Glossary of Terms and Features
Daylight Savings Time
:
Some countries have a one-hour change to their clocks in the Spring and Fall to allow
for more daylight hours. Spring / Fall programming as described in this manual allows the operator to quickly
and easily change the time by one hour without accessing the other polish programmable parameters.
Instant On:
When turned "On" this feature automatically causes the electric element or gas burner to turn "On"
for a pre-determined time (0-60 seconds) when a cook cycle is started. This helps prevent excessive temperature
drop when product is introduced to the fryer, thereby ensuring product quality.
Polish
:
The circulation of the shortening through the filter for a period of time, as opposed to filtering which
passes the shortening through the filter only once.
Polish Later
:
The polish later command is active at all times UNLESS the delay time is programmed to ZERO.
The polish later command is used if a fryer has entered the polish command, yet it is needed to produce product
at that time. The delay time programmed will start counting, and at the end of the delay time the operator will be
forced to polish the shortening. The delay can only be activated once.
Polish Now
:
The “polish now” command is active at all times once the event times are activated. If a Polish
Now is entered and completed within 3 hours of a scheduled event polish time, the event polish time will be
canceled. This allows an operator to polish a fryer and get credit for the polish before the actual polish command
sounds. This is useful in a store with many fryers where the operator wants to "get ahead" of the polish work if
they have time available.
Polish Scheme
:
There are 4 events. An event is a polish sequence. (See pages 17 & 18)
Stagger Times
:
(This is for the 2
nd
event only)
Some operators prefer all the fryers to enter polish at the same
time. In this case, all fryers start beeping at the same time and the need to polish is obvious. The delay command
can then be used to delay those fryers that are needed for cooking. Other operators prefer a staggering of the
Polish activation time (less noise in the kitchen, and can polish in a sequence). Staggered time programming as
described in this manual allows the operator to quickly and easily customize their preference without accessing
the other polish programmable parameters. Staggers are available in 15-minute increments from the set polish
time up 45 minutes.
