The Melt Cycle
To avoid burning congealed oil (shortening), a slow heating action may be necessary. If
this is desired, be sure that in the Configuration Mode [etype] / [melt] has been set
to [```on. Then, when the oil temperature is below 212ºF the heat output will be lim-
ited to 10% of full power. This reduces the chance of burning congealed oil while it is
heating.
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.
Set the menu as shown earlier.
2.
With [`idle] or time of day on the display, press the Start/Stop key.
If the menu’s preheat condition has not been met, the fryer will preheat until
[ready] appears on the display. If the fryer is at operating temperature, [ready]
will immediately appear on the display.
2. With
[ready] on the display, place the food in the pressure fryer and secure the lid
on the pressure vessel.
3.
Press the Start/Stop key (indicated by the rapidly flashing indicator light).
The Start/Stop indicator light will light up. Time will count down on the display.
When the menu cycle nears completion, pressure will be released from the fryer
based on the time programmed in Configuration Mode, [etype] / [Ptine].
4. When the cooking cycle is finished, the controller goes into idle and the Start/Stop
key indicator light and heat output will switch off.
5. After pressure release time is complete, open lid and carefully and safely remove the
food. The controller will continue to regulate at the last setpoint. The menu key
indicator light will flash slowly.
6. To repeat cooking, repeat steps 1 through 5.
