conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2) This device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. While
this device is a verified Class A device, it has been shown to meet the Class B limits.
CANADA
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A or B limits for radio noise emissions as set
out by the ICES-003 standard of the Canadian Department of Communications.
Cet appareil numerique n’emet pas de bruits radioelectriques depassany les limites de classe A
et B prescrites dans la norme NMB-003 edictee par le Ministre des Communcations du Canada.
DANGER
Improper installation, adjustment, maintenance or service, and unauthorized alterations or
modifications can cause property damage, injury, or death. Read the installation, operating,

Although similar in appearance to the RE Series Electric family of Electric fryers, the OCF30™
Series Electric fryers with SMART4U
automatic oil top off system. The Euro-Look design incorporates a rounded topcap and a large
round drain, which ensures that fries and other debris, will be washed into the filter pan. Other
features, such as rotating elements and filtration system remain essentially unchanged. The OCF30
Series Electric fryers are controlled with a 3000 or CM3.5 computer. Fryers in this series come in
full- or split-vat arrangements, and can be purchased as two, three or four vat fryers.

1.3 Computer Information
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. While this device is a verified Class A device, it has 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 their own expense.

2.3 Positioning the Fryer
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.
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 electrical conduit or
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
Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of this appliance without
depending on or transmitting stress to the electrical conduit. A restraint kit is
provided with the fryer. If the restraint kit is missing contact your local KES.
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 oil spills, falls and
severe burns. This fryer may tip and cause personal injury if not secured in a
stationary position.
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.)
2.4 Installing the JIB Cradle
Open the fryer door (typically the far right door)
and remove the cross brace used for shipping
support by removing the four screws (see Figure
1). Install the JIB cradle shipped in the
accessories pack with the screws that were
removed in the cross brace removal step (see
Figure 2). If using the solid shortening option see
Appendix A in the rear of this manual for
installation instructions.

3.1 Equipment Setup and Shutdown Procedures
Setup
DANGER
Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled to the fill line with
water or oil before energizing the elements. Failure to do so will result in irreparable damage
to the elements 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™ with the automatic top off is NOT intended to use solid shortening. Use only
liquid shortening with this fryer. The use of solid shortening will clog the oil lines. The
cooking oil capacity of the OCF30™ Series electric fryer is 31 lbs. (3.7 gallons/14 liters) at
70°F (21°C).
DANGER
When using solid shortening, pack the shortening down into the bottom of the frypot. DO
NOT operate the fryer with a solid block of shortening sitting in the upper portion of the frypot.
This will cause damage to the frypot and may cause a flash fire.
Prior to filling frypots with oil ensure all drains are closed.
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) 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 power is switched on. Some models are equipped with a master switch located behind the
fryer door cabinet on the front panel of the component box, next to the fuse. OFF is displayed on the
controller.
4. Ensure that the controller is switched ON. When the controller is switched on, the fryer will begin heating
and will display MLT-CYCL alternating with the temperature and setpoint until the fryer temperature
reaches 180°F (82°C). 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. To exit the melt cycle on
the 3000, press the EXIT COOL button. Press YES to EXIT MELT?
5. Ensure that the oil level is at the topOIL LEVEL line when the oil is at its cooking temperature
Shutdown
.
1. Filter the oil and clean the fryers (See Chapters 5 and 6). If using a CM3.5 reverse steps 1 and 2.
2. Turn the fryer off.
3. Place the frypot covers on the frypots.
3.2 Operation
This fryer is equipped with either 3000 or CM3.5 controllers (illustrated on the following page). Fryers with
3000 controllers should refer to the 3000 Controller Manual 819-6872 for the controller programming and
operating procedure. For CM3.5 controllers refer to the separate Frymaster Fryer Controllers User’s Manual
furnished with your fryer for the specific controller operating instructions.
