Function

1

Steam-Stack and Safety Release Valve

  • The Steam-Stack houses the dead-weight. It releases steam when the vat is pressurized above 12 PSI, which is optimal for cooking.

  • The Safety Release Valve functions as a safety and actives when pressure rises above 14 PSI. It should never be used to release pressure from the vat during a normal cook cycle.

2

Locking Roller Bearing

A part of the high pressure locking system, the roller bearings on each side of the lid lock in to each of the hook arms (4) in the down (sealed) position.

3

Lid Gasket

Seals the lid to the vat so 12 lbs. of pressure can be maintained throughout the cooking cycle.

4

Lid Hook Arms

A part of the high pressure locking system, there are two lid hook arms that accept the roller bearings (2) which holds the lid in the down (sealed) position.

5

Movable Rear Caster Wheel

Provides mobility for precise positioning of the appliance.

6

Condensation Pan

A reservoir that holds excess condensation (water) that wicks from the product cooking in the vat.

7

Stationary Front Caster Wheel

Provides stability for precise positioning of the appliance.

8

Oil Drain Pan

Oil in the vat is drained in to this pan for cleaning, filtering and disposal.

9

Fresh Oil Tank

Filled with new oil, the appliance pulls fresh oil from this reservoir when the low oil sensor detects additional oil is needed. Never over fill the reservoir or vat.

10

Power Switch

Turns the power (electricity) to the appliance on/off. To ensure the complete deactivation of the appliance and all its components, unplug the unit from the wall outlet.

11

Control Panel (Board)

Used to program, control and operate the appliance.

12

Carrier Slides

A multi tray carrier, which holds up to 8 head of pro- duct, slides on to the arms and is raised and lowered in to the vat of oil as the lid is raised and lowered.

13

Lid

The lid seals the vat during the cook cycle. It slides up and down with the aid of counter weight assembly. A temporary non-pressurizing latch on the front keeps the lid in the down position while engaging the high pressure locking handle. Always use the high pressure locking handle during a cook cycle.
