POWER UP DIAGNOSTICS

On power up, the control will execute a self check. The failure of any of these tests will result in the message “CALL SERVICE” or “MICRO FAIL” being displayed.

This prompt will flash at approximately a 1 hertz rate. While the prompt is displayed, the computer will not function. If the failure is in the computer, the fryer will operate in backup mode.
