Filter Control
IMPORTANT: Filter Tracking and Global Filter Cycles settings have been moved from Filter Control Programming Mode to CFA Programming Mode.
The Filter Control mode allows the parameters during a filter cycle to be modified for the best results depending on the oil type. Each parameter is grouped into a section that controls a particular settings. To access the Filter Control menu do the following:
- Press and hold the P button until *MAIN* displays.
- Press the P button again. The 4. PROG menu displays.
- Select 4. PROG.
- Type 123. The 6. FLTR CTRL menu displays.
- Select 6. FLTR CTRL.
Use the left or right arrow to navigate through the options.

Quick Filter Settings | ||
NOTE:
| ||
These parameters control the Quick Filter operation. The Quick Filter has three basic steps:
| ||
3. FILL - Closes the drain fully and runs the filter pump to refill the pot. Watches for a temperature rise on the upper temperature probe (level probe) to indicate that the pot has refilled. Runs the pump a bit longer to get the last of the oil out of the drain pan, then turns the pump off. | ||
FC-1 | FILTER TRACKING MODE | There are two options, GLOBAL and MIXED MODE.
A new Info button status screen has been added to display how many cook cycles re- main before the next auto-filter is activated if Global mode, or to indicate the current accumulated filter usage as a percent, accumulating up toward 100% at which point the next auto-filter is activated if Mixed mode. NOTE: The control defaults to Global Mode filtering, with the global Filter After X Cooks parameter set to 1. |
FC-1A | QUICK FILTER: AFTER X COOKS | Controls automatic activation of the Quick Filter after the specified number of cook cycles.
|
FC-2 | QUICK FILTER: DROP OIL: TIME | During the Drop cycle, controls the duration of time the vat drains.
|
FC-3 | QUICK FILTER: DROP OIL: DRAIN OPENING | During the Drop cycle, controls how far to open the drain valve.
|
FC-4 | QUICK FILTER: FILTER: TIME | At the end of the Drop cycle, controls how long the filter pump runs for the specified fil- ter time.
|
FC-5 | QUICK FILTER: FILTER: DRAIN POSITION | At the end of the Drop cycle, controls how far the drain closes to a partially open position.
|
FC-6 | QUICK FILTER: FILL: DETECT AT LEVEL PROBE, KEEP PUMPING | When refilling the pot, controls how long to keep pumping after the oil initially reaches or splashes on the upper probe and the ex- pected temperature rise is observed.
|
FC-7 | QUICK FILTER: NORMAL FILL TIME | The expected time it takes to refill the vat at the end of a Quick Filter.
|
FC-8 | QUICK FILTER: FILL: NO DE- TECT: MAX PUMP | If the fryer pumps for this amount of time during the Fill phase without observing a temperature rise on the upper temperature probe, the control turns the pump off, and asks IS POT FILLED?.
|
Daily Filter Settings | ||
NOTE:
| ||
FC-9 | DAILY FILTER: DROP OIL: TIME | During the Drop cycle, controls the duration of time the vat drains.
|
FC-11 | DAILY FILTER: FILL: NO DETECT: MAX PUMP | If the fryer pumps for this amount of time during the FILL phase without observing a temperature rise on the upper temperature probe, the control turns the pump off, and asks IS POT FILLED?. If pot is not filled completely, press NO and the pump attempts to fill further.
|
Polish Settings | ||
NOTE: • For very thin (low viscosity) cooking oils, drain opening setting may need to reduce from the default value and you might need to reduce the drain opening setting from the default value. • For 50 Hz systems, or if the control routinely gives up before the pot is refilled, you might need to increase the max pump time from the default value–50 Hz pumps may run more slowly than 60 Hz pumps. | ||
FC-12 | POLISH: DROP OIL: TIME | During the Drop cycle, controls the duration of time the vat drains.
|
FC-13 | POLISH: DROP OIL: DRAIN OPENING | During the Drop cycle, controls how far to open the drain valve.
|
FC-14 | POLISH: FILTER: TIME | At the end of the Drop cycle, controls how long the filter pump runs for the specified fil- ter time.
|
FC-15 | POLISH: FILTER: DRAIN OPENING | At the end of the Drop cycle, controls how far the drain closes to a partially open position.
|
FC-16 | POLISH: NORMAL FILL TIME | The expected time it takes to refill the vat at the end of a Polish operation. When refilling the vat, if the fryer pumps for one and a half times this expected time, the SLOW FILLING warning is activated, alerting that the fryer is pumping more slowly than expected.
|
FC-17 | POLISH: FILL: NO DETECT: MAX PUMP | If the fryer pumps for this amount of time dur- ing the FILL phase without observing a tem- perature rise on the upper temperature probe, the control turns the pump off, and asks IS POT FILLED?. If pot is not filled completely, press NO and the pump will attempt to fill further.
|
Auto Top Off Settings | ||
NOTE: If X pulses of oil have not brought the level up, the control assumes that the oil tank is empty that no oil is being pumped into the pot and displays FILL OIL TANK. | ||
FC-18 | AUTO TOP OFF: ENABLED? | Enables or disables all Auto Top Off (ATO) operations. 1. Press the + or - button to select either YES or NO. Disabling the Auto Top Off feature would nor- mally be done only if the top off system itself has failed, in order to avoid the FILL OIL TANK messages that occur if the fryer doesn’t detect oil at the proper level after 3 attempts. |
FC-19 | AUTO TOP OFF: PUMP TIME | Specifies how long the ATO pump runs for each individualATO pulse.
|
FC-20 | AUTO TOP OFF: REPEAT | Specifies how long the control waits before assessing the oil level and generating a second ATO pulse if the oil level is still low.
|
FC-21 | AUTO TOP OFF: AFTER ‘X’ ATTEMPTS, CHECK ATO | After each ATO pulse, the control monitors the level probe temperature to see if the oil has been brought up to the proper level. If not, a second ATO pulse is given. After a certain number of pulses, as specified by this setting, if the oil level still has not been brought up to the proper level, the control beeps and displays FILL OIL TANK.
|
FC-22 | COOK MODE - FORCED ATO CHECK AFTER X COOKS | Controls the number of cook cycles before forcing a check of the ATO.
|
Start-up Mode Settings | ||
FC-23 | START-UP: NEEDED IF TEMP < X | If the oil temperature is below 215 F when the fryer is turned on, the fryer always executes a Melt Mode regardless of the Start-up Needed setting. Sets temperature base to initiate a Start-up.
|
Phase 4 of the morning start-up procedure is to execute the Start-up Auto Polish: drop the oil into the drain pan, filter it for a long time, and pump it back into the pot. This feature is important in cleaning the oil and restoring clarity to it. Filter powder should be added to the drain pan in order for the Polish operation to be most effective. | ||
FC-32 | START-UP POLISH: ENABLED? | Henny Penny recommends enabling the Start-up Polish to prolong the life of the oil. This adds time to the Start-up process. Press the + or - button to select either YES or NO. |
FC-33 | START-UP POLISH: PRE- HEAT MAX TEMP | The Start-up Auto Polish procedure consists of two steps: 1. Heat up the Polish Preheat temperature. 2. Drop the oil, filter (for a long time), and refill the pot:
|
Dispose Settings | ||
FC-43 | DISPOSE: DROP OIL: DRAIN OPENING | This setting specifies the drain opening to be used when draining the oil to a disposal cart, shuttle, or bucket for disposal. (Does not apply to Bulk Dispose operations.)
|
Miscellaneous Settings | ||
FC-44 | ALWAYS ASK, IS POT FILLED? | This option can be engaged to always ask at the end of each Quick Filter, Auto Mix, and Polish operation, if the pot is filled. Normally, the control asks IS POT FILLED? only if it has pumped for a long time attempting to fill the pot, but no temperature rise was ob- served on the upper temperature probe. Press the + or - button to select either YES or NO. |
FC-45 | ANY FILL: NOT FILLED, EX- TRA PUMP TIME | When refilling the pot at the end of a Quick Filter, Auto Mix, or Polish operation, the control closes the drain and runs the pump until a suitable temperature rise is observed on the upper temperature probe (the level probe). If no temperature rise is seen after pumping for a reasonable maximum pumping time, the control stops, turns the pump off, and asks IS POT FILLED?.
