Lid Latch

A spring loaded latch that provides a positive latch to hold the lid

 

 

 

closed; this latch, along with the spindle assembly and lid gasket,

 

 

 

provides a pressure sealed frypot chamber

Lid Limit Stop

A threaded adjustable collar used to obtain the proper

 

 

 

tightness between the lid gasket and the frypot rim; done by

 

 

 

controlling the number of clockwise rotations of the spindle

Solenoid Valve

An electromechanical device that causes pressure to be held in the

 

 

 

frypot; the solenoid valve closes at the beginning of the Cook Cycle

 

 

 

and is opened automatically by the controls at the end of the Cook

 

 

 

Cycle; if this valve becomes dirty or the teflon seat nicked, pressure

 

 

 

won’t build and must be repaired

Spindle

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, prevent-

 

 

 

ing the spindle from being turned while the frypot is pressurized

Safety Relief

This is an ASME approved spring loaded valve, set at 14.5 psi;

 

 

Valve

if the deadweight assembly is clogged, this safety valve releases

 

 

 

excess pressure, keeping the frypot chamber at 14.5 psi

 

 

 

(999 mbar) if this occurs, turn the main power switch to OFF to

 

 

 

release all pressure from the frypot

If safety relief valve activates, turn main power switch to the OFF position. To avoid serious burns and injuries, have fryer serviced before next use.
