To view summaries of the fryer and Operator performance, press the Program button then Product button 4. Press the Up and Down arrow buttons to view the following functions:

D1 - Adjust product color for all products (not individually)

D2 - The age of the peanut oil and life remaining

D3 - Outlet voltage monitoring

D4 - Fryer’s heating performance

D5 - Slow or oversized product batches

D6 - Cook Cycles started before temperature recovered

D7 - Cook Cycles stopped more than 10 seconds before end of cycle

D8 - Cook Cycles not ended within 20 seconds after expired time

D9 - Number of times loading product took too long

D10 -Programmed variables changed by Operator.

On several of the screens you may have to press Product button 1 or Product button 3 to respond to questions asked. Press Product button 2 at any time to exit and return to normal operation.

Peanut Oil Life Function

Based on the number of Cook Cycles of specific products and the amount of time the fryer idles, the controls tell the Operator when to change the peanut oil.

“CHANGE OIL SOON” displays when the controls determine it’s time to change peanut oil. Unless the peanut oil is smoking or has a burnt flavor, the peanut oil does not need to be changed before this message shows on the display. After cleaning the vat, using the Clean-Out Mode ( see Cleaning the Vat Section), this function resets.

Language Selection

Pressing the Program button then Product button 6 allows the Operator to choose to have the information on the display in English or Spanish.

Manual Mode

This allows the Operator to quickly program a time and temperature for nonstandard products that are not on the menu card. This is to be a temporary setting and disables most of the advanced features of the controls. To enter Manual Mode:

  1. Once out of the Melt Cycle, press the Program button then the Timer button.

  2. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to set cook time.

  3. Press the Program button and use the Up and Down arrow buttons to set temperature.

  4. Press the Program button to start Manual Mode. Display shows “MANUAL” and you start a Cook Cycle by pressing the Timer button.

  5. Press Product button 2 to exit Manual Mode.

Status Mode

Pressing the Info button during idle time, allows Operator to view:

  1. The temperature of the peanut oil

  2. The temperature setpoint and any offset

  3. The average peanut oil temperature during last Cook Cycle

  4. The rate of temperature rise or fall

  5. Date and time

Pressing the Info button during a Cook Cycle allows the Operator to view:

  1. The temperature of peanut oil, plus the degrees and rate the load compensation has affected the Cook Cycle (slows down or speeds up the timer)

  2. The cooking step, the time left in Cook Cycle, setpoint temperature and whether pressure is on or off

  3. The average peanut oil temperature in Cook Cycle so far

  4. The rate of temperature rise or fall

  5. Date and time

After 5 seconds, the control exits the Status Mode and the pressure fryer returns to normal operation.

Peanut Oil Filter Enforcement

Prevents the Operator from exceeding the set number of Cook Cycles before filtering the peanut oil. The number in the center of the display shows how many Cook Cycles remain before filter lockout occurs. For example, “5X” means the Operator can run 5 more Cook Cycles before filtering. This function cannot be bypassed.

Information Mode

This mode gathers and stores historic information on the fryer and Operator performance. Press the Program button and the Info button at the same time and “*INFO MODE*” displays. Press the Program button or the Info button to access the steps and press the Down arrow button to view the statistics within each step.

Information Mode is intended for technical use, but the Operator can view the following information:

1. E-LOG - last 10 errors and time they occurred

2. P-LOG - time of last 10 power-ups

3. HEAT-UPS - time of day and maximum heating rate (°/second) for the last 10 heat-ups

4. COOK DATA - information on the last Cook Cycle

5. TODAY’S DATA - data since the start of day (not including the last Cook Cycle)

6. PREV-DAY-SUN - creates a log of the last 7 days, using the information in TODAY’S DATA.

7. 7-DAY TOTALS -totals the information from the last 7 days

8. OIL DATA - information on the current peanut oil, not including today’s cooking information

9. PREV OIL DATA - information on last batch of peanut oil

10. INP - provides test of fryer inputs

11. OUTP - shows the state of heater and pressure

12. POT TMP - temperature of peanut oil

13. CPU TMP - temperature of PC board

14. ANALOG - status of controller’s a-to-d converter

15. AC VOLTS - status of the line voltage to fryer

16. AMPS (Electric models only) - the present amp readings to heaters.
