Recovery Out of Range (REC LOC)
Recovery time is an indication of the condition of the fryer. When the fryer is first turned on, the
computer records the amount of time it takes to heat the cooking oil from 250°F (121°C) to 300°F
(149°C). Also, anytime the temperature of the oil drops below 180°F (82°C), such as when cold oil is
added, the computer will check the recovery time. If the fryer takes longer than 1 minute and 40
seconds to recover, the display will show REC LOC and the computer will lock out.
To clear the REC LOC condition, enter the program mode (see How to Enter the Program Mode in
on page 3-10) and push the temperature check switch (see diagram below).
It is easy to view the currently recorded recovery time with the computer ON. Press the recovery
recall switch for the frypot you wish to check. On full-vat units, press the right switch.
If REC LOC occurs three or more times within a week, verify that oil is not being added while the
fryer is heating (that is, while a heat mode indicator is illuminated) and that the fryer’s power cord
is fully plugged in. If oil is not being added while the fryer is heating, and the power cord is fully
plugged in, have the fryer checked by a qualified service agent.
