Model 500/600

The following procedures should be followed on the initial start-up of the fryer, and each time the fryer is brought back into operation from a cold or shut down condition. These are basic, general instructions.

1.Check to see that the COOK/PUMP switch is turned OFF.

2.Make sure the drain valve and filter valve are closed.

3.Remove the fry basket from the frypot and leave lid up.

4.Make sure the peanut oil is filled to the proper level in the frypot; 1/4 to1/2 inch (6.4-12.7 mm) below level indicator line. See Filling orAdding Peanut Oil Section.

5.Connect power to the fryer.

6.On gas models, light the pilot light. Refer to Gas Pilot Lighting Procedures Section.

7.Turn the COOK/PUMP switch to COOK. Upon initial start-up “CLOCK SET” shows in display. Set the clock to your time, following prompts on the display, or see section 3-3 for help. Then display asks if the peanut oil is new or old. The controls auto- matically adjust the peanut oil temperature to the age of the pea-

8.Unit automatically goes into the Melt Cycle, until the peanut oil temperature reaches 230°F (110°C). Then the controls go into the Heat Cycle and the peanut oil heats to a preset temperature.

Once melted peanut oil reaches the proper level in the frypot, the melt cycle can be bypassed by pressing and holding one of the Product buttons.

Do not bypass the Melt Cycle unless enough shortening

has melted to completely cover the elements in electric fryers or frypot surface in gas fryers. If the Melt Cycle is bypassed before all surfaces are covered, excessive smoking of shortening, or a fire will result.

9.Stir the peanut oil as it is heating up from a cold start. Be sure to stir down into the bottom of the frypot.
