Daily Start-up

If the oil is below 180° F (82° C), with the Main Power switch in the ON position, the display flashes START UP and AUTO MELT MELT. The oil heats slowly to prevent scorching of the oil. The heat cycles on and off to slowly heat the oil. When the oil temperature reaches 215° F (102° C), Auto Melt Melt mode terminates and the fryer begins heating up to the Auto Mix temperature of 360° F (182° C). During Start-up, the display informs the user by displaying a bar graph to represent the stages of the startup process. These stages consist of the following:

  • During each stage, the bar graph fills as each stage completes.

  • The duration of each stage depends on the temperature of the oil at the initial start and the programmed setpoints.

  • Once start-up is complete, the display goes to the main cook menu and is ready for operations.
