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 the Real-time Clock option is installed and [SEtUp] / [Cloc`] is set to
[``yes], the time of day will appear on the display.)
If the preheat condition is met before power-up, the controller goes directly to idle, and
does not display [rEAdy] or sound an audible tone.
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 current 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 active
— in other words, when the
[ready] parameter in the [setUp] function of the
Configuration Mode is set to [``yes] .
1. Select the menu you want to run as shown earlier in “Select a Menu”.
2. With [`idle] or time of day on the display, press the Start/Stop key.
