CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 General Installation Requirements
NOTE: 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.
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. 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.
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 com-
bustible material at all times.
2-1
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
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.
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 his own expense.
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. If casters or legs are installed, you may skip this section and proceed to section 2.3, Pre-Connection Preparations.
If your fryer requires the installation of casters/legs, install them in accordance with the instructions included in your accessory package.
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 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.
3. Level the fryer, if necessary, by loosening the locking screw on the caster legs and rotating the
leg to increase or decrease the exposed length. Verify that the fryer is 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.
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, note the illumination of the power light and
the heat light.
• For fryers having computers, note that the display reads LO-TEMP and the heat light
comes on.
• If the store is equipped with a hood interlock system, the hood exhaust fan should be on.
If not, the store hood interlock system is improperly wired and must be corrected.
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.
2-3
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
The H52 Series has received the CE mark for the countries and gas categories indicated in the
accompanying table. NOTE: The nominal heat input (Qn) is 21kW except for AT, DE, LU, and for
category 3B/P under 50 mbar, which is 23kW.
* H152-2 units are not approved for G30 (Butane) gas.
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. Frymaster recommends the incoming gas supply line be a minimum of 1½” (38 mm) in diameter. Refer
to the chart on the following page for the minimum sizes of connection piping.
2-5
Gas Connection Pipe Sizes
(Minimum incoming pipe size should be 1 1/2" (38 mm))
* For distances of more than 20 feet (6 m) and/or
more than 4 fittings or elbows, increase the connection by one pipe size.
Before connecting new pipe to your unit, the pipe must be thoroughly blown out to remove any foreign particles. If these foreign particles get into the burner and controls, they will cause improper
and sometimes dangerous operation.
CE Standard
Required airflow for the combustion air supply is 2m3/h per kW.
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.
3. Close the fryer drain valve and fill the frypot with water and boil-out solution to the bottom OILLEVEL 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.
2-6
WARNING
“Dry-firing” your unit will cause damage to the frypot. Always ensure that melted
shortening, cooking oil, or water and boil-out solution is in the frypot before firing
your unit for any extended period.
4. It is suggested that the burner manifold pressure be checked at this time by the local gas company or an authorized service agent. Refer to “Check Burner Manifold Pressure” in Chapter 5 of
this manual for the proper procedure. The accompanying tables list the burner manifold gas
pressures for the various gas types that can be used with this equipment.

Operating Instructions, for the setpoint programming instructions for your particular controller.)
2.5 Converting to Another Gas Type
Your fryer is configured at the factory for either natural gas or propane (LP) gas. If you desire to
switch from one type of gas to another, a gas conversion kit must be installed by a Factory
Authorized Service Center technician.
DANGER
Switching to a different type of gas without installing the proper conversion kit may
result in fire or explosion! NEVER attach your fryer to a gas supply for which it is
not configured.
2-7
H52 Series Fryers manufactured for Non-CE countries use different burners for each type gas. The
burners in fryers built for Propane gas have a special gray-colored coating on the burner tiles to enable them to withstand the higher caloric value of the Propane gas. Burners designed for use in Propane units may be used in natural gas applications, but not vice versa.

2. Between a 2nd family (G20 or G25) and a 3rd family gas (G30 Butane or G31 Propane):
a. Change the orifices.
b. Change the gas valve spring (units with valve part number 810-1011only)
c. Adjust the manifold pressure.
3. Affix the new label included with the conversion kit next to the existing rating plate stating that
the gas type has been converted. Remove any references to the previously used gas from the existing rating plate. Conversion rating label PN 802-2144.
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.
2.6 Frypot Boil-Out
Before the fryer is first used for cooking product, it should be boiled out to ensure that any residue
from the manufacturing process has been eliminated.
In addition, after the fryer has been in use for a period of time, a hard film of caramelized vegetable
oil will form on the inside of the frypot. This film should be periodically removed by following the
boil-out procedure.
Refer to Fryers Maintenance Requirement Card (MRC) 14A for the boil-out procedure.

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.
1. Fill the frypot with vegetable oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot.
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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
CAUTION
Do not add vegetable oil to the fryer between the time the computer is turned on and
the time it reaches programmed cooking temperature. Doing so is likely to cause
RECOVERY LOCKOUT (REC LOCK). See Section 3.4.
Shutdown
1. Press the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position (the display will show OFF).
2. Filter vegetable oil and clean fryers.
3. Place the frypot covers on frypots.

3.3 Introduction To The M-100B™ Cooking Computer
The M-100B cooking computer, illustrated below, automatically maintains fryer temperature to cook
products according to preprogrammed cooking specifications. The computer also acts as a cooking
process timer, displaying the remaining cooking time for each product and alerting the operator by
sound and display message to shake or pull the product at the correct time. It also signals quality
control (hold-time) limits. The computer automatically adjusts cooking times to compensate for
variances in product temperature and basket load so that, for example, a full basket of cold fries will
be cooked to the same quality as half a basket of fries at room temperature.
