3.1 Equipment Setup and Shutdown Procedures Setup DANGER Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled to the fill line with water or 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 oil. Failure to do so will cause spattering of hot liquid when the oil is heated to cooking temperature.
3000 CONTROLLER CM3.5 Refer to Chapter 4 of this manual for operating instructions for the built-in filtration system. 3.3 Optional Oil Attendant® Automatic Top-Off When the Oil Attendant® top-off oil system is in place on the fryer, oil is continually topped off in the frypots from a reservoir in the cabinet. The reservoir holds a 35 pound box of oil. In a typical operation this will last approximately two days before changing. Components of the system are annotated at the right (see Figure 1).
3.3.3 Routine Oil Changes When the oil reservoir level is low, the controller displays TOPOFF OIL EMPTY in the left display and CONFIRM in the right display. Press S (CONFIRM). Some procedures may differ from photos shown. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for changing the JIB. If using solid shortening see Appendix B in the rear of this manual for instructions. 1. Open the cabinet and slide the JIB from the cabinet (see Figure 4). 2.
OCF30™ SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS CHAPTER 4: FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS WARNING The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures. 4.1 Preparing the Built-In Filtration System for Use 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.
2. Inspect the filter pan connection fitting to ensure that both O-rings are in good condition (see Figure 2). 3. Then in reverse order, place the metal filter screen in the center of the bottom of the pan, then lay a sheet of filter paper on top of the screen, overlapping on all sides (see Figure1). If using a filter pad, ensure the rough side of the pad is up and lay the pad over the screen, making sure that the pad is in between the embossed ridges of the filter pan.
4.2 Filtration ™ A 3000 controller prompts the user when to filter on the OCF30 fryer. After a preset number of cook cycles the controller displays filter now? alternating with YES NO. Follow the instructions on page 1-12 of the 3000 controller manual (819-6872). If NO is selected or a cook cycle is started, the controller will prompt again soon to filter the oil. On demand filtration is used to manually start a filter. See page 1-11 of the 3000 controller manual (819-6872) for the filter menu.
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. DANGER 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. 4. After the oil has drained from the frypot and when prompted, rotate the filter handle towards the “I” to start the pump and begin the filtering process.
WARNING Use caution and wear appropriate safety equipment when resetting the filter pump reset switch. Resetting the switch must be accomplished with care to avoid the possibility of a serious burn caused by careless maneuvering around a drain tube and around a frypot. 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.
2. At each scheduled boil-out, disassemble the leaf filter assembly and place in the frypot being boiled out. Follow the boil-out procedure in Section 5.3.2 of this manual. 3. Allow all filter assembly components to air dry or thoroughly dry with clean towels before reassembling. Reassembly 1. Place the two outer screens together and align their edges (see illustration below). 2. Insert the screens into one of the frame halves (it doesn’t matter which one).
disposal unit is not available, allow the oil to cool to 100°F (38°C), then drain the oil into a METAL stockpot or similar METAL container. DANGER Draining and filtering of cooking oil must be accomplished with care to avoid the possibility of a serious burn caused by careless handling. The oil to be filtered is at or near 350°F (177°C). Ensure all hoses are connected properly and drain handles are in their proper position before operating any switches or valves.
OCF30™ SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS 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.
There are no periodic preventive maintenance checks and services required for your FootPrint Pro Filtration System other than daily cleaning of the filter pan and associated components with a solution of hot water and detergent. If you notice that the system is pumping slowly or not at all, verify that the filter pan screen is on the bottom of the filter pan, with the paper on top of the screen.
DANGER Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with oil. Failure to do so will cause spattering of hot liquid when the oil is heated to cooking temperature. 5.3.3 Clean Detachable Parts and Accessories – Weekly Wipe all detachable parts and accessories with a clean, dry cloth. Use a clean cloth saturated with detergent to remove accumulated carbonized oil on detachable parts and accessories. Rinse the parts and accessories thoroughly with clean water and wipe dry before reinstalling. 5.
• Verify that the temperature and high-limit probes are properly connected, tightened and functioning properly, and that mounting hardware and probe guards are present and properly installed. • Verify that component box and contactor box components (i.e. controller/controller, relays, interface boards, transformers, contactors, etc.) are in good condition and free from oil and other debris. • Verify that component box and contactor box wiring connections are tight and that wiring is in good condition.

OCF30™ SERIES ELECTRIC FRYER APPENDIX A: JIB Preparation with Solid Shortening Option 1. Open right door of fryer and remove brace in JIB cabinet. 2. Position melter in front of cabinet. Loosen bracket on left side of melter, if necessary, to ease placement in the cabinet. 3. Use the provided screws to attach the melter to existing holes in the interior rails of the fryer cabinet on both sides. See figures 1 and 2. 4.
OCF30™ SERIES ELECTRIC FRYER APPENDIX B: Solid Shortening Melter Use Reset oil reservoir system • Ensure shortening melter is on. • Fill melter with shortening. • Allow 2-3 hours for solid shortening to melt. DO NOT attempt to use the top off system with unmelted oil in the top off system.

OCF30™ SERIES ELECTRIC FRYER APPENDIX C: BULK OIL INSTRUCTIONS C.1.1 Bulk Oil Systems Bulk oil systems have large oil storage tanks, typically located in the rear of the restaurant, that are connected to a rear manifold on the fryer. Some are waste only systems, while others are both waste and fresh oil. Waste oil is pumped from the fryer, via the fitting located on the bottom, to the disposal tanks and fresh oil is pumped from the tanks, thru the fitting located on the top, to the fryer (see Figure 1).
The OCF™ fryers, equipped for use with bulk oil systems, use an onboard fresh oil jug typically supplied by the bulk oil vendor. Remove the cap and insert the standard fitting into the jug with the metal cap resting on the lip of the jug. The oil is pumped in and out of the jug through the same fitting (see Figure 3). WARNING Do not add HOT or USED oil to a JIB Figure 3 Operating the Bulk-Oil Equipped Fryer Bulk Oil Rocker Panel JIB Empty Reset Press after refilling JIB with Add Oil button.
4. Unlock dispose valve handle. 5. Pull the oil disposal valve and the pump will engage and empty the filter pan to the waste oil tank. The Waste Full light on the rocker panel will illuminate if the tank is full. 6. Filling with fresh oil? See Fill Vat from Bulk below. If not, switch to Normal Mode at rocker panel C.1.4 Fill Vat from Bulk Tank 1. Ensure vat is empty and the drain valve is closed. 2. At the rocker panel, switch to Bulk Mode. 3. Open the return valve on the empty tank.
