CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
Read the instructions in this manual thoroughly before attempting to operate this equipment. This
manual covers all configurations of BK1814E series electric fryers. The fryers in this model family
have most parts in common, and when discussed as a group, will be referred to as “BK1814E”
electric fryers.
The BK1814E electric fryers are open frypots that feature a rotating element with an enhanced
design. Fryers in this series come in full pot arrangements, and can be purchased as single units
without filters or grouped in batteries of up to three fryers with filtration.
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 cooking 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
1-1
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
