TROUBLESHOOTING AQUALERT Aqualert description: Aqualert is software built into the Collectramatic® fryer controls that automatically detects the presence of water in the cookpot and prevents the fryer from being used. Aqualert is included in all electronically controlled fryers with Winston-manufactured controls. Aqualert works by sensing the rate of the rise in temperature of a liquid inside the fryer cookpot. Water heats up more slowly than cooking oil.
TROUBLESHOOTING WARNING: This appliance utilizes electrical voltages that have the potential to produce fatal electrical shocks; utilizes electrical oil heaters that can cause painful and scarring burns; and emits hot vapors that have the potential for painful burns. To avoid, have appliance installed only by licensed electrician and serviced only by trained servicers. Make this page available to the servicer.
