1-6 103

Model 8000 Computron

1-5. BASIC OPERATIONS These are just basic procedures. Refer to the fryer Operator’s

AND PROCEDURES Manual for more detailed instructions.

1. Be sure the drain valve is in the closed position.

2. Remove fry basket from frypot and leave lid up.

3. Fill the frypot with shortening.

When using new shortening, it is recommended to

melt the shortening on an outside source before

placing shortening in the frypot. Unless elements are

completely covered in shortening, fire or damage to

the frypot could result.

4. Move power switch to the COOK position. Unit

automatically goes into the Melt Cycle. When the

temperature reaches 230°F (110°C) the control goes

into the Heat Cycle, and heats the shortening until the

temperature setting is reached.

Bypass the Melt Cycle, if desired, by pressing a product

button and holding it for five seconds. The display

shows “EXIT MELT? 1=YES 2=NO”. Press

to exit melt.

If the melt cycle is bypassed on fryers with the Frypot

Protection System (FPS), the unit continues to heat as

controlled by the FPS. No change in heat-up time will

be observed.

Do not bypass the Melt Cycle unless enough

shortening has melted to completely cover all of the

heating elements, or the curved surface of the gas

frypot. If Melt Cycle is bypassed before these surfaces

are covered, excessive smoking of the shortening or a

fire will result.

5. Once out of the Melt Cycle, flashes until

5°F (3°C) before setpoint temperature is reached.

Then illuminates and the selected product shows

in the display.

404 1-7

Model 8000 Computron

1-5. BASIC OPERATIONS 6. Completely stir shortening to stabilize the temperature

AND PROCEDURES throughout the frypot.

(Continued)

7. Once the shortening temperature has stabilized at the

setpoint temperature, place the baskets into the

shortening. Then place product into the basket.

Do not overload, or place product with extreme

moisture content into the basket. 18 lbs. (8.2 kgs)

for the 561 and 12 lbs. (5.4 kgs) for the 500 and

600, is the maximum amount of product per frypot.

Failure to follow these directions can result in

shortening overflowing the frypot. Serious burns or

damage to the frypot could result.

8. Lift the basket slightly out of the shortening and shake

basket to separate pieces.

9. Remove basket handle and close lid quickly, latching

the lid.

10. Tighten the lid spindle clockwise, sealing the lid. Align

red knob on the spindle with red knob on the latch.

LATCH THE LID PROPERLY AND ALIGN THE

RED BALLS OR SEVERE BURNS WILL

RESULT.

11. Press to start a Cook Cycle.

The display counts down the cooking time.

A different product can be selected during the first

minute of cooking, in case the wrong product button

was pressed. To check the shortening temperature

press or to stop a Cook Cycle, press .

1-5. BASIC OPERATIONS 12. Within a few minutes, the pressure gauge increases to

AND PROCEDURES the OPERATING ZONE. If not, recheck the install-

(Continued) ation and operation procedures in Operator’s Manual.

13. Near the end of the Cook Cycle the fryer automatically

depressurizes, an alarm sounds and the display flashes

“DONE”. To stop the alarm, press.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN LID UNTIL THE

PRESSURE DROPS TO ZERO. LID IS LOCKED

WHEN FRYER IS UNDER PRESSURE. DO NOT

ATTEMPT TO FORCE THE LID LATCH OR OPEN

THE LID WHILE UNDER PRESSURE. OPENING

THE LID WHEN THE FRYPOT IS PRESSURIZED

ALLOWS HOT SHORTENING AND STEAM TO

ESCAPE FROM THE FRYPOT, RESULTING IN

SEVERE BURNS.

14. After pressure drops to zero, turn the spindle counter-

clockwise.

Do not flip or spin the spindle cross arm when

opening the lid because it could damage the acme nut

inside the cross bar.

15. Unlatch and raise the lid quickly to allow most of the

condensation on the lid to drain through the drain

channel and not into the shortening.

Do not let the lid slam up against the backstop

because damage to the hinge could result.

16. Using the detachable handle, lift the basket and inspect

product for doneness. Dump product into holding pan.

17. If a Quality time (hold time) was programmed, the

controller automatically starts the hold timer. The

display alternately shows the product selected and the

quality time remaining in minutes. If a different

product is selected during the Hold Cycle, the display

only shows the product selected.

103 1-9

Model 8000 Computron

1-5. BASIC OPERATIONS 18. At the end of the Hold Mode, a tone sounds, the

AND PROCEDURES display flashes “QUALITY”, and the product it was

(Continued) timing. Press and release .

In the Cook Mode, when “FILTER SUGGESTED”,

shows in the display, the operator has the option to

filter at this time, or to continue cooking. But, if the

operator continues cooking, a Filter Lockout occurs

within the next Cook Cycle, or two.

The shortening continues to heat when filter lockout occurs.

If the shortening temperature is below the preset temperature

in the Special Program Mode (SP-8C or SP-8D), a tone

sounds and “FILTER LOCKOUT”, and then “WAIT” shows

on the display. Once the shortening temperature reaches the

preset temperature, "FILTER LOCKOUT" , and then "YOU

*MUST* FILTER NOW........” shows in the display and the

shortening can now be filtered. During filter lockout,

is the only button that functions, until the unit is filtered.

Follow the steps in the 500/561/600 Operator’s Manual on

filtering.

1-6. CLEAN-OUT MODE The Computron 8000 has a Clean-Out Mode to clean the

frypot upon initial start-up and every change of shortening.

Follow the steps in the 500/561/600 Operator’s Manual on

Cleaning the Frypot.

When heating the cleaning solution and vinegar solutions,

turn the COOK/PUMP switch to COOK. When the fryer

starts the Melt Cycle, press and hold then

“CLEAN-OUT ?”, “1=YES 2=NO” shows in display. Press

to start Clean-Out Mode. The fryer displays

“*CLEAN-OUT MODE*” and heats up to a preprogrammed

temperature, up to 195˚F (91˚C), then automatically begins a

preset timed countdown. Use the buttons, if

necessary, to adjust the temperature and keep the cleaning

solution from boiling over. See Special Program Modes

SP-10 and SP-11 to preset the temperature and time.
