2-2
FRYMASTER FPHD65 SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2.3 Principles of Operation
The incoming gas flows through orifices and is mixed with air in the burners to create the correct
ratio for proper combustion. The mixture is ignited at the front end of each heat tube by the pilot
light. Internal diffusers slow the flame as it goes through the burner tube. This slower and more
turbulent flame gives much better heat transfer to the walls of the tubes, thereby heating the oil
better.
2.4 Rating Plate
This is attached to the inside front door panel. Information provided includes the model and serial
number of the fryer, BTU/hr input of the burners, outlet gas pressure in inches W.C. and whether the
unit has natural or propane gas orifices.
DANGER
Fryers MUST be connected ONLY to the gas type identified on the attached rating
plate.
2.5 Pre-Installation
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
Do not connect this appliance to the gas supply before reviewing all information in
this chapter.
A. General: Only licensed personnel should install any gas-fired equipment.
1. 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.
2. Frymaster FPHD65 Series gas fryers require 120VAC 60 cycle or 230VAC single-phase 50-
hertz (International/CE) electrical service and are equipped with a 16-3 SJT grounded
flexible power cord for a direct connection to the power supply. Amperage draw for each
unit depends on the accessories supplied with the unit/system.

CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2.6 Air Supply and Ventilation
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.
Keep the area around the fryer clear to prevent obstruction of combustion and ventilation airflow as
well as for service and maintenance.
A. Do not connect this fryer to an exhaust duct.
B. Correct installation and adjustment will ensure adequate airflow to the fryer system.
C. A commercial, heavy-duty fryer must vent its combustion wastes to the outside of the
building. A deep-fat fryer must be installed under a powered exhaust hood, or an exhaust fan
must be provided in the wall above the unit, 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.
D. 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.
E. 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.
F. Adequate distance must be maintained from the flue outlet of the fryer(s) to the lower edge
of the filter bank. Per NFPA Standards No. 96, a minimum of 18-inches (45-cm) should be
maintained between the flue(s) and the lower edge of the exhaust hood filter.
G. Filters and drip troughs should be part of any industrial hood, but consult local codes before
constructing and installing any hood. The duct system, the exhaust hood and the filter bank
must be cleaned on a regular basis and kept free of grease.
2.7 Equipment Installed at High Altitudes
A. The fryer input rating (BTU/hr) is for elevations up to 2,000 feet (610-m). For elevations
above 2,000 feet (610-m), the rating should be reduced four percent for each additional 1,000
feet (305-m) above sea level.
B. The correct orifices are installed at the factory if operating altitude is known at time of the
customer’s order.
