front door on or near the cabinet floor. Optional
panel-mounted main power switch, rocker-type
reset switch, melt cycle switch, and instant
power switch are mounted on control panel.
Melt Cycle:
This feature pulses the heating elements on and
off at a controlled rate. This should be used
when the fryer is being used with solid
shortening.
Instant power:
Except on bulb and capillary type thermostats,
this feature by-passes the temperature
controller for a pre-set period of time to provide
maximum heating power into frying compound
and to allow the operator to anticipate heavy
use.
AUTOMATIC SAFETY FEATURES:
a) High temperature detection to shut off
power to the heating elements should the
controlling thermostat fail.
b) Optional safety switch built into the drain
valve prohibits element operation with the
drain valve even partially open.
VESSEL CONSTRUCTION:
Welded, heavy gauge stainless steel; three
heater elements fixed inside the vessel with an
inner chromed wire mesh protective crumb
screen over the elements. Drain tapped into
center of vessel with front-controlled manual
ball valve.
BODY CONSTRUCTION:

2. PRE-INSTALLATION
3. RECEIVING &
GENERAL:
Installation of any heavy-duty electrical
appliance should be made by a licensed
electrician.
STANDARDS:
Installation must be planned in accordance with
all applicable state and local codes, taking into
account the following standards:
a) Nat'l Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
#70-1984:
American National Standards Institute
1430 Broadway
New York, NY 10018
b) NFPA Standards #96 and #211:
National Fire Protection Association
470 Atlantic Avenue
Boston, MA 02110
CAUTION
Local building codes will usually not permit a
deep fat fryer with its open tank of hot oil to be
installed beside an open flame of any type,
whether a broiler or the open burner of a range.
Check local codes before beginning installation.
AIR SUPPLY & VENTILATION:
The area around the appliance must be kept
clear to avoid obstruction to the flow of
ventilation air as well as for ease of
maintenance and service. Under no conditions
is the interior of the fryer's cabinet to be used
for storage.
INSTALLING THE FRYER
UNPACKING:
Check that the container is upright. Use
outward prying - no hammering - to remove the
carton. Check the fryer(s) for visible damage; if
such damage has occurred, do not refuse
shipment, but contact the carrier and file the
appropriate freight claims. Do not contact the
factory, as the responsibility for shipping
damage is between the shipper and the dealer
or end-user.
Remove, unwrap, wash, and temporarily set
aside any accessories shipped in the fryer
vessel. These may include:
Basket hanger with baskets
Wire crumb screen
Goofer rod (clean-out rod)
Drain pipe extension
Lifters, scoops
Vessel cover
Teflon cleaning brush
Legs
LEGS:
Legs should be installed near where the
appliance is to be used. After unpacking, raise
the unit about a foot to permit the legs to be
screwed into their couplings, and lower it gently
to keep any undue strain from the legs and
internal mounting hardware. It is strongly
recommended that a pallet or lift jack be used
rather than tilting.
POSITIONING:
a) Means must be provided for any
commercial heavy-duty cooking
appliance to exhaust cooking vapors to
the outside of the building.
b) Filters and drip-throughs should be part
of any industrial hood, but consult local
codes before constructing and installing
any hood.
Do not push against any of the edges of the unit
in an attempt to adjust its position. Lift it slightly
and place it where it is to be installed. Although
all metal parts are deburred during
manufacture, accidents could occur if the fryer
(or a line-up) should move suddenly while being
pushed into position by hand. Pushing a unit
(rather than using a lift jack) also increases the
probability of bending the leg spindles or the
internal coupling connectors.
2
Page 6
LEVELING:
a) A carpenter's spirit level should be
placed across the top of the fryer and
the unit leveled both front-to-back and
side-to-side. If it is not level, the unit
may not function efficiently, the oil may
not drain properly for filtering, and in a
line-up it may not match adjacent units.
b) If the floor is smooth and level, level the
unit with the screw thread of the legs;
adjust to the high corner and measure
with the spirit level. If the floor is uneven
or has a decided slope, level the unit
with metal shims; the adjustment
required may exceed the threat available
in the leg.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:
Close the drain-valve completely and remove
the crumb screen.
Make sure the screws holding the thermostat
and limit control sensing bulbs into the vessel
are tight.
HEATING THE VESSEL:
Fill the fryer vessel with hot or cold water to the
"oil level" line scribed into the back of the tank.
This step will check the heating element
operation, initial thermostat calibration, and
cleans the vessel for initial production.
a) Set the operating thermostat dial to
225°F, just above that of boiling water.
b) Turn on the power switch on the left side
of the control panel.
Standards:
The information in this manual is for reference
only. Installation must be planned and carried
out in accordance with local codes.
Connections to the terminal block and
grounding lug should be made through the hole
provided for this purpose in the junction box.
The wiring diagram is attached to the inside of
the fryer door and all diagrams are included in
the centerfold of these instructions. Amperage
for each unit depends on the type of installation
and accessories supplied with the unit. See
detailed instructions packaged with the line-up.
4. INITIAL START-UP
CLEANING:
New units are wiped clean with solvents at the
factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil,
grease, etc., remaining from the manufacturing
process, then given a light coat of oil. They
should be washed thoroughly with hot, soapy
water to remove film residues and any
installation dust or debris before being used for
food preparation, then rinsed out and wiped dry.
Wash also any accessories shipped with the
unit.
c) When the water starts to boil, turn the
dial to below 212°F. The elements will
turn off and the water will stop boiling.
d) When satisfied that the heaters and
thermostat are operating properly, drain
the vessel of water and dry thoroughly.
Refill it with shortening as directed
below.
FINAL PREPARATION:
a) When using a liquid shortening (cooking
oil), fill the fryer to the "oil level" line
scribed into the back of the vessel.
b) When using solid shortening, either melt
it first or cut it into small pieces and pack
it thoroughly around the heating
elements, leaving no air spaces around
the elements and being careful not to
disturb the sensing bulbs. Melt this
shortening either with the "melt cycle"
control or by turning the heaters "ON" for
about five to ten seconds, "OFF" for a
minute, "ON" for five to ten seconds,
"OFF" for a minute, etc., until the
shortening is melted. If you see smoke
coming from the oil while melting this
way, shorten the "ON" cycle and
lengthen the "OFF" cycle, as smoke
indicates that you are scorching the
shortening and reducing its usual life.
3
Page 7
c) When the fryer vessel is filled and the
WARNING:
shortening melted, replace the crumb
screen.
d) Before starting operation, turn the
operating thermostat to the probable
working temperature, wait for the
temperature to stabilize, then check with
a high-quality immersion thermometer.
the frying compound temperature will
stabilize and be ready for production.
USE OF THE FRYER:
For optimum results, the following general
information is offered.
a) For consistent product quality,
convenience, and long-term savings,
use a high-quality liquid frying
compound.
The fryer must not be operated without
enough cooking compound in the vessel to
cover the heating elements.
Do not move a fryer filled with a hot liquid.
Always wear oil-proof, insulated gloves
when working with the fryer filled with hot
oil
Always drain hot oil into a metal
container...hot oil can melt plastic buckets
and crack glass on containers.
5. DAILY OPERATION
OPENING:
At opening time, always visually check the fryer
for:
a) Power switch "off".
b) Temperature controller dial "OFF".
GENERAL TURN-ON PROCEDURE:
a) If the fryer is empty, pour enough frying
compound into the fryer to at least cover the
heating elements, or fill the vessel to the "oil
level" line scribed on the rear wall. If solid
shortening is to be used, melt enough in a
separate container to cover the heating
elements in the bottom of the vessel, then
melt the rest in the vessel by turning the
power switch off and on.
b) If using solid shortening, never attempt
to melt a block of shortening by setting it
whole in the fryer vessel. This is
inefficient and dangerous.
c) Temperature of frying compound.
Although 350°F is the usual temperature
recommended for most cooking
operations, frying should be carried out
at the lowest temperature which will
produce a high quality and product while
ensuring maximum life of the frying
compound.
When the fryer is not in use, the
temperature controller or operating
thermostat should be set lower than that
used during cooking. Light loads, too,
may be cooked at lower temperatures.
A good operator will experiment to
determine the optimum temperature and
load conditions for the various food
items to be cooked.
d) Salting. Operators sometimes salt the
food over the frying vessel. This
practice should be avoided, as salt
deteriorates the frying compound quickly
and flavors everything being cooked, not
just the batch being salted.
FILTERING:
The frying compound should be filtered at least
daily, or even more frequently if cooking is
heavy. This assures the longest life possible for
the frying compound, gives a better taste to the
food being prepared, and minimizes flavors
being transferred from batch to batch.
b) Turn the power switch on; turn the
temperature controller to 350°F
(recommended). In less than 30 minutes,
When completing a filter cycle, always close the
return valve(s) at the fryer(s) to avoid siphoning
oil out of the fryer into the filter, and open the
4
Page 8
valve at the filter to promote draining of the
WARNING
!!!
return lines into the filter pan.
If using solid shortening, always make sure the
return lines are clear before turning off the filter
motor, and hang any flexible lines up to drain.
Solid shortening will solidify as it cools and clog
the lines.
CLOSING:
When closing at night, filter the oil in all fryers
and drain the filter lines. Cover the open tanks
of oil. Turn the power switch on the fryer panel
"off".
This will void the warranty for your filter,
hasten filter pump failure, and could
cause accidents if water mixes with hot
oil.
WEEKLY:
a) Completely drain the fryer vessel into
either the filter or a steel container. Do
not use a plastic bucket or glass
container.
b) Clean the vessel with a good grade of
cleaner or hot water and a strong
detergent.
SHUT-DOWN:
When shutting down for longer than just
overnight, drain the frying compound, clean the
vessel thoroughly, either discard the frying
compound or return it filtered to the vessel and
then cover it.
6. CLEANING &
MAINTENANCE
GENERAL:
Any piece of equipment works better and lasts
longer when maintained properly and kept
clean. Cooking equipment is no exception.
your electric Deep Fat Fryer must be kept clean
during the working day and thoroughly cleaned
at the end of each day.
DAILY:
a) Remove and wash all removable parts
and accessories.
c) Close the drain valve and refill with
either the cleaning solution or water and
detergent.
d) Bring to a rolling boil, turn the heat
down, and let the mixture stand until
deposits and/or carbon spots can be
rubbed off with the Teflon brush.
e) Scrub the tank walls, bottom, and
heating elements, then drain the vessel
and rinse in clear water.
f) Refill with clear water and boil again.
g) Drain, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
h) Refill with cooking oil or frying
compound as directed above.
PERIODIC:
Your electric Deep Fat Fryer should be checked
and adjusted periodically by qualified service
personnel as part of a regular kitchen
maintenance program.
b) Clean all exterior surfaces of the body.
Do not use cleansers, steel wool, or any
other abrasive material on stainless
steel (see “Stainless Steel” section
below).
c) Filter the cooking oil and replace if
necessary. The oil should be filtered
more often than daily under heavy use.
d) Do not run water through the filter as
part of the cleaning process; the filter
pump is not designed to handle water.
STAINLESS STEEL:
All stainless steel body parts should be wiped
regularly with hot, soapy water during the day
and with a liquid cleaner designed for this
material at the end of each day.
Do not let water splash into the tank of
hot oil...it will splatter and can cause
severe burns.
5
Page 9
Do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths,
cleansers, or powders! If it is necessary to
scrape stainless steel to remove encrusted
materials, soak the area with hot cloths to
loosen the material, then use a wood or nylon
scraper. Do not use a metal knife, spatula, or
any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel!
Scratches are almost impossible to remove.
f) If the panel indicator light is not glowing,
first check that line voltage does not
exist across the lamp, then:
1) Check the fuse for line voltage
between the load side and L2.
2) Check the power on/off switch for line
voltage between the load side and
L2.
7. TROUBLESHOOTING
These troubleshooting procedures must be
carried out only by a Factory Authorized Service
Agent or a local service company specializing in
hotel and restaurant cooking appliances.
FACTORY APPROVAL MUST BE OBTAINED
PRIOR TO ANY WARRANTY WORK BEING
DONE OR DEAN INDUSTRIES CANNOT BE
HELD RESPONSIBLE.
7.1 If the elements will not turn on and there
is no evidence of heating the vessel even
when cold, check the following:
a) With the proper ON/OFF switch "ON",
manually reset the high temperature limit
switch (push the red button behind the
access door).
b) Check that the branch or main circuit
breakers or fuses are not tripped or
blown.
c) Check that correct line voltage exists
across block terminals L1-L2, L2-L3, and
L3-L1 (three-phase connection), or L1L2 (single-phase connection).
3) Check the high limit thermostat for
line voltage between the load side
and L2; if resetting does not produce
results, replace the device.
4) Check the operating thermostat for
line voltage between the load side
and terminal L2; if defective, replace
the part.
5) Check the wiring to the temperature
controller.
7.2 Poor temperature control on the cold
side; warm-up time excessive; slow or
inadequate temperature recovery when
vessel loaded; uneven heating.
a) Check temperature controller
adjustment: Place the sensing bulb of a
high quality immersion thermometer
about 1-1/2 inches above the thermostat
sensing bulb or RTD probe and set the
controller dial for 350°F. Wait at least 20
minutes for the oil temperature to
stabilize. If the temperature is not with
+/-10°F of the dial setting, see "Probe
Test" below for the solid state
"Thermatron" controller or call for
service for an operating thermostat.
d) Check that correct line voltage exists on
all terminals on the load side of the
circuit breakers.
e) If the panel indicator light is glowing but
contactors are not actuated, check
continuity of the two holding coil circuits,
from the indicator light to L2.
b) With the panel indicator light glowing,
check that both holding coil circuits or
contactors are energized and contactors
are actuated.
c) Check the load side of the contactors to
the heating element terminals. Each
element should draw about 30 amps
(208V) or 26 amps (240V).
6
Page 10
7.3 Poor temperature control on the hot
side; excessive temperature overshoot
during warm-up; over heating,
scorching; high-limit switch must be
reset often.
a) Check temperature controller [see item
(a) in section 7.2].
b) Check RTD probe (see section 7.4).
7.5 TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT:
An additional feature of the "Thermatron"
controller is a temperature fine-tune adjustment.
If the actual temperature of the cooking oil
varies from the reading on the controller dial, it
may be adjusted as much as 6 10°F by simply
turning the adjustment screw, located to the
right of the control dial clockwise to increase or
counterclockwise to decrease the temperature.
c) Check that the thermostat bulb or RTD
probe in the vessel has not been
knocked loose from its operating
position. It should be clamped to the
element with 1/16" spacing.
7.4 PROBE TEST:
The Thermatron controller is equipped with a
built-in probe test. This is located adjacent to
the temperature adjustment on the control, and
is marked "probe test". This test can help
diagnose several problems:
a) If the fryer turns off at some point below
the dial setting and will not come back
on until the oil temperature drops very
low, there may be an intermittent open in
the probe or the temperature controller
may be out of calibration. Test as
follows:
Push the "probe test" button all the way
down and turn the thermostat dial back
and forth past 350°F. If the indicator
light in the power switch turns off and on
within 10°F of that setting, the probe is
defective and must be replaced. If the
indicator light does not come on within
10°F, call for service, as the problem
could be in the temperature controller.
Do not attempt to turn this adjustment past
the stops or the controller will be damaged!
8. RECOMMENDED SPARE
PARTS
To insure minimum downtime of the fryer in
case the replacement of a part is required, it is
recommended that one each of the following
parts be kept in local stock:
Operating thermostat (if so equipped)
Temperature High-limit control
5 amp cartridge fuse
b) If the indicator light and heating
elements do not come on at all, but will
when the probe test button is pushed
and the thermostat dial is turned past
350°F, then the probe is bad and must
be replaced.
