Frymaster 47 Series Placing the Fryer Into Operation, For units equipped with Thermostat Controls

WARNING

In the event of prolonged power failure, the ignition module will shut down and “lock out” the system. Turn the computer/controller OFF and then back ON after power has been re-established.

PLACING THE FRYER INTO OPERATION

CAUTION

If this is the first time the fryer is being used after installation, refer to Section 3.2, Boil-Out Procedure.

For units equipped with Thermostat Controls:

Place the Melt Cycle switch (if so equipped) to the ON position and set the thermostat knob to the desired cooking temperature. The U-shaped burner should ignite and burn with a strong, blue flame.

CAUTION

Thermostat-controlled fryers equipped with Melt Cycle switches will stay in the Melt Cycle mode until the Melt Cycle Switch is placed in the OFF position.

For units equipped with other than Thermostat Controls:

Place the computer/controller ON/OFF switch in the ON position and set the controller to – or program the controller for – the desired cooking temperature, referred to as the setpoint. The U-shaped burner should ignite and burn with a strong, blue flame. The unit automatically enters the Melt Cycle mode if the frypot temperature is below 180°F (82°C). (NOTE: During the melt cycle, the burner will repeatedly fire for a few seconds, then go out for a longer period.) When the frypot temperature reaches 180°F (82°C), the unit will automatically switch to the Heating mode. The burner will remain lit until the frypot temperature reaches the programmed cooking temperature (setpoint).

3.2Boiling-Out the Frypot

To ensure that the frypot is free of any contamination resulting from its manufacture, shipping, and handling during installation, the frypot must be boiled out before first use. Frymaster recommends boiling out the frypot each time the oil or shortening is changed.

DANGER

Never leave the fryer unattended during the boil-out process. If the boil-out solution boils over, turn the fryer off immediately and let the solution cool for a few minutes before resuming the process. To lessen the chance of boil over, turn the fryer’s gas valve knob to the PILOT position occasionally.

1.Before lighting the burner, close the fryer drain valve(s) and fill the frypot to the bottom OIL- LEVEL line with a mixture of cold water and dishwashing detergent.
