WEEKLY CHECKS AND SERVICES
Check Recovery Time (Fryers with Controllers Only)
Recovery Time is the amount of time it takes the fryer to increase the frypot temperature from
250F (121C) to 300F (149C). It is a measure of the fryer’s efficiency, and should be no more
than 2 minutes and 30 seconds for MJ40 and MJ50 model fryers. The recovery time on models
having CM III.5 controllers is automatically measured by the controller.
To view the recovery time on models equipped with CM III.5 controllers, press the Program Mode
switch . will appear in the left display. Enter the code number
(1652) on the
number keys. The latest recovery time will appear in both displays for 5 seconds.
QUARTERLY CHECKS AND SERVICES
Drain and Clean Frypot
During normal usage of your fryer, a deposit of carbonized cooking oil or shortening will
gradually form on the inside of the frypot. This deposit must be periodically removed to maintain
your fryer’s efficiency.
DANGER
Allow oil/shortening to cool to 100°F (38°C) or lower before draining to an appropriate
container for disposal.
If your fryer is not equipped with the built-in filtration system, the cooking oil or shortening must
be drained into another suitable container. For safe, convenient draining and disposal of used
cooking oil or shortening, Frymaster recommends the use of our shortening disposal unit (SDU).
The SDU is available through your local distributor.
Clean Detachable Parts and Accessories
As with the frypot, a deposit of carbonized oil/shortening will accumulate on detachable parts
and accessories such as baskets, sediment trays, or fishplates
Wipe all detachable parts and accessories with a clean cloth dampened with a detergent solution.
Rinse and thoroughly dry each part.
Check Calibration of Thermostat Controller Temperature Control Knob
1. Ensure frypot is filled with cooking oil or melted shortening.
2. Set the temperature control knob to frying temperature.
3. Let the burner cycle on and off automatically three times in order for the cooking
oil/shortening temperature to become uniform. If necessary, stir to get all shortening in the
bottom of the frypot melted.
