PROBLEM REMEDY
DISPLAY not lit.
➔Check the service power breaker. Reset if tripped. If breaker continues to trip, contact a licensed
electrician to repair field wiring (if that is the cause), or contact an authorized service agency.
➔Fryer is at programmed temperature. Display reads "00:00". Check programmed temperature by
pressing TEMP key. If programmed temperature is too low, adjust temperature or select another
menu key. (See
Operating Instructions for Solid State Control, in this manual).
➔Fryer is in CLEAN mode. If CLEAN indicator is lit and display reads "boil", press power switch
to the OFF position, wait 10 seconds, then press power switch back to the FRYER position.
➔Fryer is in STANDBY mode. If the STANDBY indicator is lit, press STANDBY key for 3 seconds
until a beep sounds. Press and release a MENU key to resume cooking.
➔If the above instructions do not solve problem, contact an authorized service agency for repair.
➔Check the hi-limit thermostat. Reset by firmly pressing the hi-limit reset button on the lower
control panel until it "clicks".
FIRE HAZARD/HOT OIL
The hi-limit thermostat is a fire protection device. If tripping persists, clean the space
between the hi-limit bulb and the element to enhance oil flow and facilitate reset.
Otherwise, contact your authorized service agency for repairs. Do not attempt to
bypass or hold in the button of the hi-limit thermostat, or a fire may result.
➔Probable cause is a damaged internal component. Contact an authorized service agency.
➔Cradle lift must be lowered manually, but will raise automatically at the end of a cook cycle.
During the period between cook cycle, in the PAUSE mode or during PREHEAT, the cradle lift is
lowered by pressing BASKET key, then DOWN arrow, and raised by pressing BASKET key, then
UP arrow.
➔The lift motor has a 10 second delay (after an up or down command is entered) until it will accept
another command. The lift motor is de-energized during a cook cycle.
➔At the end of a cook cycle, when the time remaining on the readout reaches 00:00, the cradle lift
should raise.
➔If the cradle lift does not behave as described above, probable cause is a damaged control, an
internal adjustment or one or more damaged internal components. Contact a factory authorized
service agency for repair.
➔Verify that the power switch (upper control panel) is in the
FILTER position.
➔Press the red reset button on the filter pump motor,
accessible on the back of the fryer. If the pump motor
continues to trip out, or if no other cause is apparent for the
pump's failure to run, contact a factory authorized service
agency.
BURN HAZARD • HOT OIL SPLATTER
Protective clothing and gloves must be worn
whenever servicing the filter during the filtering
cycle. Hot oil may splatter which could result in
serious injury.
