COMPUTER MAGIC III FEATURES

SENSITIVITY OR “STRETCH AND SHRINK TIME

Sensitivity or stretch time is a programmable feature, patented by Frymaster, which increases or decreases the cooking time countdown based on variations in the oil temperature from the set point.

The sensitivity for each product button has ten settings (0 through 9). A zero sensitivity setting will disable the feature (no change in cooking time), while a nine will provide the highest sensitivity or most change. The correct sensitivity for any product is based on the product, its density, the set point temperature, and the customer’s own requirements.

RECOVERY TIME

Recovery time is a method of measuring a fryer’s performance. Put simply, it is the time required for the fryer to increase the oil temperature from 250ºF to 300ºF (121ºC to 149ºC). This range is used as a standard since ambient kitchen temperatures can effect the test if lower ranges are used.

The Computer Magic III performs the recovery test each time the fryer warms up. An operator can view the results of the test any time the fryer is above the 300ºF (149ºC) point by pressing the button and entering the code 1652. The test results will be displayed in the computer’s LED panel in minutes and seconds. The maximum acceptable recovery time for the H50 Series of fryers is two minutes and twenty-five seconds.
