Perform a Boil Out operation:
Normal maintenance of a fryer requires regular tank cleaning. This process involves draining the
vat of oil and filling with water. Cleaning solution is added, and the control is set to boil by one of
the following methods:
1.7.1 Automatic Boil Entry (Water Detection):
Fill the appliance with water and turn the appliance on. Heat will be applied to the vat warming
the water. This control will detect the presence of water by temperatures not rising above the
boiling point of water; 212°F (100°C). After a time at this temperature, displays will show
Heat will be disabled until the operator responds to this prompt. Pressing the [10/0] key is a
YES response to the boil prompt. If pressed, display will show
. Heat will
maintain vat temperature at 185°F (85°C) for cleaning as long as the control remains on. To
exit boil mode control must be turned off.
Warning: Pressing any other key at the [PRESS 0] [TO BOIL ] prompt is regarded by the
control as a NO response. With this response, the control will apply heat to the vat as if oil
were present in the vat. With water in the vat, a rolling boil will result. This will cause
undesirable foam over condition and, a potential steam burn hazards to operators performing
cleaning operations.
1.7.2 Manual Boil Entry:
After filling an empty vat with water, turn the appliance on. Press the
key and enter key sequence [2], [1], [2]. If control is set to

After the selection of a process, the operator will be prompted with a series of questions verifying
the current state of the fryer battery – as outlined by the “Initiate Check List” below. Failure to
properly comply with the check list may result in unsafe or undesirable conditions. Once all
prompts have been affirmed, the selected automated function will begin.
Initiate Check List

During all automatic sequences listed above, the message ALERT – DRAIN CLOSING –
REMOVE TOOLS will appear with an audible alert for 10 seconds prior to the scheduled
closure of the drain. Remove tools, such as a clean-out rod, from the drain. Failure to do so
could cause damage to the equipment.
If a clean-out rod is accidently caught in a closed drain, DO NOT FORCEFULLY PULL OR
OTHERWISE TRY TO REMOVE THE TOOL. The drain will automatically reopen – remove
caught tool at that time. After 10 seconds, the drain will close again and the automatic
sequence will proceed normally. If the drain is unable to close for a second time, it will
automatically reopen again and stop the return pump.
The display will scroll the message CLEAR BLOCKED DRAIN – RETRY?. If there is a tool
still in the drain, remove it and press the YES key to continue. If there is no tool in the drain,
use a clean-out rod to attempt to clear any drain obstruction, remove the clean-out rod, and
press the YES key to continue. Once the drain is detected fully closed, the automatic
sequence will complete normally.
If after 3 retry attempts, or if the NO key is pressed when prompted to retry, the drain will
remain open and the fryer becomes inoperable. The display will show message OFFLINE –
CALL SERVICE – ERR 2002. Call for service to resolve the blocked drain issue. Other fryers
will be able to operate and filter normally.

Control Filter Lockout (CFL):
This computer includes the Cook Count-based Control Filter Lockout (CFL) function which enforces
operator compliance with regularly scheduled filtering based on the number of cooks performed
since the last filter.
Performing any automated oil filter operation will reset the cook counter. Also, any manual
operation that includes the opening of the drain valve for 20 seconds or more will also reset the
cook counter. The cook counter may be reset at any time, where the computer does not have to

Fresh Oil Supply Monitoring
This computer monitors the Jug-in-Box (JIB) fresh oil supply for oil remaining estimation and oil
supply problems. The computer will monitor utilization of the JIB from on-demand, manual top-offs,
automatic top-offs, and top-off events from other fryers in the battery.

the available fresh oil has depleted. The operator at this time should replace the JIB with a

Note: Only one cooking computer in a fryer battery needs to have the oil remaining monitor enabled
(section 10.11.1).
4.2

JIB Check/Error:
For fryer configurations with the auto top-off option, the JIB error monitor displays the error
message
when an auto top-off event has occurred three
times within 15 minutes for a single frypot. This message indicates to the operator that a JIB or
its hose has been installed improperly, the JIB has been emptied and not replaced, or there is
some other fault condition.
Check the JIB and resolve any fault conditions. Press any cook key to clear the Check JIB
message.
 When the Check JIB message is displayed, auto top-off for that frypot is temporarily
disabled until the message is cleared and acknowledged.

Filter Data Function (FDF) Data Logging:
The FDF feature allows managers to track oil usage and filtering events by operators. These
features can be incorporated into an overall oil management strategy to extend oil life through an
enforced filtering regimen in combination with CFL.
Only successfully completed filter events (Filter & Polish) for both manual filter and autofilter
configurations increase the respective count for FDF data logging. Interrupted filtering sequences,
or opened drains which do not meet FDF triggering criteria, will be logged as incomplete.
5.1.1 Data Logging:
The FDF will store data for three batches of oil – the current batch, and the two past batches.
The use of the Dispose function saves the current batch data to history and resets data logging
values for the new oil batch.
For a batch of oil, the FDF logs the following data:
 Number of Filter Operations
 Number of Polish Operations
 Number of Oil Hours
 Number of Incomplete Filters
Management of oil through methods other than functions Filter, Polish, and Dispose are logged
as incomplete filters.
