1.5 Equipment Description
H50 Series high-efficiency gas fryers employ a unique infrared burner system that uses up to 43%
less energy to cook the same volume as conventional fryers. Models in this series include MJH50,
FMH50, and FPH50 variants. MJH50 variants have no built-in filtration system. FMH50 variants
have a built-in Filter Magic II filtration system. The Filter Magic system is housed in its own
cabinet, which may be attached to either side of a fryer and which can be located anywhere in a
battery of fryers. The FPH50 variants have a built-in FootPrint III filtration system that is located
underneath the fryer to conserve floor space. (In batteries of fryers, the FootPrint III system is
always located under the leftmost two fryers.)
All H50 Series fryers 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.
Heating is supplied by a pair of infrared burner assemblies mounted on each side of the frypot.
Combustion air for the burners is supplied by a dedicated blower mounted on the front of the frypot.
H50 Series fryers can be configured for natural gas, propane (LP), or manufactured gas, as required
by the customer.
Each frypot is equipped with a temperature probe for precise temperature control.
All H50 Series fryers come standard with electronic ignition, melt cycle, and boil-out mode. Control
options include Computer Magic III computers, solid-state (analog) controllers, digital controllers,
and basket lift timers.
All fryers in this series require an external source of AC electrical power. Units can be configured
for voltages ranging from 120 VAC to 220 VAC.
Fryers equipped with FootPrint III built-in filtration systems are shipped completely assembled.
Fryers without the FootPrint III 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.

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.
DANGER
Building codes prohibit a fryer with its open tank of hot oil/shortening being installed
beside an open flame of any type, including those of broilers and ranges.
Upon arrival, inspect the cooker carefully for visible or concealed damage. (See Shipping Damage
Claim Procedure in Chapter 1.)
DANGER
Frymaster appliances equipped with legs are for stationary installations. Appliances
fitted with legs must be lifted during movement to avoid damage to the appliance
and bodily injury. For movable installations, optional equipment casters must be
used. Questions? Call 1-800-551-8633.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection
against electrical shock, and must be plugged directly into a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle. Do not cut, remove, or otherwise bypass the grounding
prong on this plug!
2-2
DANGER
This appliance 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 operate
this appliance during a power outage.
AUSTRALIAN REQUIREMENTS

relevant statutory regulations.
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 his own expense.
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. 004-000-00345-4.
If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio and television technician for
additional suggestions.
2.2 Caster/Leg Installation
Depending upon the specific configuration ordered, your fryer may have been shipped without
installed casters or legs. DO NOT INSTALL THIS APPLIANCE WITHOUT CASTERS OR
LEGS. If the appliance requires the installation of casters or legs, install them in accordance
with the instructions included in your accessory package.
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 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
2-3
times when the fryer is in use. The restraining cable and installation instructions are packed with
O
O
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 in the accessory
pack to install the chains or straps.
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.
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 hood be 24
in. (600 mm) when the appliance consumes more than 120,000 BTU per hour. NOTE: There
are no built-in leveling devices on fryers equipped with casters. 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 solid-state (analog) 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.
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.

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
When pressure-testing incoming gas supply lines, disconnect the fryer from the gas
line if the test pressure will be ½ PSIG (3.45 kPa, 13.84 inches W.C.) or greater to
avoid damage to the fryer’s gas tubes and gas valve(s).
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.
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.
DANGER
“Dry-firing” your unit will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire. Always
ensure that melted shortening, cooking oil, or water is in the frypot before firing the
unit.
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
on the following page for the minimum sizes of connection piping.

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. 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. Close the fryer drain valve and fill the frypot with water and boil-out solution to the bottom
OIL LEVEL line at the rear of the frypot. Light the fryer and perform the boil-out procedures
that are described in the “Lighting Instructions” and “Boiling Out the Frypot” 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 melted shortening, cooking oil, or water is in the frypot before firing your
unit.
4. The burner manifold pressure should be checked at this time by the local gas company or an
authorized service agent. The tables below and on the following page list the burner manifold
gas pressures for the various gas types that can be used with this equipment.
