This display is normal if the fryer setpoint has been changed to a lower temperature. The display should revert to the normal four dashes when the frypot temperature cools to the setpoint. If the setpoint has not been changed, this indicates a problem with the temperature control circuitry. Turn the fryer off and call a FAS.

This in an indication of a malfunction in the temperature control circuitry, including a failure of the high limit thermostat. Shut the fryer down immediately and call a FAS.
