J1C, J1X, & J2X MASTER JET SERIES GAS FRYERS

CHAPTER 3: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

MELT CYCLE

CAUTION

If this is the first time the fryer is being used after installation, refer to Section 3.2,

Boiling-Out the Frypot.

Complete the following steps:

1.Make sure the fryer gas valve is in the OFF or PILOT position.

2.Close the frypot drain valve. Remove the basket support rack, if required.

3.Fill the frypot to the OIL-LEVEL line. When solid shortening is used, make sure it is packed down into the frypot cold zone.

4.To melt solid shortening without scorching, alternately turn the burner ON for 3 seconds and OFF for about 10 seconds until the shortening is melted. If smoke is seen during this process, the shortening is being heated too quickly and scorching. This step is not necessary if using liquid oil.

CAUTION

Thermostat-controlled fryers equipped with Melt Cycle switches will stay in the Melt

Cycle mode until the Melt Cycle switch is placed in the OFF position.

3.2 Boiling-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.

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.Set the thermostat to the lowest setting. Turn the fryer on as described in Section 3.1 (Lighting the Pilot). 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 gas valve knob to ON and allow the solution to come to a boil. Turn gas valve knob to PILOT and allow solution to set for 30 minutes.
