WEEKLY CHECKS AND SERVICES
Check Recovery Time (Fryers with Computers Only)
Recovery Time is the amount of time it takes the fryer to increase the frypot temperature from 275°F
(135°C) to 325°F (163°C). It is a measure of the fryer’s efficiency, and should be no more than 2
minutes and 30 seconds for MJP35 and MJP45 model fryers, and 3 minutes and 30 seconds for
MJPCF Series fryers. The recovery time on models having CM III computers is automatically
measured by the computer.
To view the recovery time on models equipped with CM III computers, press the Program Mode
switch . will appear in the left display. Enter the code number
(1652) on the
number keys. The latest recovery time will appear in both displays for 5 seconds.
QUARTERLY CHECKS AND SERVICES
Drain and Clean Frypot
During normal usage of your fryer, a deposit of carbonized cooking oil or shortening will gradually
form on the inside of the frypot. This deposit must be periodically removed to maintain your fryer’s
efficiency.
DANGER
Allow oil/shortening to cool to 100°F (38°C) or lower before draining to an
appropriate container for disposal.
If your fryer is not equipped with the built-in FootPrint Pro system, the cooking oil or shortening
must be drained into another suitable container. For safe, convenient draining and disposal of used
cooking oil or shortening, Frymaster recommends the use of our shortening disposal unit (SDU). The
SDU is available through your local distributor.
Clean Detachable Parts and Accessories
As with the frypot, a deposit of carbonized oil/shortening will accumulate on detachable parts and
accessories such as baskets, sediment trays, or fishplates
Wipe all detachable parts and accessories with a clean cloth dampened with a detergent solution.
Rinse and thoroughly dry each part.
Check Calibration of Thermostat/Solid State (Analog) Controller Temperature Control Knob
(NOTE: This check applies only to units equipped with Thermostat or Solid State (Analog)
Controllers.)
1. Ensure frypot is filled with cooking oil or melted shortening.
2. Set the temperature control knob to frying temperature.
