sides of the exhaust hood; and
the fryer filter recess area.
On an electric fryer, next use
the putty knife to scrape all
soft grease and hard carbon
from all sheet metal around
the fryer, the standoff piece,
and the fryer stand. Skip to
step 8 after these areas are
cleaned.
On a gas fryer, next use the
putty knife to scrape all soft
grease and hard carbon from
these areas in this order: the
flue restrictor, all sheet metal
around fryer, the removable
gravity blade, the seal angle,
the stand-off piece, and the
fryer stand.
On a gas fryer, be careful not
to drop any soft grease or
hard carbon into the fryer flue
passage while cleaning.
Do not break the fire protec-
tion fusible link in the lower
area of the stack. Breaking the
link will activate the fire ex-
tinguishing system.

go out. If you see these
things, the control has passed
the first test.
If the display alternates be-
tween “Hi-1” and “bad,” the
control has failed the test.
When the test is finished,
reset the computer by press-
ing the on/off key to turn the
computer off, and then press
the on/off key again to turn
the computer on.

Test second (mechanical)
high-limit control.
If you are testing a full vat or
the right-hand side of a split-
vat, press and hold the right
cook channel button marked
“2.”
If you are testing the left-hand
side of a split-vat, press and
hold the left cook channel
button marked “2.”
The display will alternate
between “Hi-Limit” and the
current oil temperature until
the oil temperature reaches
425°F (218°C). At that tem-
perature the display should
show “Hi-2.” If it shows “Hi-
2” at that temperature, the
control has passed the test.
If the display alternates be-
tween “Hi-2” and “bad,” the
control has failed the test.
Press the on/off button to
clear the second test and turn
the computer off.

Decide what to do if either
control failed.
If both controls pass the test,
skip this step.
If the fryer fails the first high-
limit control test but passes
the second one, the vat can be
used if that is absolutely nec-
essary. The computer controls
should be replaced as soon as
possible. Use extreme care
when using the vat in this
case.
If the fryer fails the second
high-limit control test, do not
use the vat until the second
(mechanical) high-limit con-
trol has been replaced. Call a
service technician immedi-
ately.
In the first test, if the heat
indicator light goes out when
the temperature is less than
410°F (210°C), that means
that the high-limit control has
activated at a lower tempera-
ture than normal. You do not
need to replace the computer
controls in this case unless
they are interfering with
proper cooking.
In the second test, if the dis-
play begins to alternate
between “HI 2” and “bad”
when the temperature is less
than 425°F (218°C), that
means that the high-limit con-
trol has activated at a lower
temperature than normal. You
do not need to replace the
high-limit control in this case
unless it is preventing you
from testing the first high-
limit control.

Discard oil.
When you have completed
both tests, allow the oil to
cool for one hour. Then dis-
card the oil. Drain the oil into
an oil removal cart. Use Neo-
prene Gloves
The oil is may be hot.

Verify high-limit controls for all
remaining fryers.
Repeat steps 1 through 10 for
all remaining fryers.
