Caution: STATEMENT ON DISCARDING OIL—Hot cooking-oil is dangerous and
will cause severe skin burns. Handle with extreme caution. When discarding old
cooking oil, the cooking oil should be drained from the fryer into a cooking oil removal
cart. The cart should then be taken to a grease barrel and pumped into the grease barrel
to properly dispose of the old cooking oil.
High-Limit Check
(With MACC100A, M100A, and M100B Computer only.)
Note: Conduct this test when the fryer will not be needed for about 1 hour, and when the
cooking oil is due to be changed. Discard the cooking oil after completing this check.
Note: The cooking oil must be at a high enough level to cover the high-limit probe.
Note: Grease filters must be in place and exhaust fans must be on during entire high-
limit control check procedure.
Note: The high-limit test program allows the operator to test the trip-out temperature of
the first and second high-limit thermostats. The first high-limit feature is a function
performed by the computer and automatically resets when the cooking oil cools below
its trip point of 400°F (204°C). The second high-limit automatically resets when the
cooking oil has cooled to 400°F (204°C) or less. To perform the high-limit test, the vat
must be operating normally and the display reading "HI-LIMIT" on either display for a
full- or split-vat, depending on the test being performed.
Only one side of a split-vat is
to be checked at a time.
The test can be performed any time the vat is turned ON
except if the vat is in the melt or cooking cycle.

button (MACC100A and M100A), or the
