1.5 Equipment Description
All Performance Series fryers are of an open-frypot design with no tubes and have a hand-sized
opening into the deep cold zone, which makes cleaning the frypot quick and easy.
Frypots are constructed of welded, heavy-gauge stainless steel. Heating is supplied by a burner
assembly having multiple gas jets that are focused on ceramic targets located around the lower
side of the frypot. The burner assembly can be configured for natural gas or propane gas. The
frypot is drained with a manual ball valve.
Performance Series 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. Fryers in the 50-model family may have
dual-vat frypots (frypots divided in half). Each half of the dual-vat frypot has its own temperature
probe.
Controls on Performance Series fryers vary depending on the model and configuration
purchased. Control options can include thermostat controls, digital controllers, or Computer
Magic 3.5 computers. Not all models are available with all controller options. Each controller is
covered in detail in the separate Frymaster Fryer Controllers User’s Manual provided with your
equipment.
Performance Series fryers may be equipped with an optional melt cycle feature, 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.
Fryers in this series may be configured with pilot ignition or electronic ignition. Fryers configured
with electronic ignition and/or electric controls and all fryers equipped with built-in filtration
require an external source of AC electrical power. Units can be configured for voltages ranging
from 100 VAC to 240 VAC.
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. All fryers
are shipped with a package of standard accessories. Each fryer is adjusted, tested, and inspected
at the factory before crating for shipment.
Model Designations
The primary difference between the fryer models in this series is the size of the frypot.
● 40 models have a frypot capacity of 30-40 pounds of cooking oil or shortening and are
designed for low-volume all-purpose frying.
● 50 models have a frypot capacity of 40-50 pounds of cooking oil or shortening and are
designed for high-volume frying of non-breaded products.
Fryers in the Performance series may be equipped with basket lifts (B in the designation) and a
built-in filtration system. Fryers having a MJ designation have no built-in filtration. Garland
Model GF16FR and the Frymaster Model AGF14 are represented by Model MJ40. Fryers having a
FMJ designation have a built-in filtration system under the two leftmost fryers. Those having a
FMJ##0S designation have a built-in filtration system under the two leftmost stations and a
holding station. The holding station can be at any position in the battery.

PROPER INSTALLATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR EFFICIENT, TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION
OF YOUR FRYER. ANY UNAUTHORIZED ALTERATIONS MADE TO THIS EQUIPMENT
WILL VOID THE FRYMASTER WARRANTY.
2-1
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.
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.
2-2
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.
