1.9.3 Indicator Lights
The fryer’s indicator lights serve a diagnostic purpose. All lights are lit when the fryer is working
properly. (The green light on the control panel will cycle on and off as the fryer calls for heat). Use
the following procedures to isolate problems indicated by light combinations.
Turn the temperature dial to 400°F (204°C) to ensure the sensor will demand heat. Check all
indicator lights in the fryer cabinet and on the control panel. [Older units may have power and reset
switches with different colored lights (orange, amber, red, etc.). Substitute the light color of the old
switch with the respective "green light" switch in the following troubleshooting procedures. The
control panel light colors haven’t changed.]
When turning the power switch "ON" and resetting the safety (reset) switch, check for the following:
