Read oil temperature. 

Insert the fry vat probe of the 
pyrometer into the hot oil to 
within 1 inch (2.5 cm) of the 
probe’s tip. The tip should  
be approximately 3 inches  
(7.6 cm) below the surface of 
the oil. Allow the temperature 
reading to stabilize.  

 

 
 
 

Display temperature on fryer. 

Press the temperature display 
switch for the vat where you 
took the pyrometer reading. 
The display will show the 
temperature for the vat. 

 

Compare temperature 
readings. 

Compare the temperature 
reading on the pyrometer with 
the corresponding tempera-
ture on the display.  
 
If the two temperatures are 
less than 5°F (3°C) apart (ei-
ther plus or minus), you do 
not need to adjust the tem-
perature setting. 
 
If the two temperatures are 
more than 5°F (3°C) apart 
(either plus or minus), call a 
service technician to report 
the problem. 

 

Repeat for other side of split- 
vat. 

If the vat you tested was a full 
vat, skip this step and go to 
step 9. 
 
If the vat you tested was one 
side of a split-vat, repeat steps 
5 through 7 on the other side 
of the split-vat. 

 

End calibration check. 

When you have finished steps 
5 through 7 for the vat (in-
cluding both sides of a split-
vat), press the on/off button to 
end the calibration check for 
the vat.

Calibrate remaining fryers. 

Repeat steps 1 through 9 for 
all remaining fryers.
