A control that senses the temperature of the shortening; if the temperature of the shortening exceeds the safe operating limit, this control opens and shuts off the heat to the frypot; when the temperature of the shortening drops to a safe operation limit, the control must be manually reset by pressing the red reset button, located under the control panel, behind the door (See Figure 3-2)

Controls the gas flow to the burner; the pilot is lit manually

An assembly that is tightened after the lid is latched, and applies pressure to the top of the lid; the lid gasket then applies pressure against the frypot rim; after building one pound of internal pressure, the lid liner pushes a locking pin up into the locking collar, preventing the spindle from being turned while the frypot is pressurized

An adjustable collar used to obtain the proper tightness between the lid gasket and the frypot rim; this limits the number of clockwise rotations of the spindle

The removable pan that houses the filter and catches the peanut oil when it is drained from the frypot; it is also used to remove and discard old peanut oil

When moving filter drain pan containing hot shortening, use extreme care to avoid burns from hot surfaces or splashing.

Connects the filter to the filter pump, and allows easy removal of the filter and filter drain pan

When the COOK/PUMP switch is in the PUMP position, this two-way valve directs filtered peanut oil from the drain pan, back into the frypot

Relays that route power to the heating elements; one relay is in series with the high limit, the other one is in series with the controls
