cycle on and off three more times and recheck the thermometer/pyrometer reading against the thermostat setting. Temperature readings should be within 5°F (2.8°C) of setpoint.

Fryers with thermostat control panels:

NOTE: Remove the thermostat knob from its shaft to allow the control panel to hinge downward. Follow the instructions in Section 1.4.2 to remove the knob and control panel.

1.Fill the frypot to the lower OIL-LEVEL line with cooking oil. If using solid shortening, pre-melt it before starting the calibration procedure.

2.Ensure the fryer power switch is in the OFF position, and light the pilot. (Refer to Chapter 3 of the Installation and Operation manual for detailed lighting instructions.)

3.Insert a thermometer or pyrometer into the frypot so that it touches the thermostat guard.

4.Loosen the setscrew and stop screw securing the thermostat shaft extension to the flexible shaft. Remove the extension to expose the slot in the end of the flexible shaft.

5.Place the fryer power switch in the ON position.

NOTE: If the burner does not light at this time, it does not mean the thermostat is defective.

CAUTION

The thermostat flexible shaft must not be rotated while installing the thermostat shaft extension!

Do not rotate the flexible shaft more than two turns in either direction. Doing so will cause damage to the thermostat.

Use a small flat-head screwdriver to slowly turn the flexible shaft counterclockwise until the burner lights.

6.When the oil temperature reaches 325°F (162°C), slowly turn the flexible shaft clockwise until the burner turns off. Then, allow the fryer to sit for a few minutes.

7.Repeat Steps 5 and 6 at least three times to ensure that the setting is accurate. The thermostat control is considered properly calibrated if the burner lights when the cooking oil cools to 325°F (162°C).

Do not take the reading when the burner shuts off after raising the temperature.

8.Once the thermostat is calibrated, allow the burner to cycle on and off at least three times to ensure that it lights at the correct temperature.

9.After the calibration is complete, place the fryer power switch in the OFF position and disconnect the fryer from the electrical supply.

10.Carefully replace the thermostat shaft extension so that the stop screw points straight up. Without rotating the flexible shaft, tighten the stop screw, locking nut, and setscrew.

11.Close the fryer control panel and replace the screws and bezel.

12.Reinstall the thermostat knob. Align its pointer with the 325°F (162°C) index mark on the temperature dial.

13.Reconnect the fryer to the electrical supply.

45, 35 specifications

The Frymaster 35 and 45 series fryers are well-known in the catering industry for their reliability, efficiency, and advanced cooking technologies. These models are designed to cater to medium to high-volume establishments, providing users with exceptional performance and ease of use.

One of the main features of the Frymaster 35 and 45 series is their impressive fry capacity. The 35 model can handle around 35 pounds of oil, while the 45 model accommodates up to 45 pounds. This increased oil capacity means that both fryers can fry larger batches of food more efficiently, allowing for quicker service times in busy kitchens.

Another key characteristic is the high-performance heating elements. The Frymaster series utilizes V-shaped heat exchangers, which deliver rapid recovery times and consistent cooking temperatures. This technology enables the fryers to maintain optimal heat levels even during heavy usage, ensuring that food is cooked evenly and thoroughly.

The Frymaster 35 and 45 also feature built-in filtration systems. This technology helps in prolonging the life of the oil by filtering out food particles and impurities, which not only enhances the taste of the fried food but also reduces operational costs. The automatic filtration system can be programmed to run on a cycle to ensure that oil quality remains high without requiring constant manual intervention.

In terms of user-friendly design, both models are equipped with digital temperature controls, which allow chefs to precisely set and maintain frying temperatures. The intuitive control panel simplifies operation, while the integrated safety features, such as high-limit temperature controls, help prevent overheating and accidents in the kitchen.

Durability is another hallmark of the Frymaster series. Constructed from stainless steel, these fryers are built to withstand the rigors of commercial kitchens while resisting corrosion and wear. Additionally, Frymaster offers a range of accessories and options, such as baskets and lids, to enhance the functionality and versatility of these fryers.

In summary, the Frymaster 35 and 45 series fryers are top-tier options for commercial food establishments, combining substantial fry capacity, advanced heating technology, built-in oil filtration, and user-friendly controls. Their robust design and efficiency make them ideal for any kitchen looking to deliver high-quality fried foods consistently.
