Equipment alert
Be extremely careful during 
this procedure. 
 
 
Test the first (internal) high-
limit control. 
If you decided to test a full 
vat or the right-hand side of a 
split-vat, press the right cook 
channel button marked “1” 
and hold it until the heat indi-
cator button lights up. This 
shows the fryer is calling for 
heat. 
 
If you decided to test the left-
hand side of a split-vat, press 
the left cook channel button 
marked “1” and hold it until 
the heat indicator button 
lights up. This shows the fryer 
is calling for heat. 
 
The right display will alter-
nate between displaying “Hi-
Limit” and the current oil 
temperature until the tempera-
ture reaches 410°F (210°C). 
When the temperature reaches 
410°F (210°C), the display 
will alternate between “Hi-1” 
and the current temperature. 
The heat indicator light will 
go out. If you see these 
things, the control has passed 
the first test. 
 
If the display alternates be-
tween “Hi-1” and “bad,” the 
control has failed the test. 
 
When the test is finished, 
reset the computer by press-
ing the on/off key to turn the 
computer off, and then press 
the on/off key again to turn 
the computer on.

Test second (mechanical) 
high-limit control. 
If you are testing a full vat or 
the right-hand side of a split-
vat, press and hold the right 
cook channel button marked 
“2.” 
 
If you are testing the left-hand 
side of a split-vat, press and 
hold the left cook channel 
button marked “2.” 
 
The display will alternate 
between “Hi-Limit” and the 
current oil temperature until 
the oil temperature reaches 
425°F (218°C). At that tem-
perature the display should 
show “Hi-2.” If it shows “Hi-
2” at that temperature, the 
control has passed the test. 
 
If the display alternates be-
tween “Hi-2” and “bad,” the 
control has failed the test. 
 
Press the on/off button to 
clear the second test and turn 
the computer off.
