Note: This test can only be conducted with the oil temperature above 180°F.  If the 
shortening/oil temperature is below 180°F, the computer will display 

too cold.

 

4.

 

Hi-Limit

channel button if testing the left side of a split pot). 

6.

 

The heat indicator    should illuminate, indicating the fryer is calling for heat. 

7.

 

The right display will alternate between 

HI-Limit

 and the oil/shortening temperature until 

the temperature reaches 410°F (210°C).  At 410°F (210°C), 

Hi-1

 is displayed, alternating 

with the current temperature. The heat indicator 

 

goes out, indicating that the fryer is no 

longer calling for heat.  High-limit test #1 is complete. 

8.

 

For high-limit test #2, press and hold the right 

2

 cook channel button (left

 cook 

channel button if testing the left side of a split pot). 

9.

 

The right display will alternate between 

Hi-Limit

 

and the oil/shortening temperature until 

the mechanical high-limit opens (approximately 425°F (218°C).  The right display will then 
show 

Hi-2

10.

 

Failure of high-limit test #2 is indicated by an alternating display of 

hi-2

 and 

bad

.  Call 

for service immediately if this occurs. 

11.

 

Press 

 

to clear the test and turn the computer off. 

Caution: If after completing both high-limit tests you find only the second high-limit 
operates properly, the vat can be used if it is absolutely necessary, but with extreme care.  
The computer must be replaced immediately after this period of necessity.  If the second 
high-limit does not work, the vat must not be used until the second high-limit has been 
replaced.  If the first high-limit feature activates at less than 410°F (204°C), do not 
repair or replace the computer or controller unless it interferes with proper cooking.  If 
the second high-limit activates at less than 425°F (218°C), do not replace it unless it 
prevents you from checking the first high-limit feature. 

 

Scratch Calibration Check 

 

 

(

Gas Fryers Only

) (Should be done by a qualified service person.) 

Caution: Portions of fryer will be hot during this scratch calibration. 

Note: Conduct this test when fryer will not be needed for about one hour. 

1.

 

Contact the local gas company or service agency to check the gas pressure out of the 
fryer's gas regulator. 

Result: Gas pressure must be 3.0" W.C. (76 mm W.C.) natural gas or 8.25" W.C. (210 
mm W.C.) propane gas. 

Caution: If the pressure does not meet above requirements the fryer gas valve regulator 
must be adjusted by the service agency to obtain the correct pressure.
