Frymaster 17ECS Cooktop User Manual

LOW WATER SENSING automatically de-energizes the heating element if the water in the
cookpot drops too low. When the water level in the cookpot is below the sensor probes, such as
when draining and cleaning the cookpot, the controller display will read LO.
NORMAL WATER LEVEL SENSING, on units configured with the AutoFill feature,
automatically adds water during or after a cooking cycle if the water level is low. With this
automatic filling feature, the water level does not have to be continuously monitored. The cookpot
always has the correct amount of water.
3.1.2 Operating Instructions
CAUTION
If this is the first time the unit is being used after installation, refer to Section 3.4, Boil Out
Procedure.
Before turning the cooker on, ensure that:
the unit is connected to the water supply.
the water supply is turned on.
the unit is plugged into an appropriate outlet.
the electrical power supply is turned on.
1. Turn the controller on by pressing the Power switch.
2. The unit will automatically enter the simmer mode and the simmer mode indicator will
illuminate. This will bring the cooker to “stand-by” temperature. To enter the boil mode, press
the Boil Mode switch.
3. Enter the desired cooking time using the numeric keypad. The time entered appears in the LED
display.
4. When ready to initiate a cooking cycle, press the Start Timer
switch then press the Boil Mode
switch. The basket lift will automatically lower the basket or portion cups into the cookpot
and the LED display will begin to count down. Simultaneously, the water will be raised to the
boiling point. At the end of the cooking cycle, an alarm will sound briefly to alert you and the
basket lift will automatically raise the basket or portion cups out of the water.
5. The display will automatically return to the previously set cooking time and the unit will return
to the simmer mode. If the same time is desired for the next batch, simply repeat Step 4. If a
different cooking time is desired, follow Steps 3 and 4.
6. To initiate the automatic skimming (Autoskim) feature, press the Skim
switch.
3.1.3 Setting the Controller Transition Temperature/Boil Intensity
You may adjust the cooker’s Transition Temperature/Boil Intensity to prevent boilover on
