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 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.
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.
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
be plugged directly into a properly
grounded receptacle.
Do not cut or remove the grounding
prong from the plug.

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 his own expense.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio and television techni­cian for additional suggestions.
The user may find the booklet “How to Iden­tify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Prob­lems” helpful. It is prepared by the Federal Communications Commission and is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, Stock No. 004-000­00345-4.

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 flex ible 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 screw-
ing 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 tables.

CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Connect the quick-disconnect hose to the
fryer quick-disconnect fitting under the front of 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. This will ensure that the burner orifices and control valve do not become clogged.
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.
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 fryer
at the main shut-off valve and contact
the local gas company or an
authorized service agency for service.

without installing the proper conver-
sion kit may result in fire or explosion!
NEVER attach a fryer to a gas supply
for which it is not configured.
CE Gas Conversion Instructions
1. Between G20- and G25-type Natural Gas, adjust the gas pressure at the regulator. (Refer to the CE Standard Burner Mani­fold Gas Pressure Chart.) Do not change the orifice.
2. Between a 2nd family gas (G20 or G25) and a 3rd family gas (G31 Propane):
a. Change the orifices. b. Change the pilot. c. Change the gas valve regulator. d. Adjust the manifold pressure.
3. Remove the rating plate and install a new one. Call your local service agency or KES for a new rating plate.
4. If the destination language changes, re­place the labels. Call your local service agency or KES for a label kit. The lan­guage of reference will be on the corner of the label.

CHAPTER 3: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 Start-Up Procedure

CAUTION If this is the first time the fryer is being used after installation, refer to Section
3.2, Boil-Out Procedure.
CAUTION The cooking oil/shortening capacity of
the 47 Series fryer is 50 lbs (25 liters) at 70ºF (21ºC) for a full pot and 25 lbs
(12.5 liters) at 70ºF (21ºC) for each half
of a split pot.
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.
If solid shortening is being used,
make sure it is packed down into
the bottom of the frypot.
For units equipped with Pilot Systems, the pilot must be manually lit before the fryer can be placed into operation. The pilot on fryers with Electronic Igni tion is automati­cally lit when the unit is turned on.
Lighting the Robertshaw Valve Pilot:
1. Ensure power to the unit is OFF.
2. Turn the gas valve knob to the OFF posi-
tion. Wait 5 minutes, then turn the knob to the PILOT position.
Knob is shown in OFF position.
Note index mark.
3. Place a flame near the pilot assembly, push
and hold the knob in, light the pilot, and continue to depress the knob for at least 60 seconds after the pilot lights. Failure to hold the knob in long enough will cause the pilot to go out when the knob is re­leased. If the pilot goes out when the knob is released, wait at least 5 minutes then re­peat this step.
4. Turn the gas valve knob to the ON posi­tion.
Lighting the Honeywell Valve Pilot:

unit will automatically switch to the Heating mode. The burner will remain lit until the frypot temperature reaches the programmed cooking temperature (set­point).

3.2 Boiling-Out the Frypot

To ensure that the frypot is free of any con­tamination resulting from its manufacture, shipping, and handling during installation, the frypot must be boiled out before first use.
Frymaster recommends boiling out the frypot
each time the oil or shortening is changed.
DANGER
Never leave the fryer unattended
during the boil-out process. If the boil-
out solution boils over, turn off power
to the fryer immediately and let the
solution cool for a few minutes before
resuming the process.
CAUTION
The fryer will stay in the Melt Cycle
mode until the Melt Cycle Switch is
placed in the OFF position.
For units equipped with other than Thermostat Controls:
Place the computer/controller ON/OFF switch in the ON position and set the thermostat to—or program the controller for—the desired cooking temperature, re­ferred to as the setpoint. The U-shaped burner should “light off” and burn with a strong, blue flame. The unit automatically enters the Melt Cycle mode if the frypot temperature is below 180ºF (82ºC). (NOTE: During the melt cycle, the burner will repeatedly fire for a few seconds, then go out for a longer period.) When the fry­pot temperature reaches 180ºF (82ºC), the

Sensitivity is a built-in feature that adjusts cooking time to compensate for the drop in frypot temperature when a basket of prod­uct is placed into it. Different food prod­ucts will vary in density, basket load size, and initial temperature. Food products will also vary in how well cooked a prod­uct is required to be. A proper sensitivity setting for each product will assure a high-quality product each time. For ex­ample: four ounces of fries can be pro­grammed to be cooked to the same quality as two and one-half pounds. Some ex­perimenting with the range of 0 - 9 (0 be­ing least sensitive and 9 being most sensi­tive) may be required to obtain the desired quality to meet your specifications, but setting 5 is the recommended starting point.

1. Turn the fryer power switch to the OFF position. Screw the drainpipe (provided with your fryer) into the drain valve. Make sure the drainpipe is firmly screwed into the drain valve and that the opening is pointing down.
2. Position a metal container with a sealable cover under the drainpipe. The metal container must be able to withstand the heat of the cooking oil/shortening and hold hot liquids. If you intend to reuse the oil or shortening, Frymaster recommends that a
Frymaster™ filter cone holder and
filter cone be used when a filter machine is not available. If you are using a Frymaster filter cone holder, be sure that the cone holder rests securely on the metal con­tainer.
3. Open the drain valve slowly to avoid splattering. If the drain valve becomes clogged with food particles, use the Fryer’s Friend (poker-like tool) to clear the blockage.
DANGER
DO NOT insert anything into the drain
from the front to unclog the valve. Hot
oil/shortening will rush out, creating an
extreme hazard.
WARNING
DO NOT hammer on the drain valve
with the Fryer’s Friend. This will
damage the drain valve ball and
prevent the valve from sealing
securely, resulting in a leaky valve.
4. After draining the oil/shortening, clean all food particles and residual oil/shortening from the frypot. BE CAREFUL, this ma­terial may still cause severe burns if it comes in contact with bare skin.
5. Close the drain valve securely and fill the frypot with clean, filtered or fresh cooking oil or solid shortening to the bottom OIL- LEVEL line.
DANGER
When using solid shortening, pack the
shortening down into the bottom of the
frypot. DO NOT operate the fryer with
a solid block of shortening sitting in
the upper portion of the frypot. This
will cause damage to the frypot and
may cause a flash fire.

CHAPTER 4: FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
The overwhelming majority of reported prob­lems with the Foot Print III system have been found to be the result of improper operation. Careful attention to the step-by-step instruc­tions that follow will ensure that your system operates as intended.
PREPARING THE FILTER UNIT FOR USE
1. Slide the filter unit from the cabinet.
3. Ensure that the metal filter screen is in the bottom of the pan.
2. Open the cover and remove the crumb tray
and the paper hold-down ring.
CAUTION
Make sure the inside of the pan is free
of all food and breading particles that
could prevent the paper from sealing
against the bottom of the pan.
4. Lay a sheet of filter paper over the top of the filter pan, overlapping on all sides.
5. Position the hold-down ring over the filter paper and lower the ring into the pan, al­lowing the paper to fold up around the ring as it is pushed to the bottom of the pan.
