FRYERS
Aqualert® description:
Aqualert® is software built into the Collectramatic fryer controls that automatically detects
the presence of water in the cookpot and prevents the fryer from being used. Aqualert® is included in all
electronically controlled fryers with Winston-manufactured controls.
Aqualert works by sensing the rate of the rise in temperature of a liquid inside the fryer cookpot. Water heats up
more slowly than cooking oil. When the fryer is heating to cook temperature in the warm-up phase, Aqualert sensors
determine, by the rate the temperature rises in the fryer, whether the liquid is water or cooking oil. If the
temperature doesn’t rise fast enough, Aqualert will
think
that there is water in the fryer and the fryer will stop
heating. The fryer will remain in this suspended mode until the temperature of the liquid in the fryer drops below
180˚F (82˚C), at which point, if you have determined there is no liquid other than cooking oil in the fryer, you should
allow the fryer to make another attempt to reach the cook temperature by following the instructions below. The
Aqualert sensors will once again try to determine if there is a liquid other than cooking oil in the fryer. If the fryer
continues to enter Aqualert mode, contact Winston Customer Care at 1.800.234.5268 or +1.502.495.5400.
INSTRUCTIONS:
!
DANGER:
DO NOT
use any liquids other than cooking oils in fryer cookpot.
If the fryer is not heating up between the temperatures of 180˚F (82˚C) and 212˚F (100˚C) and the display toggles
between H2O and ALRT, it is locked up due to the Aqualert® sensing program.
1.
Check to see if there is water or any other liquid in the cookpot other than cooking oil (cooking oil may be in a
solid or liquid state).
If any liquid other than cooking oil is present, it must be removed before operating the
fryer.
2.
Check the temperature of the cooking oil in the cookpot. If it is between 180˚F (82˚C) and 212˚F (100˚C), it is
locked up due to the Aqualert® sensing program.
3.
Stir the oil with the fryer plugging tool until the temperature of the oil drops below 180˚F (82˚C). At this point,
the fryer heaters will come back on and the fryer will begin to heat up to the set Drop temperature.
DO NOT
STIR
THE OIL AGAIN UNTIL THE TEMPERATURE REACHES THE SET DROP TEMPERATURE.
4.
When the set temperature is reached, stir the oil vigorously for at least a full minute until the temperature of
the oil drops well below the set temperature. BE SURE TO STIR DOWN IN THE COLLECTOR.
!
DANGER:
DO NOT
stir cooking oil in collector
after the first round of cooking
each day. Cooking oil may
come up and out of cookpot because of cracklings and product fall-off in the collector.
5.
For the first frying of the day, allow fryer to heat back up to set DROP temperature. STIR AND LET TEMPERATURE
RISE BACK TO THE SET DROP TEMPERATURE AT LEAST 3 TIMES.
6.
!
CAUTION:
HOT SURFACES - Carefully feel the bottom, outside surface of the collector. It should
be very hot to the touch. If it is not, continue to follow the stirring instructions in steps 5 and 6 above.
7.
When the collector is hot to the touch, place the Heat Plate in the collector and continue to follow the
instructions under Operating Instructions (page 12 step 16).
