NOTICE TO OWNERS OF UNITS EQUIPPED WITH COMPUTERS

U.S.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two 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, and service instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment.

DANGER

The front ledge of this appliance is not a step! Do not stand on the appliance. Serious injury can result from slips or contact with the hot cooking oil/shortening.

DANGER Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable liquids or vapors in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

RE SERIES E4 ELECTRIC FRYERS

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1 General

Read the instructions in this manual thoroughly before attempting to operate this equipment. This manual covers all configurations of FPRE14, FPRE17, and FPRE22 models. The fryers in this model family have most parts in common, and when discussed as a group, will be referred to as “RE Series Electric” fryers.

Although similar in appearance to the Pro Series Electric family of Common Electric fryers, the RE Series Electric fryers feature a significantly different rotating element with an enhanced design. Other features, including the deep cold-zones, open frypots and filtration system remain essentially unchanged. Control options include multi-product cooking computers (standard) or optional digital and analog controllers. Fryers in this series come in full- or split-pot arrangements, and can be purchased as single units or grouped in batteries of up to six fryers.

1.2 Safety Information

Before attempting to operate your unit, read the instructions in this manual thoroughly.

Throughout this manual, you will find notations enclosed in double-bordered boxes similar to the one below.

DANGER Hot cooking oil causes severe burns. Never attempt to move a fryer containing hot oil or to transfer hot oil from one container to another.

CAUTION boxes contain information about actions or conditions that may cause or result in a

malfunction of your system.

WARNING boxes contain information about actions or conditions that may cause or result in

damage to your system, and which may cause your system to malfunction.

DANGER boxes contain information about actions or conditions that may cause or result in

injury to personnel, and which may cause damage to your system and/or cause your system to

malfunction.

Fryers in this series are equipped with the following automatic safety features:

1. Two high-temperature detection features shut off power to the elements should the temperature

controls fail.

2. A safety switch built into the drain valve prevents the elements from heating with the drain valve

even partially open.

1-1

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.

The user is cautioned that any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio and television technician for additional suggestions.

The user may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission helpful: "How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems". This booklet is available from the U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, Stock No. 004-000-00345-4.

1.4 European Community (CE) Specific Information

The European Community (CE) has established certain specific standards regarding equipment of this type. Whenever a difference exists between CE and non-CE standards, the information or instructions concerned are identified by means of shadowed boxes similar to the one below.

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.

2-3

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 below). If the restraints are disconnected for service or other reasons, they must be reconnected before the fryer is used.

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 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) 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.)
