Model 500/561/600
The following is a description of the operating procedures for fryers
with the Computron 1000 controls.
1. Check to see that all control switches are off and the drain and
filter valves are in the closed position.
2. Remove the basket from the frypot and leave lid open.
3. Make sure frypot is filled with shortening to the proper level.
Refer to filling and Adding Shortening Section.
4. Make sure electrical power is connected to fryer. Gas units,
make sure gas lines are connected to fryer and gas valve is
turned on - See
GAS PILOT & BURNER LIGHTING AND SHUT
DOWN PROCEDURE Section .
5. Display shows “OFF” until power switch is turned to the ON
position. Display now shows the cook time and the unit auto-
matically goes into the Melt Cycle until the shortening tempera-
ture reaches 230
°F (110°C). The control then automatically exits
the Melt Cycle.
The PFG-600 series pressure fryer has several safety devices
which shuts-down the gas supply when they are activated. The
above procedures should be followed to restart the open fryer
and if the shut down is repeated, a qualified technician should be
notified.
The Melt Cycle may be bypassed, if desired, by pressing and
holding for 3 seconds.
Do not bypass the Melt Cycle unless enough shortening has
melted to completely cover the curved surface of the gas
frypots and elements on electric fryers. If Melt Cycle is
bypassed before all gas frypot or elements are covered,
excessive smoking of the shortening, or a fire will result.
5. Once out of the Melt Cycle, the shortening is heated until
lights and the cook time is displayed.
6. Using the basket handle, thoroughly stir shortening to stabilize the
temperature throughout the frypot.
7. Once the shortening temperature has stabilized at the setpoint
temperature, lower the basket into the frypot.
