What does it mean when my GILES GEF Fryer VH model says 'MISSING FILTER'?
If your GILES Fryer (VH Model) displays a 'MISSING FILTER' message with a continuous alarm, it means the Baffle Filter is either missing or misaligned, or the Charcoal Filter is missing or misaligned. Check and install or realign the Baffle Filter and Charcoal Filter.
What to do if my GILES GEF VH model displays 'CLOGGED FILTER'?
If your GILES Fryer (VH Model) shows a 'CLOGGED FILTER' message with a constant alarm, the charcoal filter is likely clogged and needs replacement. Other potential causes include a vacuum switch that requires adjustment or replacement, clogged or kinked vacuum lines, a fan running too slow (check the voltage), or a fan clogged with grease film (clean the fan).
Why is oil smoking in my GILES GEF?
Oil smoking in your GILES Fryer can occur for several reasons. The oil may have broken down from extended use, requiring a change. The cooking temperature might be too high, so check and adjust the temperature setpoint. Dirty heating elements can also cause smoking, so perform a boil-out to clean them. Element failure, improper supply voltage, or a low oil level could also be responsible. Ensure the oil level is at the FULL mark and verify the incoming power supply.
What to do if GILES GEF Fryer will not heat, but the power light is on?
If your GILES Fryer isn't heating up despite the power light being on and the selector switch in the COOK position, there are several potential causes. The preset temperature for the selected menu might be below the actual oil temperature, requiring you to reset the temperature or allow the oil to cool. A DRAIN OPEN message with an alarm could indicate that the valve isn't fully closed. Other possible issues include a faulty controller, a faulty temperature sensor (indicated by Er13), a faulty contactor, a faulty selector switch, or an incomplete power-up procedure. In the latter case, press [START] to begin PREHEAT.
Why is my GILES Fryer heating slowly?
If your GILES Fryer is heating slowly with the heat light constantly on, the issue could stem from several factors. Improper cooking procedures might be the cause, so consult the Operations Manual for guidance. One or more heating elements could be faulty and need replacement. A failing contactor, loose wiring, or low voltage coming to the fryer could also contribute to slow heating. Check and repair the wiring and supply power as needed.
Why is the oil temperature erratic in my GILES GEF?
Erratic oil temperature in your GILES Fryer can be due to several reasons. It could be a faulty temperature sensor, a failing contactor, a faulty controller, or loose wiring. Consider replacing the probe, contactor, or controller, and check and repair the wiring.
What to do if my GILES Fryer VH model displays 'CLEAN THE EAC'?
If your GILES Fryer (VH Model) displays 'CLEAN THE EAC' with a beeping alarm, it indicates an issue with the EAC Cell. The cell might be excessively dirty, have bent fins or shorted components, or have too many broken ionizer wires. You might need to clean the EAC Cell, repair it, or replace the ionizer wires. Also, check for a poor connection with the Contact Board; clean the contacts or replace the board if necessary. A faulty EAC Power Supply or Shutdown Module could also be the cause, requiring replacement. Finally, ensure the EAC Cell is properly installed.
Why is my GILES GEF short cycling?
If your GILES Fryer is short cycling, with the heat light turning on and off continuously, it could be due to low voltage coming to the fryer, a variable temperature sensor positioned too close to the heating element, or a faulty controller. Check and repair the supply power, correct the sensor position, or replace the controller.
Why won't my GILES Fryer heat even though the heat light is on?
If your GILES Fryer (certain models only) won't heat even though the power light is on, the selector switch is in the COOK position, and the heat light is on, the circuit breaker on the rear of the fryer cabinet may have tripped. Try resetting the circuit breaker.
Why is oil not pumping back to the fry pot in my GILES GEF?
If oil isn't pumping back to the fry pot in your GILES Fryer, ensure the selector switch is in the [FILTER PUMP] position. Check for air leaks in the system (hoses, fittings, connector, Filter Pan) and eliminate them, ensuring the quick-disconnect is secure. A faulty pump motor, a clogged or damaged oil pump, or excessive sludge in the Filter Pan could also be the cause. Clean the Filter Pan and replace the media if necessary.
