•Verify that the temperature and
•Verify that component box components (i.e. computer/controller, transformers, relays, interface boards, etc.) are in good condition and free from oil and other debris. Inspect the component box wiring and verify that connections are tight and that wiring is in good condition.
•Verify that all safety features (i.e. drain safety switches, reset switches, etc.) are present and functioning properly.
•Verify that the frypot is in good condition and free of leaks and that the frypot insulation is in serviceable condition.
•Verify that wiring harnesses and connections are tight and in good condition.
Built-In Filtration System
•Inspect all
•Inspect the filter pan for leaks and cleanliness. If there is a large accumulation of crumbs in the crumb basket, advise the owner/operator that the crumb basket should be emptied into a fireproof container and cleaned daily.
•Verify that all
•Check filtration system integrity as follows:
−Verify that filter pan cover is present and properly installed.
−With the filter pan empty, place each oil return handle, one at a time, in the ON position. Verify that the pump activates and that bubbles appear in the cooking oil/shortening (or that gurgling is heard from the Power Shower port if applicable) of the associated frypot.
−Close all oil return valves (i.e., place all oil return handles in the OFF position). Verify proper functioning of each oil return valve by activating the filter pump using the lever on one of the oil return microswitches. No air bubbles should be visible in any frypot (or no gurgling should be heard from the Power Shower ports if applicable).
−Verify that the filter pan is properly prepared for filtering, then drain a frypot of oil heated to 350°F (177°C) into the filter pan and close the frypot drain valve. Place the oil return handle in the ON position. Allow all cooking oil to return to the frypot (indicated by bubbles in the cooking oil or on units with Power Showers, cessation of oil flow from the Power Shower). Return the oil return handle to the OFF position. The frypot should have refilled in no more than 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
