18. If boil out solution is to be used in another fryer, use several containers to store the  
solution until ready to proceed with the next fryer vat. If boil-out solution is to be  
discarded, pour solution into sink drain.  
Note: If boil-out compound is to be used in another fryer, use within 3 hours or discard.  
19. Using a 5 gallon (19 liter) grease bucket, draw 3 gallons (11 liters) of McD A.P.C.  
(HCS) from the sink proportioner. If a sink proportioner is not being used, mix 6 fluid  
ounces (3/4 cups/177 ml) of McD A.P.C. (HCS) to 3-gallons (11-liters) of warm water  
and pour solution into fryer vat.  
20. Using a nylon pot brush, scrub tank side, front, back walls and top areas to remove  
remaining carbon deposits.  
21. Place bucket under drain valve and open drain valve slowly to drain dirty solution out.  
Note: Do not place more than 2-or 3-gallons (8- or 11-liters) of solution into bucket at a  
time.  
Caution: Do not drain boil-out solution or water into the built-in filtration filter pan or  
the cooking oil disposal cart.  
Caution: Do not splash solution on skin or clothing. Bucket and solution will be hot.  
22. Remove bucket and discard solution into sink drain.  
23. Place bucket under fryer drain valve and open valve.  
Note: If there is any carbon left in the vat, clean it now with nylon scouring pad, then  
rinse and drain vat.  
24. Rinse fryer vat thoroughly TWO TIMES with warm (100ºF/38ºC) water and wipe with  
damp towel. Close the fryer drain valve.  
25. Thoroughly dry inside fryer vat, especially in the drain valve area.  
26. Using proper procedure, fill vat with proper amount of cooking oil.

2. The cooking oil level should cover the temperature and high-limit probes. Add cooking oil if  
necessary.  
Caution: If, after completing both high-limit tests you find only the second high-limit  
operates properly, the vat can be used if it is absolutely necessary, but with extreme care.  
The computer must be replaced immediately after this period of necessity. If the second  
high-limit does not work the vat must NOT be used until the second high-limit has been  
replaced. If the first high-limit feature activates at less than 400°F (204°C), do not  
replace the computer unless it interferes with proper cooking. If the second high-limit  
activates at less than 425°F (218°C), do not replace it unless it prevents you from  
checking the first high-limit feature.  
Note: The high-limit test program allows the operator to test the trip-out temperature of  
the first and second high-limits. The first high-limit feature is a function performed by  
the computer and automatically resets when the cooking oil cools below its trip point of  
400°F (204°C). The second high-limit automatically resets when the cooking oil has  
cooled to 400°F (204°C) or less. To perform the high-limit test, the vat must be  
operating normally and the display reading "HI-LIMIT" on either display for a full- or  
split-vat, depending on the test being performed. Only one side of a split-vat is to be  
checked at a time. The test can be performed any time the vat is turned ON except if  
the vat is in the melt or cooking cycle.  
3. To start the "first high-limit test", press the  
button and the  
button  
simultaneously, then release the  
button, but continue to depress the  
button.  
Result: The vat will heat while the  
button is depressed continuously. The display  
will show the actual temperature during the test. At 410°F (210°C) ±10°F (±5°C), the  
first high-limit feature will trip. The display will show (alternating) HI-1 and the actual  
temperature, i.e. "HI-1-400°F (204°C)" until the vat cools to 400°F (204°C), or less.  
The vat will automatically reactivate below 400°F (204°C).

operates properly, the vat can be used if it is absolutely necessary, but with extreme care.  
The computer must be replaced immediately after this period of necessity. If the second  
high-limit does not work, the vat must not be used until the second high-limit has been  
replaced. If the first high-limit feature activates at less than 410°F (204°C), do not  
repair or replace the computer or controller unless it interferes with proper cooking. If  
the second high-limit activates at less than 425°F (218°C), do not replace it unless it  
prevents you from checking the first high-limit feature.  
When  
Quarterly  
Scratch Calibration Check  
(Gas Fryers Only) (Should be done by a qualified service person.)  
Caution: Portions of fryer will be hot during this scratch calibration.  
Note: Conduct this test when fryer will not be needed for about one hour.  
Tools  
Flat blade screwdriver,  
7/16" (13 mm) open-end  
wrench, and multimeter  
(that measures DC  
microamps).  
1. Contact the local gas company or service agency to check the gas pressure out of the  
fryer's gas regulator.  
Result: Gas pressure must be 3.0" W.C. (76 mm W.C.) natural gas or 8.25" W.C. (210  
mm W.C.) propane gas.  
Caution: If the pressure does not meet above requirements the fryer gas valve regulator  
must be adjusted by the service agency to obtain the correct pressure.

Scratch Calibration Check  
Continued from previous  
page.  
2. Remove gas valve vent tube. Clean and replace. See cleaning procedure in service  
manual.  
3. Clean combustion air blower. See the service manual for cleaning procedure.  
4. Conduct recovery test as outlined on this card. The recovery test procedure varies  
dependent upon the controller/computer model of your fryer.  
5. If the vat does not meet the recovery specification, adjust the combustion air blower to  
obtain the proper recovery time.  
COMBUSTION AIR BLOWER ADJUSTMENT  
Note: Use a multimeter that measures DC microamps when making burner air  
adjustments.  
Note: Ensure proper gas pressure is set out of the gas regulator.  
6. Connect the multimeter in series with the white flame sensor wire on the ignitor.  
7. After fryer has completed the melt cycle, allow burner to operate for at least one minute.  
8. Check for a 2.5 to 3.5 microamp reading on the multimeter. This reading should show at  
least 2.5 microamps. Adjust the combustion air-blower intake plate to obtain a  
maximum microamp reading on the multimeter.  
Note: Air adjustment must be made if a blue flame is observed through the burner  
viewing ports, or if there are dark spots on the burner face. After 90 seconds of  
continuous burner operation, the burner should glow bright orange-red. (For proper  
colors, see the "BURNER COLOR COMPARISON CHART" located inside the door of  
the fryer). If flame color is not correct, it is necessary to adjust the combustion air-  
blower air intake-plate.  
9. To adjust the blower intake plate, loosen the locking nut(s) on the intake plate with a small  
adjustable wrench.  
10. Adjust the plate opened or closed to obtain a maximum reading on the multimeter. When  
observing the burner through the viewing ports, an orange-red glow should be seen on the  
face of the burner. The ports are located directly above the spark ignitors.  
11. When a maximum microamp reading and an orange-red glow have been obtained, tighten the  
intake plate locking nut(s) while holding the plate to prevent movement.  
Note: A blue flame observed through the burner viewing ports usually indicates  
insufficient air. Dark spots on the burner face indicate excess air.  
12. Recheck the recovery time as outlined on this card.  
13. If further combustion air adjustments are needed, repeat Steps 9 through 12 until the  
recovery time specification is met.  
14. Repeat Steps 9 through 13 for each vat of the fryer.  
15. Scratch calibration check is complete. Check remaining fryers.
