CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2.3 Principles of Operation
The frypot is constructed of welded steel with heat transfer ducting on the frypot-bottom for efficient
heating of oil without scorching.
Base units come with painted cabinetry or optional stainless steel. Base units come with 15-cm (6inch) adjustable legs or optional 13-cm (5-inch) casters. Multiple units come with casters.
Dean 24G Series Flatbottom gas fryers come with an operating thermostat for reliable temperature
control. Fryers can be ordered with a Thermatron temperature controller (optional) and/or boil-out
feature (optional-only available with Thermatron controller), or a computer controller (optional).
A draft inducer draws air over the burners for combustion. Air movement directs the combustion
products back and forth across the frypot bottom by means of a set of baffles, transferring the heat
evenly across the frypot bottom. Cold air is prevented from entering the combustion chamber and
cooling the oil during the coasting cycle.
2.3.1 Automatic Safety Features
?? High oil temperature detection to shut off power to the main burners through the solenoid-
actuated gas valve.
?? Combination safety gas valve includes built-in pressure regulator and pilot safety.
?? Sail switch built into outlet duct shuts off gas to the burners in the event of blower failure.
?? Optional safety switch built into the drain valve prohibits burner ignition if the valve is not
completely closed.
2.4 Rating Plate
The rating plate can be found on the inside panel of the fryer door. Information on this plate
includes the model and serial numbers, kW/hr (BTU/hr) of the burners, outlet gas pressure in mbars
(inches W.C.), and configuration: natural or propane gas. Rating plate data is essential for proper
unit identification, communicating with the factory or requesting special parts and/or information.
The rating plate is located inside the front door panel. Information provided includes the model and
serial number of the fryer, kW/hr (BTU/hr) of the burners, outlet gas pressure in mbars (inches
W.C.) and whether the unit has natural or propane gas orifices.
DANGER
Fryers MUST be connected ONLY to the gas-type identified on the attached rating
plate.

CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2.5 Pre-Installation
DANGER
No structural material on the fryer should be altered or removed to accommodate
placement of the fryer under a hood. Questions? Call the Frymaster/Dean Service
Hotline at 1-800-551-8633.
DANGER
Do not connect this appliance to the gas supply before reviewing all information in
this chapter.
A. General: Only licensed personnel (as defined in Section 1.5) should install any gas-fired
equipment.
1. A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed in the gas supply line ahead of the fryers for
safety and ease of future service.
2. Dean 24G Series Flatbottom gas fryers require 230VAC and are equipped with a 16-3 SJT
power cord.
B. Clearances: The fryer area must be kept free and clear of all combustibles. This unit is design-
certified for the following installations:
1. Commercial installation only (not for household use).
2. Non-combustible floor installation equipped with factory-supplied 15 cm (6-inch) adjustable
legs or 13 cm (5-inch) casters;
3. Combustible construction with a minimum clearance of 15 cm (6-inch) side and 15 cm (6inch) rear, and equipped with factory-supplied 15 cm (6-inch) adjustable legs or 13 cm (5inch) casters.

CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2.6 Equipment Installed at High Altitudes
1. The fryer input rating (kW/hr) is for elevations up to 610 m (2,000 feet). For elevations
above 610 m (2,000 feet), the rating should be reduced 4 percent for each additional 305-m
(1,000 feet) above sea level. The correct orifices are installed at the factory if the operating
altitude is known at the time of the customer’s order.
2.7 Air Supply and Ventilation
DANGER
This appliance must be installed with sufficient ventilation to prevent the occurrence
of unacceptable concentrations of substances harmful to the health of personnel in
the room in which it is installed.
1. Keep the area around the fryer clear to prevent obstruction of combustion and ventilation
airflow.
2. Do not connect this fryer to an exhaust duct.
3. Correct installation and adjustment will ensure adequate airflow to the fryer system.
4. A commercial, heavy-duty fryer must vent its combustion wastes to the outside of the
building. A deep-fat fryer must be installed under a powered exhaust hood, or an exhaust
fan must be provided in the wall above the unit, as exhaust gas temperatures are
approximately 260-316°C (500-600°F). Check air movement during installation. Strong
exhaust fans in the exhaust hood or in the overall air conditioning system can produce slight
air drafts in the room.
5. Do not place the fryer’s flue outlet directly into the plenum of the hood, as it will affect the
gas combustion of the fryer.
6. Never use the interior of the fryer cabinet for storage or store items on shelving over or
behind the fryer. Exhaust temperatures can exceed 316°C (600°F) and may damage or melt
items stored in or near the fryer.
7. Adequate distance must be maintained from the flue outlet of the fryer(s) to the lower edge
of the exhaust filter bank. Per NFPA Standards No. 96, a minimum of 45-cm (18 inches)
should be maintained between the flue(s) and the lower edge of the exhaust hood filter.
8. Filters and drip troughs should be part of any industrial hood, but consult local codes before
constructing and installing any hood. The duct system, the exhaust hood and the filter bank
must be cleaned on a regular basis and kept free of grease.
