The Belshaw’s Insider™ (Donut Frying System) comprehensively addresses all fire
prevention, clean air, sanitation and electrical requirements and the self-contained unit
meets or exceeds local standards. The Insider houses one of the following Donut Robot
Fryers; MKII, MKV or MKIX and is UL197 Listed under ETL #68183.
• Tested to UL197 standards for Commercial Electric Cooking Appliances with
Recirculating Systems and Listed under ETL #68183.
• Intended for installation and use to NFPA-96 Standard For Ventilation Control
and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations.
Fire Prevention/ Suppression System
The Insider™ uses the Pyro-Chem Restaurant Fire Suppression System. It is a preengineered type as defined by NFPA-17A Standard for Wet Chemical Extinguishing
Systems and is designed to provide fire protection for restaurant cooking appliances,
hoods, and ducts.
The Pyro-Chem System (PLC-240/300 KITCHEN KNIGHT II) utilizes a wet chemical
agent specifically designed to suppress restaurant-cooking fires. The system
provides automatic actuation and can be manually actuated through a remote
mechanical pull station. Upon actuation, the system discharges a pre-determined
amount of agent to the duct, plenum, and cooking appliances. The agent acts to
suppress fires in 3 ways:
• Both the agent itself and the resulting steam formation interrupt the chemical
chain reaction causing combustion.
• The agent cools the fire bringing it below auto-ignition temperature.
• The agent reacts with hot grease forming a soap-like layer (saponification)
that helps prevent the escape of combustible vapors, thus preventing reignition.
The Pyro-Chem Restaurant Fire Suppression System has been tested to the UL
Standard for Fire Extinguishing Systems For Protection of Restaurant Cooking
Areas, UL300 and Pyro-Chem listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. under
ULC/ORD-C1254.6-1995 listing meets Underwriters Laboratories of Canada’s
standards.
Clean Air- Ozone and Emissions
The Insider™ meets the emission requirements of 5.0mg/m3 as measured at the
exhaust outlet of the system per the requirements of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Test Method 202, Determination of Condensable Particulate Emissions
from Stationary Sources, which is referenced in NFPA-96 (Test results 1.81 mg/m3) UL
File E213302.
Underwriters Laboratories also tested it at well below the maximum ozone levels
permitted of 0.1ppm time-weighted average with a maximum peak concentration of
0.3ppm (Test results less than 0.015 ppm).
Sanitation
The Insider™ is built in accordance with NSF International Standard No. 4, for
commercial cooking and hot food storage equipment and conforms to ANSI/NSF STD 4
(ETL Listing #68183).
The fryer portion, Donut Robot Mark II, Mark V, or the Mark IX, is separately ETL
Classified in accordance with NSF International Standard No. 4. One of the above
models is used in each Insider™:
Materials employed have been found to be able to withstand normal wear, penetration of
vermin, corrosive action of foods, cleaning products, and other elements in the end use
environment. The materials do not impart an odor, color, taste, or toxic material to food
products.
Electrical
The Insider™ and the Mark Donut Robots are also listed as Commercial Cooking
Appliances, in accordance with UL 197, and they are in compliance with electrical code
ANSI/NFPA 70 the Standard for Commercial Electric Cooking Appliances and conforms
to ANSI/UL STD 197 Certified to CAN/CSA C22.2 STD No. 109 (ETL Listing #68183).

INSTALLATION must be done by certified personnel acceptable to the authority
having jurisdiction and they shall inspect and test the Insider. A test of the safety interlocks, control head and manual pull station may be performed and a trip test and
dry pressure test may also be required at installation.
The charging and setup of the Pyro-Chem PLC-240/300 Fire Suppression System must
be done by certified personnel and the use and maintenance of the Insider is to be in
accordance with NFPA-96.
The manufacturer’s instructions for “System Checkout after Installation” is on page 17
of the Insider Installation, Operators and Maintenance Manual.
After testing, the Fire Suppression System will need to be activated by screwing the
carbon dioxide pilot cartridge into the actuator, removing the control head safety pull pin,
replacing the control head cover and removing the Fire Damper Safety Pin.
A signed and dated log of installation and maintenance must be kept on premises for use
by authority having jurisdiction.

Fires can potentially start in the fryer, the hood,
or the duct. In case of fire, it is important that
you fully understand the operation of your fire
suppression system.
1. Evacuate all personnel and customers from
the fire area.
2. If your fire suppression system has not
already automatically activated, you may
activate it manually by pulling the handle on
the silver manual pull station, located at the
back of the Insider to the right of the red fire

hand portable extinguishers may stand by if
means of easy exit are available.
When the fire has been extinguished, call your
local authorized Pyro-Chem distributor to
recharge the system, after determining the cause
of fire. Under no circumstances should cooking
operations be attempted before qualified
personnel re-instate the integrity of your fire
suppression system.
