SERVICE  
WARNING: HOT OIL AND PARTS CAN CAUSE BURNS. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING OR  
SERVICING THE FRYER.  
WARNING: SPILLING HOT OIL CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. DO NOT MOVE FRYER WITHOUT DRAINING  
ALL OIL FROM THE TANK.  
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND PLACE A TAG AT THE DISCONNECT  
SWITCH TO INDICATE THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON THE CIRCUIT BEFORE PERFORMING ANY SERVICE.  
CHECKING THERMOSTAT CALIBRATION  
The fryer thermostat is carefully calibrated at the factory so that dial settings match actual frying compound  
temperatures. Field recalibration is seldom necessary, unless the fryer has been mishandled in transit or  
abused. Recalibration should not be resorted to unless considerable experience with cooking results definitely  
proves that the control is not maintaining the temperature to which the dial is set.  
1. To check frying compound temperatures when recalibrating, use a precision test instrument, or a good  
grade mercury thermometer. Fill fry tank with frying compound to "FULL" mark.  
2. Check frying compound temperature at the center of the tank, approximately 1" to 11/2" below surface of  
frying compound.  
3. Turn dial of thermostat being checked to the 350°F mark.  
4. Allow temperature to stabilize, or until thermostat cycles to OFF three times after starting with cold frying  
compound. With power ON, read highest and lowest frying compound temperature, as thermostat cycles  
through at least two cycles. Average the reading.  
5. Thermostat should be recalibrated if temperature reading is not within 10 degrees of the control knob  
setting (350°F plus or minus 10°F). If recalibration is required, continue with steps 6, 7, 8 and 9.  
6. Remove control knob by grasping outer edge and pulling straight out, without twisting or turning.  
7. Hold thermostat dial shaft "B" (Fig. 1) stationary with pliers, and with a screwdriver, turn screw "A" (Fig. 1)  
1
clockwise to obtain a lower temperature, or counterclockwise for higher temperature. Each /4 turn (90°  
rotation) of screw "A" represents 18°F.  
8. Replace thermostat control knob.  
9. Recheck thermostat as in Steps 4 and 5 above. If the frying compound temperature is not within 20  
degrees of dial setting (350°F plus or minus 20°F), it means that the sensing element is inoperative, and  
the thermostatic control should be replaced.

REPLACING RED ON-OFF SWITCH, YELLOW CYCLING LIGHT OR CIRCUIT BREAKER. (ALSO WHITE  
"MELT ON" SWITCH AND MELT CYCLE CONTROL ASSEMBLY FOR MELT CYCLE OPERATION)  
1. Remove thermostat control knob by grasping outer edge and pulling straight out, without twisting or turning.  
2. Remove two screws at top of front panel. Pull top edge to open.  
3. Disconnect leads to switch, light or circuit breaker, and remove the damaged component. Mark disconnected  
leads to identify them.  
4. Mount the new circuit breaker (or melt cycle control) with fasteners provided. The new switch, or light, is  
snapped into place from the front of the panel.  
5. Connect leads to corresponding terminals on new component. Check completed circuit against circuit  
diagram on rear panel.  
6. Reverse steps 1 and 2 to close front panel.  
REPLACING MAGNETIC CONTACTOR, TERMINAL BLOCK, GROUND LUG OR AUXILIARY TERMINAL  
BLOCK  
1. Remove four screws securing rear panel to fryer. Let the rear panel fall down straight before pulling it out.  
2. Disconnect leads to the damaged component.  
3. Connect the leads to corresponding terminal on the new component.  
4. Remove screws securing the damaged component to the mounting panel.

MEF24A ELECTRIC FRYER REPLACEMENT PARTS  
5. Remove the damaged component and install a new component in the same position.  
6. Check completed circuit against circuit diagram on rear panel.  
7. Mount the rear panel and put fryer in operation.  
REPLACING BLOWN FUSES OR FUSE BLOCK  
1. Remove four screws securing rear panel to fryer. Let rear panel fall down straight before pulling it out.  
2. Remove damaged fuses and replace with 40 Ampere one time fuse.  
3. To replace fuse block, remove fuses and disconnect wire leads to the damaged fuse block. Mark disconnected  
leads to identify them.  
4. Replace new fuse block in the same position.  
5. Connect leads to corresponding terminal on new fuse block. Check completed circuit against circuit diagram  
on rear panel.  
REPLACING ELEMENT  
1. Remove screws securing pivotal head cover to pivotal head. Remove pivotal head cover and gasket.  
2. Lift up the elements to drain position.  
3. Remove thermostat bulb and capillary tube clamps.  
4. Remove element support assembly.  
5. Disconnect leads to element and mark them for identification.  
6. Remove the element retaining nuts inside the pivotal head.  
7. Remove element. Mount the new element and reverse steps 1 through 6 to reassemble.  
REPLACING HI-LIMIT THERMOSTAT  
1. Remove screws securing pivotal head cover to pivotal head. Remove pivotal head cover and gasket.  
2. Remove Hi-Limit thermostat bulb and capillary tube clamps from element.  
3. Dislodge capillary bushing from hole in pivotal head.  
4. Remove bushing and thread the thermostat capillary and bulb through hole in pivotal head.  
5. Disconnect leads to the damaged Hi-Limit thermostat and transfer them to corresponding leads on new  
thermostat.  
6. Remove screws securing the thermostat.  
7. Secure new Hi-Limit thermostat with screws and reverse steps 1 through 4 to reassemble.
