FLATBOTTOM SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
Read the instructions in this manual thoroughly before attempting to operate this equipment. This
manual covers the Flatbottom Series of electric fryers, including the 1824E family, the 2424E
family, and their associated built-in filtration systems.
The Flatbottom Series electric fryers feature easy to clean, open frypots constructed of heavy-gauge
welded stainless steel. The model designations indicate the size of the frypot. The 1824 frypot is
18-inches wide by 24-inches long and holds 45 lbs. of cooking oil or shortening. The 2424 frypot is
24-inches wide by 24-inches long and holds 60 lbs. of cooking oil or shortening. A drain with a
manually operated valve is located in the right front corner of the frypot.
The frypot is heated by three 6.3 kW elements providing a nominal total wattage of 18.9 kW. Two
of the elements are mounted inside the vessel, one on each side, and the third is centered underneath
the frypot. Power options include 208V, 240V, or 480V.
Fryer operation is controlled by a standard thermostat control or an optional solid-state controller.
The controls, whichever type, are mounted inside the cabinet behind the door on or near the cabinet
floor. A main power switch and other optional control switches are mounted on the front panel of
the cabinet. The fryers also feature a melt cycle in which the heating elements pulse on and off at a
controlled rate. The melt cycle allows solid shortening to be melted without being scorched.
The instant power feature, available only on units with the solid-state control option, bypasses the
temperature control for a pre-set period of time to provide maximum heating of the cooking oil or
shortening.

DANGER
The electrical power supply for this appliance must be the same as indicated on the
rating and serial number plate located on the inside of the fryer door.
DANGER
This appliance must be connected to the voltage and phase as specified on the
rating and serial number plate located on the inside of the fryer door.
DANGER
All wiring connections for this appliance must be made in accordance with the
wiring diagrams furnished with the equipment. Wiring diagrams are located on the
inside of the fryer door.
All installation and service on Dean equipment must be performed by qualified, certified, licensed,
and/or authorized installation or service personnel as defined in Section 1.4 of this manual. Service
may be obtained by contacting your local Factory Authorized Service Center.

Section 1.5 in Chapter 1 for the shipping damage claim procedure.

2.3 Fryer Installation
DANGER
The electrical power supply for this appliance must be the same as indicated on the
rating and serial number plate located on the inside of the fryer door.
DANGER
This appliance must be connected to the voltage and phase as specified on the
rating and serial number plate located on the inside of the fryer door.
DANGER
All wiring connections for this appliance must be made in accordance with the
wiring diagrams furnished with the equipment. Wiring diagrams are located on the
inside of the fryer door.
WARNING
Dean fryers equipped with legs are for permanent installations. Fryers fitted with
legs must be lifted during movement to avoid damage to the legs and possible
bodily injury. For a moveable installation, Dean optional equipment casters must be
used. Questions? Call 1-800-551-8633
1. Legs (or optional casters) should be installed near where the fryer is to be used, as neither is
intended for long transit. After unpacking, raise the unit about a foot (30-cm) to permit the legs
or casters to be attached. NOTE: It is strongly recommended that a pallet- or lift-jack be used
to raise the fryer rather than tilting it.
2. Position the fryer in its installation location. Do not push fryers with legs in an attempt to adjust
the fryer position. Lift the fryer slightly and place it where it is to be installed. Pushing a unit
increases the possibility of bending the leg spindles or the internal connectors.
3. Once the fryer has been placed in position, it should be leveled. In fryers equipped with legs, if
the floor is smooth and reasonably level, the bottom of the legs can be screwed out up to one
inch for leveling and adjusting the fryer so that it is at the proper height in the frying station. If
the floor is uneven or has a decided slope, level the unit with metal shims, since the adjustment
required may exceed the thread available in the leg. NOTE: For fryers equipped with casters,
there are no built-in leveling devices. The floor where the fryer is installed must be level.
Use a carpenter’s spirit level placed across the top of the fryer to check the level of the unit both
front-to-back and side-to-side. If it is not level, the fryer may not function correctly, the oil may
not drain properly for filtering and, in a battery, it may not match adjacent units.
4. Single fryers must be restrained when installed to prevent tipping and the splashing or spilling of
hot cooking oil, shortening, or other liquids. If the restraints are disconnected, they must be
reconnected after the fryer is returned to its original location.
