Fryer Operation
4.03 Optional Oil Level Top-Off
The optional Oil Level Top‐Off feature makes maintaining oil level in vat virtually a hands‐free task. Fresh oil is
supplied from either an on‐board supply or a customer‐provided bulk oil management system.
On‐Board System
: Banked unit utilizes a Jug‐In‐Box (JIB) design for pumping fresh oil directly from a purchased
jug. Single fryer uses a removable Saddle‐Bag Style Tank that hangs on the fryer side. The tank must be manually
filled from a purchased jug by the user. A top‐off pump is control by a single push‐button switch on the fryer
control panel.
JUG‐IN‐BOX SADDLE TANK
• On‐Board Oil Supply (JIB / Saddle Tank):
◊ When controller senses oil level has dropped below the [ADD] level, an alarm
sounds and a “LOW OIL LEVEL” message appears in Upper Display ... Press
[ALARM] key to silence.
◊ Open cabinet door (unit displaying alarm for banked system) and move the
OIL RETURN valve handle ① to the [FILL POT] position. For banked system,
valves of other units must remain in [OFF] position.
◊ On control panel, press and hold the ADD OIL Push‐button Switch ② to start
the top‐off pump to deliver fresh oil to vat from on‐board supply. Pump runs
ONLY while pushbutton is pressed.
◊ Hold button and observe filling. When oil level reaches the [FULL] level
mark, release pushbutton to stop pump.
◊ Return the OIL RETURN valve handle to the [CLOSE] position.
◊ “LOW OIL LEVEL” alarm should clear when vat is again full.
• Bulk Oil Management System (customer provided):
Optionally, fryer can be factory‐configured for direct connection to a customer‐provided Bulk Oil
Management System. Generally, such systems have an internal pump, capable of pumping fresh cooking oil
to the fryer. To allow control by users, this pump must be wired directly into the fryer pushbutton switch ②
during installation.
With a Bulk Oil System connected, the top‐off process is the same as described above, except that fresh oil is
supplied directly from the connected bulk system.
