years on Solid State controllers and ten years on the Welded Stainless Steel Cooking Well), if installation is made
by a qualified installer under supervision by an authorized distributor in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. Warranty coverage is extended to the original purchaser only and is void if the equipment is resold. If an
authorized Company distributor is notified of a warranty claim during the warranty period, the Company will at its
option replace, recondition or repair at its factory any part or parts of the equipment which the Company judges
defective, provided the equipment has been subjected to normal usage, properly installed, operated and serviced
in accordance with Company operating instructions, and there is no evidence of accident, alteration or abuse of
the equipment or the use of unauthorized repair methods. All parts replaced under this warranty carry only the
unexpired term of the warranty.
Extended cooking well warranty will cover the cooking well only and does not include any parts attached to the
cooking well, including: probe guards, basket guides, latch columns, latch column blocks, insulation, splash

freight charges and distributor labor costs to install the repaired cooking well, as well as the cost of any other
parts replaced will be the responsibility of the equipment owner.
Service under this warranty shall be furnished only by an authorized Company distributor. The Company does not
send service representatives to furnish warranty service. Your authorized Company distributor should be contacted for warranty service.
This warranty covers on-site labor charges only, at a fixed rate, for one year from date of installation of new equipment only. Transportation charges, trip charges, zone fees, or other expenses in connection with warranty service
are the obligation of the owner unless otherwise specified in the original sales contract between the purchaser

broaster.com Manual #15459 5/02 Rev: 1/14
1. Pressure Regulating Valve: Opens
and closes pressure regulating valve.
When cover and valve are CLOSED,
this valve seals the cooking well,
allowing pressure to build. Valve is
preset to maintain pressure at 12-14
PSI during a cooking cycle. When
OPEN, all pressure is exhausted and
timer stops timing.
2. Cooking Well: Holds cooking oil.
3. Basket Lifter Holder: Holds basket
lifter when not in use.
4. Condensate Pan: Holds condensa-
tion drained from exhaust tank. Check
liquid level several times daily. Empty
as needed.
Water and hot oil DO NOT
mix. DO NOT pour
contents of condensate pan into cooking
well or filter pan. Hot oil could splash,
causing serious burns.
9. Pilot Burner: A small flame used to
ignite the main burner.
10. Manual Gas Shut Off Valve: Shuts off
gas flow to the gas valve. Gas will flow
when handle is in line with pipe. Turning handle crosswise to the pipe stops
gas flow.
11. Gas Valve: Regulates gas supply. The
valve has a two-position switch: OFF
stops all gas flow and ON allows gas
flow to pilot and main burner as
needed.
5. Filter Pan: Holds filter components
and filtering compound used to filter
hot oil.
HOT Surfaces!
Hot shortening! DO NOT
use this container to
transport hot shortening. Hot shortening
could splash, causing serious burns.
6. Exhaust Drain Tube: Directs conden-
sation from the exhaust tank into condensate pan.
7. Countertop Drip Pan: Collects con-
densate from the open cooking well
and directs it to the Drip Pan Drain
Line. Drip Pan is removable for cleaning.
12. Drain Valve: Used to drain cooking oil
from cooking well into filter pan or
container made for handling hot oil.
Never drain oil unless
cook/filter switch is OFF
and pressure regulating valve is OPEN.
Hot oil could spray out under pressure,
causing serious burns.
13. Drain Valve Handle: Opens and
closes drain valve. When handle is
horizontal, valve is closed. When vertical, valve is open.
8. Drip Pan Drain Line: Directs counter-
top liquid toward Condensate Pan.

14. Cover O-Ring: Forms a seal when
cover is lowered into the cooking well.
15. Safety Relief Valve: This valve will
open in the event pressure in the
cooking well meets relief pressure of
valve. A properly installed valve has
the outlet facing toward rear corner of
the countertop. DO NOT use valve to
release pressure at the end of a cooking cycle. If valve leaks during normal
operation, DO NOT operate the unit
until valve is replaced by an authorized
Broaster Company representative.
Keep away from safety
relief valve opening
unless wearing heat and steam
protective apparel. Escaping steam
could cause serious burns.
17. Basket Lifter: Used to raise and lower
food basket into the cooking well.
18. Food Basket: Holds product for cook-
ing. Indicates proper level of oil at
operating temperature.
19. Basket Support Grate: Used in the
bottom of the cooking well to support
the basket w/o feet at the proper
height. (Model 2400GH only)
Basket, lifting handle and
basket support grate are
hot, use gloves when handling. Hot
surfaces could cause serious burns.
Test valve once a month. Also test
before and after an extended shutdown. Using a hot mitt, lift valve handle during a cook cycle until pressure
is released from cooking well. Allow
valve to snap closed.
16. Pressure Gauge: Indicates pressure
within the cooking well. Normal operating pressure is 12-14 PSI.
