Henny Penny 680 Operation Manual

Power/Pump Switch

The Power/Pump Switch is a three way switch with center
“OFF” position. Move the switch to the position marked
“POWER” to operate the fryer. Move the switch to the
position marked “PUMP” to operate the optional portable
filter pump. Certain conditions must be met prior to operaton
of the filter pump. These conditions are covered later in this
section.

Cookpot

Cooking Rack

Lid Gasket

Operating Valve

Safety Relief Valve

This reservoir holds the cooking shortening.

This stainless steel rack consists of five shelves which contain
the food product during and after frying.

The lid gasket provides the pressure seal for the cookpot

chamber.

The dead weight style operating pressure relief valve is used
to maintain a constant level of steam pressure within the
cookpot. Any excess steam pressure is vented through the
exhaust stack.

The safety relief valve is an ASME approved spring loaded
valve set at 14.5 psi. In the event the operation valve becomes
obstructed, this safety valve will release excess pressure,
keeping the cookpot chamber at 14.5 psi. If this occurs, turn
the Power/Pump switch to the “OFF” position to release all
pressure from the cookpot.

Safety Relief Valve Lever

THE LEVER IS NOT TO BE PULLED.

Severe burns from the steam will result.

Gauge

The pressure gauge indicates the pressure inside the cookpot.

Solenoid Valve

Drain Valve

The solenoid valve is an electro-mechanical device that causes

pressure to be held in the cookpot.
The solenoid valve closes at the beginning of the frying cycle

and is opened automatically at the end of the frying cycle. If
this valve should become dirty or the teflon seat nicked,
pressure will not build up and it must be repaired per the
maintenance section.

The drain valve is a two-way ball valve. It is normally in the

. closed position. Pull the knob out to drain the shortening from

the cookpot into the filter drain pan.

DO NOT OPEN THE DRAIN VALVE WHILE
COOKPOT IS UNDER PRESSURE. Hot shortening
will exhaust from this valve. Severe burns will result.

Drain Interlock Switch

Condensation Drain Pan

The drain interlock switch is a microswitch that provides
protection for the cookpot in the event an operator inadver­tently drains the shortening from the cookpot while the main

switch is in the POWER position. The switch is designed to
automatically shut off the heat when the dram valve is opened.

The condensation drain pan is the collection point for the
condensation formed within the steam exhaust system. It must
be removed and emptied periodically.

The lid stop bracket stops the upward motion of the lid
assembly. This allows the lid to be lifted to an upright position
with the rack removed allowing easier access to the cookpot
for filtering and cleaning.

To close lid:

1.

Lower the lid until gasket comes into contact with the pot.

2.

With the lid lowered, pull lid handle forward until it stops.

3. Lift up on the lid handle until it stops.

4. Bring lid handle out towards you until it stops.

5. Push lid handle down, locking lid in place.

To open lid:

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN LID UNTIL THE
PRESSURE DROPS TO ZERO. Opening the lid when
the cookpot is pressurized will allow hot shortening and
moisture to escape from the cookpot, resulting in severe
burns.

Gently raise handle until it stops.

1.

Push handle back until it stops.

2.

Lower handle.

3.

DO NOT raise the lid with the handle in the up
position. Be sure to lower the handle before attempting
to raise the lid, or damage to the lid could result.

Push handle back and raise lid.
