systems (FM45E and FM45EC variants), or
may be configured for manual filtration
(MJ45E and MJ45EC variants). All models
may be configured for electrical power supplies ranging from 120 to 240 VAC.
45 Series fryers utilize a combination gas
valve to control the burner and require an external source of AC electrical power. On the
FM45E and MJ45E models, the electrical
power supply to the gas valve is controlled by
a manually operated thermostat controller or
an electronic controller. The FM45EC and
MJ45EC models are equipped with Computer
Magic III computers.
All models are of an open-pot design with no
tubes and have a hand-sized opening into the
deep cold zone, which makes cleaning the
stainless frypot quick and easy.
Fryers equipped with built-in filtration systems are shipped completely assembled. Fryers without built-in filtration require installation of legs or optional casters at point of use.
All fryers are shipped with a package of standard accessories. Each fryer is adjusted,
tested, and inspected at the factory before
crating for shipment.
Frypots are constructed of welded, heavygauge stainless steel. Heating is supplied by a
burner assembly having multiple gas jets,
which are focused on ceramic targets located
around the lower side of the frypot. The burner
assembly can be configured for natural gas,
propane, or manufactured gas, as required by
the customer. A drain is tapped into the center
of the frypot, with a front-controlled manual
ball valve.
Each fryer is equipped with a thermostat probe
for precise temperature control. The probe is
located on the centerline of the frypot for rapid

CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 General Installation
Requirements
PROPER INSTALLATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR
EFFICIENT, TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION OF
YOUR FRYER. ANY UNAUTHORIZED ALTERATIONS MADE TO THIS EQUIPMENT WILL
VOID THE FRYMASTER
WARRANTY.
Upon arrival, inspect the fryer carefully for
visible or concealed damage. (See Shipping
Damage Claim Procedure in Chapter 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.
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.
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.
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 proper burner
operation.
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 air flow necessary for good combustion and burner operation, the areas surrounding the fryer front, sides, and rear must be kept
clear and unobstructed.
Fryers must be installed in an area with an
adequate air supply and adequate ventilation.
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 materials at
all times.
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. QuickDisconnect devices, if used, shall likewise

comply with national, local, and, if applicable,
CE codes.
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS
All electrically operated appliances must be
grounded in accordance with all applicable
national and local codes, and, where applicable, CE codes. 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.
DANGER
If this appliance is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug, it must

CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2.3 Pre-Connection Preparations
DANGER
Do not connect fryer to gas supply
before completing each step
in this section.
After the fryer has been positioned under the
fry station 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 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.
4. Test the fryer electrical system:
a. Plug the fryer electrical cord(s) into a
grounded electrical receptacle.
b. Place the power switch in the ON
position.
• For fryers equipped with thermo-
stat controls, verify that the power
and heat lights are lit.
• For fryers having computer or
digital displays, verify that the display indicates CYCL.
c. Place the fryer power switch in the
OFF position. Verify that the power
and heat lights are out, or that the display is blank.
2. Single unit fryers must be stabilized by
installing restraining chains on fryers
equipped with casters or anchor straps on
fryers equipped with legs. Follow the instructions shipped with the casters/legs to
properly install the chains or straps.
3. Level fryers equipped with legs by screwing out the legs approximately 1 inch then
adjusting them 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 filter be 24 in. (600 mm) when
the appliance consumes more than 120,000
BTU per hour.
For fryers equipped with casters, there are
no built-in leveling devices. The floor
where the fryer is to be installed must be
level.
5. 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.
6. Verify the minimum and maximum gas
supply pressures for the type of gas to be
used in accordance with the accompanying
