Description 

Function 

ALARM button 

This button allows the user to set an elapsed time at which the 
internal alarm will sound during a cycle. The time is set by 
pressing and holding the ALARM button while using the UP and 
DOWN arrows to change the time. The controller will limit the 
alarm time to be less than the currently programmed interval cycle 
time. The default alarm time is 0:00 which disables it. The ALARM 
time is saved on power down in the same manner as the last 
interval time. When a time cycle is running and the alarm time has 
elapsed the internal alarm will sound for 10 seconds. For 
example, a cycle time 10:00 and alarm time of 2:00 would cause 
the alarm to sound for 10 seconds once the controller has counted 
down from 10:00 to 8:00. This button is used to cancel the STIR 
OIL alarm. This button is also used to reconfigure the STIR OIL 
Function. 

 

A, B, C, D preset 
buttons 

These buttons are used to save and recall preset cycle and alarm 
times, saving operator time and minimizing error when changing 
interval cycle times and alarm times. To save the current interval 
and alarm times into one of the preset locations, press and hold 
the A, B, C, or D preset button for 2 seconds and the controller will 
double chirp to indicate the times have been saved. To recall any 
preset time, press and quickly release the appropriate button and 
the time values are loaded and displayed. These buttons are also 
used to reconfigure the STIR OIL function. 

 

Beeper 

A beeper sounds when the timer counts down to 0. Pressing the 
START/STOP button stops the beeper and resets the timer 
causing the display to return to the original starting time. At this 
point, time can be changed using the TIME SELECT buttons or 
the preset buttons. The beeper will also sound for 10 seconds if 
the alarm time has elapsed during a timing cycle. When the STIR 
OIL function begins the beeper will sound until the ALARM or 
START/STOP button is pressed. 

 

Display 

Used to display the time. It also displays the words “STIR” then 
“OIL” in .5 second intervals until the ALARM or START/STOP 
button is pressed. 

  High Limit Reset 

Switch 

Located under the control panel. If the heating elements inside the 
pot reach an unsafe temperature, power is automatically removed 
from the control panel and elements. Pressing this switch returns 
power to the control panel and elements. 

10 

  Drain Lever 

DRAIN OPEN – When placed in this position, the drain valve 
opens and shortening in the pot drains into the vat. Also power is 
removed from the control panel and elements. 
DRAIN CLOSED – When placed in this position, the drain valve is 
closed to prevent shortening from draining into the pot. 

11 

  Fill Lever 

FILL THRU POT – When placed in this position, shortening can 
be pumped automatically from the vat to the pot if the rocker 
switch is in the FILTER position. 
FILL THRU HOSE – When placed in this position, shortening can 
be pumped from the vat to the pot via a connected hose if the 
rocker switch is in the FILTER position. 

12 

  Rinse Hose Connector 

Used to connect the Rinse hose for cleaning and refilling the pot. 

13  Pump

Reset 

Switch 

If the motor overheats while filtering, it will automatically shut off.
