9.

Repeat average temperature calculation for up to
three attempts. Allow the cooking control to cycle
at least two times between adjustments before
performing the calculation.

10. If calibration is unsuccessful, cooking control

may be malfunctioning and cannot be adjusted
properly. Install a replacement cooking control
and check calibration.

NOTES:

1. Values in the table are nominal. Tolerance is +5/-10%.

2. Resistance values (ohms) are @ room temperature.

3. There are 

3

 elements per firebar, 

6

 elements per tank.

 

 Disconnect the

electrical power to the machine and
follow lockout / tagout procedures.

1.

Remove ELEMENT HEAD COVER .

 Heating elements must remain

submerged in shortening while performing this test or
damage may occur.

2.

Access heating element lead wire connections at
wire nuts.

3.

Re-connect power, turn power switch on and set
cooking control to call for heat.

4.

Measure voltage at heating element connections
and verify against data plate voltage.

A.

If voltage is incorrect, see
TROUBLESHOOTING (Table 11).

NOTE: 

This method is preferred over a resistance

check when a clamp on type amp meter is available.

B.

If voltage is correct, check current draw
(amps) through the heating element lead
wires. See table for proper values.

If current draw is correct, heating
element is functioning properly.

If current draw is incorrect, replace
HEATING ELEMENT

5.

Measure heating element resistance.

 Disconnect the

electrical power to the machine and
follow lockout / tagout procedures.

NOTE: 

 If unable to check current draw, a resistance

check may indicate a malfunctioning element.

A.

Turn power switch off and disconnect power
to machine.

B.

Allow heating elements to cool to room
temperature.

C.

Remove wire nuts from heating element
lead wire connections and separate lead
wires.

D.

Check resistance (ohms). See table for
proper values.

NOTE: 

 Resistance values are provided for elements

at room temperature.

6.

Restore operational condition and check for
proper operation.
