Improper installation, adjustment, maintenance or service, and unauthorized alterations or
modifications can cause property damage, injury, or death. Read the installation, operating
and service instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment. See Chapter
1 of this manual for definition of qualified service personnel.

DANGER
The front ledge of the fryer is not a step. Do not stand on the fryer. Serious injury can result
from slips or contact with the hot oil.

DANGER
Single fryers equipped with legs must be stabilized by installing anchor straps. All fryers
equipped with casters must be stabilized by installing restraining chains

DANGER
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or any
other appliance.

DANGER
The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a fireproof
container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles can spontaneously
combust if left soaking in certain shortening material. Additional information can be obtained
in the filtration manual included with the system.

WARNING
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.

WARNING
Do not bang fry baskets or other utensils on the fryer’s joiner strip. The strip is present to seal
the joint between the frypot. Banging fry baskets on the strip to dislodge shortening will
distort the strip, adversely affecting its fit. It is designed for a tight fit and should only be
removed for cleaning.

DANGER
Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of this appliance without depending
on or transmitting stress to the electrical conduit. A restraint kit is provided with the fryer. If

DANGER
This fryer may have two power cords and prior to movement, testing, maintenance and any
repair on your Frymaster fryer; disconnect BOTH electrical power cords from the electrical
power supply.

c. STANDARDS: All electrical cooking

appliances must be electrically
connected and grounded in accordance
with local codes, or in the absence of
local codes, with the latest editions of
the European Community (CE)
standards.

2.4 AIR SUPPLY & VENTILATION:

a. The area around the fryer must be kept

clear to prevent any obstruction to
ventilation air flow as well as for
service and maintenance. Never use
the interior of the fryer’s cabinet for
storage.

b. A commercial, heavy-duty fryer

should be vented to the outside of the
building.

c. Filters and drip troughs should be part

of any industrial hood, but consult
local codes before constructing and
installing any hood.

2.5 RECEIVING AND UNPACKING:

Check that the container is upright.
Unpack the fryer carefully and remove all
accessories from the carton. Do not
discard or misplace these, as they will be
needed.

After unpacking, immediately check the
equipment for visible signs of shipping
damage. If such damage has occurred,
contact the carrier and file the appropriate
freight claims. Do not contact the factory,
as the responsibility of shipping damage is
between the carrier and the dealer or end­user.

If your equipment arrives damaged:

♦ File claim for damages immediately,

regardless of extent of damage.

♦ Visible loss or damage: Be sure this is

noted on the freight bill or express
receipt and is signed by the person
making the delivery.

♦ Concealed loss or damage: If damage

is unnoticed until equipment is
unpacked, notify freight company or
carrier immediately, and file a
concealed damage claim. This should
be done within fifteen (15) days of
date of delivery. Be sure to retain
container for inspection.

NOTE: Dean does not assume responsibility

for damage or loss incurred in transit.
