Fryer Components and Their Function
3 - 4 Cooking Computer Features
To help you understand the many programming features of the cooking computer, we strongly suggest
you read the following:
MELT CYCLE
This melt cycle is shipped to you OFF and must be turned ON for those fryer users who occasionally or
regularly use SOLID SHORTENING. (Shortening which is slushy at room temperature is not considered
solid.)
For SOLID SHORTENING users, the melt cycle typically increases a 335°F (168°C) initial daily preheat time
to 45 minutes. The ON melt cycle with SOLID SHORTENING prevents solid shortening from scorching
and greatly reduces the chance of a solid shortening oil fire on initial preheat.
It is the responsibility of you, the end user to tell your equipment supplier/installer of any solid shortening
use so they can program your melt cycle “ON”.
In the event your equipment supplier cannot be reached to set up your controller for melt cycle operation,
you can call our factory service department toll free at 1-800-288-1555 and we will tell you how to set the
controller to the melt cycle mode.
COOL DOWN CYCLE
After any of your 8 menu time cycles end (00.00) and your fryer is not required for use for an hour or more,
you can reduce energy costs by pressing the “COOL” key. This key will allow the hot oil to cool down to
275°F (135°C) for stand by use. When your fryer is required for use after being in the “cool cycle”, merely
press the COOL key again and the fryer will go back to the last lighted menu key’s programmed tempera-
ture. When the orange heat light goes off in approximately 3-4 minutes, stir the oil vigorously until the
orange heat light comes on again. When the light goes off for a second time, the oil will be ready for use.
FILTER CYCLE AND ALARM
The Chester Fried chicken program recommends you filter your oil after every 4th full load of chicken.
Filtering cleans the breading sediment out of the fry pot and removes contaminants from the oil. The fil-
tering process can greatly extend the oil life. At the end of every 4th load, “FILT” will flash up on the dis-
play and a repeating 2 sec on / 2 sec off sound alarm will be heard. The filter alarm indicates it is time to
filter the oil.
NOTE:
The sound alarm can be silenced by pressing the “FILTER” key.
