5.01.2 Controller General Operation

● POWER UP:Place Power Switch in [ON] position. Controller will power up and sound an alarm. The message “POWERFAILURE [PRESS START TO PREHEAT]” is shown on the Upper Display. This is normal, intended to prevent fryerfrom heating after power interruptions until attended by an operator. Pressing the [START] key silences thealarm and places fryer into PREHEAT mode. If Heat Switch is in the [HEAT] position, and temperature setpoint ishigher than the current actual oil temperature, heating elements will turn ON and cooking oil will begin to heat.DO NOT place Heat Switch in [HEAT] position unless vat is filled with cooking oil to the FULL level.

● PREHEAT:During PREHEAT, real-time actual oil temperature will be displayed on the Lower Display. When oil reaches theprogrammed setpoint, an alarm will sound, Upper Display will show message “ALARM - STIR OIL”. Vigorouslystir cooking oil in pot, and press [ALARM] key. Typically, oil temp drops when stirred. Controller delays for 10seconds and if temperature drops below setpoint during this time, PREHEAT continues until temp returns tosetpoint. This process helps to ensure more consistent temperature throughout the total volume of oil, leadingto better cooking performance. Upon reaching setpoint again, alarm sounds again and Upper Display shows“ALARM - SETPOINT REACHED”. Pressing the [ALARM] key, places fryer into READY state.

● READY STATE:Fryer is ready for cooking. The Lower Display changes to show current controller temp setpoint and the lastused fryer cook settings are shown on the Upper Display.

While in PREHEAT or READY state, user can change cook setting by selecting a different Menu Item Preset, seeSection 5.01.5.2, Selecting a Menu Preset -- OR -- can manually input different settings (time and/or temp), seeSection 5.01.3, Setting the Cooking Temperature & Section 5.01.4, Manually Setting the Cook Time.NOTE: If PASSCODE ENABLE parameter is set to ON, user cannot manually set cook time without first enteringthe proper password. This lockout feature provides a measure of control over cooking procedures.

-

● START:Current cook times (preset or manually set), are shown on the Upper Display for each basket side. To start acooking cycle press the [START} key + select side: [4] = Left, [6] = Right, [5] = Both.

5.01.11.1 Resolving Controller Errors & Alarms

NOTE: If an error condition cannot be resolved or continues to occur frequently, please contact a factory-authorized service agent, or call 800.554.4537 for Giles Technical Support.

● DRAIN OPEN (Error Code OPEN) - If the pot Drain Valve is open (even slightly) while Fryer power is ON, analarm tone sounds, Lower Display shows “OPEn”, and the Upper Display reads “ERROR ALARM - DRAIN ISOPEN”. When equipped, if a basket lift is down, it will be raised. Heating elements are disabled as long as thecondition exists.Press the [ALARM] key to silence alarm tone. Completely close the drain valve to clear the error. When error iscleared, alarm tone sounds again and the Upper Display reads “CHECK OIL LEVEL, ENSURE VAT IS FULL, IF FULLTHEN PRESS [START]”. This is a post-error alarm, alerting user to confirm that oil in the pot is still at the [FULL]level. Add oil if needed, then press the [START] key to return to PREHEAT mode.

● LOW OIL LEVEL (Error Code 03) - Alarm tone sounds, Lower Display shows “Er03”, and the Upper Display reads“ERROR ALARM - CHECK OIL LEVEL - ENSURE VAT IS FULL”. Heating elements are disabled until the condition iscorrected. The temperature differential between two sensors in the vat exceeds the acceptable value,indicating a low oil level. Low oil level greatly increases the possibility of fire! Press the [ALARM] key tosilence alarm tone, and place Heat Switch in [OFF] position. Allow the fryer to adequately cool and then add oilto raise level to the [FULL] mark.

● LOW OIL LEVEL Post-error Warning (Error Code 06) - After Error 03 clears, a warning alarm occurs. The LowerDisplay shows “Er06”, and Upper Display reads “CHECK OIL LEVEL - ENSURE VAT IS FULL - PRESS [START]”.This alarm alerts user to confirm that cooking oil in the vat is at the [FULL] level. If no oil is required press[START], otherwise press [ALARM] key to silence tone, add oil, then press [START] key to enter PREHEAT mode.

● MAX. ELEMENT TEMP (Error Code 19) - Heating element has exceeded the maximum allowed temperature.The alarm tone sounds, Lower Display shows “Er19”, and Upper Display shows “ERROR ALARM - MAXELEMENT TEMPERATURE”. Heating elements are automatically turned OFF. Elements must cool to anacceptable temperature to clear the error. Typically, this error is caused by low oil level, exposing the heatingelement. It is possible for false alarms to occur when preheating cold oil at initial startup of a new day.Vigorously stirring oil during preheat will usually prevent, or clear, a false alarm of this type.

● MAX ELEMENT TEMP Post-error Warning (Error Code 07) - After Error 19 is cleared, a warning alarm occurs.The Lower Display shows “Er07”, and Upper Display reads “MAX ELEMENT TEMP - PRESS [START]”. Thisalarm alerts user that a maximum element temperature error occurred and is now cleared. Press [START] keyto enter PREHEAT mode. Heating elements will not turn ON until [START] is pressed.

5.02 Cooking Procedures

1. Place the Power Switch ① is in the [ON] position, POWER light ② turns ON. Controller proceeds through thepower-up as explained in Section 5.01.10, Power Up Procedure. At this time, DO NOT press the [START] key asprompted on the Upper Display, but press [ALARM] reset key ⑤ to silence alarm.

2. Ensure that the Heat Switch ③ is in the [OFF] position. DO NOT place switch in [HEAT] position at this step.

3. While “POWER FAILURE” message is displayed, set the desired cooking oil temperature setpoint. See Section5.01.3, Setting the Cooking Temperature.

4. Ensure the Drain Valve ⑥ is in the [CLOSE] position (leftto stop).

IMPORTANT! Fryer will not heat unless drain valve isfully closed.

5. Fill the fry vat with liquid frying shortening ONLY to the[ADD] level mark ⑦. This allows for expansion as oil isheated to cooking temperature.

This section explains the procedure for cooking products on the GBF Fryer with a computer controller. Thisexplanation assumes starting with a clean empty Fryer.

6

Except when filtering oil, keep the OIL RETURN VALVE in the lower cabinet set in the [CLOSE]position. If valve is left in the [FILL POT] position, it is possible for oil to siphon back into the

filter pan, causing a low oil condition in the cook vat that can create a potential for oil fire.

6. If the unit is equipped with basket lifts and you want to use them, place Lift Switch ⑧ in the [LIFT] position. Iflifts are not installed, there is no Lift Switch.

7. Place Heat Switch ③ in the [HEAT] position; the amber HEAT light ⑨ turns ON and oil should begin heating tosetpoint. The Upper Display ④ indicates PREHEAT and the Lower Display ⑩ shows the real-time oiltemperature.

8. It is recommended that oil be stirred occasionally while heating to promote more even heating throughout thetotal volume of oil, by preventing the occurrence of “cool zones”. It is also helpful in preventing false HI-LIMITalarms, especially important during the initial heating of the day when shortening is cool and thickened.

9. When cooking oil reaches the programmed setpoint, an alarm sounds and the Upper Display reads “ALARM -STIR OIL”. Press the [ALARM] key ⑤ and vigorously stir oil. There is a 10 second delay and if oil temperaturedrops below setpoint while stirring, the controller remains in PREHEAT until setpoint is reached again. At thattime a second alarm will sound and the display will read “ALARM - SETPOINT REACHED”. Press the [ALARM] keyand controller enters READY state. Temperature displayed in the Lower Display ⑩ changes to the setpointtemperature.

Oil should now be evenly heated and ready for cooking.

NOTE: Basket Lift Models:If the fryer does have basket lifts and you do not want to use them, movelifts to the [UP] position and place the Lift Switch in the [OFF] position,then use basket carrier as a manual hanger.

During cooking operations, oil level MUST be maintained above the minimum (ADD) level. If this is not done,power to the heating elements may shutdown.



Use extreme caution when dropping product into HOT cooking oil! There is potential forsevere burn injury should hot oil contact unprotected skin, such as with an unexpected

splash. Introducing food items with excessive moisture, or trying to place a larger than recommended loadsize, into the cook vat can lead to a surge boil that can result in an overflow of HOT oil. Slowly load fooditems and observe how the hot oil reacts before continuing.

Never attempt to perform the filter process when shortening is cold. Doing so can clog thefilter system and possibly damage the unit. Oil must be heated to at least 200°F (93°C)

before it can be efficiently handled by the filter system.Always wear thermal protection, such as gloves or oven mitts, when performing the filtering process. Fryerparts inside the cabinet can be very HOT!

This section explains use of the on-board Oil Filtration System for reconditioning used cooking oil. The systemcirculates oil through filter media in the Filter Pan and back to the fryer vat. Routinely performing this procedurecan increase useful life of cooking oil by as much as 50%.

The fryer controller has a configurable FORCE FILTER feature, which can be set to force operating personnel toroutinely perform the filtering process after a preset number of cooking cycles have been completed. The feature isenabled and configured in User Settings, see Section 5.01.8:

• FORCE FILTER - [ON] or [OFF] • Factory default = [ON].[ON] = After completing a set number of cook cycles (FILTER COUNT), alarm sounds and message “ALARM -MUST FILTER OIL” is displayed on Upper Display screen. Pressing the [ALARM] key silences alarm and fryerenters FILTER MODE. Unit will be disabled from continued operation until the filtering process is properlycompleted.[OFF] = After completing a set number of cook cycles (FILTER COUNT), alarm sounds and messuage “ALARM -

FILTER OIL” is displayed on Upper Display screen. Pressing the [ALARM] key silences alarm and fryer returnsto READY state ... not disabled. The unit can continue to be used, however the alarm is issued and theprompt is displayed after every subsequent cook cycle until filtering is performed.

• FILTER COUNT - 1 to 20 • Factory default = 4.The number of cook cycles that can be performed before fryer enters FILTER MODE.

• FORCE FILTER SNOOZE - [ON] or [OFF] • Factory default = [OFF].Effective only when FORCE FILTER is [ON].[ON] = Allows operator to cook one (1) additional load of product after FILTER COUNT has been reached,before unit enters FILTER MODE and is disabled.[OFF] = No additional cook cycle is allowed.

In addition to global FORCE FILTER, each Menu Item Preset contains a FISH FILTER setting, which when set to [ON],overrides the global setting and enters FILTER MODE after cooking only (1) batch of the particular Menu Item. Thisadditional feature is typically used for seafood items in an attempt to minimize possibility of flavor transfer. SeeSection 5.01.5.1, Editing a Menu Item Preset for more detail.

6.01 Boil-Out Procedure - Cleaning the Fry Vat


This section describes procedures for cleaning and maintaining GBF Series Fryers, which are necessary to keep themin good operating condition. General cleaning of the appliance should be performed daily and other activitiesshould be preformed as described by the following.

The following explains a Boil-Out Procedure for cleaning the fryer vat and heating elements. The procedure mustbe performed before cooking with the new fryer, and should be performed promptly before refilling fryer with freshcooking oil after old is removed and discarded.For proper maintenance and to ensure satisfactory operation and food quality, the procedure should beperformed every 7 to 10 days, however, exact timing of oil replacement is highly dependent on many factors. Oiltesting kits, which can help accurately determine oil condition and when replacement is needed, are availablefrom most restaurant supply providers.

• The Boil-Out process does not require a rolling boil ... nevertheless, DO NOT leave fryer unattended duringthe procedure. It should be carefully monitored for accidental overflow, which can result in seriousequipment damage.

• The boil-out solution and fryer will become very HOT ... always wear thermal hand protection when drainingand cleaning, as well as, other personal protective equipment, such as face-shield and latex apron.

• When using fryer degreaser/cleaner products, closely follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use. Manyavailable products may contain chemicals, which require special precautions. If used improperly, equipmentdamage and/or personal injury could result.

1. Remove waste cooking oil from the fryer as described in Section 5.04, RemovingWaste Cooking Oil.

2. Confirm that the Drain Valve Handle ① is in the fully [CLOSE] position.

3. Ensure Heat Switch is in the [OFF] position.

4. Use absorbent wipes to clean as much waste oil residue as possible from vat and heatingelements. Begin filling vat with clean ambient water.

5. Use a reputable fryer cleaning product and carefully follow the manufacturer’s usagedirections. Add the recommended amount to vat while filling, stir to mix, and fill to the[FULL] level mark ②.
