1.1.3 THERMOSTATS
BIPH52/55 and MPH52/55 Series gas fryers have temperature probes located on the front centerline
of each frypot (dual-vat frypots have two probes, one in each vat). In this type of thermostat, the
probe resistance varies directly with the temperature. That is, as the temperature rises, so does
resistance, at a rate of approximately 2 ohms for every 1º F. Circuitry in the controller monitors the
probe resistance and controls burner firing when the resistance exceeds or falls below programmed
temperatures (setpoints). The temperatures are programmed by means of a keypad on the face of the
controller.
BIPH52/55 and MPH52/55 Series fryers are also equipped with a high-limit thermostat. In the event
that the fryer fails to properly control the oil temperature, the high-limit thermostat prevents the fryer
from overheating to the flash point. The high-limit thermostat acts as a normally closed power
switch that opens when exposed to temperatures above 425ºF to 450ºF (218ºC to 232ºC). The
different types of thermostats have different part numbers for CE and Non-CE models, and are not
interchangeable.
1.2 Accessing Fryers for Servicing
DANGER
Moving a fryer filled with oil may cause spilling or splattering of the hot liquid.
Follow the draining instructions in Chapter 4 of the BIPH52/55-MPH52/55 Installation
and Operation manual (P/N 819-6087) before attempting to relocate a fryer for
servicing.
1. Shut off the gas supply to the unit. Unplug the power cords. Disconnect the unit from the gas
supply.
