The hi-limit safety is designed to shut down the fryer if the oil temperature exceeds 440ºF. A build-up
of cooking debris between the heating element and the thermobulb of the hi-limit safety will cause the
hi-limit to trip prematurely. Clean the element so that oil may circulate freely between the element
and the thermobulb. Reset the safety by pressing the red button on the bask of the element head.
2
A build-up of cooking debris between the heating element and the thermobulb temperature control
thermostat will cause inconsistent temperatures. Clean the element so that oil may circulate freely
between the element and the thermobulb.
TROUBLESHOOTING SUGGESTIONS
Frypot may be cleaned by
the method described at
right, or with a commercial
frypot cleaner. Be sure to
follow the manufacturer's
directions.
Before cleaning, ALWAYS:
•
Unplug the fryer and
allow to cool.
•
Drain the oil and wipe
out the frypot.
IMPORTANT:
Nickel plated frypot must be
dried completely in order to
prevent rusting, and to
eliminate water contamina-
tion of the cooking oil.
PERIODIC CLEANING
Periodic cleaning is necessary to remove carbonization from the elements
and frypot.
Add 1/2 cup of granulated dishwasher detergent to frypot. Fill with water
to the MAX OIL line.
Lower the element into the frypot and set the control knob to 225ºF
Boil the mixture for five minutes. Turn the control knob to OFF. Allow the
mixture to set in the frypot overnight.
After the soak period, raise the elements and remove any remaining car-
bonization with a stiff bristle brush. Be careful that the capillary tubes of
the thermobulbs are not moved or damaged during cleaning.
Drain the frypot and wash with warm water and mild detergent.
Reinstall the frypot in the fryer. Add 1 quart of vinegar, then fill to the MAX
OIL line with cold water.
Lower the elements into the vinegar solution. Allow to set for 15 minutes.
Drain the frypot and rinse with clean water. Dry the frypot and elements
thoroughly before returning the fryer to operation.
