Initial Preheat
At power-up, the unit will preheat to the temperature value set in the Configuration
Mode [Etype] / [preHt]. The display will show [Pre-`] [`HEat] followed by oil tem-
perature as the oil heats.
When the unit reaches initial preheat temperature, [Ready] will flash once on the dis-
play and an audible tone will sound for 2 seconds. Then [`idle] will appear on the dis-
play. If Real Time Clock option is installed and [setUp] / [Cloc`] is set to [``yes],
the time of day will appear on the display.
Preheat
If in the Configuration Mode [SEtUP] / [ready] has been set to yes, the controller will
detect temperatures and preheat to operating temperature (above relative set point
minus the ready band) as required.
•
Activate the menu by pressing the Start/Stop key.
If the fryer is not at operating temperature, it will preheat. Meanwhile:
The word [Pre-`] [`Heat] will appear on the display for a few moments. The
Start/Stop key indicator light will flash slowly. The temperature of Channel 1 will be
displayed until the operating temperature is reached.
The heat output indicator light - G, just below the display- will light up whenever
the controller is calling for heat.
When the fryer is at operating temperature (above relative set point minus the
ready band) [ready] will appear on the display and the Start/Stop key indicator
light will flash rapidly. You are now ready to cook with the active menu.
If the fryer is at operating temperature, the display goes directly to [ready] with-
out indicating preheat or temperature.
The Melt Cycle
To avoid burning, congealed oil requires a slow heating action. If, in the Configuration
Mode, [etype] / [melt] has been set to on, when the oil temperature is below 212ºF
the heat output will be limited to 10% of full power.
Run a Menu (with preheat feature)
This procedure describes how to run an active menu when the preheat feature is inac-
tive — in other words, when the
[ready]
parameter in the
[setUp]
function of the
Configuration Mode is set to
[``yes]
