CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES

1.7 Calibrating Thermostat Control

1.Fill the frypot to the lower OIL-LEVELline with oil. If solid shortening is used, it must be tightly packed into the frypot.

2.Light the pilot. (Refer to Installation and Operation Manual that shipped with the fryer for detailed lighting instructions.)

3.Insert a good grade thermometer or pyrometer into the frypot, about one inch from the thermostat.

4.Set the thermostat to 325°F (163°C).

5.Allow the fryer to heat to 325°F (163°C) and cycle on and off three times.

6.With the oil temperature at 325°F (163°C) turn the flexible shaft slowly clockwise until the burner shuts off. (Turning the shaft counterclockwise causes the temperature to increase and the burner to light; turning it clockwise causes the temperature to decrease and shut off.)

7.Allow the fryer to sit for a few minutes and then slowly turn the flexible shaft counterclockwise until the burner lights.

8.Repeat steps 6 and 7 at least three times to ensure an accurate setting is obtained. The thermostat control is calibrated if the burner lights as the oil cools to 325°F (163°C) – not when the burner shuts off as the temperature rises.

9.Compare the reading of the pyrometer to the setting on the thermostat plate. The position of the knob on the thermostat and the reading from the pyrometer should be within 5°F (3°C) of each other.

10.If not, loosen the setscrew and stop screw securing the thermostat shaft extension to the flexible shaft. Remove the extension to expose the slot in the end of the flexible shaft. Use a flat-blade screwdriver to adjust the thermostat.

11.Once the calibration point of 325°F (163°C) is determined, allow the burner to cycle on and off at least three times to ensure it will light at the calibrated temperature.

12.Carefully replace the thermostat shaft extension, ensuring that the stop screw is pointed straight up. Tighten the stop screw and locking nut and the setscrew, being careful not to rotate the flexible shaft.

CAUTION

The thermostat flexible shaft must not be rotated while installing the thermostat

shaft extension!

When handling the thermostat, do not rotate the shaft more than two turns in either

direction. Doing so will cause damage to the thermostat.
