OPERATION OF THIS FRYER SHOULD BE LIMITED TO PERSONNEL WHO HAVE BEEN THOROUGHLY TRAINED IN OPERATING PROCEDURES.

CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN LOWERING BASKETS INTO FRYER TO PREVENT SPLASHING HOT OIL FROM FRYER VESSEL.

If your fryer has timers, push the “T1,” “T2” or “T3” button on the digital timer(s). For fryers with automatic basket lift, basket(s) will lower into fryer vessel.

When timer(s) sounds, carefully lift basket(s) out of hot oil. For fryers with automatic basket lift, a buzzer will sound and the basket(s) will rise automatically. Allow oil to drain before removing.

DO NOT LIFT BASKETS DIRECTLY OUT OF THE FRYER VESSEL WITHOUT DRAINING AS SEVERE INJURY MAY RESULT.

USE ONLY KEATING APPROVED BASKETS IN YOUR FRYER. NEVER OVERFILL FRY BASKETS. DO NOT BANG BASKETS ON BASKET HANGERS OR ON FRYER VESSEL.

Place basket(s) on basket hanger on splashback of fryer and allow to drain.

SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS

Always turn the fryer off each night. See Shutdown procedure.

TS MODEL TIMER

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

PART # 056921

DIGITAL TIMERS

The electronic timers, standard on TS models, provide a clearly visible and accurate display and are very easy to use. Three different, independent cook times can be set using this timer - T1, T2, and T3.

PROGRAMMING

To program the timers, the unit must be in the idle mode. Press and hold the set button for approximately two seconds. The display will show “SEt”. Press T1, T2, or T3 for the cook time to be programmed. The display will show the current setting for that cook time. Use the up or down button to increment or decrement the setting. When the setting is correct, press and hold the set button again for approximately two seconds. The display will show "StO" for approximately two seconds and the timer will return to normal operation. Repeat the process as necessary for the other timers.

OPERATING LOGIC

When the timer is powered up, the display will show the time setting for the cook time that was operated last and the relay output contacts will be open. To start a cycle, press the desired cook time button (T1, T2 or T3). The

display will begin to countdown from the preset time setting and the relay output contacts will close. During the countdown the colon will flash at a one-second rate. When the countdown has reached "00:00" the relay output contacts will open, the display will flash, and the audible alarm will sound. To cancel the audible alarm, press any button.

PAUSE FEATURE

To pause a cycle in progress, press any button. The relay output contacts will open, the display will flash, and the countdown will pause. To resume the countdown, press any button. The display will resume the normal countdown and the relay output contacts will close.

CANCELING A CYCLE

To cancel a cycle in progress press and hold any button for approximately two seconds. The relay output contacts will open and the display will show the time setting for the channel last used.

OIL BREAKDOWN

As part of a “Preventive Maintenance Program”, the oil in your fryer needs to be filtered regularly. The initial investment in the frying system is far less than the total overall costs of oil during the life of the fryer, and with regular filtering, you can realize substantial savings in oil costs, as well as maintenance charges. We have listed some of the conditions which are catalysts in the breakdown of oil:

1.Contact with Oxygen

2.Carbonization of Crumbs and Food Particles

3.Non-Stainless Steel Surfaces

4.Keep Salt and Seasonings Away From Oil

5.Prolonged High Temperatures

DRAINING

Operator in safety gear

ALWAYS SHUT THE FRYER OFF COMPLETELY BEFORE DRAINING. THE FRYER SHOULD BE DRAINED ONLY UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF PROPERLY TRAINED PERSONNEL. A DRAIN PIPE AND COVERED CONTAINER SUITABLE FOR USE WITH HOT OIL SHOULD BE USED TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE OPERATOR.
