5. Raise the element and remove the securing probe bracket and metal tie wraps that secure the
probe to the element (see illustration below).
6. Gently pull on the temperature probe and grommet, pulling the wires up the rear of the fryer and
through the element tube assembly.
7. Insert the replacement temperature probe (wires first) into the tube assembly ensuring that the
grommet is in place. Secure the probe to the elements using the bracket which was removed in
Step 5 and the metal tie wraps which were included in the replacement kit.
8. Route the probe wires out of the tube assembly following the element wires down the back of the
fryer through the Heyco bushings to the 12-pin connector C-6. Secure the wires to the sheathing
with wire ties.
9. Insert the temperature probe leads into the 12-pin connector C-6 (see illustration below). For
full-vat units or the right half of a dual-vat unit (as viewed from the rear of the fryer) the red lead
goes into position 3 and the white lead into position 4 of the connector. For the left half of a
dual-vat unit (as viewed from the rear of the fryer), the red lead goes into position 9 and the
white lead into position 10. NOTE: Right and left refer to the fryer as viewed from the rear.
10. Secure any loose wires with wire ties making sure that the lead wires will not interfere with the
movement of the springs. Rotate the elements up and down making sure that movement is not
restricted and that the wires are not pinched.
11. Reinstall the tilt housing and back panels, reposition the fryer under the exhaust hood, and
reconnect it to the electrical power supply to return the fryer to service.
