5.01.2 Computer Control, General Operation
The following is general operational information only. Detailed procedures and instructions are covered in
subsequent sections. During operation, certain instructions and prompts will be shown on the Upper OLED Display
to step Users through processes. Some Controller keys and indicator lights will illuminate to further guide the User.
● POWER UP:
Place Power Switch in [ON] position. Controller will power up, then an alarm sounds. The message “POWER
FAILURE [PRESS START TO PREHEAT]” is shown on the Upper Display . This is normal , intended to prevent Fryer
from beginning to heat after power interruptions until attended by an operator. Pressing the START key silences
the alarm and places Fryer into PREHEAT mode. If the Heat Switch is in the [HEAT] position, and temperature
setpoint is higher than the current actual oil temperature, heating elements will turn ON and cooking oil will
begin to heat.
● PREHEAT:
During the PREHEAT state, the real-time actual oil temperature is displayed on the Lower 7-Segment Display .
When oil reaches the programmed setpoint, an alarm tone sounds, the Upper OLED Display will display message
“ALARM, STIR OIL” . Vigorously stir the cooking oil, and press [ALARM] key. Typically, oil temperature will drop
when stirred. Controller has a 10 second delay and if oil temperature drops below setpoint, PREHEAT state
continues until oil returns to setpoint. This process helps ensure that temperature is more uniform throughout
the total volume of oil, leading to better cooking performance. Upon reaching setpoint, the alarm sounds again
and the Upper Display reads “ALARM - SETPOINT REACHED” . Pressing the [ALARM] key, places the Fryer in
READY state.
● READY STATE:
Fryer is ready for cooking. The current cooking temperature setpoint will be shown on the Lower Display and
the last used cooking parameters (preset or input information) are shown on the Upper Display .
While in PREHEAT or READY state, User can select (or change) a Menu Item Preset, see Section 5.01.5.2, Selecting a
Menu Preset -OR- User can manually set a different cooking time and/or change the cooking temperature, see
Section 5.01.3, Setting the Cooking Temperature & Section 5.01.4, Manually Setting the Cook Time .
NOTE: If the PASSCODE ENABLE is set to ON, User cannot manually set Time without first entering the proper
password. This lockout feature provides a measure of control over cooking procedures.
● START:
Current cook times (Menu Preset or manually set time), are shown on the Upper Display for each Basket side.
To start a cooking timer press the [START} key + select BASKET side: [4] = Left, [6] = Right, [5] = Both .
