Procedure
1 Turn fryer off.
Press the on/off button to turn
the fryer off. The display will
show “OFF.”
2 Check most recent recovery
time.
The fryer automatically re-
cords the fryer’s recovery
time each time the vat tem-
perature rises from 250°F
(121°C) to 300°F (149°C).
Press the INFO button. The
display will show the most
recent recovery time in both
displays. Write down the re-
covery time.
3 Compare most recent recovery
time to acceptable recovery
time.
The acceptable recovery time
for electric fryers is less than
1:40 (one minute, forty sec-
onds). The acceptable
recovery time for gas fryers is
less than 2:25 (two minutes,
twenty-five seconds).
If the recovery time you
wrote down is less than the
fryer’s acceptable recovery
time, the fryer’s performance
is acceptable. Skip to step 5.
If the time you wrote down is
more than the fryer’s accept-
able recovery time, the fryer’s
performance is not accept-
able. Go to the next step.
