Troubleshooting

To avoid severe personal injury, do not operate unit if pressure gauge shows high pressure conditions.

Immediately place the cook/pump switch in the off position, which releases the pressure by allowing the unit to cool. Do not resume use of unit until cause of high pressure has been found and corrected.

Problem	Cause	Correction
Power switch on but fryer completely inoperative	Open circuit	Fryer plugged in Check breaker or fuse at wall
Pressure not exhausting at end of Cook Cycle	Solenoid or exhaust line clogged	Turn OFF and allow fryer to cool to release the pressure in vat; have all lines, solenoid, and exhaust tank cleaned
Operating pressure too high	Deadweight clogged	Turn OFF and allow fryer to cool to release the pressure in vat; clean deadweight; see Cleaning the Deadweight Assembly
Pressure does not build	Not enough product in vat Metal shipping spacer not removed from deadweight assembly. Pressure not programmed Lid gasket leaking	Place full capacity product in vat when using fresh oil Remove shipping spacer; see Unpacking Check programming Reverse or replace lid gasket
Oil not heating	Drain valve open High temperature limit tripped Blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker at supply box or control panel Blown fuse at control panel Faulty cord and plug	Close drain valve Reset high temperature limit Reset breaker or replace fuse Check and replace fuse Check cord, plug, and power at wall
Foaming or boiling over	See Boil-Over chart on fryer Water in oil Condensation line clogged Cold zone full of cracklings Cleaning solution in oil	Follow boil-over procedures from chart At end of cooking cycle, drain oil and clean vat. Add new oil. Remove and clean condensation line. Filter oil Clean and neutralize the vat. Rinse with vinegar to remove the alkaline, then rinse with hot water and dry vat.
Oil not draining	Drain valve clogged	Push cleaning rod through open drain valve.
Filter motor won’t run	Motor overheated	Reset motor; see Filter Motor Protector Manual Reset Section
Product Color Not Correct: A. Too Dark	Temperature too high Breading too far in advance Overshooting the setpoint temperature	Check temperature setting in the Program Mode Bread product closer to frying period Adjust PC Factor (may require a service call)
B. Too Light	Temperature too low Fryer incorrect preheat Wrong product button pressed	Check temperature setting in the Program Mode Allow proper preheat time Be sure to press the correct product to be cooked
C. Product Greasy	Oil old Temperature too low Vat overloaded Product not removed from vat immediately after end of cycle	Replace oil Check temperature setting in the Program Mode Reduce cooking load Remove product form vat promptly

Filter Pump Motor Manual Reset

The filter pump motor is equipped with a manual reset button, located on the rear front of the motor, in case the motor overheats. If motor won’t run, wait about 5 minutes before attempting to reset this protective device to allow motor to cool. Remove the access panel on the left side panel of the unit to reset the button. It takes some effort to reset, and a screwdriver can be used to help reset the button.

Burn Risk

To avoid burns, turn POWER switch to OFF before resetting pump motor.
