  Foaming or boiling of shortening in your Henny Penny Cooking Equipment can occur due to water in the shortening, using improper or bad shortening, improper filtering, or improper rinsing after cleaning. To resolve this: drain and clean the shortening at the end of each cook cycle, use the recommended shortening, follow the correct procedure for filtering the shortening, and ensure you thoroughly clean, rinse, and dry the frypot.

  If the shortening in your Henny Penny Cooking Equipment isn't heating up, but the lights are on, it could be due to an open high limit circuit. To fix this, reset the high limit. Also, make sure the drain valve is closed by turning the drain valve handle to the closed position.

  If the shortening isn't draining from the frypot of your Henny Penny Cooking Equipment, and the filter switch is on but the motor isn't running, it could be because the drain valve is clogged with crumbs or the motor thermal protector has tripped. Try opening the valve and forcing a cleaning brush through the drain. Also, reset the thermal switch.
