Fryer repeatedly
cycles on and off when
first started.
Fryer is in melt-cycle mode.
This is normal for fryers equipped
with computers and digital
controllers. The elements cycle on
and off until the temperature in the
frypot reaches 180°F (82°C). In CM
III.5 computers, CYCL will appear in
the display when in the melt-cycle
mode. Refer to the separate
Frymaster Fryer Controllers User's
Manua or CM4-S manuall for the
procedure for canceling the melt-
cycle.
In fryers equipped with Solid State
(Analog) controllers, the melt-cycle is
controlled manually by means of the
rocker switch to the right of the
temperature control knob. If not using
solid shortening, turn off the melt
cycle feature with rocker switch.
