DANGER This appliance must be connected to a power supply having the same voltage and phase as specified on the rating plate located on the inside of the appliance door.

2.3 After Fryers Are Positioned At the Frying Station

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 equipped with legs, the bottom of the legs can be screwed out up to one inch for leveling. Legs should also be adjusted so that the fryer(s) are at the proper height in the frying station.

For fryers equipped with casters, there are no built-in leveling devices. The floor where the fryers are installed must be level.

When the fryer is leveled in its final position, install the restraints provided with the unit 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 (see illustration on the following page). If the restraints are disconnected for service or other reasons, they must be reconnected before the fryer is used.

2-3

NOTE: If you need to relocate a fryer installed with legs, remove all weight from each leg before moving. If a leg becomes damaged, contact your service agent for immediate repair or replacement.

DANGER Hot shortening 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.

1. Close fryer drain-valve(s) and fill frypot with water to the bottom oil level line.

3. Boil out frypot(s) in accordance with the instructions in Section 5.1.3 of this manual.

4. Drain, clean, and fill frypot(s) with cooking oil. (See Equipment Setup and Shutdown

Procedures in Chapter 3.)

PRO SERIES ELECTRIC FRYERS

CHAPTER 3: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

3.1 Equipment Setup and Shutdown Procedures

Setup

DANGER Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with water or cooking oil/shortening 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 cooking oil or shortening. Failure to do so will cause spattering of hot liquid when the oil or shortening is heated to cooking temperature.

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.

NOTE: If solid shortening is used, first raise the elements, then pack the shortening into the bottom of the frypot. Lower the elements, and then pack the shortening around and over the elements. It may be necessary to add shortening to bring the lev el up to th e proper mark after the packed shortening has melted.

DANGER Never set a complete block of solid shortening on top of the heating elements.

When using solid shortening, always pre-melt the shortening before adding it to the frypot. If the shortening is not pre-melted, it must be packed down into the bottom of the frypot and between the elements, and the fryer must be started in the melt-cycle mode.

Never cancel the melt-cycle mode when using solid shortening. Doing so will result in damage to the elements and increase the potential for a flash fire.

2. Ensure that the power cord(s) is/are plugged into the appropriate recept acle(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/shortening level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the oil/shortening is at its

cooking temperature. It may be necessary to add oil/shortening to bring the level up to the proper mark, after it has reached cooking temperature.
