DO NOT open any access panel which requires the use of tools. Failure to follow this warning can result in severe electrical shock.

IMPORTANT: Refer to the General Layout Data packed with the fryer for wire size requirements and other installation data.

F-55 STS FRYER ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

F-55 fryers must be connected directly to an appropriately sized electric circuit. Conduit and strain relief must be provided by the electrician.

F-55 fryers require a 208VAC or 240VAC 20 amp three-phase circuit with ground.

Raise the element head, remove the frypot and the cover at the inside rear of the fryer to gain access to the terminal block. The electrical inlet is provided by a knock-out in the rear panel.

If an equipment shutdown interface is required by local fire code, the flame sensor terminal block may be accessed by removing the cover at the inside rear of the fryer Replace the jumper of the terminal block with wiring to a normally closed contact of the building fire management system.

DO NOT connect power to the flame sensor terminal block. Wiring and contacts must be capable of handling 20 amps.

F-85 FRYER ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

F-85 fryers must be connected directly to an appropriately sized electric circuit. Conduit and strain relief must be provided by the electrician.

F-85 fryers require either a 240VAC 50 amp single phase circuit with ground; a 208VAC or 240VAC 40 amp three phase circuit with ground, or a 480VAC 20 amp three phase circuit with ground. Units are shipped from the factory wired for three phase. Conversion of 240VAC units to single phase must be performed in the field by the electrician.

Raise the element head, remove the frypot and the cover at the inside rear of the fryer to gain access to the terminal block. The electrical inlet is provided by a knock-out in the rear panel.

OPERATION

DANGER: BURN HAZARD

Contact with hot oil will cause severe burns.

Always wear protective clothing and heat resistant gloves when operating the fryer.

CAUTION:

HOT SURFACE

Exposed surfaces can be hot to the touch and may cause burns.

Fig. 3 Temperature Control

Knob

Fig. 4 Oil Level Marking

NOTE: If the oil temperature exceeds 440ºF, the hi-limit safety will shut down the unit, and light the red TROUBLE light. To reset:

Allow the oil to cool, then press the red button on the back of the element head until it “clicks” and stays in.

If tripping persists, see

Troubleshooting Suggestions, page 9.

NORMAL OPERATION

1. a. Be sure the TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB is turned to

OFF. b. Lower the ELEMENT HEAD into the frypot by pushing back on

SUPPORT ROD, then carefully lowering the elements.

2. Fill the FRYPOT with commercial-grade liquid shortening to the

MIN OIL line.

Capacity: 15 pounds (F-55), OR 30 pounds (F-85, F-101, F-1725.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT overfill the frypot. Cold oil will expand as it heats. Adding too much oil will allow the frypot to overflow during

operation.

For best results, always use top grade commercial shortening made specially for frying. Maintain proper oil level in frypot during

operation.

3. Press the POWER SWITCH to the ON position. The indicator in the switch will glow.

4. Turn the TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB to the desired temperature. The HEAT INDICATOR will glow. When the oil reaches the desired temperature, the heat indicator will go out. The heat indicator will go off and on during operation as the thermostat cycles to maintain temperature.

For best results: DO NOT set temperature control to a temperature setting higher than is required for the food product.

5. Load either or both baskets no more than 1/2 full with food product. a. DO NOT overload fry baskets. For best results, load baskets uniformly to half full. b. Using the basket handle, lower the baskets into the hot oil. c. When food is cooked, lift the basket out of the oil by the handle.

Hang the baskets on the BASKET SUPPORT ROD to drain.

6. When the heat indicator light cycles off, the fryer is ready to cook the next load.

7. Reduce temperature control to 225ºF during idle periods to save power and extend the life of the oil. The fryer will return to operating temperature in just a few minutes when needed.

8. Keep the fryer clean at all times. Rinse baskets frequently, and dry thoroughly, in order to prevent oil contamination.

9. Drain the frypot completely after use. Filter the oil daily, or more often during heavy use.

OPERATION—SAFETY TEST SYSTEM™

DANGER: BURN HAZARD

Contact with hot oil will cause severe burns. Allow the fryer to cool before cleaning.

Always wear protective clothing and heat resistant gloves when performing this test.

1. Fill the frypot to the MIN OIL line. Fresh oil is recommended to

minimize

2. Clip the TEST THERMOMETER to a

FRYER BASKET. Lower the fryer basket into the oil. Be sure the dial of the test thermometer can be

clearly

3. Turn the TEMPERATURE

CONTROL KNOB to the maximum setting, then press the POWER

SWITCH to ON. Allow the oil to heat until the test thermometer reads to

“START TEST” (350ºF).

4. Press and hold the red TEST

SWITCH. The temperature of the oil will rise, and the test thermometer will read “TEST ZONE”.

Fig. 5 Test Thermometer

2-1/2 minutes.

When the oil temperature reaches the setting of the hi-limit thermostat, the hi-limit will trip, the red TROUBLE light will glow, and the heating element will be de-energized.

If the hi-limit thermostat trips while the test thermometer is in the TEST ZONE, the test is complete. The function of the hi-limit thermostat is normal. Reset the hi-limit thermostat and resume normal operation.

FAIL!

If the test thermometer rises above the TEST

ZONE, the hi-limit is not operating properly.

Release the TEST switch, turn the power

Service Agent for repairs.

5. Reset the hi-limit thermostat: a. Turn the power switch OFF b. Allow the oil to cool c. Press the red button on the back of the element head until it

6. Remove, clean and store the test thermometer.

Set the temperature control knob to the normal operating temperature. Turn the power switch ON and resume normal

operation.

The Safety Test System™ allows a positive test of the function of the temperature limiting (hi-limit) thermostat.

The hi-limit thermostat is factory set for 440ºF (227ºC).

It will trip if the oil temperature exceeds this setting, and interrupt power to the heating element.

CAUTION

FIRE HAZARD

Do not hold the TEST switch for more than 2-1/2 minutes.

Should the oil temperature not reach the hi-limit setting within

2-1/2 minutes, turn the power switch OFF and contact an

Authorized Wells Service

Agent for repairs.

The hi-limit safety is designed to shut down the fryer if the oil temperature exceeds 440ºF. A build-up of cooking debris between the heating element and the thermobulb of the hi-limit safety will cause the hi-limit to trip prematurely. Clean the element so that oil may circulate freely between the element

2 and the thermobulb. Reset the safety by pressing the red button on the bask of the element head.

A build-up of cooking debris between the heating element and the thermobulb temperature control thermostat will cause inconsistent temperatures. Clean the element so that oil may circulate freely between the element and the thermobulb.

MAINTENANCE

Frypot may be cleaned by the method described at right, or with a commercial frypot cleaner. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's directions.

Before cleaning, ALWAYS:

• Unplug the fryer and allow to cool.

• Drain the oil and wipe out the frypot.

IMPORTANT:

Nickel plated frypot must be dried completely in order to prevent rusting, and to eliminate water contamination of the cooking oil.

PERIODIC CLEANING

Periodic cleaning is necessary to remove carbonization from the elements and frypot.

Add 1/2 cup of granulated dishwasher detergent to frypot. Fill with water to the MAX OIL line.

Lower the element into the frypot and set the control knob to 225ºF

Boil the mixture for five minutes. Turn the control knob to OFF. Allow the mixture to set in the frypot overnight.

After the soak period, raise the elements and remove any remaining carbonization with a stiff bristle brush. Be careful that the capillary tubes of the thermobulbs are not moved or damaged during cleaning.

Drain the frypot and wash with warm water and mild detergent.

Reinstall the frypot in the fryer. Add 1 quart of vinegar, then fill to the MAX

OIL line with cold water.

Lower the elements into the vinegar solution. Allow to set for 15 minutes.

Drain the frypot and rinse with clean water. Dry the frypot and elements thoroughly before returning the fryer to operation.
