What does Taylor Freezers F2 mean?
F2 in the Taylor R280 Manager Function Menu is the Set Basket Load Targets function. It allows the weight targets for each of the three dispense sizes (Small, Medium, Large) to be customized. Targets are adjustable in 0.05 lb (22.6 g) increments within the range of 0.25 lb to 2.0 lb (113–907 g). Accurate load targets are essential for consistent portion control and minimizing waste at the fry station.
Symptoms
- Dispensed portions are consistently over or under the intended basket weight.
- The electronic weighing system stops dispensing before reaching the expected load.
- Basket load targets displayed in F2 do not match the site's portion specification sheet.
- Portion consistency degrades after a controller board replacement or reset.
Common causes
- Factory default targets do not match the site's portion-size requirements.
- A controller reset reverted custom targets to defaults.
- Unit-system change (F5) made previous targets appear incorrect in the new unit display.
- Product density change (e.g., different fry cut size) requires target recalibration.

Diagnostic steps
Enter the Manager Menu and navigate to F2
Access the Manager Menu with the correct button sequence and password if set. Scroll to 'F2' and press Enter to open the Set Basket Load Targets function.
Select the basket load size to adjust
The display shows the current load size (Small, Medium, or Large). Use the Up or Down buttons to select the size you want to configure, then press Enter.
Adjust the target weight
Press the Up button to increase the target in 0.05 lb (22.6 g) increments, or the Down button to decrease it. The valid range is 0.25 lb to 2.0 lb (113–907 g). Standard defaults are Small=0.50 lb, Medium=1.0 lb, Large=1.5 lb.
Press Enter to save the target
Press Enter to store the new target for that load size. The controller saves the value and advances to the next load size for adjustment.
Repeat for all three load sizes, then exit via F1
Set targets for Small, Medium, and Large as needed. After completing all adjustments, navigate to F1 and press Enter to exit the Manager Menu. Run test dispense cycles to verify each portion size meets specification.
When to call a professional
Contact a Taylor service technician if dispense weights are consistently off from the programmed targets despite correct F2 settings. This indicates a weighing system calibration issue or a load cell fault that requires instrument-level calibration or component replacement beyond operator-level adjustment.
