Only perform this procedure when the unit is cool or severe burns may result.

Burn Risk

To avoid burns, do not move the fryer while containing hot oil.

  1. Turn the power switch off.

  2. Ensure fryer is cool to the touch before moving.

  3. Pull out the fryer, and then unplug from the power source.

  4. Remove rear blower shroud.

  5. Remove the switch housing using a crosstip driver or bit.

  6. Using needle nose pliers, carefully disconnect the switch wires.

  7. Disconnect the tube from the switch.

  8. Remove switch from the cover.

  9. Using a step bit or bit, open the switch nozzle opening of the box to about 17/32. (roughly another 1/8th of an inch on the side facing the inside of the fryer). This should allow enough room for the new switch nozzle to pass through.

  12. Working in reverse, complete steps 4 through 1 and return fryer to service.
