MASTER JET CF SERIES ATMOSPHERIC GAS FRYERS CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES 1.1 Functional Description (cont.) MJCFE Series fryers equipped with computers have a temperature probe. In these units, the probe resistance varies directly with the temperature. That is, as the temperature rises, so does resistance at a rate of approximately 2 ohms for every 1° (F or C). Circuitry in the computer monitors the probe resistance and controls burner firing when the resistance exceeds or fal
