The vent system should be of such design as to allow easy access for cleaning and degreasing on a regular basis in order to prevent fires. An
automatic fire extinguishing system should be an integral part of the vent design. Since the temperature of the flue gases emanating from Fryer
flue can reach 1200 ° F, temperature sensing devices of the automatic fire extinguishing system must be sized accordingly and located so as to
avoid premature turn-on. The minimum vertical distance from the top of Fryer flue to vent system filters should be 18 inches or more.
A6 - Clearances - Your Fryer is design certified for use on combustible floors. The minimum clearances for combustible and non-combustible
construction are as follows: 6 inches from SIDE and 6 inches from BACK. Fryer must be installed with 6 inch high legs or casters (optional). At
least 16 inches clearance must be provided between the frying surface of the Fryer and the surface flames from any adjacent cooking
equipment.
A7 - Gas Connection - Before connecting Fryer to gas line, check the rating label on inside of door panel to make sure that the gas type called for
on label coincides with the type of gas available on site. A 1/2 inch NPT gas pipe connection is provided at the rear of Fryer. An accessible manual
shut-off valve must be installed in the gas supply line ahead of the fryer for future service. The size of the supply pipe must be sized to
accommodate all the gas fired equipment that may be connected to the gas supply. Check with your local Gas Company as to proper pipe size.
Only pipe sealant resistant to action of LP. gas should be used on pipe joints. Before attempting to light fryer check joints for gas tightness using a
soap and water solution. Do not use an open flame.
A8 - Flexible Gas Connectors and Restraints (See illustration 1) - For Fryers equipped with casters, installation shall be made with a Connector
that complies with the Standard for-Connectors for movable Gas Appliances ANSI Z21.69 or CAN/CGA-6.16 and a Quick-Disconnect Device
complying with Standard for Quick-disconnect Devices for use with Gas Fuel ANSI Z21.41 or CAN1-6.9. Adequate means shall be provided to limit
the movement of Fryer to prevent undue strain on the Connector or Quick-disconnect Device. A high strength Restrainer and proper size Quickdisconnect Gas Connector conforming to above ANSI and/or CAN/CGA standards should be ordered from Fryer Manufacturer in conjunction with
NSF approved casters. If disconnection of the Restraint is necessary for servicing of Fryer, the Restraint must be reconnected after appliance has
been returned to its originally installed position.

USER INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT - DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT OR OPERATE FRYER WITHOUT THE PROPER LEVEL OF FRYING FAT (OR WATER) IN TANK,
AS SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULT.
SECTION B - START UP PROCEDURE
B1 - Getting Ready to use Fryer - make sure that all the steps of Section A are completed. Verify that gas is available up to Fryer.
B2 - Filling and Draining of Fryer Tank - Close Drain Valve (red handle in horizontal position) and fill initially with water to the oil level line (hot or
cold water can be used). When draining tank allow hot content to cool to safe handling temperature.
B3 - Start-up Lighting and Operating Instructions: (See Illustration 2)
1. Turn red Thermostat Knob D counter-clockwise to its lowest or off position.
2. Partially depress and turn Control Gas Cock Dial A to "OFF" position.
3. Wait five (5) minutes to allow gas which may have accumulated in the main burner compartment to escape.
4. Turn Gas Cock Dial A to "PILOT" position.
5. Depress Gas Cock Dial A and light pilot C. Hold in depressed position for approximately 1/2 min. or until pilot remains lit when dial is
released.
NOTE: Sufficient time must be allowed for a proper size pilot flame to heat the pilot thermocouple which holds the safety magnet in a
locked-up position. Also, time must be allowed for air to escape from the lines during first operation.
6. Release Dial and turn to full "ON".
NOTE: Steps 7-13 help to check burner operation, initial thermostat calibration and clean the vessel.
7. To operate main burners rotate Red Thermostat Knob clockwise to 225° F or just above the boiling point of water.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT TURN ON MAIN BURNERS UNLESS FILLING INSTRUCTIONS WERE COMPLETED. NEVER OPERATE
FRYER WITHOUT THE PROPER LEVEL OF LIQUID (OIL OR WATER) IN VESSEL OR SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULT AND
CONSEQUENTLY WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
8. When water comes to a boil turn the Red Thermostat Knob back to 200° F. The burners should turn off.
9. If pilot becomes extinguished, repeat above procedure.
10. For stand-by periods, turn Gas Cock Dial A to "PILOT" position.
11. To shut Fryer down, partially depress and turn Gas Cock Dial A to "OFF" position and turn Thermostat to its lowest or off position.
12. Drain the vessel by means of the Drain Valve and Extension Pipe provided. Use caution when draining hot vessel.
13. Remove Extension Pipe. Wipe away any remaining water from vessel and drain. Close Drain Valve and proceed to "Normal Daily
Operation". If the latter is not convenient at this time, apply a protective coating of salt-free shortening to vessel surfaces. (Applies to FMP30 and FMP-40 Fryer with steel tanks only).

Page 5
SECTION C - NORMAL DAILY OPERATION
Follow this procedure after Fryer has already been started up for the first time or after Fryer has been shut down for maintenance.
C1 - Filling the Vessel for Frying: Close Drain Valve and fill to proper level (Oil level) with frying fat. If solid shortening is used, be certain
shortening is pre-melted; if not, shortening must be packed tightly around the Heat Transfer Tubes before any attempts are made to turn on Fryer.
Never attempt to melt a solid block of shortening by setting it on top of the Heat Tubes. Loosely packed solid shortening will create air voids
around Heat Transfer Tubes of Fryer. When fired up, tubes will become red hot and in turn will cause shortening to scorch and burn creating a
possible fire hazard. The safest way to melt solid shortening gradually is by turning burners "ON" for 5 seconds, then quickly "OFF" for 15
seconds. This procedure to be repeated until the tubes are covered with melted shortening. If any smoke is noticed during this melt cycle
procedure, shorten the burner "ON Cycle". Replace Crumb Screen over tubes when melted shortening has reached the "OIL LEVEL" line.
C2 - Lighting Instructions: Follow the instructions on data label attached to inside Door Panel or as outlined in Section B3 of this manual.
C3 - Fryer Operation: Set the Thermostat Knob to desired frying temperature and allow shortening to pre-heat (75° F to 350° F in 7 minutes). The
Burners are thermostatically controlled and will cycle on and off to maintain correct frying temperature. The "Safety Pilot" will remain lit until the gas
is shut off.
C4 - Special Hi-Limit Safety Control: Your fryer is equipped with an over-temperature or Hi-Limit Control which will trip and automatically shut
down the Burners should operating temperatures exceed 460° F (due to operating thermostat out of calibration or low oil level in tank). To re-set
Hi-Limit Control wait 30 minutes to allow fat to cool down or add additional cool oil or shortening for faster response; then push red pin E on HiLimit Control and relight pilot following steps (1) thru (8) in Section B3.
C5 - Shut-down and Draining: For temporary shut down turn thermostat to lowest or off position; then turn Gas Cock Dial to "PILOT" position. To
shut fryer down completely, partially depress and turn Gas Cock Dial to "OFF" position. When draining tank, allow shortening to cool to a safe
handling temperature.
