INTRODUCTION

The Thermostat Controller utilizes a thermostat that is directly connected to a temperature knob mounted on the control panel. Rotating the knob to the desired cooking temperature physically

adjusts the thermostat control to that temperature. Placing the ON/OFF Switch in the ON position supplies power to the fryer’s components and causes the switch to illuminate. Placing the Melt Cycle Switch in the ON position causes the fryer to cycle on for a few seconds and off for a longer period. The purpose is to prevent scorching shortening, and to prevent overheating the frypot or elements while gradually melting blocks of shortening. This switch is also illuminated when in the ON position. The Heat Mode Indicator illuminates when the frypot is below setpoint.

DANGER

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

CAUTION

The fryer will remain in the Melt Cycle mode until turned off by placing the Melt Cycle

Switch in the "OFF" position.
