Hobart HPGF15 manual Turning The Fryer Off, Extended Shutdown, Automatic Shutoff, High-Limitswitch

9.When pressure gauge reads 0, turn the handle counterclockwise until it stops before opening the lid.

CAUTION: Seal damage can occur if handle is not completely unscrewed. Do not force the lid to open.

ALWAYS swing the lid to the side. DO NOT raise the lid.

10.Using insulated mitts or tongs, raise the frying basket out of the oil and hang the basket on the lip of the kettle. Allow product to drain approximately 20 to 25 seconds. Remove the product and return the basket to the oil.

It is not necessary to turn the fryer off for this procedure. The cooking cycle is controlled by the setting of the timer, and the oil temperature is regulated by the thermostat.

TURNING THE FRYER OFF

1.Turn thermostat to OFF.

2.Turn power switch to the OFF position.

Extended Shutdown

1.Turn manual gas shutoff valve OFF.

2.Turn thermostat to OFF.

3.Turn power switch to the OFF position.

4.Turn gas valve and gas combination control knob to OFF.

5.Clean fryer following instructions shown in the CLEANING section of this manual. It is especially important that the solenoid assembly be cleaned.

AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF

If the burner flame goes out, gas flow to the main burner will automatically shut off. The gas combination control valve will remain in the ON position—it does not simultaneously return to OFF.

To relight the burner, repeat steps 1 through 6 under LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS.

HIGH-LIMIT SWITCH

Your pressure fryer is equipped with a high-temperature, limit switch. If an overtemperature situation occurs, the yellow high-limit light will flash, the pressure will exhaust and the gas burner will turn off. Once the oil temperature cools to below the high-limit temperature, the high-limit thermostat will reset and operation will resume automatically. It is recommended that you turn the power off and open the kettle lid to allow the oil to cool. The high limit switch may activate during initial startup until the kettle temperature stabilizes. If the high-limit switch activates anytime after initial startup, turn the fryer off and call your local Hobart service office.

POWER FAILURE

In the event of a general power failure, turn the thermostat knob and power switch to their OFF positions. After pressure gauge indicates 0, open the fryer lid and remove the basket from the kettle.

Upon resumption of electrical service, repeat all startup procedures.
