3.1 Equipment Setup and Shutdown Procedures
Setup
DANGER
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled to the fill line with water or oil
before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will result in irreparable damage to the elements and may
cause a fire.
DANGER
Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with oil. Failure to do so will cause spattering of hot
liquid when the oil is heated to cooking temperature.
WARNING
The FilterQuick™ FQE80U/FQE100U fryer is not intended to use solid shortening without a solid shortening
kit installed. Use only liquid shortening with this fryer if a solid shortening kit is not installed. The use of
solid shortening without a solid shortening kit will clog the oil lines. The oil capacity of the FQE80U fryer is
78.5 lbs. (11.7 gallons/44.3 liters) at 70°F (21°C). The oil capacity of the FQE100U fryer is 101.8 lbs. (13.9
gallons/52.5 liters) at 70°F (21°C).
1. Fill the frypot with cooking oil or shortening to the
bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the
frypot. When using solid shortening, cut it into small
pieces and pack it below the elements, be-tween the
elements and on top of the elements, leaving no air
spaces around the elements. Do not disturb or bend
the probe sensing bulbs. This will allow for oil
expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill cold oil or
shortening any higher than the bottom line; overflow may occur as heat expands the oil/shortening.
2. Ensure that the power cord(s) is/are plugged and locked (if applicable) into the appropriate
receptacle(s). Verify that the face of the plug is flush with the outlet plate, with no portion of the
prongs visible.
3. Ensure that the power is switched on with the master switch, located behind the fryer door cabinet
on the front panel of the component box, next to the fuse.
4. Ensure that the controller is switched ON. The fryer will automatically enter the melt cycle mode if
the frypot temperature is below 180ºF (82ºC) and will display MELT CYCLE IN PROGRESS. (NOTE:
During the melt cycle, the elements will energize for a few seconds, then go out for a longer period.)
The shortening must be stirred occasionally during the heating process to ensure all the shortening
in the vat is liquefied. When the frypot temperature reaches 180ºF (82ºC), the unit will automatically
switch to the heating mode and PREHEAT is displayed until within 15°F (9°C) of setpoint. The
elements will remain energized until the frypot temperature reaches the programmed cooking
temperature. Once the fryer reaches setpoint, the controller display changes to START and the fryer
is ready for use. DO NOT DISABLE OR CANCEL THE MELT CYCLE IF USING SOLID SHORTENING.
5. Ensure that the oil/shortening level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the oil is at its cooking
temperature.
6. The maximum batch load for French Fries in oil or fat shall be no more than 1½ pounds or 0.7
kilograms.
Shutdown
1. Place the controller ON/OFF switch in the OFF position to turn the fryer off.
2. Filter the oil and clean the fryer (See Chapters 1 and 2 of the FILTERQUICK™ easyTouch

DO NOT let water splash into the tank of hot oil. It will splatter and can cause severe
burns.
All stainless-steel fryer cabinet parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy water during the day,
and with a liquid cleanser designed for stainless steel at the end of each day.
1. Do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers or powders.
2. Do not use a metal knife, spatula or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel! Scratches are
almost impossible to remove.
3. If it is necessary to scrape the stainless steel to remove any encrusted materials, soak the area first
to soften the deposit, then use a wood or nylon scraper only.

CHAPTER 6: OPERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1 Introduction
This section provides an easy reference guide to some of the common problems that may occur during
the operation of this equipment. The troubleshooting guides that follow are intended to help correct, or
at least accurately diagnose, problems with this equipment. Although the chapter covers the most
common problems reported, you may encounter problems that are not covered. In such instances, the
Frymaster Technical Services staff will make every effort to help you identify and resolve the problem.
When troubleshooting a problem, always use a process of elimination starting with the simplest solution
and working through to the most complex. Never overlook the obvious – anyone can forget to plug in a
cord or fail to close a valve completely. Most importantly, always try to establish a clear idea of why a
problem has occurred. Part of any corrective action involves taking steps to ensure that it doesn’t
happen again. If a controller malfunctions because of a poor connection, check all other connections,
too. If a fuse continues to blow, find out why. Always keep in mind that failure of a small component
may often be indicative of potential failure or incorrect functioning of a more important component or
system.
Before calling a service agent or the Frymaster HOTLINE (1-800-24-FRYER):
• Verify that electrical cords are plugged in and that circuit breakers are on.
• Have your fryer’s model and serial numbers ready to give to the technician assisting you.
DANGER
Hot oil will cause severe burns. Never attempt to move this appliance when filled with hot oil or
to transfer hot oil from one container to another.
DANGER
This equipment should be unplugged when servicing, except when electrical circuit tests are
required. Use extreme care when performing such tests.
This appliance may have more than one electrical power supply connection point. Disconnect all
power cords before servicing.
Inspection, testing, and repair of electrical components should be performed by an authorized
service agent only.
