CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 General Installation Requirements
Qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel, as defined in Section
1.7 of this manual, should perform all installation and service on Frymaster equipment.
Conversion of this appliance from one type of gas to another should only be performed by
qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel as defined in Section 1.7
of this manual.
Failure to use qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel (as defined in Section 1.7 of this manual) to install, convert to another gas type or otherwise service
this equipment will void the Frymaster warranty and may result in damage to the equipment
or injury to personnel.
Where conflicts exist between instructions and information in this manual and local or national codes or regulations, installation and operation shall comply with the codes or regulations in
force in the country in which the equipment is installed.
DANGER
Building codes prohibit a fryer with its open tank of hot oil being installed beside an
open flame of any type, including those of broilers and ranges.
Upon arrival, inspect the fryer carefully for visible or concealed damage. (See Shipping Damage
Claim Procedure in Chapter 1.)
2.1.1 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.
WARNING
Do not block the area around the base or under the fryers.
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.
2-1
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 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.
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.
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.
2.1.2 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. In the absence of local codes, installation must conform to the
national Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation code,
CSA B149.1, as applicable including:
1. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected form the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
2-2

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.
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
combustible material at all times.
2. Level fryers equipped with legs by screwing out the legs approximately 1 inch then adjusting
them so that the fryer is level and 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. NOTE: There
are no built-in leveling devices on fryers equipped with casters. The floor where the fryer is to
be installed must be level.
3. Test the fryer electrical system:
a. Plug the fryer electrical cord(s) into a grounded electrical receptacle.
b. Place the computer switch in the ON position. Verify that the display indicates MLT-
CYCL.
c. Place the computer power switch in the OFF position. Verify that the display indicates
OFF.

2. Between a 2nd family (G20 or G25) and a 3rd family gas (G30 Butane or G31 Propane):
a. Change the orifices.
b. Adjust the manifold pressure.
3. Remove the old rating plate and return to Frymaster. Affix the new rating plate included with the
conversion kit in place of the old rating plate stating the gas has been converted.
4. If the destination language changes, replace the rating plate. 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 Positioning the Fryer
1. Once the fryer has been positioned at the frying station, use a carpenter’s level placed across the
top of the frypot to verify that the unit is level, both side-to-side and front-to-back.
To level fryers, adjust the casters being careful to ensure the fryer(s) are at the proper height in
the frying station.
When the fryer is leveled in its final position, install the restraints provided by the KES to limit
its movement so that it does not depend on or transmit stress to the connection. Install the restraints in accordance with the provided instructions. If the restraints are disconnected for service
or other reasons, they must be reconnected before the fryer is used.
DANGER
Hot oil can cause severe burns. Avoid contact. Under all circumstances, oil must be
removed from the fryer before attempting to move it to avoid spills, falls, and severe
burns. Fryers may tip and cause personal injury if not secured in a stationary position.
DANGER
Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of this appliance without
depending on the connector and the quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit the appliance movement.
2-9
2. Close fryer drain-valve(s).
3. Clean and fill frypot(s) to the bottom oil level line with cooking oil. (See Equipment Setup and
Shutdown Procedures in Chapter 3.)

3.1 Controller Operation and Programming
This fryer is equipped with either 3000 or CM3.5 controllers (illustrated below). Fryers with 3000 controllers should refer to the 3000 Controller Operating Instructions in Chapter 4 for the controller programming and operating procedure. For CM3.5 controllers r
trollers User’s Manual furnished with your fryer for the specific controller operating instructions.
efer to the separate Frymaster Fryer Con-
3000 CONTROLLER CM3.5
Refer to Chapter 5 of this manual for operating instructions for the built-in filtration system.
3.2 Equipment Setup and Start-Up Procedures
WARNING
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of
the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects
of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.
CAUTION
The cooking oil capacity of the OCF30™Series gas fryer is 32 lbs. (3.8 gallons/14.5
liters) at 70°F (21°C) for a full-vat.
Before lighting the fryer, make sure the fryer is OFF and the frypot drain valve(s)
is/are closed. Remove the basket support rack(s), if installed, and fill the frypot to
the bottom OIL-LEVEL line.
3.2.1 Setup
WARNING
Never operate this appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with water or oil before lighting the burners. Failure to do so will damage the frypot and may
cause a fire.
DANGER
Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with oil. Failure to do so will
cause spattering of hot liquid when the oil is heated to cooking temperature.
WARNING
The OCF30™ Series gas fryer is NOT intended to use solid shortening. Use only
liquid shortening with this fryer. The use of solid shortening will clog the top off oil
lines.
3-2
1. Fill the frypot with cooking 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) 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 oil level is at the topOIL LEVEL line when the oil is at its cooking temperature.
3.2.2 Lighting the Fryer
1. Press the controller ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
2. Press the controller ON/OFF switch to the ON position and program the controller for normal
cooking temperature.
3. If the burners fail to light, press the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position and wait 60 seconds.
Repeat step 2.
4. The fryer will automatically enter the melt cycle mode if the frypot temperature is below 180ºF
(82ºC). (NOTE: During the melt cycle, the burners will repeatedly fire for a few seconds, then
go out for a longer period.) When the frypot temperature reaches 180ºF (82ºC), the unit will automatically switch to the full heat mode. The burners will remain lit until the frypot temperature
reaches the programmed cooking temperature. On CM 3.5 equipped fryers the display changes to
LOW TEMP until within 15°F of the setpoint. Then the display changes to product or dashed
lines. On the 3000, once the fryer reaches setpoint, the controller display changes to DROP and
the fryer is ready for use.
Answer YES to EXIT MELT?
To exit the melt cycle on the 3000, press and hold the EXIT COOL button.
5. After the burners have been lit for at least 90 seconds, observe the flames through the burner
viewing ports located on each side of the combustion air blower.
3-3
Left Viewing Ports are
behind the motor
housings.
Right Viewing Ports
The optimum burn is a bright orange-red glow. If a blue flame is observed, or if there are dark spots
on a burner face, adjust the air gas mixture as follows: On the side of the blower housing opposite
the motor is a plate with a locking nut. Loosen the nut enough to allow the plate to be moved, then
adjust the position of the plate to open or close the air intake opening until a bright orange-red glow
is obtained. Carefully hold the plate in position and tighten the locking nut.
3.3 Shutting the Fryer Down
For short-term shut down during the workday, place the controller ON/OFF switch in the OFF
position and put the frypot covers in place (if the fryer is so equipped).
When shutting the fryers down at closing time, filter the oil and clean the fryers. Place the controller
ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. Then place the gas valve in the off position. See illustration
below.
Put the frypot covers in place (if the fryer is so equipped).
3-4
3.4 Optional Oil Attendant™ Automatic Top-Off
When the Oil Attendant™ top-off oil
system is in place on the fryer, oil is
continually topped off in the frypots from
a reservoir in the cabinet. The reservoir
holds a 35 pound box of oil. In a typical
operation this will last approximately two
days before changing. Components of the
system are annotated at the right (see
Figure 1).
NOTE: The system is intended to top off
the frypots, not fill them. The frypots will
require manual filling upon startup and after
disposal.
3.4.1 Prepare the System for Use
Once the fryer is positioned under the
hood install the JIB cradle shipped in the
accessories pack (see Figure 2).
Figure 2
3.4.2 Install the Oil Reservoir
Remove the original lid from the oil container and foil liner. Replace with the provided cap, which has
connected suction hardware. Ensure the feeder tube from the cap reaches to the bottom of the oil container.
Place the oil container inside the cabinet and slide it into place (as shown on the following page). Avoid
catching the suction hardware on the cabinet interior as the container is placed in the fryer.
The system is now ready for operation. As the fryer heats to preprogrammed temperatures, the system
will energize and then slowly add oil to the frypot as needed, until the oil reaches an optimal level.
3.4.3 Routine Oil Changes
When the oil reservoir level is low, the controller displays TOPOFF OIL EMPTY in the left display
and CONFIRM in the right display. Press S (CONFIRM).
Some procedures may differ from photos
shown. Follow manufactures instructions for changing the JIB.
3-5
1. Open the cabinet and slide the JIB from
the cabinet (see Figure 3).
Figure 3
3. With the jug upright remove the cap and
foil seal (see Figure 5).
2. Remove the cap and pour any remaining oil in the
container into all fry vats equally (see Figure 4).
Figure 4
4. Put the tube in the new full container (see Figure 6).
Figure 5
WARNING: Do not add
HOT or USED oil to a JIB.

The 3000 is capable of multiple setpoint (segmented) cooking, a feature which allows a cooking cycle to be
broken into a number of parts, each with its own cooking temperature and time.
An abbreviated version of the programming for a 13-minute cook cycle with four cooking temperatures
is shown below. Steps are compressed for clarity. The cook times represent when on the timeline of
the total cook cycle the segment occurs. In this example, the first temperature change occurs with 11
minutes remaining in the total cook time; 11 is entered at the prompt for the second cook time. Two
minutes into the total cook cycle, the temperature will change;11 minutes will remain. Cook times for
the remaining segments are arrived at by subtracting the segment length from the remaining cook
time. The complete programming steps are shown on pages 10 and 11.
• Step 1sets total cook time and initial setpoint.
• Step 2 sets the duration of the first cooking segment, 2 minutes, and the setpoint of the first
temperature change.
• Step 3 sets the duration of the second cooking segment, 4 minutes, and the setpoint of the
second temperature change.
• Step 4 sets the duration of the third cooking segment, 3 minutes, and the setpoint of the third
temperature change.
The four remaining minutes in the cook time elapse at the final temperature. No entry is required to
use the final minutes

5.2 Filtration
A 3000 controller prompts the user when to filter on the OCF30™ fryer. After a preset number of
cook cycles the controller displays filter now? alternating with YES NO. Follow the
instructions on page 4-12. If NO is selected or a cook cycle is started, the controller will prompt
again soon to filter the oil.
On demand filtration is used to manually start a filter. See page 4-11 for the filter menu.
The fryer MUST be at setpoint temperature for any filtration operation to start.
Note: Do NOT filter multiple vats simultaneously.
5.2.1 Operation of the Filter
DANGER
Draining and filtering of cooking oil must be accomplished with care to avoid the
possibility of a serious burn caused by careless handling. The oil to be filtered is at
or near 350°F (177°C). Ensure drain handles are in their proper position before
operating any switches or valves. Wear all appropriate safety equipment when
draining and filtering cooking oil.
DANGER
NEVER attempt to drain cooking oil from the fryer with the burners lit! Doing so will
cause irreparable damage to the frypot and may cause a flash fire. Doing so will also
void the Frymaster warranty.
1. Ensure that the filter is prepared. See Section. 5.1.
2. Make sure the oil is at operating temperature.
3. When prompted, drain the frypot into the filter pan by rotating the drain valve handle 90º (see
Figure 7). If necessary, use the Fryer's Friend clean-out rod to clear the drain from inside the
frypot.

5. The filter pump draws the oil through the filter medium and circulates it back up to and through
the frypot during a filter.
6. After the oil is filtered, close the drain valve when prompted and allow the fryer to refill. Let the
filter pump run 10 to 12 seconds after the oil begins to bubble. Turn the filter off.
7. Ensure the drain valve is fully closed. (If the drain valve is not fully closed, the fryer will not
operate.)
8. Turn the filter off when prompted.
The computer displays OFF when finished.
WARNING
The filter pump is equipped with a manual reset switch in case the filter motor
overheats or an electrical fault occurs. If this switch trips, turn off power to the filter
system and allow the pump motor to cool 20 minutes before attempting to reset the
switch (see photo below).
Filter Pump Reset Switch
5-4
WARNING
Use caution and wear appropriate safety equipment when resetting the filter pump
reset switch. Resetting the switch must be accomplished with care to avoid the
possibility of a serious burn caused by careless maneuvering around a drain tube
and around a frypot.
DANGER
The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a
fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles can
spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.
WARNING
Do not bang fry baskets or other utensils on the fryer’s joiner strip. The strip is
present to seal the joint between the fry vessels. Banging fry baskets on the strip to
dislodge shortening will distort the strip, adversely affecting its fit. It is designed for

5.4 Draining and Disposing of Waste Oil
When cooking oil is exhausted, the oil must be drained into the filter pan, SDU or other appropriate
METAL container for transport to the disposal container or if a bulk oil system is installed, use the
bulk oil disposal system by selecting DISPOSE from the filter menu if the fryer is equipped with a
3000(see page 4-13) and follow the prompts and instructions for disposing oil to the bulk oil system.
(For safe, convenient draining and disposal of used oil, Frymaster recommends the use of the
Frymaster Shortening Disposal Unit (SDU) for JIB systems. The SDU is available through your
local distributor.) NOTE: If using an SDU built before January 2004 the filter pan cover must be
removed to allow the unit to be positioned beneath the drain. To remove the lid, lift up on the front
edge and pull it straight out of the cabinet. Refer to the documentation furnished with your disposal
unit for specific operating instructions. If a shortening disposal unit is not available, allow the oil to
cool to 100°F (38°C), then drain the oil into a METAL stockpot or similar METAL container.
5-6
DANGER
Draining and filtering of cooking oil must be accomplished with care to avoid the
possibility of a serious burn caused by careless handling. The oil to be filtered is at
or near 350°F (177°C). Ensure all hoses are connected properly and drain handles
are in their proper position before operating any switches or valves. Wear all
appropriate safety equipment when draining and filtering oil.
DANGER
Allow oil to cool to 100°F (38°C) before draining into an appropriate METAL
container for disposal.
DANGER
When draining oil into a disposal unit, do not fill above the maximum fill line located
on the container.
1. Turn the computer power switch to the OFF position.
2. Position a METAL container with a sealable cover under the drainpipe. The METAL
container must be able to withstand the heat of the oil and hold hot liquids.
3. Follow the instructions for disposing of oil on page 4-13 if equipped with a 3000. Open the
drain valve slowly to avoid splattering. If the drain valve becomes clogged with food particles,
use the Fryer’s Friend (poker-like tool) to clear the blockage.
DANGER
NEVER attempt to clear a clogged drain valve from the front of the valve! Hot oil will
rush out creating the potential for severe burns.
DANGER
DO NOT hammer on the drain valve with the cleanout rod or other objects. Damage
to the ball inside will result in leaks and will void the Frymaster warranty.
4. After draining the oil, clean all food particles and residual oil from the frypot. BE CAREFUL,
this material may still cause severe burns if it comes in contact with bare skin.
5. Ensure the drain valve is closed securely and fill the frypot with clean, filtered or fresh cooking
oil to the bottom OIL-LEVEL line.

spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.
DANGER
Never attempt to clean fryer during the cooking process or when the frypot is filled
with hot oil. If water comes in contact with oil heated to cooking temperature, it can
cause the oil to splatter and severely burn nearby personnel.
WARNING
Use a commercial-grade cleaner formulated to effectively clean and sanitize
food-contact surfaces. Read the directions for use and precautionary statements before use. Particular attention must be paid to the concentration of cleaner and the
length of time the cleaner remains on the food-contact surfaces.
6.2 DAILY CHECKS AND SERVICE
6.2.1 Inspect Fryer and Accessories for Damage
Look for loose or frayed wires and cords, leaks, foreign material in frypot or inside cabinet, and any
other indications that the fryer and accessories are not ready and safe for operation.
6.2.2 Clean Fryer Cabinet Inside and Out
Clean inside the fryer cabinet with dry, clean cloth. Wipe all accessible metal surfaces and components to remove accumulations of oil and dust.
Clean the outside of the fryer cabinet with a clean, damp cloth soaked with dishwashing detergent,
removing oil, dust, and lint from the fryer cabinet.
6.2.3 Clean the Built-in Filtration System Daily
WARNING
Never operate the filter system without oil in the system.
WARNING
Never use the filter pan to transport old oil to the disposal area.
WARNING
Never drain water into the filter pan. Water will damage the filter pump.
6-1
There are no periodic preventive maintenance checks and services required for your FootPrint Pro
Filtration System other than daily cleaning of the filter pan with a solution of hot water and
detergent.
If you notice that the system is pumping slowly or not at all, verify that the filter pan screen is on the
bottom of the filter pan, with the paper on top of the screen. Verify that the two O-ring(s) on the
fitting at the right front of the filter pan are present and in good condition.
6.2.4 Clean Filter Pan, Detachable Parts and Accessories Daily
Carbonized oil will accumulate on the filter pan and detachable parts and accessories such as
baskets, sediment trays, or fish plates.
Wipe the filter pan and all detachable parts and accessories with a clean cloth dampened with a
detergent solution (or the parts can be run through a dishwasher). Rinse and thoroughly dry each
part. DO NOT use steel wool or abrasive pads to clean these parts. The scratches that result from
such scrubbing make subsequent cleanings more difficult.
WARNING
Use a commercial-grade cleaner formulated to effectively clean and sanitize food
contact surfaces. Read the directions for use and precautionary statements before
use. Particular attention must be paid to the concentration of cleaner and the
length of time the cleaner remains on the food-contact surfaces.
6.3 WEEKLY CHECKS AND SERVICE
6.3.1 Drain and Clean Frypot
DANGER
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with
water or oil before lighting the burners. Failure to do so will damage the frypot and
may cause a fire.
After the fryer has been in use for a period of time, a hard film of caramelized oil will form on the
inside of the frypot. This deposit must be periodically removed to maintain your fryer’s efficiency.
See the Clean and Filter procedure instructions on page 4-13 to clean the frypot.
6.3.2 Boiling Out the Frypot
After the fryer has been in use for a period of time, a hard film of caramelized oil will form on the
inside of the frypot. This film should be periodically removed by following the boil out procedure
that follows.
1. Before switching the fryer(s) ON, close the frypot drain valve(s), then fill the empty frypot with
a mixture of cold water and detergent. Follow instructions on detergent container when mixing.
6-2
2. For fryers equipped with 3000 controllers, program the controller for boil-out as described on
page 4-14. For fryers equipped with CM 3.5 controllers, program the controller for boil-out as
described in the separate Frymaster Fryer Controllers User’s Manual.
3. Simmer the solution for 30 minutes to one hour. Do not allow the water level to drop below the
bottom oil-level line in the frypot during the boil-out operation.
DANGER
Never leave the fryer unattended during the boil-out process. If the boil-out solution
boils over, turn the fryer off immediately and let the solution cool for a few minutes
before resuming the process.
4. Turn the fryer ON/OFF switch(s) to the OFF position.
5. Add two gallons (7.6 liters) of water. Drain out the solution and clean the frypot(s) thoroughly.
WARNING
Do not drain boil-out solution into a shortening disposal unit (SDU), a built-in filtration unit, or a portable filter unit. These units are not intended for this purpose, and
will be damaged by the solution.
6. Refill the frypot(s) with clean water. Rinse the frypot(s) twice, drain and dry with a clean towel.
Thoroughly remove all water from the frypot and elements before refilling the frypot with oil.
DANGER
Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with oil. Failure to do so will
cause spattering of hot liquid when the oil is heated to cooking temperature.
5.1.5 Clean Detachable Parts and Accessories – Weekly

CHAPTER 7: OPERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING
7.1 Introduction
This chapter provides an easy reference guide to some of the common problems that may occur
during the operation of your equipment. The troubleshooting guides that follow are intended to help
you correct, or at least accurately diagnose, problems with your equipment. Although the chapter
covers the most common problems reported, you may encounter problems that are not covered. In
such instances, the Frymaster Technical Services staff will make every effort to help you identify

When troubleshooting a problem, always use a process of elimination starting with the simplest
solution and working through to the most complex. Most importantly, always try to establish a clear
idea of why a problem has occurred. Part of your corrective action involves taking steps to ensure
that it doesn’t happen again. If a controller malfunctions because of a poor connection, check all
other connections while you’re at it. If a fuse continues to blow, find out why. Always keep in mind
that failure of a small component may often be indicative of potential failure or incorrect functioning
of a more important component or system.
If you are in doubt as to the proper action to take, do not hesitate to call the Frymaster Technical
Service Department or your local Frymaster Factory Authorized Servicer for assistance.
Before calling a servicer or the Frymaster HOTLINE (1-800-551-8633):
• Verify that electrical cords are plugged in and that circuit breakers are on.
• Verify that gas line quick-disconnects are properly connected.
• Verify that any gas line cutoff valves are open.
• Verify that frypot drain valves are fully closed.
• Have your fryer’s model and serial numbers ready to give to the technician assisting
you.
DANGER
Hot oil will cause severe burns. Never attempt to move this appliance when filled
with hot cooking oil or to transfer hot cooking oil from one container to another.
DANGER
This equipment should be unplugged when servicing, except when electrical circuit
