7.3 Main Burner Malfunctions (cont.)
D. Fryer will not reach the temperature setting and/or runs erratically.
1. Incorrect location of sensor probe or defective temperature sensor.
2. Loose wiring/wire connection.
E. Fryer shortening temperature cannot be controlled; fryer runs at high-limit temperature.
1. Defective operating thermostat or temperature probe; Call Authorized Service Agent.
7.4 Electronic Thermostat Controller Calibration
The electronic thermostat controller maintains a specific cooking temperature through a sensing
probe mounted in the frypot. If the actual temperature of the shortening varies from the controller
dial setting, loosen the knob setscrew and rotate the knob until it agrees with that of the actual
shortening temperature. When obtaining actual shortening temperature, ensure that the thermometer
is inserted within 1 inch of the frypot-mounted probe. If proper calibration cannot be achieved,
contact Authorized Service Agent for repair.
