The word [Pre-`] [`Heat] will appear on the display for a few moments. The
menu key indicator light will flash slowly. The temperature of Channel 1 will then
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 menu 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 (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 212 ºF 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. With

[`idle] on the display, press the key for the menu you want to run.

If the selected 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 fryer and press the action menu

key (indicated be the flashing red light.) The menu key indicator light will light up.
Time will count down on the display.

3 If programmed, as the time counts down, a mid-menu alarm message will appear on
