Frymaster warranty and may result in damage to the equipment or injury to personnel.
Where conflicts exist between instructions and information in this manual and local or national codes or
regulations, installation and operation shall comply with the codes or regulations in force in the country in
which the equipment is installed.
Service may be obtained by contacting your local Frymaster Dean Factory Authorized Servicer.
DANGER
Building codes prohibit a fryer with its open tank of hot oil being installed beside an
open flame of any type, including those of broilers and ranges.
Upon arrival, inspect the fryer carefully for visible or concealed damage. (See Shipping Damage Claim Procedure in Section 1.7 of this manual.)
2.1.1 Clearance and Ventilation
The fryer(s) must be installed with a 6” (150 mm) clearance at both sides and back when installed adjacent to
combustible construction; no clearance is required when installed adjacent to noncombustible construction. A
minimum of 24” (600 mm) clearance should be provided at the front of the fryer.
WARNING
Do not block the area around the base or under the fryers.
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.
One of the most important considerations of efficient fryer operation is ventilation. Make sure the fryer is installed
so that products of combustion are removed efficiently, and that the kitchen ventilation system does not produce
drafts that interfere with burner operation.
2-1
The fryer flue opening must not be placed close to the intake of the exhaust fan, and the fryer must never have its
flue extended in a “chimney” fashion. An extended flue will change the combustion characteristics of the fryer,
causing longer recovery time. It also frequently causes delayed ignition. To provide the airflow necessary for
good combustion and burner operation, the areas surrounding the fryer front, sides, and rear must be kept clear and
unobstructed.
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.
Fryers must be installed in an area with an adequate air supply and adequate ventilation. Adequate distances must
be maintained from the flue outlet of the fryer to the lower edge of the ventilation filter bank. Filters should be
installed at an angle of 45º. Place a drip tray beneath the lowest edge of the filter. For U.S. installation, NFPA
standard No. 96 states, “A minimum distance of 18 in. (450 mm) should be maintained between the flue outlet and
the lower edge of the grease filter.” Frymaster recommends that the minimum distance be 24 in. (600 mm) from the flue outlet to the bottom edge of the filter when the appliance consumes more than 120,000 BTU per hour.
For installations in the United States, information on construction and installation of ventilating hoods can be
found in the NFPA standard cited above. A copy of the standard may be obtained from the National Fire
Protection Association, Battery March Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
2.1.2 National Code Requirements
The type of gas for which the fryer is equipped is stamped on the data plate attached to the inside of the fryer door.
Connect a fryer stamped “NAT” only to natural gas, those stamped “PRO” only to propane gas, and those stamped
“MFG” only to manufactured gas.
Installation shall be made with a gas connector that complies with national and local codes, and, where applicable,
CE codes. Quick-disconnect devices, if used, shall likewise comply with national, local, and, if applicable, CE
codes. In the absence of local codes, installation must conform to the national Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation code, CSA B149.1, as applicable including:
1. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected form the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi
(3.5 kPa).
2.1.3 Electrical Grounding Requirements
All electrically operated appliances must be grounded in accordance with all applicable national and local codes,
and, where applicable, CE codes. In the absence of local codes, the appliance must be grounded in accordance
with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2, as applicable. All
units (cord connected or permanently connected) should be connected to a grounded power supply system. A
wiring diagram is located on the inside of the fryer door. Refer to the rating plate on the inside of the fryer door
for proper voltages.
2-2
DANGER

plug!
DANGER
This appliance requires electrical power for operation. Place the gas control valve in
the OFF position in case of a prolonged power outage. Do not attempt to operate
this appliance during a power outage.
WARNING
To ensure the safe and efficient operation of the fryer and hood, the electrical plug
for the 120-volt line, which powers the hood, must be fully engaged and locked in its
pin and sleeve socket.
2.2 Caster Installation
On an appliance with casters; the installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the Standard for
Moveable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 • CSA 6.16, and a quick disconnect device that complies with the
Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 • CSA 6.9.
The front right caster may be locked with setscrews that may need to be loosened to move into place. Once in
place, the caster setscrews can be locked with the caster wheel parallel to the fryer from front to back to ease
moving the fryer in and out of the hood for cleaning and preventing the caster from hitting the oil reservoir.
2.3 Pre-Connection Preparations
DANGER
DO NOT connect this appliance to the gas supply before completing each step in
this section.
After the fryer has been positioned under the exhaust hood, ensure the following has been accomplished:
1. Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of fryers without depending upon the gas line
connector and the quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit the appliance movement. If a
flexible gas hose is used, a restraining cable must be connected at all times when the fryer is in use. The
restraining cable and installation instructions are packed with the flexible hose in the accessories box that was
shipped with your unit.
DANGER
The appliance area must be kept free and clear of combustible material at all times.
2. Frymaster recommends that the minimum distance from the flue outlet to the bottom edge of the hood be 24 in.
(600 mm) when the appliance consumes more than 120,000 BTU per hour.
3. Test the fryer electrical system:
2-3
a. Plug the fryer electrical cord(s) into a grounded electrical receptacle. NOTE: To ensure the safe and
efficient operation of the fryer and hood, the electrical plug for the 100 volt to120-volt line, which
powers the hood, must be fully engaged and locked in its pin and sleeve socket.
b. Place the power switch in the ON position.
For fryers having controllers, verify that the display indicates the controller is on.
If the store is equipped with a hood interlock system, the hood exhaust fan should be on. If not, the
store hood interlock system is improperly wired and must be corrected.
c. Place the fryer power switch in the OFF position. Verify that the display indicates OFF. The hood
exhaust system should be off when all controllers display OFF.
4. Refer to the data plate on the inside of the fryer door to determine if the fryer burner is configured for the
proper type of gas before connecting the fryer quick-disconnect device or piping from the gas supply line.
5. Verify the minimum and maximum gas supply pressures for the type of gas to be used in accordance with the
accompanying tables and the data plate on the inside of the fryer door.
6. For fryers equipped with a built-in filtration system (BIGLA30-T models) plug the electrical cord(s) into a power
receptacle behind the fryer.

DANGER
Before connecting new pipe to this appliance, the pipe must be blown out thoroughly to remove all foreign material. Foreign material in the burner and gas controls will
cause improper and dangerous operation.
DANGER
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in
excess of ½ PSI (3.45 kPa, 13.84 inches W.C.) to avoid damage to the fryer’s gas
tubes and gas valve(s).

DANGER
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ PSI (3.45 kPa, 13.84 inches W.C.)
DANGER
“Dry-firing” your unit will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire. Always
ensure that cooking oil or water is in the frypot before firing the unit.
DANGER
All connections must be sealed with a joint compound suitable for the gas being
used and all connections must be tested with a solution of soapy water before lighting any pilots.
Never use matches, candles, or any other ignition source to check for leaks. If gas
odors are detected, shut off the gas supply to the appliance at the main shut-off
valve and immediately contact the local gas company or an authorized service agency for service.
The size of the gas line used for installation is very important. If the line is too small, the gas pressure at the
burner manifold will be low. This may cause slow recovery and delayed ignition. The incoming gas supply line
should be a minimum of 1½” (38 mm) in
diameter. Refer to the chart below for the
minimum sizes of connection piping.
(Minimum incoming pipe size s hould be 1 1/2" (41 mm))
* For distances of more than 20 feet (6 m) and/or more than 4
fittings or elbows, increase the connection by one pipe size.

NOTICE
The air pressure switch on the combustion blower should read: Full Vat units-122pa
(0.5 inches W.C.) and for Split Vat units-180pa (0.72 inches W.C.).
CE Standard
Required airflow for the combustion air supply is 2m3/h per kW.
1. Connect the quick-disconnect hose to the fryer quick-disconnect fitting under the front of the fryer and to the
building gas line.
NOTE: Some fryers are configured for a rigid connection to the gas supply line. These units are connected to
the gas supply line at the rear of the unit.
When using thread compound, use very small amounts on male threads only. Use a pipe thread compound
that is not affected by the chemical action of LP gases (Loctite™ PST56765 Sealant is one such compound).
2-6
DO NOT apply compound to the first two threads. Doing so may allow some of the compound to enter the
gas stream, resulting in clogging of burner orifices and/or the control valve.
2. Open the gas supply to the fryer and check all piping, fittings, and gas connections for leaks. A soap solution
should be used for this purpose.
3. Light the fryer following the procedures that are described in the “Lighting Instructions” found in Chapter 3 of
this manual.
DANGER
“Dry-firing” your unit will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire. Always
ensure that cooking oil or water is in the frypot before firing your unit.
4. The burner manifold pressure should be checked at this time by the local gas company or an authorized service
agent. The tables on page 2-4 list the burner manifold gas pressures for the various gas types that can be used
with this equipment. Also verify the pressures, on the rating plate, inside the fryer door
5. Check the programmed temperature thermostat setting by pressing the temperature button.
2.5 Converting to Another Gas Type
DANGER
This appliance was configured at the factory for a specific type of gas. Converting from one
type of gas to another requires the installation of specific gas-conversion components.
Conversion instructions are included with conversion kits.
Switching to a different type of gas without installing the proper conversion components
may result in fire or explosion. NEVER ATTACH THIS APPLIANCE TO A GAS SUPPLY FOR
WHICH IT IS NOT CONFIGURED!
Conversion of this appliance from one type of gas to another should only be performed by
qualified, licensed, and authorized installation or service personnel, as defined in Section
1.6 of this manual.
BIGLA30-T LOV™ gas fryers manufactured for Non-CE countries use different burners for each type gas. The
burners in fryers built for propane gas have a special gray-colored coating on the burner tiles to enable them to
withstand the higher caloric value of the propane gas. Burners designed for use in propane units may be used in
natural gas applications, but not vice versa.

2.6 After Fryers are Positioned at the Frying Station
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.
2-7
1. Once the fryer has been positioned at the frying station, use a carpenter’s level placed across the top of the
frypot to verify that the unit is level, both side-to-side and front-to-back.
To level fryers, adjust the casters being careful to ensure the fryer(s) are at the proper height in the frying sta-
tion.
When the fryer is leveled in its final position, install the restraints provided by the KES to limit its movement
so that it does not depend on or transmit stress to the connection. Install the restraints in accordance with the
provided instructions. If the restraints are disconnected for service or other reasons, they must be reconnected
before the fryer is used.
DANGER
Hot oil can cause severe burns. Avoid contact. Under all circumstances, oil must be removed from the
fryer before attempting to move it to avoid spills, falls, and severe burns. Fryers may tip and cause
personal injury if not secured in a stationary position.
DANGER
Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of this appliance without depending on the
connector and the quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit the appliance movement.
2. Clean, and fill frypot(s) with cooking oil. (See Equipment Setup and Shutdown Procedures in Chapter 3.)

NOTE: The appearance of your fryer may differ slightly from that
shown depending upon configuration and date of manufacture.
3-1
3.1 Equipment Setup and Shutdown Procedures
WARNING
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of
the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects
of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.
CAUTION
Before lighting the fryer, make sure the fryer is OFF and the frypot drain valves are
closed. Remove the basket support rack(s), if installed, and fill the frypot to the
bottom OIL-LEVEL line. If solid shortening is being used, make sure it is packed
down into the bottom of the frypot.
3.1.1 Setup
WARNING
Never operate this appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with water or oil before lighting the burners. Failure to do so will damage the frypot and may
cause a fire.
DANGER
Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with oil. Failure to do so will
cause spattering of hot liquid when the oil is heated to cooking temperature.
WARNING
The BIGLA30-T is not intended to use solid shortening without a solid shortening kit
installed. The use of solid shortening without a solid shortening kit will clog the top
off oil lines. The oil capacity of the BIGLA30-T LOV™ gas fryer is 32 lbs. (3.8
gallons/14.5 liters) at 70°F (21°C) for a full-vat and 18 lbs. (2.2 gallons/8.33 liters) at
70°F (21°C) for each half of a dual-vat.
Prior to filling frypots with oil, ensure all drains are closed.
1. Fill the frypot with cooking oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot. This will al-
low for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill cold oil any higher than the bottom line; overflow may occur as heat expands the oil. If solid shortening is used, make sure it is packed down into the bottom of the frypot.
2. Ensure that the power cord(s) is/are plugged into the appropriate receptacle(s). Verify that the face of the plug
is flush with the outlet plate, with no portion of the prongs visible.
3. Ensure that the oil level is at the topOIL LEVEL line when the oil is at its cooking temperature.

3.1.2 Lighting the Fryer
1. Press the controller ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
2. Press the controller ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
3. If the burners fail to light, press the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position and wait 60 seconds. Repeat step 2.
4. The fryer will automatically enter the melt cycle mode if the frypot temperature is below 180ºF (82ºC) and
will display MELT CYCLE IN PROGRESS. (NOTE: During the melt cycle, the burners will repeatedly
fire for a few seconds, then go out for a longer period.) The shortening must be stirred occasionally during the
heating process to ensure all the shortening in the drain and vat are liquefied. When the frypot temperature
reaches 180ºF (82ºC), the unit will automatically switch to the heating mode and PREHEAT is displayed
until within 15°F (9°C) of setpoint. The burners will remain lit until the frypot temperature reaches the
programmed cooking temperature. Once the fryer reaches setpoint, the controller display changes to START
and the fryer is ready for use.
5. After the burners have been lit for at least 90 seconds, observe the flames through the burner viewing ports
located on each side of the combustion air blower.
Left Viewing Ports are
behind the motor
housings.
The optimum burn is a bright orange-red glow. If a blue flame is observed, or if there are dark spots on a burner
face, adjust the air gas mixture as follows: On the side of the blower housing opposite the motor is a plate with one
or two locking nuts. Loosen the nuts enough to allow the plate to be moved, then adjust the position of the plate to
open or close the air intake opening until a bright orange-red glow is obtained. Carefully hold the plate in position
and tighten the locking nuts.
