Safe Work Practices
Noncombustible Floors Only
Make sure your floor is noncombustible. Do not operate your fryer
on floors that are wood, carpeted or have rubber mats.
•Placing your fryer on a combustible floor could cause a fire.
Serious injury could result.
•Examples of noncombustible floors where you can safely
place your fryer are concrete, tile, and ceramic.
Keep The Area Around Your Fryer
Uncluttered
Make sure to keep the area around your fryer clear of any
obstacles.
Serious injury can occur if you trip or fall near the fryer. You could
be burned by hot shortening that splashes out of the fryer or by
falling against the hot metal of the fryer.
Keep The Floor Around Your Fryer Clean Of
Shortening
Make sure to keep the floor around your fryer clean of shortening
and other liquids.
Serious injury can occur if you slip near your fryer. You could be
burned by hot shortening that splashes out of the fryer or by falling

Keep The Casters Locked
To avoid spilling shortening, keep the casters locked. If any
shortening spills near your fryer, clean it up immediately.

Automatic Lift Fryer Introduction
Do Not Overfill The Fryer With Shortening
Hot shortening and steam may escape and burn you if you put too
much shortening in the fryer. Fill the fryer to approximately one inch
below the fill marks that are inside the fryer pot. Heat the
shortening. If needed, carefully add more shortening to bring the
level to the fill marks.
Do Not Let Any Water Get Into The Fryer
Always remove excess moisture from food before placing it into the
fryer basket. Water will cause the hot shortening to spatter. You
could be burned.
Do Not Overload The Basket With Food
Hot shortening and steam may escape and burn you if you place
too much food in the basket.
Wear Safe Clothing Appropriate To Your Job
Always wear your insulated mitts when handling the fryer basket or
touch any hot metal surfaces. You received a pair of insulated mitts
with your fryer. If you lose or damage your mitts, you can buy new
ones at your local restaurant equipment supply store or from your
local BKI Distributor.
Always wear non-skid shoes when working around the fryer or any
other equipment that uses shortening. Never wear loose clothing
such as neckties or scarves while operating your fryer. Keep loose
hair tied back or in a hair net while operating your fryer.
Always wear appropriate personal protection equipment during the
filtering process to guard against possible injury from hot oil.
Always wear appropriate personal protection equipment during the
boil-out process to guard against possible injury from hot cleaning
solution.

Automatic Lift Fryer Installation
Installation
Serious injury, equipment damage or death could result if attempting to install
this fryer yourself. Ensure that an authorized BKI service agent installs the fryer.
Unpacking and Handling
It is the owners’ responsibility to file all freight claims with the delivering truck line. Inspect all cartons and
crates for damage as soon as they arrive. If damage to cartons or crates is found, or if a shortage is
found, note this on the bill of lading (all copies) prior to signing.
If damage is found when the equipment is opened, immediately call the delivering truck line and follow up
the call with a written report indicating concealed damage to your shipment. Ask for an immediate
inspection of your concealed damage item. Packaging material MUST be retained to show the inspector
from the truck line.
Assembly and Mounting
1. Remove all packing materials from the interior and exterior of the fryer.
Risk of electric shock – Fryer must be secured to building structure. Follow
restraining device instructions for proper installation.
2. Install an ANSI Z83.11/CGA 1.8 compliant restraining device (such as BKI part number FT0279)
per the instructions below:
• Mount the wall attachment according the restraining device manufacturer instructions.
• Attach the spring-loaded hook on the restraining device to the eye-bolt mounted to the fryer
then attach the other spring-loaded hook to the wall attachment.
3. Lock the casters so the fryer does not move. Every time the fryer is used, make sure the casters
are locked so the fryer cannot move.
4. Clean the fryer pot before filling with shortening.
5. Place the DRAIN handle in the CLOSED position.
Wiring
Electrocution, equipment failure or property damage could result if an unlicensed
electrician performs the electrical installation. Ensure that a licensed electrician
perform the electrical installation in accordance with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI NFPA 70-20XX.
This unit, when installed by an authorized BKI service agent, must be wired for use in accordance with all
applicable local, state, and federal codes. For specific electrical requirements and connections refer to the

Automatic Lift Fryer Installation
Initial Test and Adjustment
1. Fill pot with shortening to about one inch below the mark.
Use only high-quality shortening that has low moisture content, a high smoke
point and no additives.
Overfilling the fryer pot with shortening could lead to serious injury. Ensure that
the fryer pot is filled with shortening only to the fill mark when shortening is hot.
Do not use any shortening other than what is specified in this manual and do not
overfill the fryer pot.
2. Place the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to the FRY position. The shortening should begin to heat and
begin to reach the fill mark inside the pot. Add more shortening as required to reach the fill mark.
Refer to the troubleshooting section if this does not occur.
