This is normal for fryers equipped

 

 

with CM III computers, Basket

 

 

Lift Timers, and Digital

 

 

Controllers. The default

 

 

operational mode for these

 

 

controllers is for the elements to

 

 

cycle on and off until the

 

 

temperature in the frypot reaches

 

 

180ºF (82ºC). In CM III

 

 

computers, CYCL will appear in

 

 

the display when in the melt-cycle

 

 

mode. The purpose of the melt-

 

 

cycle is to allow controlled melting

 

 

of solid shortening to prevent

the separate Frymaster Fryer

 

 

Controllers User's Manual for the

 

 

procedure for canceling the melt-

In fryers equipped with Solid State

 

 

(Analog) controllers, the melt-

 

 

cycle is controlled manually by

 

 

means of the rocker switch to the

 

 

right of the temperature control

 

 

knob. If not using solid

 

 

shortening, press the rocker switch

 

 

to the OFF position to turn off the

 

 

melt-cycle.
