NOTE: The appearance of your fryer may differ slightly from that
shown depending upon configuration and date of manufacture.

3–1

3.1 Equipment Setup and Shutdown Procedures
Setup
DANGER
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled to the fill line
with water or oil before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will result in irreparable
damage to the elements and may cause a fire.
DANGER
Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with oil. Failure to do so will cause
spattering of hot liquid when the oil is heated to cooking temperature.
WARNING
The BIELA14 is not intended to use solid shortening. Use only liquid shortening with this
fryer. The use of solid shortening will clog the oil lines. The oil capacity of the BIELA14
fryer is 31 lbs. (3.7 gallons/14 liters) for a full-vat and 15.5 lbs. (2.5 gallons/7 liters) for a dualvat at 70°F (21°C).
Prior to filling frypots with oil, press the reset button to ensure all drains are closed.
1. Fill the frypot with cooking oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot. This will
allow for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill cold oil any higher than the bottom line; overflow
may occur as heat expands the oil.
2. Ensure that the power cord(s) is/are plugged into the appropriate receptacle(s). Verify that the face of the
plug is flush with the outlet plate, with no portion of the prongs visible.
3. Ensure that the power is switched on. Some models are equipped with a master switch located behind the
fryer door cabinet on the front panel of the component box, next to the fuse. OFF is displayed on the
computer.
4. Ensure that the computer is switched ON.
5. Ensure that the oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the oil is at its cooking temperature.
Shutdown
1. Turn the fryer off.
2. Filter the oil and clean the fryers (See Chapters 5 and 6).
3. Place the frypot covers on the frypots.
3.2 Operation

3.3 Low Oil Volume Automatic Refill
When the optional Low Oil Volume
(LOV) system is in place on the fryer, oil
is continually topped off in the frypots
from a reservoir in the cabinet. The
reservoir holds a 35 pound box of oil. In a
typical
operation
this
will
last
approximately two days before changing.
Components of the system are annotated
at the right (see Figure 1).
NOTE:
The system is intended to top
off the frypots, not fill them. The frypots
will require manual filling upon startup
and after boil out.
3.3.1 Prepare the System for Use
To prepare the system for its initial
operation, remove cross brace (see Figure
2). Do not replace the screws. Follow
these instructions to prepare the cabinet
for the installation of the first box of oil
and subsequent boxes of oil.

M2007 Button Description and Functions

4.7.1 Navigation Buttons
The menu on the M2007 uses 34and tu buttons to
navigate the various menus and submenus (see Figure 1).
Figure 1

The displays on some menu items scroll text too long to fit
on a single screen.
Some illustrations here show
additional characters to display scrolling message (see
example in Figure 2).

Figure 2

In other illustrations the displays (see Figure 3) are
cropped for clarity (see Figure 4).
When programming, the left screen shows a menu or
submenu item. The right screen is for data entry. Data is
entered with alpha-numeric characters, scrolling through
lists or by toggling between choices.

Figure 3

Right Display
Figure 4

During programming if a button is not pushed within one minute, the computer returns to operation
mode.

4.7.2 Filter, Temperature and Info Buttons
The < FLTR and FLTR > buttons (see Figure 1) are used to filter the left and right vats of a split
vat fryer on demand, while the right FLTR > button is used to filter a full vat on demand. The
FLTR buttons, if pressed once will display the amount of cook cycles remaining until a filtration
prompt. When the FLTR button is pressed twice, the date and time of the last filter will be
displayed.
The TEMP button, if pressed once while the fryer is on, displays current vat
temperature on both sides. If the fryer is off, the display shows the current versions of software. If
the TEMP button is pressed twice while the fryer is on, it shows the setpoint temperatures of the
vats. The INFO button (see Figure 1), if pressed once, shows the recovery time for each vat from
the last test. Recovery displays the time required for the fryer to raise the temperature of the oil 50°F
(28°C) between 250°F (121°C) and 300°F (149°C). If the INFO button is pressed and held for
three seconds it shows information such as usage, filter statistics and last cook cycles (see page 4-51
for more details on the INFO button).

4.7.3 Cook Cycle and Selection Buttons
The
buttons are dual-function buttons shared with
the number 1 and 2 buttons. They are located directly
below the LED displays (see Figure 5). Use these buttons
to select or cancel functions. The button is used to back
out of and quit submenus.

4.10.4 Draining and Refilling Vats, and Disposing of Oil and Boil-Out Solution
When cooking oil is exhausted, drain the oil into an appropriate container for transport to the
disposal container. Frymaster recommends a McDonald’s Shortening Disposal Unit (MSDU). Do
not drain boil out solution into an MSDU. NOTE: If using an MSDU built before January
2004 the filter pan cover must be removed to allow the unit to be positioned beneath the drain. To
remove the cover, lift up on the front edge and pull it straight out of the cabinet. Refer to the
documentation furnished with your disposal unit for specific operating instructions. If a shortening
disposal unit is not available, allow the oil to cool to 100°F (38°C), then drain the oil into a METAL
container with a capacity of FOUR gallons (15 liters) or larger to prevent oil from spilling.

4.10.4.1 Disposal
This option is used to dispose of old oil into either an MSDU or a METAL pot. This option is also
used to drain the boil-out solution into a METAL pot after boil-out is preformed.
1. Remove the filter pan and position the MSDU or METAL container with a capacity of FOUR
gallons (15 liters) or larger under the fryer to drain the oil. If performing a boil-out process, only
drain boil-out solution into a METAL container.
NOTE: Draining boil-out solution into an MSDU will cause damage.

BIELA14 SERIES LOV ELECTRIC FRYER
CHAPTER 5: FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
5.1

Introduction

The FootPrint Pro filtration system allows the oil in one frypot to be safely and efficiently filtered
while the other frypots in a battery remain in operation.
Section 5.2 covers preparation of the filter system for use. Operation of the system is covered in
Section 5.3.
WARNING
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of
the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects
of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.
WARNING
The filter pad or paper MUST be replaced daily.

5.2

Preparing the Filter for Use

1. Pull the filter pan out from the cabinet
and remove the crumb tray, hold-down
ring, filter pad (or paper), and filter
screen. (See Figure 1) Clean all metal
parts with a solution of All Purpose
Concentrate and hot water then dry
thoroughly.
The pan cover must not be removed
except for cleaning, interior access, or to
allow a shortening disposal unit
(MSDU) to be positioned under the
drain. If using an MSDU built before
January 2004 see instructions on page 421.
Figure 1

2. Inspect the filter pan connection fitting
to ensure that both O-rings are in good
condition. (See Figure 2)
Inspect the filter
connection fitting
O-rings.

Figure 2

5-1

3. Then in reverse order, place the metal filter screen in the center of the bottom of the pan, then lay
a filter pad over the screen, ensuring that the rough side of the pad is up. Make sure that the pad
is in between the embossed ridges of the filter pan. Then position the hold down ring on top of
the pad. If using filter paper, lay a sheet of filter paper over the top of the pan overlapping on all
sides. Position the hold down ring over the filter paper and lower the ring into the pan, allowing
the paper to fold up and around the ring as it is pushed to the bottom of the pan. Then sprinkle 1
packet (8-ounces) of filter powder over the filter paper.
4.

Reinstall the crumb tray at the front of the pan. (See Figure 1)
DO NOT USE FILTER POWDER WITH THE PAD!

5. Push the filter pan back into the fryer, positioning it under the fryer. The filtration system is now
ready for use.
DANGER
Do not drain more than one frypot at a time into the built-in filtration unit to avoid
overflow and spillage of hot oil that may cause severe burns, slipping and falling.
DANGER
The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a
fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles can
spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.
WARNING
Do not bang fry baskets or other utensils on the fryer’s joiner strip. The strip is
present to seal the joint between the fry vessels. Banging fry baskets on the strip to
dislodge shortening will distort the strip, adversely affecting its fit. It is designed for
a tight fit and should only be removed for cleaning.
5.3 Auto Intermittent Filtration (AIF)
Auto Intermittent Filtration (AIF) is a feature that, after a number of preset cook cycles or time, will
automatically filter frypots.
An M2007 computer controls the Auto Intermittent
Filtration (AIF) system on the LOV fryer. After a
preset number of cook cycles or time the computer will
display Fltr now (see Figure 3). The blue LED is
activated simultaneously (see Figure 4). The LED will
turn off once a filtration cycle is started. If NO is
selected or a cook cycle is started, the blue LED will go
off and will prompt again soon to filter the oil.

Figure 3

Figure 4

5-2

Press 9 (1) for YES to start filtration and 8 (2) for
NO (see Figure 5).
Figure 5

Note:

If a timer button is activated during this filter prompt it will be as if No is chosen. (See
below.)

If YES is chosen, SKIM VAT is displayed for ten
seconds changing to cnfm fltr (see Figure 6).
Skim the crumbs from the oil with a front to back
motion, removing as many crumbs as possible from
each vat. This is critical to optimizing usable oil life
and quality in the oil.
Figure 6

Note:

If NO is chosen in response to either FLTR now or Cnfm FLTR, filtering is
cancelled and the fryer resumes normal operation. The FLTR now prompt is
displayed once the FLTR AFTR count is satisfied. This sequence repeats until yes is
chosen.

If the filter pan is not fully engaged, the computer displays CHK PAN. Once the filter pan is
pushed fully into place, press the 9 (1) button to continue.
When 9 (1) YES is chosen, the fryer displays
filtering (see Figure 7) and the auto filtration
cycle is started.

Figure 7

Note:

If a vat is filtering another vat will not filter until the first vat is finished filtering. This
prevents multiple vats from filtering at the same time or multiple vats from being
inoperable.

Once filtering is complete the computer display
changes to low temp until the fryer reaches
setpoint (see Figure 8).
Figure 8

Once fryer reaches setpoint and the computer display
changes to the product or dashed lines, the fryer is
ready for use (see Figure 9).
The complete filtering process takes roughly three
minutes.
5-3

Figure 9

DANGER
Keep all items out of drains. Closing actuators may cause damage or injury.

5.4
Troubleshooting the Auto Intermittent Filtration (AIF)
5.4.1 Incomplete AIF
Should the AIF procedure fail for any reason after the second filter cycle after the filter pad was
changed - the oil does not completely return to the vat, the drain valve is blocked, an actuator does
not operate, etc - a signal is generated telling the computer that something is wrong.
The computer displays get mgr for ten seconds then
displays enter mgr code (see Figure 10).

CHAPTER 6: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
6.1

Cleaning the Fryer
DANGER

The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a fireproof
container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles can spontaneously
combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.

DANGER
Never attempt to clean the fryer during the frying process or when the frypot is filled with hot
oil. If water comes in contact with oil heated to frying temperature, it will cause spattering of
the oil, which can result in severe burns to nearby personnel.

WARNING
Use McDonald’s All Purpose Concentrate. Read the directions for use and precautionary
statements before use. Particular attention must be paid to the concentration of cleaner and
the length of time the cleaner remains on the food contact surfaces.

6.1.1

Clean Inside and Outside of the Fryer Cabinet – Daily

Clean inside the fryer cabinet with a dry, clean cloth. Wipe all accessible metal surfaces and components to
remove accumulated oil and dust.
Clean the outside of the fryer cabinet with a clean, damp cloth soaked with McDonald’s All Purpose
Concentrate. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth.

6.1.2

Clean the Built-in Filtration System – Daily
WARNING
Never drain water into the filter pan. Water will damage the filter pump.

There are no periodic preventive maintenance checks and services required for your FootPrint Pro Filtration
System other than daily cleaning of the filter pan and associated components with a solution of hot water and
McDonald’s All Purpose Concentrate.

6.1.3

Clean Behind Fryers – Weekly

Clean behind fryers in accordance with the procedure detailed in maintenance requirement card (MRC14A).

6.1.4

Clean the Frypot and Heating Elements – Quarterly
DANGER

Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled to the fill line
with water or cooking oil before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will result in
irreparable damage to the elements and may cause a fire.

6–1

Boiling Out the Frypot
Before the fryer is first used, it should be boiled out to ensure that residue from the manufacturing
process has been eliminated. Also, after the fryer has been in use for a period of time, a hard film of
caramelized cooking oil will form on the inside of the frypot. This film should be periodically
removed by following the boil-out procedure contained in maintenance requirement card
(MRC14A). Refer to page 4-37 For specific details on setting up the computer for boil-out
operation.
Replace the O-rings
Refer to McDonald’s MRC cards for specific details on replacing the O-rings on the filter
connection.
6.1.5

Clean Detachable Parts and Accessories – Weekly

Wipe all detachable parts and accessories with a clean, dry cloth. Use a clean cloth saturated with a
solution of McDonald’s All Purpose Concentrate to remove accumulated carbonized oil on
detachable parts and accessories. Rinse the parts and accessories thoroughly with clean water and
wipe dry before reinstalling.
6.1.6 Check M2007 Computer Set Point Accuracy- Bi-Weekly
1. Insert a good-grade thermometer or pyrometer probe into the oil, with the end touching the fryer
temperature-sensing probe.
2. When the computer display shows a series of dashes “----” or a product name (indicating that the
frypot contents are within the cooking range), press the
temperature of the oil as sensed by the temperature probe.
3. Press the

switch once to display the

switch twice to display the set point.

4. Note the temperature on the thermometer or pyrometer. Actual temperature and pyrometer
readings should be within ± 5ºF (3ºC) of each other. If not, contact a Factory Authorized Service
Center for assistance.
6.2

Annual/Periodic System Inspection

This appliance should be inspected and adjusted periodically by qualified service personnel as part
of a regular kitchen maintenance program.
Frymaster recommends that a Factory Authorized Service Technician inspect this appliance at least
annually as follows:
Fryer
●

Inspect the cabinet inside and out, front and rear for excessive oil.

●

Verify that the heating element wires are in good condition and that leads have no visible fraying or
insulation damage and that they are free of oil.

6–2

●

Verify that heating elements are in good condition with no carbon/caramelized oil build-up. Inspect the
elements for signs of extensive dry-firing.

●

Verify that the tilt mechanism is working properly when lifting and lowering elements and that the
element wires are not binding and/or chafing.

●

Verify the heating-element amp-draw is within the allowed range as indicated on the appliance’s rating
plate.

●

Verify that the temperature and high-limit probes are properly connected, tightened and functioning
properly, and that mounting hardware and probe guards are present and properly installed.

●

Verify that component box and contactor box components (i.e. computer/controller, relays, interface
boards, transformers, contactors, etc.) are in good condition and free from oil and other debris.

●

Verify that component box and contactor box wiring connections are tight and that wiring is in good
condition.

●

Verify that all safety features (i.e. contactor shields, reset switches, etc.) are present and functioning
properly.

●

Verify that the frypot is in good condition and free of leaks and that the frypot insulation is in serviceable
condition.

●

Verify that all wiring harnesses and connections are tight and in good condition.

Built-In Filtration System
●

Inspect all oil-return and drain lines for leaks and verify that all connections are tight.

●

Inspect the filter pan for leaks and cleanliness. If there is a large accumulation of crumbs in the crumb
basket, advise the owner/operator that the crumb basket should be emptied into a fireproof container and
cleaned daily.

●

Verify that all O-rings and seals are present and in good condition. Replace O-rings and seals if worn or
damaged.

●

Check filtration system integrity as follows:
−

Verify that filter pan cover is present and properly installed.

−

With the filter pan empty, place each vat into return to pan selection, one at a time. Verify proper
functioning of each oil return valve by activating the filter pump using the return to pan selection.
Verify that the pump activates and that bubbles appear in the cooking oil of the associated frypot.

−

Verify that the filter pan is properly prepared for filtering, then drain a frypot of oil heated to 350°F
(177°C) into the filter pan by using the drain to pan selection (see page 4-27). Now using the fill pot
from pan selection (see page 4-29), allow all oil to return to the frypot (indicated by bubbles in the
cooking oil). Press the check button when all oil is returned. The frypot should have refilled in
approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

CHAPTER 7: OPERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING
7.1 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.

Before calling a service agent or the Frymaster HOTLINE (1-800-24-FRYER):
•

Verify that electrical cords are plugged in and that circuit breakers are on.

•

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.

when first started.

Fryer is in melt-cycle mode

Fryer stops heating
with heat indicator
ON.

The high-limit thermostat or
contactor has failed.

Corrective Action
This is normal for fryers equipped
with M2007 computers. The
default operational mode for these
controllers is for the elements to
cycle on and off until the
temperature in the frypot reaches
180ºF (82ºC). In M2007
computers, low temp will
appear in the display when in the
melt-cycle mode. The melt-cycle
can be cancelled by pressing and
holding the #2 product button until
it chirps. EXIT MLT is displayed
with YES NO. Select (1) YES
to exit the melt cycle.
The fact that the heat indicator is
ON indicates that the computer is
functioning properly and is calling
for heat. The high-limit thermostat
functions as a normally closed
switch. If the thermostat fails, the
"switch" opens and power to the
elements is shut off.
If the
contactor fails to close, no power is
supplied
to
the
elements.
Determining which component has
failed is beyond the scope of
operator troubleshooting.
