MASTER JET SERIES ATMOSPHERIC GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.5.2 Model Applications (cont.)
All models except J1C Series fryers may be equipped with optional built-in filtration systems. All
models except J1C and MJ35 Series fryers may be configured for electrical power supplies ranging
from 120 to 240 VAC.
All models are of an open-pot design and have a hand-sized opening into the deep cold zone, which
makes cleaning the stainless frypot quick and easy.
Fryers equipped with built-in filtration systems are shipped completely assembled. Fryers without
built-in filtration require installation of legs or optional casters at point of use (J1C Series not
available with casters). All fryers are shipped with a package of standard accessories. Each fryer is
adjusted, tested, and inspected at the factory before crating for shipment.
Frypots are constructed of welded, heavy-gauge cold-rolled steel or stainless steel. Heating is
supplied by a burner assembly having multiple gas jets, which are focused on ceramic targets located
around the lower side of the frypot. The burner assembly can be configured for natural gas, propane,
or manufactured gas. The frypot is drained with a manual ball valve.
Master Jet Series Atmospheric fryers are equipped with a thermostat probe for precise temperature
control. The probe is located on the centerline of the frypot for rapid response to changes in loads
and to provide the most accurate temperature measurement.
Master Jet Series Atmospheric fryers may be equipped with an optional melt cycle feature (not
applicable to J1C and MJ35 Series), which pulses the burner on and off at a controlled rate. The
melt cycle feature is designed to prevent scorching and uneven heating of the frypot when using
solid shortening.
Controls on Master Jet Series Atmospheric fryers vary depending on the model and configuration
purchased. Control options can include thermostat controls, solid-state (analog) controllers, digital
controllers, or Computer Magic III.5 computers. Not all models are available with all controller
options. Each type is covered in detail in the separate Frymaster Fryer Controllers User’s Manual
provided with your equipment.

Claim Procedure in Chapter 1.)
2-1
MASTER JET SERIES ATMOSPHERIC GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 General Installation Requirements (cont.)
CLEARANCE AND VENTILATION
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
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.
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. . If a flue deflector is included with the fryer, ensure that the flue
deflector is installed as per the instruction sheet provided. It is recommended that a flue deflector is used
for fryers installed near a wall cavity that contains combustible materials. 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. Ensure 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 45 degrees. 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
inches (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 inches (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.
