Operating the Computer on Split-Vat Fryers
1. Turn ON the cooking computer by pressing the ON/OFF switches . Pressing the left switch
turns on the left side of the computer; pressing the right switch turns on the right side. A product
name (for example, FR FRIES) will appear in the LED display corresponding to the switch
pressed.
2. If the frypot temperature is below 180°F (82°C), the computer will automatically enter a warm-up
cycle (often called a melt cycle). The heating elements will cycle on and off repeatedly, allowing
the vegetable oil to heat gradually, without scorching. During the warm-up cycle, the heating
mode indicator will alternately illuminate and go out as the elements cycle on and off. Within
45 minutes, the computer will exit the warm-up cycle and the heat mode indicator will remain
continuously illuminated.
3. Select the product to be cooked by pressing the left or right product selection switches ,
depending upon the vat in which you wish to cook.
4. Once the frypot temperature is above 180°F (82°C), but still 15°F (8°C) or more below the
setpoint temperature for the product displayed (for example, french fries), the computer will
alternately display LOW TEMP and FR FRIES, and the heating mode indicator will remain
continuously illuminated.
5. The cooking cycle cannot be started until the cooking oil is within ±15°F (8°C) of the
programmed setpoint. When the frypot temperature is within ±15°F (8°C) of the programmed
setpoint, the product name will be displayed continuously, indicating that the fryer is ready to
cook the displayed product.
Viewing the Frypot Temperature (Actual or Setpoint)
To display the actual frypot temperature, press the temperature check switch once. To display the
setpoint temperature, press the switch twice.
