Melt Options (GRD Series)
When using solid shortening in the fryer, the CY S (solid shortening) option must be used. Solid
shortening must be gently warmed to a liquid state before heating to frying temperatures. Melting solid
shortening without using this option will damage the fry tank and scorch the shortening.
The controller has three options for bring shortening up to temperature:
CY L (Liquid shortening) - For slowly bringing liquid shortening up to temperature.
CY S (Solid shortening) - For slowly melting solid shortening.
CY O (No melt) - For immediately bringing liquid shortening up to fry temperature.
Upon startup, if the CY L or CY S melt option is selected and the shortening temperature is below 135°F
(57°C), CY is displayed in the window and the fryer cycles to bring the shortening up to temperature.
If the shortening temperature is over 135°F (57°C), HEAT is displayed in the window and the fryer
quickly heats up to set temperature.
The temperature is displayed in the window when the fryer has reached the set temperature. After the
first initial startup, the fryer always defaults to the last entered melt option.
