BIEL14 SERIES MANUAL LOV™ ELECTRIC FRYER

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

NOTE: The Frymaster BIEL14 fryer requires a start-up, demonstration and training

before normal restaurant operations can begin.

1.1 General

Read the instructions in this manual thoroughly before attempting to operate this equipment. This manual covers all configurations of McDonald’s BIEL14 Manual LOV™ models. The fryers in this model family have most parts in common, and when discussed as a group, will be referred to as “Manual LOV™ fryers”.

Although similar in appearance to the RE14 McDonald’s electric fryers, the BIEL14 Manual LOV™ fryers feature a low oil volume frypot, automatic oil top off and an automatic intermittent filtration unit. The Euro-Look design incorporates a rounded topcap and a large round drain, which ensures that fries and other debris, will be washed into the filter pan. The BIEL14 Manual LOV™ fryers are controlled with an M3000 Manual LOV controller. Fryers in this series come in full- or split-vat arrangements, and can be purchased in batteries of up to five fryers.

1.2 Safety Information

Before attempting to operate your unit, read the instructions in this manual thoroughly.

Throughout this manual, you will find notations enclosed in double-bordered boxes similar to the one below.

DANGER Hot oil causes severe burns. Never attempt to move a fryer containing hot oil or to transfer hot oil from one container to another.

CAUTION boxes contain information about actions or conditions that may cause or result in a

malfunction of your system.

WARNING boxes contain information about actions or conditions that may cause or result in

damage to your system, and which may cause your system to malfunction.

DANGER boxes contain information about actions or conditions that may cause or result in

injury to personnel, and which may cause damage to your system and/or cause your system to

malfunction.

Fryers in this series are equipped with the following automatic safety features:

1. Two high-temperature detection features shut off power to the elements should the temperature

controls fail.

2. A safety switch built into the drain valve prevents the elements from heating with the drain valve

even partially open.

1.3 Controller Information

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. While this device is a verified Class A device, it has been shown to meet the Class B limits. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of the equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.

The user is cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio and television technician for additional suggestions.

The user may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission helpful: "How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems". This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, Stock No. 004-000-00345-4.
