CF SERIES GAS FRYERS

CHAPTER 3: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

For units equipped with other than Thermostat Controls (non-KFC co-branded locations)

Place the computer/controller ON/OFF switch in the ON position and set the controller to – or program the computer for – the desired cooking temperature, referred to as the setpoint. The U-shaped burner should light and burn with a strong, blue flame. The unit automatically enters the melt cycle mode if the frypot temperature is below 180°F (82°C). (NOTE: During the melt cycle, the burner will repeatedly fire for a few seconds, then go out for a longer period.) When the frypot temperature reaches 180°F (82°C), the unit will automatically switch to the heating mode. The burner will remain lit until the frypot temperature reaches the programmed cooking temperature (setpoint).

NOTE: In KFC co-branded locations, boil-out is NOT ALLOWED. Use the KFC

approved procedure.

3.2Boiling-Out the Frypot

To ensure that the frypot is free of any contamination resulting from its manufacture, shipping, and handling during installation, the frypot must be boiled out before first use. Frymaster recommends boiling out the frypot each time the oil or shortening is changed. Boil-out is not allowed at KFC co-

branded locations.

DANGER

Never leave the fryer unattended during the boil-out process. If the boil-out solution boils over, turn the fryer off immediately and let the solution cool for a few minutes before resuming the process. To lessen the chance of boil over, turn the fryer’s gas valve knob to the PILOT position occasionally.

1.Before lighting the burner, close the fryer drain valve(s) and fill the frypot to the bottom OIL- LEVEL line with a mixture of cold water and automatic dishwashing detergent.

2.For units equipped with a Thermostat or Solid State (Analog) Controller:

Set the thermostat to the lowest setting. Turn the fryer on as described in Section 3.1. Allow the solution to come to a boil, and then turn the gas valve knob to PILOT. Allow the solution to set for 30 minutes. Turn the fryer back on and allow the solution to come to a boil. Turn gas valve knob to OFF and allow solution to set for 30 minutes. Proceed to Step #8, this section.

3.For units equipped with a Digital Controller, set the setpoint to 195°F (91°C).

4.For units equipped with a Basket Lift Timer, press the Boil-Out Mode button to begin the boil-out process.
