For units equipped with Thermostat
Controls
:
Place the Melt Cycle switch (if equipped)
to the ON position. Set the thermostat
knob to the desired cooking temperature.
The U-shaped burner should “light-off”
and burn with a strong, blue flame.
CAUTION
Thermostat-controlled fryers will
stay in the Melt Cycle mode until
the Melt Cycle switch is placed in
the OFF position.
For units equipped with other than
Thermostat Controls
:
Place the computer/controller ON/OFF
switch in the ON position and set the con-
troller to—or program the computer for—
the desired cooking temperature, referred
to as the
setpoint
. The U-shaped burner
should “light off” and burn with a strong,
blue flame. The unit automatically enters
the Melt Cycle mode if the frypot tem-
perature is below 180ºF (82ºC). (NOTE:
During the melt cycle, the burner will re-
peatedly fire for a few seconds, then go out
for a longer period.) When the frypot
temperature reaches 180ºF (82ºC), the unit
will automatically switch to the Heating
mode. The burner will remain lit until the
frypot temperature reaches the pro-
grammed cooking temperature (setpoint).

Boiling-Out the Frypot
To ensure that the frypot is free of any con-
tamination resulting from its manufacture,
shipping, and handling during installation, the
frypot must be boiled out before first use.
Frymaster
recommends boiling out the frypot
each time the oil or shortening is changed.
DANGER
Never leave the fryer unattended
during the boil-out process. If the boil-
out solution boils over, turn off power
to the fryer immediately and let the
solution cool for a few minutes before
resuming the process.
