CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

2.1 General Installation Requirements

Qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel, as defined in Section 1.7 of this manual, should perform all installation and service on Frymaster equipment.

Conversion of this appliance from one type of gas to another should only be performed by qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel as defined in Section 1.7 of this manual.

Failure to use qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel (as defined in Section 1.7 of this manual) to install, convert to another gas type or otherwise service this equipment will void the 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.

Parts protected by the manufacturer or its agent shall not be adjusted by the installer.

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 Chapter 1.)

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.

DANGER

The appliance area must be kept free and clear of combustible material at all times.

WARNING

Do not block the area around the base or under the fryers

The fryer(s) must be installed on non-combustible floors equipped with factory-supplied 5 in. (13 cm) casters.

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 Service Hotline at 1-800-551-8633.

2-1

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.

A commercial, heavy-duty fryer must vent its combustion wastes to the outside of the building. A deepfat fryer must be installed under a powered exhaust hood, as exhaust gas temperatures are approximately 800-1000°F (427-538°C). Check air movement during installation. Strong exhaust fans in the exhaust hood or in the overall air conditioning system can produce slight air drafts in the room.

Do not place the fryer’s flue outlet directly into the plenum of the hood, as it will affect the gas combustion of the fryer. 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.

Never use the interior of the fryer cabinet for storage or store items on shelving over or behind the fryer. Exhaust temperatures can exceed 800°F (427°C) and may damage or melt items stored in or near the fryer.

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. A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed in the gas supply line ahead of the fryers for safety and ease of future service. Ensure the shut-off valve is in a position where it can be reached quickly in the event of an emergency. 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, ANSIZ83.11, NFPA96,211 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).

2-2

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).

2.1.2.1 Installation Standards

1. U.S. installations must meet: 2. Canadian installations must meet:

American National Standard Institute CAN 1-B149 Installation Codes ANSI Z83.11 Canadian Gas Association American Gas Association 55 Scarsdale Road 8501 E. Pleasant Valley Road Don Mills, ONT, M3B 2R3 Cleveland, OH 44131

line connections. 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 Do not attach an apron drainboard to a single fryer. The fryer may become unstable, tip over, and cause injury. The appliance area must be kept free and clear of combustible material at all times.

2-4

2. Level fryers by adjusting the casters so that the fryer is level and at the proper height in the exhaust hood. 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:

a. Plug the fryer electrical cord(s) into a grounded electrical receptacle behind the fryer.

b. Ensure the easyTouch

Touch screen powers up.

c. Verify that the display indicates POWER 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.

DANGER

Fryers MUST be connected ONLY to the gas type identified on the attached rating plate.

5. Verify the minimum and maximum gas supply pressures for the type of gas to be used in accordance with the accompanying tables below.

DANGER When pressure-testing incoming gas supply lines, disconnect the fryer from the gas line if the test pressure is ½" PSI [3.45 kPa (14 inches W.C.)] or greater to avoid damage to the fryer’s gas piping and gas valve(s).

NOTE: External gas regulators are not normally required on this fryer. A safety control valve protects the fryer against pressure fluctuations. If the incoming pressure is in excess of ½" PSI (3.45 kPa/35 mbar), a step-down regulator is required.

2-5

2.4 Connection to Gas Line

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.

DANGER 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.

Required airflow for the combustion air supply is 2m3/h per kW.

1. Connect the quick-disconnect hose to the fryer quick-disconnect under 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). 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. Plug in the fryer to ensure the fryer drain valve is closed and fill the frypot with water or oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line at the rear of the frypot. Light the fryer described in the “Lighting Instructions” topics 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 with a manometer at this time by the local gas

company or an authorized service agent.

5. Check the rating plate for specific manifold gas pressures.

6. Confirm that the arrow forged into the bottom of the regulator body, which indicates gas flow direction, is

pointed downstream towards the fryers. The air vent cap is also part of the regulator and should not be removed. If a vent line from the gas pressure regulator is used, it should be installed in accordance with local codes or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1- (latest edition) in the U.S. and appropriate national or European harmonized standards (EN) in the European Union.

3.2 Equipment Setup and Start-Up 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 The FQG60T FilterQuick™ easyTouch® Series gas fryer is not intended to use solid shortening without a solid shortening kit installed. Use only liquid shortening with this fryer if a solid shortening kit is not installed. The use of solid shortening without a solid shortening kit will clog the oil lines. The oil capacity of the FQG60T FilterQuick™ fryer is 60 lbs. (7.93 gallons/30 liters) at 70°F (21°C).

Before lighting the fryer, make sure the fryer is OFF and the frypot drain valve(s) is/are closed. Remove the basket support rack(s), if installed, and fill the frypot to the bottom OIL-LEVEL line.

3.2.1 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.

1. Fill the frypot with cooking oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot

(see photo on the following page). This will allow 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.

2. Ensure that the power cord(s) 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 power is switched on with the master switch, located behind the fryer door under the control box.

3.2.2 Lighting the Fryer

1. Ensure the controller is in the OFF position.

2. Ensure the gas is “ON”.

3. Ensure that the controller is switched ON by pressing the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.

WARNING

Never use a match or taper to light pilot on this ignition system.

4. The ignition module will energize the pilot gas supply and the ignitor. The ignitor spark will ignite the pilot gas. The presence of the pilot flame is then proved by a flame sensor, which sends a signal to the main gas supply, opening the valve. The controller controls the fryer after ignition.

All Frymaster fryers are tested, adjusted and calibrated to sea level conditions before leaving the factory. Adjustments to assure proper operation of pilot may be necessary on installation to meet local conditions, low gas pressure, differences in altitude and variations in gas characteristics. These adjustments correct possible problems caused by rough handling or vibration during shipment and are to be

performed only by qualified service personnel. These adjustments are the responsibility of the customer and/or the dealer and are not covered by the Frymaster warranty.

The inlet pipe at the lower rear of the fryer brings incoming gas to the pilot safety control valve, then to the pilot and main burners. The pilot is located high in the cabinet center, at the base of the frypot.

WARNING In the event of prolonged power failure, the ignition module will shut down and lock out the system. Turn the controller to "OFF" and then back "ON" after power has been reestablished.

5. If the pilot flame fails, the ignition module will shut down and lock out the system. To re-

start, turn the controller "OFF", wait approximately 5 minutes for the system to recycle itself, then repeat step 3.

CAUTION If the pilot and main burner go out, the fryer(s) MUST be left completely shut down at least 5 minutes before lighting.

WARNING When checking for burner ignition or performance, do not get too close to the burners. Slow ignition can cause possible flashback, increasing the potential for facial and body burns.

4. When the controller is switched on, if the fryer temperature is below 180°F (82°C) the fryer

will begin heating 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 vat is 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 continue to heat 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. DO NOT DISABLE OR

CANCEL THE MELT CYCLE IF USING SOLID SHORTENING.

6. Ensure that the oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the oil is at its cooking temperature.

Auto top off will ensure the oil level is maintained at the top OIL LEVEL line.

7. The maximum batch load for French Fries in oil or fat shall be no more than 1½ pounds or

0.7 kilograms.

3.3 Shutting the Fryer Down

For short-term shut down during the workday, place the controller ON/OFF switch in the OFF position and put the frypot covers in place (if the fryer is so equipped).

3-4

When shutting the fryers down at closing time, filter the oil and clean the fryers. Place the controller ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. Then place the gas valve in the off position. See illustration below. Place the frypot covers on the frypots.

3.4 Manual Top-Off, Automatic Top-Off and JIB/Oil Saddle Refill

The fryer can be configured for either manual top off or for both manual and automatic depending on the hardware. When a vat is low, press the manual top off (oil drop) button at the bottom of the screen (see Figure 3) to top off the vat. The controller displays PUSH BUTTON TOP OFF? Press the YES (√) button. START FILLING? is displayed. Press and hold the button to start filling. Release the button when the oil is at the top oil level line. Press the NO (X) button to exit. If the unit has optional auto top off, the frypot oil levels are continually checked and topped off as necessary from the saddle oil reservoir attached to the cabinet or from a JIB placed next to the fryer. The reservoir holds a 35-pound box of oil. In a typical operation this will last approximately two days before changing. Components of the system are annotated at the right (see Figure 1).

NOTE: The top off system is intended to top off the frypots, not fill them. The frypots will require manual filling upon startup and after disposal unless a bulk fresh system is used.

6.2.8 OQS (Oil Quality Sensor) Problems

Problem Corrective Action

Check the following items and perform another OQS filter.

 Ensure the vat is at setpoint temperature.  Inspect the pre-screen filter and ensure it is screwed in tightly.

No TPM results displayed.

 Inspect the O-rings on the filter pan and ensure they are both present and that they

are not missing, cracked or worn. If so replace them.

 Ensure the filter paper is not clogged and clean filter paper is used. Did the vat refill

the first time for the previous filter? If not change the filter paper.

APPENDIX A: BULK OIL INSTRUCTIONS

A.1.1 Bulk Oil Systems

Bulk oil systems have large oil storage tanks, typically located in the rear of the restaurant, that are connected to a rear manifold on the fryer. Waste oil is pumped from the fryer, via a fitting located on the rear of the fryer labeled DISPOSE (see Figure 1), to the disposal tanks and fresh oil is pumped from the tanks, thru the fitting located on the rear of the fryer labeled FILL, to the fryer (see Figure 1). Connect the bulk oil connections to plug located on the rear of the fryer (see Figure 2). The wiring diagram is located on the next page.

It is imperative that the fryer system be completely power cycled after changing any fresh or waste oil settings.

The FQG60T FilterQuick™ easyTouch fryers, equipped for use with bulk oil systems, have an onboard fresh oil reservoir that may or may not be supplied by the bulk oil provider. For fryers batteries with two or more vats, remove the cap and insert the standard fitting into the jug with the metal cap resting on the lip of the jug. The oil is pumped in and out of the jug or saddle reservoirs on singles, through the same fitting. (see Figure 3).

WARNING:

Do not add HOT or USED oil to a

JIB or fresh oil saddle reservoir.

Figure 2

The momentary switch used to reset the ATO system is also used to fill the jug or saddle in a fresh bulk oil system. After clearing the TOP OFF EMPTY display, pressing and holding the momentary switch, located above the JIB, allows the operator to fill the jug or saddle from the bulk oil storage tank (see Figure 4).

To fill the jug, press and hold the JIB reset button until the jug is full, then release. *

NOTE: Do NOT overfill the jug or saddle.

For instructions on filling the vat from bulk, see the FilterQuick Controller Manual Section 1.9.8.

Figure 4

Figure 3

* NOTE: It takes approximately twelve seconds from the time the fill JIB button is pressed until the fresh bulk

oil pump starts. It may take up to 20 seconds before the level in the JIB begins to rise. Typically, it takes approximately three minutes to fill the JIB. It takes approximately two minutes to fill a full vat.

A.1.2 Bulk Oil Wiring

WARNING The FilterQuick™ easyTouch fryer will ONLY operate with bulk oil systems that have a threepole float switch. If the float switch is the older two-pole switch, call the bulk oil provider. These float switches are polarity specific which may short to ground and damage an FIB board.
