The fryer has two built-in high-limit protection features. If the temperature in the frypot reaches 411°F (210°C), an alarm will sound. In the event that the temperature continues to rise, there is a second and separate high limit circuit that will shut down the system at 425° (218°C), sound an alarm and display “help”.

A shunt trip device is integrated into the marine specifications. The shunt trip is a contact, which is closed by a coil in the fryer’s 24-volt safety circuit. Leads from the shunt trip extend from the fryer and can be wired to a specialized shipboard circuit breaker. Voltage from the ship passes through the closed shunt trip on the fryer, keeping the ship’s circuit breaker closed. If the fryer’s safety circuit opens due to the high-limit opening or the opening of a drain valve while the fryer is on, the shunt- trip circuit on the fryer opens, which opens the ship’s circuit breaker, killing power to the fryer.

The digital controller has no timing features, so the operator must monitor cooking.

WARNING

Before pressing the power switch to the ON position, ensure that the frypot is

properly filled with oil. See Section 3.1.

CONTROLLER OPERATING PROCEDURE

1.Turn the power switch ON.

2.Verify that the control is set to the desired cooking temperature.

3.Press the power switch to the ON position. The POWER light will illuminate.

4.If the frypot temperature is below 180°F (82°C), the controller will automatically enter a warm- up cycle (often called a melt cycle). The heating elements will cycle on and off repeatedly, allowing the oil to heat gradually, without scorching. During the warm-up cycle, the heating mode light (decimal point) will alternately illuminate and go off as the elements cycle on and off. When the frypot temperature reaches 180°F (82°C), the controller will exit the warm-up cycle and the heating mode light will remain continuously illuminated.

5.When the oil temperature reaches the setpoint, the elements will cycle OFF and the HEAT light will go off, indicating that the fryer is ready for the cooking process to begin.

INTRODUCTION

The Digital Controller allows the operator to program the frypot setpoint and to toggle the display between the frypot temperature and the programmed setpoint. The setpoint is an operator- determined frying temperature. When the controller is turned on, it automatically brings the cooking oil to the setpoint and maintains it at that temperature until the controller is turned off. Units display the setpoint by default. This controller also features a programmable melt-cycle cancel switch and a switch for toggling the temperature display between Fahrenheit and Celsius as well as toggling between the setpoint and the actual temperature.

E4 specifications

The Frymaster E4 is an advanced fryer that represents the cutting edge of commercial frying technology. Designed for efficiency and performance, it is favored by restaurants and fast-food chains looking to optimize their cooking processes while maintaining exceptional food quality.

One of the standout features of the Frymaster E4 is its programmable controls. With an intuitive digital interface, operators can easily adjust cooking temperatures, times, and even recipes with just a few taps. This level of precision ensures that food is consistently cooked to perfection every time, reducing waste and improving overall efficiency in the kitchen.

The E4 is equipped with high-performance burners that ensure rapid heating and recovery times. This means that cooking oil reaches the desired temperatures quickly, allowing for faster frying cycles. Thus, busy kitchens can meet high-demand periods without compromising quality or service speed. The fryer also features a high-efficiency oil filtration system that automatically removes contaminants and prolongs the life of the frying oil, resulting in a significant reduction in operating costs over time.

Another notable technology in the Frymaster E4 is its oil level management system, which actively monitors oil levels and alerts the operator when replenishment is necessary. This feature prevents overfilling or underfilling, both of which can negatively impact cooking performance and food quality.

Safety is also a top priority with the E4, as it incorporates features such as a built-in safety shut-off mechanism that activates if the temperature exceeds safe levels. Additionally, the fryer's robust construction minimizes the risks of spills and accidents in the kitchen, making it a reliable choice for high-traffic environments.

The Frymaster E4 also emphasizes energy efficiency, designed to meet stringent energy-saving standards without compromising performance. This is crucial in the current market, where energy costs can significantly impact overall profitability.

In conclusion, the Frymaster E4 offers an impressive combination of innovative technology, safety, and efficiency. Its programmable controls, high-performance frying capabilities, and advanced filtration and oil management systems make it an essential tool for any commercial kitchen aiming to enhance productivity and food quality. As the demands of the food industry continue to grow, the E4 stands out as a reliable partner for chefs looking to elevate their frying operations.
