Checking Temperature
A. Check the cooking oil/shortening temperature at any time by pressing the switch once.
Check the setpoint by pressing the switch twice.
B. During the idle periods, when the fryer is on but not in use, " " should appear on both
displays on a single frypot computer. " " will appear on the display of the side that is
turned on in a split-vat computer. If not, check actual temperature and setpoint.
C. If you suspect a defective probe, check the cooking oil/shortening temperature with a
thermometer. Verify that the computer readout is reasonably close to your measured reading.
NOTE: The electronic circuitry can be affected adversely by current fluctuations and electrical
storms. If for no apparent reason the computer does not function or program properly, reset the
computer by unplugging the power cord and plugging it back in.
Programming The Dean Compu-Fry Computer

2. To enter the program mode, first press the switch. will appear in the left display. If
you have pressed this switch in error and do not wish to program, press the switch again.
Note: The computer will flash if cooking is in progress.
3. Press (1 6 5 0) in that sequence to enter the program mode.
4. (Setpoint) will appear in the left display. This is for setting the cooking temperature. The
temperature previously selected will be displayed in the right display. Enter new temperature.
Press the
switch to lock in temperature setting. If the setting is correct, press the switch to
advance to the next programming option.
5. (Select Product) will appear in the left display. Press the product button to be

6. will appear in the left display. The sensitivity number previously selected will be
displayed in the right display. Enter the new desired sensitivity number, the range is 1 to 9.
Enter "0" for no sensitivity. Press the
switch to lock in the setting.
Sensitivity adjusts computer-cooking time to compensate for the drop in cooking oil/shortening
temperature when a basket of product is placed into the fryer. Sensitivity decreases or
increases cooking time to counterbalance variances in product density, basket-load size, and
initial temperature. A proper sensitivity setting will ensure a high quality product. For example:
4 ounces of fries can be programmed to cook to the same quality as 2 pounds. A good initial
setting is 4 or 5. Some experimenting with the range of 1 to 9 may be required to achieve
optimum quality.
