2.Press the controller Power switch.

On FBR18 models, the burners will light for several seconds then go out. A few seconds later they will light again. This cycle will repeat seven times or until the water in the cookpot reaches 160°F (71°C), whichever comes first, at which time the burners will remain lit until the setpoint is reached.

On FBRA18 models, if the cookpot is not already full of water, the AutoFill feature will im- mediately begin adding water. When the water level reaches the upper water level sensor, the AutoFill solenoid valve will cut off the water flow. (If the water level drops below the upper water level sensor during operation, the AutoFill solenoid valve will open and add water to the cookpot). When the water level is above the lower water level sensor, the burners will light for several seconds then go out. A few seconds later they will light again. This cycle will repeat seven times or until the water in the cookpot reaches 160°F (71°C), whichever comes first, at which time the burners will remain lit until the setpoint is reached.

3.When the burners have been lit continuously for at least 90 seconds, observe the burners through the burner viewing ports. The burners should display a bright orange-red glow. If a blue flame is observed, or if there are dark spots on a burner face, the air/gas mixture requires adjustment. Refer to Chapter 4, Section 4.4, Clean Combustion Air Blower for adjustment pro- cedures.

3.4Boiling-Out the Cookpot

To ensure that the cookpot is free of any contamination resulting from its manufacture, shipping, and handling during installation, the cookpot must be boiled out before first use.

1.Close the drain valve and fill the cookpot with a solution of cold water and 1 cup of Frymaster FRYER ‘N’ GRIDDLE cleaner or detergent.

2.Place the unit into operation in accordance with Section 3.3.

3.Program the setpoint for 200°F (93°C). When the Heat Mode indicator (decimal between the first two digits of the display) goes out, set one of the product timers for 60 minutes.

4.After the solution simmers for an hour, turn the unit off, allow the solution to cool, then add 2 gallons (7.75 liters) of cold water and stir. Drain the solution and clean the cookpot thoroughly.

5.Rinse the cookpot at least twice by filling with clean water and draining.
