3.3 Analog Controller Operating Instructions
WARNING
Before pressing the power switch to the ON position, ensure that the frypot is
properly filled with oil. See Section 3.1.
1. Verify that the thermostat knob is set to the desired cooking temperature. For split-vat units, set
both knobs.
2. Press the power switch to the ON position. The POWER light will illuminate. For split-vat units,
both power switches must be placed in the ON position if both vats are to be used.
3. If the frypot temperature is below 180 °F (82°C), the controller will automatically enter a warm-up
cycle (often called a melt cycle). The heating elements will cycle on and off repeatedly, allowing
the oil to heat gradually, without scorching. During the warm-up cycle, the heating mode light
will alternately illuminate and go off as the elements cycle on and off. Within about 45 minutes,
the controller will exit the warm-up cycle and the heating mode light will remain continuously
illuminated.
4. When the oil temperature reaches the thermostat knob setpoint, the elements will cycle OFF and
the heating mode light will go off, indicating that the fryer is ready for the cooking process to
begin.
