Inspecting the Temperature and Level Probes

Some locations may choose to do this procedure on a more frequent basis (i.e., quarterly, semi-annually, or other frequency).

To avoid electrical shock or property damage, move the power switch to OFF and disconnect power.

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

Ensure the temperature and level probes are undamaged and working within specification by doing the following:

  1. Press and hold the menu button until *MAIN* appears on the display.

  2. Press the number one product button to enter the filter menu.

     

  3. Press the right arrow until 4. DRAIN -> displays.

  4. Select 4. DRAIN ->, and drain all the oil in the vat into the filter pan.

  5. On the inside of the vat, clean off any build up or debris from the temperature probe and level probe. If a probe is bent or damaged, replace the probe.

  6. Check that each probe is inserted into the vat 3/8 inch into the oil. If a probe either extends too far into the oil or is too shallow, do the following:

    1. Remove the left side panel.

    2. Adjust the probe to the correct depth by loosening the ½ inch compression nut on the temperature probe.

    3. Slide the probe to the correct depth then tighten the compression nut.

  7. Select 5. FILL <-. Allow oil to fully fill the vat. Once filled, cancel the filter pump motor and exit out of the filter menu by pressing and holding the menu button.

  8. Continue to the next inspection or reinstall components as applicable.
