must be lifted during movement to avoid damage and possible bodily injury. For a moveable
or portable installation, Frymaster optional equipment casters must be used. Questions?
Call 1-800-551-8633
4. To level fryers equipped with legs, the bottom of the legs can be screwed out up to 1-inch for
leveling. Legs should be adjusted so that the fryer is at the proper height in the frying station.
For fryers equipped with casters, there are no built-in leveling devices. The floor where the fryer
is installed must be level.
NOTE: If you need to relocate a fryer installed with legs, remove all the weight from each leg
before moving. If a leg becomes damaged, contact your service agent for immediate repair or
replacement.
WARNING
Hot shortening can cause severe burns. Avoid contact. Under all circumstances, oil
must be removed from the fryer before attempting to move it to avoid oil spills and
the falls and severe burns that could occur. This fryer may tip and cause personal
injury if not secured in a stationary position.
5. When the fryer is leveled in its final position, install the restraints provided with the unit to limit
its movement so that it does not depend on or transmit stress to the electrical conduit or
connection. Install the restraints in accordance with the provided instructions (see illustration on
the following page). If the restraints are disconnected for service or other reasons, they must be
reconnected before the fryer is used.

H20.5 SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Also, after the fryer has been in use for a period of time, a hard film of caramelized vegetable oil will
form inside the frypot. This film should be periodically removed by following the boil-out
procedure.
Clean frypot(s) as follows before filling with cooking oil for the first time and at least once a month
thereafter:
1. Before switching the fryer "ON", close the frypot drain valve, then fill the empty frypot with a
mixture of cold water and detergent. Follow instructions on detergent bottle when mixing.
4. Press computer ON/OFF switch to "ON".
3. Program computer for Boil-out Operation as outlined in the computer manual that shipped with
the fryer.
4. Simmer the solution for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Do not allow water level to drop below the
bottom OIL LEVEL line in frypot during boil-out operation.
CAUTION
Do not leave fryer unattended. The boil-out solution may foam and overflow. Press
ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position to control boil over.
CAUTION
All drops of water MUST be removed from frypot before filling with cooking oil.
CAUTION
Water or boil-out solution MUST not be allowed to drain into the filter pan or filter
system. Irreversible damage will result if water is allowed into the filtration system
and all applicable warranties will be voided.
4. Turn the fryer ON/OFF switch(s) to the "OFF" position.
5. Add two gallons of water. Drain out the solution and clean the frypot(s) thoroughly.
6. Refill the frypot(s) with clean water. Rinse the frypot(s) twice, drain and wipe down with a

WARNING
Fill the frypot to the bottom OIL LEVEL line with vegetable oil before pressing the
ON/OFF switch to the "ON" position. Failure to do so could damage the frypot.
4. Fill the frypot with vegetable oil to the bottom
This will allow for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill cold oil any higher than the
bottom line; overflow may occur as heat expands the oil. If solid shortening is used, first raise
the elements, then pack solid shortening into the bottom of the frypot. Lower the elements, and
then pack solid shortening around and over the elements. Never
shortening into frypot on top of the elements. Hot spots and element damage will occur, and the
potential for flash-fire increases.

insert a solid block of
WARNING
NEVER set a complete block of solid shortening on top of heating elements. To do
so will damage the elements and increase the potential for flash-point shortening
temperatures and subsequent fire.
5. Ensure that the power cord(s) is/are plugged into the appropriate receptacle(s). Verify that the
face of the plug is flush with the outlet plate, with no portion of the prongs visible.
6. Ensure that the vegetable oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the vegetable oil is at its
programmed cooking temperature. It may be necessary to add vegetable oil to bring the level up
to the proper mark, after the oil has reached the programmed cooking temperature. If solid
shortening is used, the MELT cycle MUST be used exclusively to melt the shortening. It may
be necessary to add solid shortening to bring the level up to the proper mark after the packed
shortening has melted. DO NOT DISABLE OR CANCEL THE MELT CYCLE.
Shutdown
4. Press the ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position (the display will show "OFF").
