SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION
Model 500/600
1-1. PRESSURE FRYER
P-H-T
Pressure
Heat
Time
The Henny Penny Pressure Fryer is a basic unit of food processing
equipment. It has found wide application in institutional and commercial
food service operations.
A combination of pressure, heat, and time is automatically controlled to
produce the optimum in a tasty , appealing product.
Pressure is basic to this method of food preparation. This pressure is
developed from the natural moisture of the food. The patented lid traps
this moisture and uses it as steam. Because the steam builds rapidly, the
greater part of the natural juices are retained within the food. An
exclusive deadweight assembly vents excess steam from the pot and
maintains constant low , live steam pressure.
Heat generated is another important factor of the pressure fryer. The
normal suggested frying operation is between 315 and 325°F . This
results in energy savings and extends the frying life of the shortening.
Energy savings is realized due to the unit’ s short frying time, low temperature, and heat retention of the stainless steel frypot.
Time is important because the shorter the time involved in frying foods
results in additional economies for the user. Foods are table ready in less
time than it would take to fry them in a conventional open-type fryer.
As of August 16, 2005, the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
directive went into effect for the European Union. Our products have
been evaluated to the WEEE directive. We have also reviewed our
products to determine if they comply with the Restriction of Hazardous
Substances directive (RoHS) and have redesigned our products as
needed in order to comply . To continue compliance with these directives, this unit must not be disposed as unsorted municipal waste. For
proper disposal, please contact your nearest Henny Penny distributor.
1-2. PROPER CARE
1-3. ASSISTANCE

2-2 1207
Model 500/600
2-3. SELECTING THE FRYER
LOCATION
The proper location of the fryer is very important for operation,
speed, and convenience. Choose a location which will provide
easy loading and unloading without interfering with the final assembly of food orders. Operators have found that frying from raw to
finish, and holding the product in a warmer provides fast continuous
service. Landing or dumping tables should be provided next to at
least one side of the fryer. Keep in mind the best efficiency will be
obtained by a straight line operation, i.e., raw in one side and finish
out the other side. Order assembly can be moved away with only
a slight loss of efficiency. To properly service the fryer, 24 inches
(60.96 cm) of clearance is needed on all sides of the fryer. Access
for servicing can be attained by removing a side panel. Also, at
least 6 inches (15.24 cm) around the base of the gas units is needed
for proper air supply to the combustion chamber.
To avoid a fire, install the gas fryer with minimum clearance from all combustible and noncombustible materials,
6 inches (15.24 cm) from side and 6 inches (15.24 cm)
from back. If installed properly, the gas fryer is designed
for operation on combustible floors and adjacent to
combustible walls.
2-4. LEVELING THE FRYER
To avoid fire and ruined supplies, the area under the
fryer should not be used to store supplies.
T o prevent sever e burns from splashing hot shortening,
position and install fryer to prevent tipping or movement. Restraining ties may be used for stabilization.
For proper operation, level the fryer from side to side and front to
back, using level on the flat areas around the frypot collar.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE LEVELING
INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESUL T IN SHOR TENING
OVERFLOWING THE FRYPOT WHICH COULD
CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS, PERSONAL INJUR Y ,
FIRE, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
1207 2-3
Model 500/600
2-5. VENTILATION OF FRYER The fryer must be located with provision for venting into
adequate exhaust hood or ventilation system. This is essential
to permit efficient removal of the flue gases and frying odors.
Special precaution must be taken in designing an exhaust
canopy to avoid interference with the operation of the fryer.
W e recommend you consult a local ventilation or heating company
to help in designing an adequate system.
V entilation must conform to local, state, and national codes.
Consult your local fire department or building authorities.
When installing the gas fryer do not attach an extension to
the gas flue exhaust stack. This may impair proper operation of the burner, causing malfunctions and possible
negative backdraft.
2-4 1207
Model 500/600
2-6. GAS SUPPL Y The gas fryer is factory available for either natural or propane gas.
Check the data plate on the right side panel of the cabinet to determine the proper gas supply requirements. The minimum supply for
natural gas is 7 inches water column (1.7 kPa), and 10 inches water
column (2.49 kPa) for propane. Maximum gas supply is 14 inches
water column (3.49 kPa, or .5 psi.
Do not attempt to use any gas other than that specified
on the data plate. Conversion kits can be installed by
your distributor if required. Incorrect gas supply could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in severe injuries
and/or property damage.
1207 2-5
Model 500/600
2-7. GAS PIPING Please refer below for the recommended hookup of the fryer to
main gas line supply .
T o avoid possible serious personal injury:
• Installation must conform with American National
Standard Z223.1-Latest Edition National Fuel Gas
Code and the local municipal building codes.
In Canada, installation must be in accordance with
Standard CSA Bl49-1&2, Installation Codes Gas
Burning Appliances and local codes. In Australia,
installation must conform to Australian r equirements.
• The fryer and its manual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa)
(34.47 mbar).
• The fryer must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psig. (3.45 kPa) (34.47 mbar).
• A standard 1/2 inch, black steel pipe and malleable
fittingsshould be used for gas service connections.
• Do not use cast iron fittings.
• Although 1/2 inch size pipe is recommended, piping
should be of adequate size and installed to provide
a supply of gas sufficient to meet the maximum
demand without undue loss of pressure between the
meter and the fryer . The pressure loss in the piping
system should not exceed 0.3 inch water column
(0.747 mbar).
Provisions should be made for moving the fryer for
cleaning and servicing. This may be accomplished by:
1. Installing a manual gas shutoff valve and a disconnect
union, or
2. Installing a heavy duty design A.G.A. certified
connector which complies with the Standard for
Connectors for Moveable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.6,
or CAN/CSA 6.16 with a quick disconnect coupling
2-6 1207
Model 500/600
2-7. GAS PIPING (Henny Penny Part No. 19921), which complies with
(Continued) ANSI standard Z21.41, or CAN 1-6.9. Also adequate
means must be provided to limit the movement of the
fryer without depending on the connector and quickdisconnect device or its associated piping to limit the
fryer movement.
3. See the illustration on following page for the proper connec tions of the flexible gas line and cable restraint.
The cable restraint limits the distance the fryer can be
pulled from the wall. For cleaning and servicing the fryer,
the cable must be unsnapped from the unit and the flexible
gas line disconnected. This will allow better access to all
sides of the fryer . The gas line and cable restraint must be
reconnected once the cleaning and servicing is complete.

2.8 GAS LEAK TEST
Model 500/600
Prior to turning the gas supply on, be sure the gas valve knob
on the gas control valve is in the OFF position.
After the piping and fittings have been installed, check for gas leaks. A
simple checking method is to turn on the gas and brush all connections
with a soap solution. If bubbles occur, it indicates escaping gas. In this
event, the piping connection must be redone.
T o avoid fire or explosion, never use a lighted match or
open flame to test for gas leaks. Ignited gas could
result in severe personal injury and/or property
damage.
