1-4. MODEL VARIATIONS

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.

As in any unit of food service equipment, the Henny Penny Pressure Fryer does require care and maintenance. Requirements for the maintenance and cleaning are contained in this manual and must become a regular part of the operation of the unit at all times.

Should you require outside assistance, just call your local Henny Penny distributor in your area, call Henny Penny Corp. 1-800-417-8405 toll free or 1-937-456-8405, or go online to the Henny Penny Web site at www.hennypenny.com.

2-3. SELECTING THE FRYER			The proper location of the fryer is very important for operation,
	LOCATION		speed, and convenience. Choose a location which will provide
			easy loading and unloading without interfering with the final assem-
			bly 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.

To avoid fire and ruined supplies, the area under the fryer should not be used to store supplies.

	To prevent severe burns from splashing hot shortening,
	position and install fryer to prevent tipping or move-
	ment. Restraining ties may be used for stabilization.
2-4. LEVELING THE FRYER	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 RESULT IN SHORTENING

OVERFLOWINGTHE FRYPOTWHICH COULD

CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS, PERSONAL INJURY,

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.

We recommend you consult a local ventilation or heating company to help in designing an adequate system.

Ventilation 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 SUPPLY	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 deter-
	mine 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.

To avoid possible serious personal injury:

•Installation must conform withAmerican 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 BurningAppliances and local codes. InAustralia, installation must conform toAustralian requirements.

•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 GasAppliances,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 quick-
	disconnect 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

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.

To 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.

2-9.	GAS PRESSURE	The gas pressure regulator on the automatic gas valve
