1.7 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

4 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.

4.1 JIB Oil Remaining:

Low JIB message will show and toggle with the current fryer state when the

available fresh oil has dropped below the Low JIB configuration value (section 10.11.3).

Replace JIB message will show and toggle with the current fryer state when

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

new, full supply.

 It is not recommended to replace JIB with a less-than-full supply.

To reset the JIB Oil Remaining monitor once the supply has been replaced:

 Push-and-hold until is displayed.

 Press product key [6] (YES) to reset the fresh oil supply to the Max JIB configuration value

(section 10.11.2).

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.

5 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.
