If the shorten- ing temperature exceeds 425°F (218°C), this switch opens and shuts off the heat to the frypot. When the temperature of the shortening drops to a safe operation limit, manually reset by pressing the red reset button. The red reset button is located under the control panel, in the front of the fryer,

If the pressure pad is worn, but not broken, it can be reversed 180 degrees, and the other end of the pad used. See Pressure Pad Section. If steam leaks, check for: • Pressure pad wear • Cracked or worn gasket • Gasket installed improperly • Fryer operating above 12 psi (827 mbar) Fryer should be operating at 12 psi, or serious burns c

Model 590/592 2-15. SOLENOID VALVE This is an electro-mechanical device that causes pressure to be held in the frypot. The solenoid valve closes at the beginning of the Cook Cycle and opens automatically at the end of the Cook Cycle. If this valve should become dirty, or the Tefl on seat nicked, pressure will not build up. The electric fryer uses a 208/240 volt 60 hertz coil (50 hertz internationally). To avoid electrical shock or property damage, move the power switch to OFF an

Model 590/592 2-19. CONTACTORS The electric fryer requires two switching contactors: a primary and a heat contactor. The primary contactor energizes (contacts close) any time the POWER/PUMP switch is in the POWER position, and the temperature of the shortening is below 420° F ( 215° C). The high limit cuts power at the primary contactor if the temperature of the shortening is above 420° F ( 215° C). The primary contactor supplies power to one side of the heat contactor. Primary The
