Compu-Fry Features
Sensitivity or "Stretch and Shrink Time"
Sensitivity or stretch time is a programmable feature that increases or decreases the cook time
countdown based on variations in the oil temperature from the setpoint.
The sensitivity for each product button has 10 settings (0 through 9). A "0" sensitivity setting will
disable the feature (no change in cooking time), while a nine will provide the highest sensitivity or
most change. The correct sensitivity for any product is based on the product, its density, the setpoint
temperature, and the customer’s own requirements.
