1.12 Service Tasks
Covered in this section are crew and manager service tasks used in stores such as High Limit Test, E-Log (error log), password setup, and functions to copy menus to and from the fryer from USB using menu connect.

1.12.1 High Limit Test The high-limit test mode is used to test the high limit circuit. The high-limit test will destroy the oil. It should only be done with old oil. Shut the fryer off and call for service immediately if the temperature reaches 460°F (238°C) without the second high-limit tripping and the controller displays HIGH LIMIT FAILURE DISCONNECT POWER with an alert tone during testing.

The test is cancelled at any time by turning the fryer off. When the fryer is turned back on, it returns to the operating mode and displays the product.

4. Select LEFT VAT or RIGHT VAT for split vats.
5. Press and hold the Press and Hold button to begin high limit test. 6. While pressing and holding the button the vat begins to heat. The controller
displays the actual vat temperature during the test. When the temperature reaches 410°F ± 10° F (210°C ± 12°C), the controller displays HOT HI-1 (ex. 410F) and continues heating. NOTE: In controllers used in the European Union (those with the CE mark) or in the United Kingdom (those with the UKCA mark), the temperature is 395°F (202°C) when the controller displays HOT HI-1. 7. While continuing to press and hold the button, the fryer continues heating until the high limit opens. Generally, this happens once the temperature reaches 423°F to 447°F (217°C to 231°C) for non-CE high limits and 405°F to 426°F (207°C to 219°C) for CE/UKCA high limits. 8. Release the button. The vat stops heating and the controller displays the current temperature setting until the temperature cools below 400°F (204°C). Press the power button to cancel the alarm. 9. If the controller displays this message, disconnect power to the fryer and immediately call for service.
10. After a high limit test, once the vat cools below 400°F (204°C), dispose of the oil.

1.12.2 Manager Functions
1.12.2.1 E-Log The E-LOG function is used to view the ten (10) most recent error codes encountered on the fryer. These codes are displayed with the most recent errors displayed first. The error code, time and date are displayed.

2.1.5 OQS (Oil Quality Sensor) Filter
The OQS filter is a function that filters the vat that takes an oil reading to test the TPM (Total Polar Materials) in the oil using the built in OQS sensor. This function is used to determine when the oil has reached the end of its life and when to dispose. Ensure that the filter pad or paper is replaced daily to keep the system operating correctly. For proper operation in high volume or 24hour stores, the filter pad or paper must be changed twice a day.
If CLOSE DISPOSE VALVE is displayed, close the dispose valve. Press the X (NO) button to exit.

CHAPTER 3:

OPERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING

3.1 Introduction
This section provides an easy reference guide to some of the common problems that may occur during the operation of this equipment. The troubleshooting guides that follow are intended to help correct, or at least accurately diagnose, problems with this equipment. Although the chapter covers the most common problems reported, you may encounter problems that are not covered. In such instances, the Frymaster Technical Services staff will make every effort to help you identify and resolve the problem.
When troubleshooting a problem, always use a process of elimination starting with the simplest solution and working through to the most complex. Never overlook the obvious ­ anyone can forget to plug in a cord or fail to close a valve completely. Most importantly, always try to establish a clear idea of why a problem has occurred. Part of any corrective action involves taking steps to ensure that it doesn’t happen again. If a controller malfunctions because of a poor connection, check all other connections, too. If a fuse continues to blow, find out why. Always keep in mind that failure of a small component may often be indicative of potential failure or incorrect functioning of a more important component or system.
If you are in doubt as to the proper action to take, do not hesitate to call the Frymaster Technical Service Department or your local Frymaster Factory Authorized Servicer for assistance.
Before calling a servicer or the Frymaster HOTLINE (1-800-551-8633): · Verify that electrical cords are plugged in and that circuit breakers are on. · Verify that gas line quick-disconnects are properly connected. · Verify that any gas line cutoff valves are open. · Verify that frypot drain valves are fully closed. · Have your fryer’s model and serial numbers ready to give to the technician assisting you.
DANGER Hot oil will cause severe burns. Never attempt to move this appliance when filled with hot oil or to transfer hot oil from one container to another.
DANGER This equipment should be unplugged when servicing, except when electrical circuit tests are required. Use extreme care when performing such tests.
This appliance may have more than one electrical power supply connection point. Disconnect all power cords before servicing.
Inspection, testing, and repair of electrical components should be performed by an authorized service agent only.
