BIGLA30 SERIES GEN II LOV™GAS FRYER  
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION  
NOTE: The Frymaster BIGLA30 fryer requires a start-up, demonstration and training  
before normal restaurant operations can begin.  
1.1  
General  
Read the instructions in this manual thoroughly before attempting to operate this equipment. This manual covers  
all configurations of models and BIGLA30 LOV™ fryers. Models designated BIGLA30 are equipped with Foot-  
Print Pro built-in filtration systems. The fryers in this model family have most parts in common, and when  
discussed as a group, will be referred to as “LOV™ fryers.  
Although similar in appearance to the BIPH55 McDonald’s fryers, the BIGLA30 LOV™ fryers feature a low oil  
volume frypot, auto top-off and an automatic intermittent filtration unit. The Euro-Look design incorporates a  
rounded topcap and a large round drain which ensures that fries and other debris will be washed into the filter pan.  
The BIGLA30 LOV™ fryers are controlled with an M3000 computer. Fryers in this series come in full- or split-  
vat arrangements, and can be purchased in batteries of up to five vats.  
LOV™ high-efficiency gas fryers employ a unique infrared burner system that uses up to 43% less energy to cook  
the same volume as conventional open-burner fryers.  
LOV™ gas fryers are of an open-frypot design with no tubes, which makes cleaning the stainless frypot quick and  
easy.  
Heating is supplied by a pair of infrared burner assemblies mounted on each side of the frypot. A dedicated  
blower mounted on the front of the frypot supplies combustion air for the burners. LOV™ Gas fryers can be  
configured for natural gas, propane (LP), or manufactured gas, as required by the customer.  
Each frypot is equipped with a temperature probe for precise temperature control.  
All fryers in this series require an external source of AC electrical power. Units can be configured for voltages  
ranging from 100 VAC to 240 VAC.  
BIGLA30 LOV™ fryers are shipped completely assembled. All fryers are shipped with a package of standard  
accessories. Each fryer is adjusted, tested, and inspected at the factory before crating for shipment.  
This appliance is only for professional use and shall be used by qualified personnel only, as defined in  
Section 1.6.

CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
2.1  
General Installation Requirements  
Proper installation is essential for the safe, efficient, trouble-free operation of this appliance.  
Qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel, as defined in Section 1.6 of this  
manual, should perform all installation and service on Frymaster equipment.  
Conversion of this appliance from one type of gas to another should only be performed by qualified, li-  
censed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel as defined in Section 1.6 of this manual.  
Failure to use qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel (as defined in Section  
1.6 of this manual) to install, convert to another gas type or otherwise service this equipment will void the  
Frymaster warranty and may result in damage to the equipment or injury to personnel.  
Where conflicts exist between instructions and information in this manual and local or national codes or  
regulations, installation and operation shall comply with the codes or regulations in force in the country in  
which the equipment is installed.  
Service may be obtained by contacting your local Frymaster Dean Factory Authorized Service Agency.  
DANGER  
Building codes prohibit a fryer with its open tank of hot oil being installed beside an  
open flame of any type, including those of broilers and ranges.  
Upon arrival, inspect the fryer carefully for visible or concealed damage. (See Shipping Damage Claim Proce-  
dure in Section 1.7 of this manual.)  
2.1.1 Clearance and Ventilation  
The fryer(s) must be installed with a 6” (150 mm) clearance at both sides and back when installed adjacent to  
combustible construction; no clearance is required when installed adjacent to noncombustible construction. A  
minimum of 24” (600 mm) clearance should be provided at the front of the fryer.  
WARNING  
Do not block the area around the base or under the fryers.  
DANGER  
No structural material on the fryer should be altered or removed to accommodate  
placement of the fryer under a hood. Questions? Call the Frymaster Dean Service  
Hotline at 1-800-551-8633.  
One of the most important considerations of efficient fryer operation is ventilation. Make sure the fryer is installed  
so that products of combustion are removed efficiently, and that the kitchen ventilation system does not produce  
drafts that interfere with burner operation.  
2-1  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The fryer flue opening must not be placed close to the intake of the exhaust fan, and the fryer must never have its  
flue extended in a “chimney” fashion. An extended flue will change the combustion characteristics of the fryer,  
causing longer recovery time. It also frequently causes delayed ignition. To provide the airflow necessary for  
good combustion and burner operation, the areas surrounding the fryer front, sides, and rear must be kept clear and  
unobstructed.  
DANGER  
This appliance must be installed with sufficient ventilation to prevent the occurrence  
of unacceptable concentrations of substances harmful to the health of personnel in  
the room in which it is installed.  
Fryers must be installed in an area with an adequate air supply and adequate ventilation. Adequate distances must  
be maintained from the flue outlet of the fryer to the lower edge of the ventilation filter bank. Filters should be  
installed at an angle of 45º. Place a drip tray beneath the lowest edge of the filter. For U.S. installation, NFPA  
standard No. 96 states, “A minimum distance of 18 in. (450 mm) should be maintained between the flue outlet and  
the lower edge of the grease filter.” Frymaster recommends that the minimum distance be 24 in. (600 mm) from  
the flue outlet to the bottom edge of the filter when the appliance consumes more than 120,000 BTU per hour.  
For installations in the United States, information on construction and installation of ventilating hoods can be  
found in the NFPA standard cited above. A copy of the standard may be obtained from the National Fire  
Protection Association, Battery March Park, Quincy, MA 02269.  
2.1.2 National Code Requirements  
The type of gas for which the fryer is equipped is stamped on the data plate attached to the inside of the fryer door.  
Connect a fryer stamped “NAT” only to natural gas, those stamped “PRO” only to propane gas, and those stamped  
“MFG” only to manufactured gas.  
Installation shall be made with a gas connector that complies with national and local codes, and, where applicable,  
CE codes. Quick-disconnect devices, if used, shall likewise comply with national, local, and, if applicable, CE  
codes. In the absence of local codes, installation must conform to the national Fuel Gas Code, ANSI  
Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation code, CSA B149.1, as applicable including:  
1.  
2.  
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected form the gas supply piping system  
during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).  
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff  
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at trest pressures equal to or less than ½  
psi (3.5 kPa).  
2.1.3 Electrical Grounding Requirements  
All electrically operated appliances must be grounded in accordance with all applicable national and local codes,  
and, where applicable, CE codes. In the absence of local codes, the appliance must be grounded in accordance  
with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2, as applicable. All

b. Place the power switch in the ON position.  
For fryers having computers, verify that the display indicates ON.  
If the store is equipped with a hood interlock system, the hood exhaust fan should be on. If not, the  
store hood interlock system is improperly wired and must be corrected.  
c. Place the fryer power switch in the OFF position. Verify that the display indicates OFF. The hood  
exhaust system should be off when all computers display OFF.  
4. Refer to the data plate on the inside of the fryer door to determine if the fryer burner is configured for the  
proper type of gas before connecting the fryer quick-disconnect device or piping from the gas supply line.  
5. Verify the minimum and maximum gas supply pressures for the type of gas to be used in accordance with the  
accompanying tables.

Connection to Gas Line  
DANGER  
Before connecting new pipe to this appliance, the pipe must be blown out thor-  
oughly to remove all foreign material. Foreign material in the burner and gas con-  
trols will cause improper and dangerous operation.  
DANGER  
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas  
supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in  
excess of ½ PSI (3.45 kPa, 13.84 inches W.C.) to avoid damage to the fryer’s gas  
tubes and gas valve(s).

DANGER  
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its in-  
dividual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping  
system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ PSI (3.45 kPa, 13.84 inches W.C.)  
DANGER  
“Dry-firing” your unit will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire. Always  
ensure that cooking oil or water is in the frypot before firing the unit.  
DANGER  
All connections must be sealed with a joint compound suitable for the gas being  
used and all connections must be tested with a solution of soapy water before light-  
ing any pilots.  
Never use matches, candles, or any other ignition source to check for leaks. If gas  
odors are detected, shut off the gas supply to the appliance at the main shut-off  
valve and immediately contact the local gas company or an authorized service agen-  
cy for service.  
The size of the gas line used for installation is very important. If the line is too small, the gas pressure at the  
burner manifold will be low. This may cause slow recovery and delayed ignition. The incoming gas supply line  
should be a minimum of 1½” (38 mm) in diameter. Refer to the chart on the following page for the minimum sizes  
of connection piping.

After Fryers are Positioned at the Frying Station  
DANGER  
No structural material on the fryer should be altered or removed to accommodate placement of the  
fryer under a hood. Questions? Call the Frymaster Dean Service Hotline at 1-800-551-8633.  
1. Once the fryer has been positioned at the frying station, use a carpenter’s level placed across the top of the  
frypot to verify that the unit is level, both side-to-side and front-to-back.  
To level fryers, adjust the casters being careful to ensure the fryer(s) are at the proper height in the frying sta-  
tion.  
When the fryer is leveled in its final position, install the restraints provided by the KES to limit its movement  
so that it does not depend on or transmit stress to the connection. Install the restraints in accordance with the  
provided instructions. If the restraints are disconnected for service or other reasons, they must be reconnected  
before the fryer is used.  
DANGER  
Hot oil can cause severe burns. Avoid contact. Under all circumstances, oil must be removed from the  
fryer before attempting to move it to avoid spills, falls, and severe burns. Fryers may tip and cause  
personal injury if not secured in a stationary position.  
DANGER  
Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of this appliance without depending on the  
connector and the quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit the appliance movement.  
2. Clean, and fill frypot(s) with cooking oil. (See Equipment Setup and Shutdown Procedures in Chapter 3.)

3.1  
Equipment Setup and Shutdown Procedures  
WARNING  
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of  
the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects  
of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.  
CAUTION  
Before lighting the fryer, make sure the fryer is OFF and the frypot drain valves are  
closed. Remove the basket support rack(s), if installed, and fill the frypot to the  
bottom OIL-LEVEL line.  
3.1.1 Setup  
WARNING  
Never operate this appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with wa-  
ter or oil before lighting the burners. Failure to do so will damage the frypot 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 BIGLA30 is not intended to use solid shortening. Use only liquid shortening  
with this fryer. The use of solid shortening will clog the top off oil lines. The oil  
capacity of the BIGLA30 LOV™ gas fryer is 32 lbs. (3.8 gallons/14.5 liters) at 70°F  
(21°C) for a full-vat and 18 lbs. (2.2 gallons/8.33 liters) at 70°F (21°C) for each half of a  
dual-vat.  
Prior to filling frypots with oil, ensure all drains are closed.  
1. Fill the frypot with cooking oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot.  
This will allow for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill cold oil any higher than the bot-  
tom line; overflow may occur as heat expands the oil.  
2. Ensure that the power cord(s) is/are plugged 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 oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the oil is at its cooking temperature.

3.1.2 Lighting the Fryer  
1. Press the computer ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.  
For CE Fryers  
For Non-CE Fryers  
Placing the ON/OFF switch in the OFF  
position also turns off the gas valve. Wait five  
minutes before continuing with Step 2, which  
will also turn on the gas valve.  
After placing the ON/OFF switch in the OFF  
position, turn the gas valve knob to the OFF  
position. Wait 5 minutes, then turn the knob  
to the ON postion and proceed with Step 2.  
2. Press the computer ON/OFF switch to the ON position.  
3. If the burners fail to light, press the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position and wait 60 seconds.  
Repeat step 2.  
4. The fryer will automatically enter the melt cycle mode if the frypot temperature is below 180ºF  
(82ºC) and will display MLT-CYCL alternating with LOW TEMP. (NOTE: During the melt  
cycle, the burners will repeatedly fire for a few seconds, then go out for a longer period.) When  
the frypot temperature reaches 180ºF (82ºC), the unit will automatically switch to the heating  
mode and LOW TEMP is displayed until within 15°F (9°C) of setpoint. The burners will  
remain lit until the frypot temperature reaches the programmed cooking temperature. Once the  
fryer reaches setpoint, the computer display changes to the product or dashed lines and the fryer  
is ready for use.  
5. After the burners have been lit for at least 90 seconds, observe the flames through the burner  
viewing ports located on each side of the combustion air blower.

the drain. To remove the cover, lift up on the front edge slightly and slip the oil guard up and pull it  
straight out of the cabinet. Refer to the documentation furnished with your disposal unit for specific  
operating instructions. If a shortening disposal unit is not available, allow the oil to cool to 100°F  
(38°C), then drain the oil into a METAL container with a capacity of FOUR gallons (15 liters) or  
larger to prevent oil from spilling.

CHAPTER 5: FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS  
5.1  
Introduction  
The FootPrint Pro filtration system allows the oil in one frypot to be safely and efficiently filtered  
while the other frypots in a battery remain in operation.  
Section 5.2 covers preparation of the filter system for use. Operation of the system is covered in  
Section 5.3.  
WARNING  
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of  
the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects  
of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.  
WARNING  
The filter pad or paper MUST be replaced daily.  
5.2  
Preparing the Filter for Use  
1. Pull the filter pan out from the cabinet  
and remove the crumb tray, hold-down  
ring, filter pad (or paper), and filter  
screen. (See Figure 1) Clean all metal  
parts with a solution of All Purpose  
Concentrate and hot water then dry  
thoroughly.  
The pan cover must not be removed  
except for cleaning, interior access, or to  
allow  
a
shortening disposal unit  
(MSDU) to be positioned under the  
drain. If using an MSDU built before  
January 2004 see instructions on page 4-  
16.  
Figure 1  
2. Inspect the filter pan connection fitting  
to ensure that both O-rings are in good  
condition. (See Figure 2)  
Inspect the filter  
connection fitting  
O-rings.

3. Then in reverse order, place the metal filter screen in the center of the bottom of the pan, then lay  
a filter pad over the screen, ensuring that the rough side of the pad is up. Make sure that the pad  
is in between the embossed ridges of the filter pan. Then position the hold down ring on top of  
the pad. If using filter paper, lay a sheet of filter paper over the top of the pan overlapping on all  
sides. Position the hold down ring over the filter paper and lower the ring into the pan, allowing  
the paper to fold up and around the ring as it is pushed to the bottom of the pan. Then sprinkle 1  
packet (8-ounces) of filter powder over the filter paper.  
4. Reinstall the crumb tray at the front of the pan. (See Figure 1)  
DO NOT USE FILTER POWDER WITH THE PAD!  
5. Push the filter pan back into the fryer, positioning it under the fryer. Ensure “A” is displayed on  
the MIB board. The filtration system is now ready for use.  
DANGER  
Do not drain more than one frypot at a time into the built-in filtration unit to avoid  
overflow and spillage of hot oil that may cause severe burns, slipping and falling.  
DANGER  
The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a  
fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles can  
spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.  
WARNING  
Do not bang fry baskets or other utensils on the fryer’s joiner strip. The strip is  
present to seal the joint between the fry vessels. Banging fry baskets on the strip to  
dislodge shortening will distort the strip, adversely affecting its fit. It is designed for  
a tight fit and should only be removed for cleaning.  
5.3 Auto Intermittent Filtration (AIF)  
Auto Intermittent Filtration (AIF) is a feature that, after a number of preset cook cycles or time, will  
automatically filter frypots.  
An M3000 computer controls the Auto Intermittent Filtration  
(AIF) system on the LOV™ fryer. After a preset number of cook  
cycles or time the computer displays FIltEr now?  
alternating with YES NO. The blue LED is activated  
simultaneously. The LED will turn off once a filtration cycle is  
started. If NO is selected or a cook cycle is started, the blue LED  
will go off and will prompt again soon to filter the oil.  
1. Press 9 (1) YES to start filtration and 8 (2) NO to cancel  
filtration.  
5-2  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
If the oil level is too low, the computer displays OIL LEVEL TOO LOW alternating with  
YES. Press 9 (1) YES to acknowledge issue and return to idle cook mode. Check to see if the  
JIB is low on oil. If JIB is not low and this continues to occur, contact your ASA.  
If YES is chosen, SKIM VAT is displayed for ten seconds changing to cOnfIRm alternating  
with YES NO. Skim the crumbs from the oil with a front to back motion, removing as many  
crumbs as possible from each vat. This is critical to optimizing usable oil life and quality in the oil.  
Note:  
If NO is chosen in response to either FILTER now or CONFIRM, filtering is  
cancelled and the fryer resumes normal operation. The FILTER now prompt is  
displayed once the FILTER AFTER count is satisfied. This sequence repeats until yes is  
chosen.  
If the filter pan is not fully engaged, the computer displays INSERT PAN. Once the filter pan is  
pushed fully into place, the computer displays SKIM VAT.  
2. When 9 (1) YES is chosen, the auto filtration cycle is started. The fryer displays  
DRAINING, WASHING and FILLING during the process.  
Note: Simultaneous filtering of multiple vats does not occur.  
Once filtering is complete the computer display changes to low temp until the fryer reaches  
setpoint.  
Once fryer reaches setpoint and the computer display changes to the product name or dashed lines,  
the fryer is ready for use.  
The complete filtering process takes roughly four minutes.  
NOTE: If during filtration the filter pan is pulled, the filtration process stops and resumes once pan  
is reseated into place.  
DANGER  
Keep all items out of drains. Closing actuators may cause damage or injury.

6.1  
Fryer Preventive Maintenance Checks and Service  
DANGER  
The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a fireproof con-  
tainer at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles can spontaneously  
combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.  
DANGER  
Never attempt to clean the fryer during the frying process or when the frypot is filled with hot  
oil. If water comes in contact with oil heated to frying temperature, it will cause spattering of  
the oil, which can result in severe burns to nearby personnel.  
WARNING  
Use McDonald’s All Purpose Concentrate. Read the directions for use and precautionary  
statements before use. Particular attention must be paid to the concentration of cleaner and  
the length of time the cleaner remains on the food-contact surfaces.  
6.2  
DAILY CHECKS AND SERVICE  
6.2.1 Inspect Fryer and Accessories for Damage  
Look for loose or frayed wires and cords, leaks, foreign material in frypot or inside cabinet, and any other indica-  
tions that the fryer and accessories are not ready and safe for operation.  
6.2.2 Clean Fryer Cabinet Inside and Out - Daily  
Clean inside the fryer cabinet with dry, clean cloth. Wipe all accessible metal surfaces and components to remove  
accumulations of oil and dust.  
Clean the outside of the fryer cabinet with a clean, damp cloth soaked with McDonald’s All Purpose Concentrate,  
removing oil, dust, and lint from the fryer cabinet. Wipe with a clean, damp cloth.  
6.2.3 Clean the Built-In Filtration System - Daily

Concentrate.  
If you notice that the system is pumping slowly or not at all, verify that the filter pan screen is on the bottom of the  
filter pan, with the pad on top of the screen. Verify that the two O-ring(s) on the fitting at the right front of the  
filter pan are present and in good condition.  
6.3  
WEEKLY CHECKS AND SERVICE  
6.3.1 Clean Behind Fryers  
Clean behind fryers in accordance with the procedure detailed in the maintenance requirement card. Shut off and  
disconnect the gas. Use the manual gas shut-off valve to shut off the gas supply. The manual gas shut-off valve is lo-  
cated on the supply line before the quick disconnects. Then disconnect the gas line from the fryer via the quick  
disconnect.  
WARNING  
To ensure the safe and efficient operation of the fryer and hood, the electrical plug for the  
120-volt line, which powers the hood, must be fully engaged and locked in its pin and sleeve  
socket.  
6.3.2 Cleaning the Frypot - Quarterly  
DANGER  
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with water or oil  
before lighting the burners. Failure to do so will damage the frypot and may cause a fire.  
6.3.2.1 Deep Clean (Boiling Out) the Frypot  
During normal usage of your fryer, a deposit of carbonized oil will gradually form on the inside of the frypot. This  
film should be periodically removed by following the deep-clean (boil-out) procedure contained in Kay Chemical  
“Fryer Deep Clean Procedure” instructions. Refer to page 4-25 for specific details on setting up the computer for  
deep clean (boil-out) operation.  
DANGER  
Allow oil to cool to 100ºF (38ºC) or lower before draining to an appropriate container for  
disposal.  
WARNING  
Never leave the fryer unattended during this process. If the solution overflows, press the  
ON/OFF switch to the OFF position immediately.  
DANGER  
Ensure that the frypot is completely free of water before filling with oil. When the oil is  
heated to cooking temperature, water in the frypot will cause splattering.  
6.3.3 Clean Filter Pan, Detachable Parts and Accessories  
As with the frypot, a deposit of carbonized oil will accumulate on the filter pan and detachable parts and  
accessories such as baskets, sediment trays, or fishplates.

Introduction  
This chapter provides an easy reference guide to some of the common problems that may occur  
during the operation of your equipment. The troubleshooting guides that follow are intended to help  
you correct, or at least accurately diagnose, problems with your 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. Most importantly, always try to establish a clear  
idea of why a problem has occurred. Part of your 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. 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.  
If you are in doubt as to the proper action to take, do not hesitate to call the Frymaster Technical  
Service Department or your local Frymaster Factory Authorized Service Agency for assistance.  
Before calling a servicer or the Frymaster HOTLINE (1-800-551-8633):  
Verify that electrical cords are plugged in and that circuit breakers are on.  
Verify that gas line quick-disconnects are properly connected.  
Verify that any gas line cutoff valves are open.  
Verify that frypot drain valves are fully closed.  
Have your fryer’s model and serial numbers ready to give 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.

APPENDIX A: RTI (BULK OIL) INSTRUCTIONS  
NOTE: The instructions in this manual for using a bulk oil system for filling and discarding oil are for  
an RTI system. These instructions may not be applicable to other bulk oil systems.  
A.1.1 Bulk Oil Systems  
Bulk oil systems have large oil storage tanks,  
typically located in the rear of the restaurant,  
that are connected to a rear manifold on the  
fryer. Waste oil is pumped from the fryer, via  
the fitting located on the bottom, to the  
disposal tanks and fresh oil is pumped from

exposing the RTI connection and connect the  
RTI connection to the fryer (see Figure 2). Set  
the fryer to bulk through the setup mode and  
set all computers to bulk oil. See Section 4.9  
on page 4-9. It is imperative that the fryer  
system be completely power cycled after

starts. It may take up to 20 seconds before the level in the JIB begins to rise. Typically it takes  
approximately three minutes to fill the JIB. It takes approximately one minute to fill a split vat and  
two minutes to fill a full vat.
