Purging the Oil Lines

Before filling the vat with frying oil for the first time, purge the oil lines to ensure all water or mineral oil is removed. Also wipe out the vat to remove dust or other debris.

Manually Filling the Vat

  1. The vat has 2 level indicator lines inscribed on the rear wall. The lower line is the fill limit for cold oil. The upper line is where the oil will expand to when heated.

  2. Fill the vat with cold new oil to the lower limit line.

  3. Power on the unit to begin normal operation.

Fill Fresh Oil Tank (ATO)

The fresh oil tank automatically tops off the oil in the vat when it senses the vat oil level is low. Operators should add new oil to the fresh oil tank as needed. Do not add new oil directly to the vat unless refilling after performing an oil disposal cycle. Refer to Oil Disposal for oil disposal steps. After three failed attempts to fill the vat from the fresh oil tank, the fill oil tank message displays:

  • The upper display reads FILL OIL TANK.

  • The middle display flashes, representing the location of the tank.

  1. Pull out the fresh oil tank.

  2. Using new oil, fill the fresh oil tank, through the top opening, to the marks on the inside of the tank.

  3. Slide back into position, and then press the OK button on the control panel.
