C8000 - Special Programming

To avoid personal injury and fire, ensure that oil completely covers heating elements or gas burner tubes.

Do not bypass the Melt Cycle. The type of oil being used in the fryer determines the amount of heat applied during the Melt Cycle. If the controls are set to the Solid setting, less heat is applied to the solid oil than if the controls were set to Liquid. Too much heat applied to solid oil causes much smoking, and could cause a fire. Match this setting to the type of oil being used at the time. When using new solid oil, it is recommended to melt the solid oil on an outside source before placing oil in the vat.

NOTICE!: Solid oil is not recommended as it can cause clogging and pump failure.

The Special Program Mode is used to set more detailed parameters.

      • Subsequent cook cycles for the same product can be started by simply pressing the Timer button again, as the product is already selected and its name is shown on the display.

SP-10

CLEAN-OUT MINUTES

15

Timed clean-out (boil-out) period (0- 99 minutes).

This mode sets the number of minutes for the Clean-Out Mode.

  1. Press the Program button until SP-10 CLEAN-OUT MINUTES displays, along with the preset minutes.

  2. Press the Up and Down arrow buttons to change the number of minutes, up to 99. When Clean-out Mode is activated, the fryer heats the water to the specified temperature, see SP-11. A countdown timer starts with the number of minutes specified.

NOTE:

  • If Clean-out Minutes is set to 0 (OFF), the heated water clean-out mode is disable and is not offered to the user.

  • To clean the vat, fill it with water and cleaning solution and turn the fryer on. In Melt Mode, press and hold the IDLE button. The controller displays CLEAN-OUT? / 1=YES 2=NO. Press the #1 button to activate Clean-out mode.

  • As the water temperature nears the [SP 11] setpoint temperature, a timed clean-out period begins automatically.

  • At the end of the timed clean-out period, the controller beeps once and displays CLEANING *DONE*. No user acknowledgement is necessary. The controller continues to regulate to the programmed SP-11 temperature until the fryer is turned OFF.
SP-11 CLEAN-OUT TEMPERATURE 195°F Water temperature setpoint (100°F - 195°F) for Clean-out mode.

This mode sets the temperature of the Clean-Out Mode.

  1. Press the Program button until SP-11 CLEAN-OUT TMP displays, along with the set temperature.

  2. Press the Up and Down arrow buttons to change the temperature, up to 195 ºF (91ºC).

    NOTE: During clean-out, the user may freely adjust the operating value up or down as necessary to keep the fryer from foaming over.
SP-12 NOMINAL AMPS READING - 4-HD Electric: 31A - All Other Fryers: OFF The normal amps reading (OFF, 1 - 99 amps)

  1. Press the Program button until SP-12 AMPS RDG, NOMINAL displays.

  2. 2. Check the amp reading on the right side of display (eg. 37A) with the amp reading on the data plate. If readings are different, use the Up and Down arrow buttons to change the display to match data plate. This could vary depending upon how the unit is wired.

NOTE:

  • The controller considers any phase current of 2 amps or less to be "OFF". This allowance is for tolerance errors or calibration errors in the current sensor input circuits.

  • The normal amps reading (OFF, 1 - 99 amps). This is the current in each phase of the incoming supply when the heating elements are turned on.

  • For 3-phase, 4-Head fryers (with or without neutral), this "nominal amps reading" should be set to the amps rating stamped on the data plate fastened to the door of the fryer.

  • For single-phase units, the parameter should be set to 1/3 of the data plate amps.
SP-13 AMPS READING LOW LIMIT (PERCENTAGE) 4-HD Electric: 80% All Other Fryers: OFF The lower acceptance limit (50% - 99%) for the amps sensors. Readings below this limit will generate an E-27 HEAT AMPS TOO LOW error.

This is the percentage below the Nominal Amp Reading in which the controls senses a too low amperage warning (E27). Preset at 80%, but can be changed (50 to 99%):

  1. Press the Program button until SP-13 AMPS RDG, LOW LIMIT displays, along with the preset percentage.

  2. Press the Up and Down arrow buttons to change percentage.

    NOTE:

    • If a limit is programmed, all Amps errors are automatically disabled if the amp sensors are unplugged or are not properly detected by the controller.

    • The lower acceptance limit (50% - 99%) for the amps sensors. Readings below this limit will generate an E-27 "HEAT AMPS TOO LOW" error.
SP-14 AMPS READING HIGH LIMIT (PERCENTAGE) 4-HD Electric: 120% All Other Fryers: OFF The upper acceptance limit (101% - 150%) for the amps sensors. Readings above this limit will generate an E-25 HEAT AMPS TOO HIGH error.

This is the percentage above the Nominal Amp Reading in which the controls senses a too high amperage warning (E25). Preset at 115%, but can be changed (101 to 150%):

  1. Press the Program button until SP-14 AMPS RDG, HIGHLIMIT displays, along with the preset percentage.

  2. Press and release the Up and Down arrow buttons to change percentage.

    NOTE:

    • Even if a limit is programmed here, all Amps errors are automatically disabled if the amp sensors are unplugged or are not properly detected by the controller.

    • The upper acceptance limit (101% - 150%) for the amps sensors. Readings above this limit will generate an E-25 "HEAT AMPS TOO HIGH" error.

  • The Change Oil prompt continues until the Review Usage data is reset – normally when the oil is actually changed.
SP-18 CHANGE SHORTENING: B - HOURS OFF Number of power on hours (OFF, 1..999 hours) at which the "Change Oil" prompt should be generated.

The operator can set a reminder to change the oil based on the number of power-on hours accumulated, -OFF- to 999 hours. CHANGE OIL SOON displays when the preset number of hours has been met.

  1. Press the Program button until SP-18 CHANGE OIL’ B - HOURS displays, along with a number of hours.

  2. Press and release the Up and Down arrow buttons to change the number of power-on hours.

    NOTE: Once the oil is filtered, to clear CHANGE OIL SOON (i.e. SP-17 & SP- 18) display, reset the review usage data in the Information Mode. See Information Mode section of this manual.

  3. Press and hold the Program button at any time to exit Special Program Mode.

    NOTE:

    • To use this Change Oil feature, the user must take care to reset the Review Usage data (in Info Mode) each time the oil is changed.

    • The Change Oil prompt continues until the Review Usage data is reset – normally when the oil is actually changed.

    • Whenever either one of the Change Oil functions is enabled, an additional display item appears in the Info-button Status display. In any normal operating mode, press the INFO button four times. The control displays: OIL IS XX% USED where XX is the current percentage of cook counts or the current percentage of hours, whichever is higher.
