CHAPTER 3: OPERATING FRYERS
WITH M100B™ COOKING COMPUTERS
3.1 Equipment Setup and Shutdown Procedures
Setup
WARNING
Fill the frypot to the bottom oil level line with vegetable oil before pressing the
ON/OFF switch to the ON position. Failure to do so could damage the frypot.
0. Fill the frypot with vegetable oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot.
This will allow for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill cold oil any higher than the bottom
line; overflow may occur as heat expands the oil.
0. Ensure that the power cord(s) is/are plugged into the appropriate receptacle(s). Verify that the
face of the plug is flush with the outlet plate, with no portion of the prongs visible.
0. Ensure that the vegetable oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the vegetable oil is at its
programmed cooking temperature. It may be necessary to add vegetable oil to bring the level up
to the proper mark, after the oil has reached the programmed cooking temperature.
CAUTION
Do not add vegetable oil to the fryer between the time the computer is turned on and
the time it reaches programmed cooking temperature. Doing so is likely to cause
RECOVERY LOCKOUT (REC LOC). See Section 3.4.
Shutdown
0. Press the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position (the display will show OFF).
2. Filter vegetable oil and clean fryers.
3. Place the frypot covers on frypots.
3.2 Introduction To The M-100B™ Cooking Computer
The M-100B cooking computer, illustrated on the following page, automatically maintains fryer
temperature to cook products according to preprogrammed cooking specifications. The computer also
acts as a cooking process timer, displaying the remaining cooking time for each product and alerting
the operator by sound and display message to shake or pull the product at the correct time. It also
signals quality control (hold-time) limits. The computer automatically adjusts cooking times to
compensate for variances in product temperature and basket load so that, for example, a full basket of
cold fries will be cooked to the same quality as half a basket of fries at room temperature.
