An electromechanical device that allows pressure to be held in the frypot; the solenoid valve closes at the beginning of the Cook Cycle and automatically opens at the end of the Cook Cycle; if this valve becomes dirty or the teflon seat nicked, pressure will not build, and the valve must be repaired per Technical Manual

A two-way ball valve that is normally closed; turn the handle to drain the peanut oil from the frypot into the filter drain pan

DO NOT OPEN THE DRAIN VALVE WHILE FRYPOT IS UNDER PRESSURE. HOT PEANUT OIL WILL EXHAUST, AND SEVERE BURNS WILL RESULT.
