1.5 Equipment Description
All Performance Pro Series fryers are of an open-frypot design with no tubes and have a hand-sized
opening into the deep cold zone, which makes cleaning the frypot quick and easy.
Frypots are constructed of welded, heavy-gauge cold-rolled steel or stainless steel. Heating is
supplied by a burner assembly having multiple gas jets that are focused on ceramic targets located
around the lower side of the frypot. The burner assembly can be configured for natural gas, propane
gas, or manufactured gas. The frypot is drained with a manual ball valve.
Performance Pro Series fryers are equipped with a thermostat probe for precise temperature control.
The probe is located on the centerline of the frypot for rapid response to changes in loads and to
provide the most accurate temperature measurement. Fryers in the 45-model family may have dualvat frypots (frypots divided in half). Each half of the dual-vat frypots has its own temperature probe.
Controls on Performance Pro Series fryers vary depending on the model and configuration
purchased. Control options can include thermostat controls, solid-state (analog) controllers, digital
controllers, or Computer Magic III computers. Not all models are available with all controller
options. Each controller is covered in detail in the separate Frymaster Fryer Controllers User’s
Manual provided with your equipment.
Performance Pro Series fryers may be equipped with an optional melt cycle feature, which pulses the
burner on and off at a controlled rate. The melt cycle feature is designed to prevent scorching and
uneven heating of the frypot when using solid shortening.
Fryers in this series may be configured with pilot ignition or electronic ignition. Fryers configured
with electronic ignition and/or electric controls and all fryers equipped with built-in filtration require
an external source of AC electrical power. Units can be configured for voltages ranging from 100
VAC to 240 VAC.
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.
Model Designations
The primary difference between the fryer models in this series is the size of the frypot.
● 35 models have a frypot capacity of 30-40 pounds of cooking oil or shortening and are
designed for low-volume all-purpose frying.
● 45 models have a frypot capacity of 40-50 pounds of cooking oil or shortening and are
designed for high-volume frying of non-breaded products.
Fryers in the Performance Pro series may be equipped with basket lifts (BL in the designation) and a
built-in filtration system. Fryers having a PMJ designation have no built-in filtration. Fryers having
a FPP designation have a built-in filtration system under the two leftmost fryers. Those having a
FMP designation have a built-in filtration system under the two leftmost stations and a holding
station. The holding station can be at any position in the battery.

2-1
CLEARANCE AND VENTILATION
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.
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.
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.
One of the most important considerations of efficient fryer operation is ventilation. Ensure 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 airflow 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. 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 45 degrees. 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
inches (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 inches (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.
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.
2-2
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 for your protection
against electrical shock, it must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-
prong receptacle. Do not cut, remove, or otherwise bypass the grounding prong on
this plug!
DANGER
This equipment 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 use the
equipment during a power outage.
FCC COMPLIANCE
The user is cautioned that any changes or modifications to Frymaster computers not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment. Frymaster computers have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. While these devices are verified as Class A
devices, they have been 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 the user’s expense.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio and television technician for
additional suggestions.

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 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.
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.
DANGER
Do not attach an apron drain board 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.
Level fryers equipped with legs by screwing out the legs approximately 1 inch, and then adjust 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 inches (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.
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 thermostat controls, verify that the power and heat lights are lit.
• For fryers having computer or digital displays, verify that the display indicates
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.
5. Refer to the data plate on the inside of the fryer door to verify that the fryer burner is configured
for the proper type of gas before connecting the gas line quick-disconnect device or piping from
the gas supply line.
