5. Remove the tilt housing and back panels from the fryer. The tilt housing must be removed first in
order to remove the upper back panel. To remove the tilt housing, raise the elements and allow
them to rest on the basket support racks (see photo on page 7-3).
Next, remove the hex head screws from the rear edge of the housing. The housing can then be
lifted straight up and off the fryer. Lift up on the upper back panel to disengage the tabs on its
upper corners from the cutouts in the fryer frame.
6. Dismount the top cap by removing the hex head screws at each end that secure it to the control
panel frame.
7. Remove the hex head screw that secures the front of the frypot to the cabinet cross brace.
8. Remove the top-connecting strip that covers the joint with the adjacent frypot.
9. Open the drain tube cleanout covers, unscrew the retainer nuts from the drain valve nipples, and
remove the tube assembly from the fryer. (If replacing a frypot over the built-in filtration
system, unscrew the vacuum-breaker tube fitting from the drain tube assembly also.)
10. Remove the covers from the drain safety switch(es) and disconnect the switch wiring at the
switch(es).
11. At the rear of the fryer, unplug the C6 connector and, using a pin pusher, disconnect the high-
limit thermostat leads.
12. Disconnect the oil return flexline(s) at the frypot end(s).
13. Raise the elements to the full up position and disconnect the element springs.
14. Remove the machine screws and nuts that secure the tilt plate and element assembly to the
frypot. Carefully lift the tilt plate and element assembly from the frypot and secure it to the cross
brace on the rear of the fryer with wire ties or tape.
15. Carefully lift the frypot from the fryer and place it upside down on a stable work surface.
16. Recover the drain valve(s), oil return flexline connection fitting(s), and high-limit thermostat(s)
from the frypot. Apply Loctite
™
PST 567 or equivalent sealant to the threads of the recovered
parts and install them in the replacement frypot.
17. Carefully lower the replacement frypot into the fryer. Reinstall the hex head screw removed in
step 7 to attach the frypot to the fryer.
18. Position the tilt housing and element assembly in the frypot and reinstall the machine screws and
nuts removed in step 14.
19. Reconnect the oil return flexlines to the frypot, and replace aluminum tape, if necessary, to
secure heater strips to the flexlines.
20. Insert the high-limit thermostat leads disconnected in step 11 (see illustration on page 7-4 for pin
