DANGER Hot oil can cause severe burns. Avoid contact. Under all circumstances, oil must be removed from the fryer before attempting to move it to avoid spills, falls, and severe burns. Fryers may tip and cause personal injury if not secured in a stationary position. 2. Close fryer drain-valve(s) and fill frypot with water to the bottom oil level line. 3. Boil out frypot(s) in accordance with the instructions in Section 5.1.4 of this manual. 4. Drain, clean, and fill frypot(s) with cooking oil.
BIPH14 / MPH14 SERIES ELECTRIC FRYER CHAPTER 3: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 3.1 Equipment Setup and Shutdown Procedures Setup DANGER Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with water or vegetable oil before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will result in irreparable damage to the elements and may cause a fire. DANGER Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with vegetable oil.
BIPH14 / MPH14 SERIES ELECTRIC FRYER CHAPTER 4: FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS 4.1 Introduction The FootPrint Pro filtration system allows the oil in one frypot to be safely and efficiently filtered while the other frypots in a battery remain in operation. Section 4.2 covers preparation of the filter system for use. Operation of the system is covered in section 4.3.
3. Then in reverse order, place the metal filter screen in the center of the bottom of the pan, then lay a filter pad over the screen, ensuring that the rough side of the pad is up. Make sure that the pad is in between the embossed ridges of the filter pan. Then position the hold down ring on top of the pad. If using filter paper, lay a sheet of filter paper over the top of the pan overlapping on all sides.
DANGER NEVER attempt to clear a clogged drain valve from the front of the valve! Hot oil will rush out creating the potential for severe burns. DO NOT hammer on the drain valve with the cleanout rod or other objects. Damage to the ball inside will result in leaks and will void the Frymaster warranty. Open valve by moving handle to the right. 2. After the oil has drained from the frypot, turn the filter handle to the ON position to start the pump and begin the filtering process.
DANGER The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles can spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material. WARNING Do not bang fry baskets or other utensils on the fryer’s joiner strip. The strip is present to seal the joint between the fry vessels. Banging fry baskets on the strip to dislodge shortening will distort the strip, adversely affecting its fit.
BIPH14 / MPH14 SERIES ELECTRIC FRYER CHAPTER 5: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE 5.1 Cleaning the Fryer DANGER The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles can spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material. DANGER Never attempt to clean the fryer during the frying process or when the frypot is filled with hot oil.
5.1.4 Clean the Frypot and Heating Elements – Weekly DANGER Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with water or vegetable oil before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will result in irreparable damage to the elements and may cause a fire. Boiling-Out the Frypot Before the fryer is first used, it should be boiled out to ensure that residue from the manufacturing process has been eliminated.
● Verify that component box and contactor box components (i.e. computer/controller, relays, interface boards, transformers, contactors, etc.) are in good condition and free from oil migration build-up and other debris. ● Verify that component box and contactor box wiring connections are tight and that wiring is in good condition. ● Verify that all safety features (i.e. contactor shields, drain safety switches, reset switches, etc.) are present and functioning properly.
BIPH14 / MPH14 SERIES ELECTRIC FRYER CHAPTER 6: OPERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING 6.1 Introduction This section provides an easy reference guide to some of the common problems that may occur during the operation of this equipment. The troubleshooting guides that follow are intended to help correct, or at least accurately diagnose, problems with this equipment. Although the chapter covers the most common problems reported, you may encounter problems that are not covered.
6.2 Troubleshooting 6.2.1 Computer and Heating Problems Problem Probable Causes A. Computer not turned on. B. No Power to the fryer. No Display on Computer. C. Computer has failed. Corrective Action A. Press the ON/Off switch to turn the computer on. B. This fryer has two cords: a computer power cord and a main power cord. If the computer cord is not plugged in, the computer will not activate. Verify computer power cord is plugged in and that circuit breaker is not tripped. C. Call FASC. D.
Problem Continued from previous page. Fryer does not heat after filtering. Fryer heats until high limit trips with heat indicator ON. Fryer heats until high limit trips without heat indicator ON. Fryer stops heating with heat indicator ON. Probable Causes D. One or more other components have failed. Drain valve is open. Corrective Action D.
6.2.2 Error Messages and Display Problems Problem M2000 display is in wrong temperature scale (Fahrenheit or Celsius). Probable Causes Incorrect display option programmed. M2000 display shows HI. Fryer is 15ºF (8ºC) above setpoint. M2000 display shows HOT. Frypot temperature is more than 410ºF (210ºC) or, in CE countries, 395ºF (202ºC). M2000 display shows LOW TEMP. Frypot temperature is between 180°F (82°C) and 315°F (157°C). M2000 display shows PROBE FAILURE.
Problem M2000 display shows HI 2 BAD. Display shows with alarm sounding. Display shows with alarm sounding. Heating indicator is on, but no heat. Display shows , heating indicator cycles on and off normally. Probable Causes Computer in hi-limit test mode. This is displayed only during a test of the hi-limit circuit and indicates that the hi-limit has failed. DO NOT OPERATE THE FRYER! Call FASC. Damaged computer wiring harness or connector. Call FASC A. Drain valve not fully closed. A.
6.2.
Problem Continued from previous page. Probable Causes Corrective Action B. In order to properly filter, the oil or shortening should be at or near 350ºF (177ºC). At temperatures lower than this, the oil/shortening becomes too thick to pass through the filter B. Attempting to filter with oil or medium easily, resulting in shortening that is not hot enough. much slower oil return and eventual overheating of the filter pump motor.
