A. PROGRAMMING THE KEY FUNCTIONS
As each control panel key is pressed, a "beep" will sound. The
illuminated indicator for each key will light whenever the key is
pressed, and while the function associated with that key is active.
FRYER-OFF-FILTER
Allows the fryer to be placed in a normal cook mode (FRYER), an
oil-filtering mode (FILTER), or turned OFF.
TIME
Controls time functions.
TEMP
Controls temperature functions. Data can be read on the solid
state readout.
HEAT
Is lit whenever the burners are energized.
READY
Is lit when the oil is at the programmed temperature.
MANUAL
Is lit whenever MENU key 7 is selected.
ARROW
Up and down keys control the basket lift (after pressing the
BASKET key), and are used to scroll through program settings.
MENU keys 1 thru 7
Allow a choice of six (or seven) pre-programmed time/temp
settings. The solid state control is shipped from the factory with
all seven MENU keys programmed to ZERO time and 325°F
(165°C on units shipped to Europe).
➵MENU keys 1 and 2 incorporate a feature that will inform the
operator when to "drop" the wings and drumsticks during the
cooking cycle. The "drop" feature will allow cooking breasts
and thighs longer than the wings and drumsticks by audibly
beeping, and displaying "drop" on the readout. Your fryer
installer can program this feature into your control upon
request.
➵MENU key 7 is unprogrammed so that special or a one-of-a-
kind product may be programmed any time. Any time the
fryer is ON, press and hold the TIME key and MENU key 7 at
the same time. Press the UP or DOWN arrow key until the
desired time is displayed. If this MANUAL feature is not
desired, MENU key 7 may be programmed in the identical
fashion to MENU keys 1 thru 6.
➵Any selected MENU key can be cancelled by pressing and
holding for 3 seconds.
To program the control for cooking your product, first determine the
cooking time and temperature required to cook that product. Each
MENU key may be programmed for a different time and temperature,
depending upon the requirements of each menu item. It is the sole
responsibility of the end user to determine the time and temperature
requirements of each menu item, and to program each MENU key to the
determined time and temperature in order to insure completely and
safely cooked product.
B. TO PROGRAM MENU TIMES & TEMPERATURES
1.
Make sure fry pot is filled with shortening to the COLD OIL
LEVEL line inscribed on the inside of the fry pot. Do not

readout will display "preheat" followed by the number of the
menu currently selected (the indicator of the selected menu
key will be lit). Press TEMP to verify the programmed
temperature setting of that menu. Press any MENU key to
change to that menu.
3. Enter the programming mode by pressing and holding TIME
and TEMP for 3 seconds, until the beep sounds and "prog" is
displayed on the readout.
