WARNING

DANGER

This fryer has a power cord (three-phase) for each frypot. Prior to movement, testin g, mainten ance and any re pair on your Frymaster fryer; disconnect ALL electrical power cords from the electrical power supply.

DANGER

This appliance must be connected to a pow er supply having the same voltage and phase a s specified on the rating plate located on the inside of the appliance door.

WARNING All wiring connections for this appliance must be mad e in accordance with the w iring diagram(s) furnished with the appliance. Refer to the wiring diagram(s) in the rear of this manual when installing or servicing this equipment.

WARNING Use caution and wear appropriate safety equipment to avoid con tact with hot oil or surfaces that may cause severe burns or injury.

DANGER

This fryer must not be modified to serve as a water-bath unit. This is especially dangerous if adjoining frypots are used for conventional frying. Water splashing or falling into hot oil causes dangerous eruptions in the oil. Personnel near the fryer can be seriously injured.

DANGER

Do not operate this equipment unless all covers and access panels are in place and properly secured.

WARNING If the electrical power supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a Frymaster Factory Authorized Servicer or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

DANGER

Hot oil can cause severe burns. Avoid contact. Under all circumstances, oil must be remo ved from the fryer before attempting to move it to avoid spills, falls, and severe burns. Never attempt to transfer hot oil from one container to another. Fryers may tip and cause personal injury if not secured in a stationary position.

WARNING

Always fill both sides of a split-pot vat when heating for any purpose, testing, cooking or boiling out the vat.

DANGER

This appliance is not intended for use by children under the age of 16 or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given super visio n co ncern ing use o f the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Do not allow children to play with this appliance.

DANGER

Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled to the fill line with water or cooking oil before energizing the elements. Failure to do so w ill result in irreparable damage to the elements and ma y cause a fire.

NOTICE

If this equipment is wired directly into the electrical power supply, a means for disconnection from the supply having a contact separation of at least 3-mm in all poles must be incorporated in the fixed wiring.

NOTICE

This equipment must be positioned so that the plug is accessible unless other means for disconnection from the power supply (e.g., a circuit breaker) is provided.

NOTICE

If this appliance is permanently connected to fixed wiring, it must be connected by means of copper wires having a temperature rating of not less than 167°F (75°C).
