The Henny Penny open fryer is a basic unit of food processing equip-
1-4
INTRODUCTION
ment designed to cook foods better and easier. The micro computer-based
design helps make this possible. This unit is used only in institutional and
commercial food service operations, and operated by qualied personnel.
The Chick-l-A controls for the Henny Penny Models CFE-415 and
CFE-427 have many features to allow the Operator to produce consistent, quality product. The controls monitor not only cooking times and
temperatures, but also shortening condition, product weights, product
temperatures, and many other operational variables. The controls may
vary the actual shortening temperature and cook times, based on changes
of the operational variables.
The controls also have very extensive self-diagnostic functions which
alert the Operator to both component and procedure problems.
Some unique features of the fryer are listed below:
• Diagnostic Function-provides summary of fryer and Operator
performance; see Diagnostic Mode and Special Functions Section
• Alarms and Error Messages-provide immediate feedback for
Operator error or fryer malfunction; see Warnings and Error
Messages Section
• Status Mode-allows the Operator to view basic fryer information
and status; see Diagnostic Mode and Special Functions Section
• Information Mode-gathers and stores historic information on
the fryer and Operator performance, and can be viewed by the
Operator; see Diagnostic Mode and Special Functions Section
• Manual Program Mode-Operator can set time and temperature
for nonstandard products; see Diagnostic Mode and Special Func-
tions Section
• Easy toggle between English and Spanish operation. See Diagnos-
tic Mode and Special Functions Section
• Clean-Out Mode-a preprogrammed function for cleaning the
frypot; see Cleaning the Frypot Section

UNPACKING
This section provides the installation and unpacking instructions for the
Henny Penny fryer.
Installation of this unit should be performed only by a qualied service
technician.
Do not puncture the fryer with any objects such as drills or screws as
component damage or electrical shock could result.
Any shipping damage should be noted in the presence of the delivery
agent and signed prior to his or her departure.
1. Carefully cut and remove banding straps.
2. Lift the main box off the fryer. (This procedure should be performed
in an area with high ceilings, to avoid damage to the unit and ensure
sufcient clearance.
3. Unlatch and remove the drain pan from underneath fryer. Place in a
location clear of unpacking area.
4. Cut and remove plastic banding strap from around the fryer that is
laced through the pallet build-ups.
5. Tilt the fryer to one side and knock off the build-up free of fryer.
This will take two individuals, one for the tilting and second one to
remove build-up.
6. Once build-up is removed, relax fryer on pallet. Carefully push fryer
sideways in the direction of the removed build-up to clear the second
build-up.

UNPACKING
(CONT.)
Continue to slowly push fryer in the same sideways direction. Make
sure the casters are all rolling on the pallet deck board surfaces. Do
not allow casters to drop between pallet surface spaces. Ease fryer off
the pallet edge and clear of pallet.
Remove lter drain pan from fryer before removing fryer from pallet or
damage to the unit could result. Figure 1.
Take care when moving the fryer to prevent personal injury. The CFE415 weighs about 280 lbs. and the CFE-427 about 400 lbs.

SELECTING THE FRYER
LOCATION
The proper location of the fryer is very important for operation, speed,
and convenience. The location of the open fryer should allow clearances
for servicing and proper operation. Choose a location which will provide
easy loading and unloading without interfering with the nal assembly
of food orders. Operators have found that frying from raw to nish, and
holding the product in warmers provides fast continuous service. Keep in
mind, the best efciency will be obtained by a straight line operation, i.e.
raw in one side and nished out the other side. Order assembly can be
moved away with only a slight loss of efciency.
To avoid re and ruined supplies, the area under the fryer should not be
used to store supplies.
To prevent severe burns from splashing hot oil, position and install
fryer to prevent tipping or movement. Restraining ties may be used for
stabilization.
2-4
LEVELING THE FRYER
March 2015
For proper operation, the open fryer should be level from side-to-side and
front to back. Using a level placed on the at areas around the vat collar,
on the middle well, and then adjust the casters until the unit is level.
5
Model CFE-415, 427
The fryer should be located with provision for venting into an adequate
2-5
VENTILATION OF FRYER

ELECTRICAL
exhaust hood or ventilation system. This is essential to permit efcient
removal of the steam exhaust 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 re department or building authorities.
Check the data plate, mounted on the left-hand side of shroud for 427
or the right-hand side of shroud for 415, to determine the correct power
supply.
REQUIREMENTS
To avoid electrical shock, do not disconnect the ground (earth) plug.
This fryer must be adequately and safely grounded (earthed). Refer to
local electrical codes for correct grounding (earthing) procedures or in
absence of local codes, with The National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
No. 70-(the current edition). In Canada, all electrical connections are to
be made in accordance with CSA C22.2, Canadian Electrical Code Part 1,
and or local codes.
To avoid electrical shock, this appliance must be equipped with an
external circuit breaker which will disconnect all ungrounded (unearthed)
conductors. The main power switch on this appliance does not
disconnect all line conductors.
(FOR EQUIPMENT WITH CE MARK ONLY!)
To prevent electric shock hazard, this appliance must be bonded to
other appliances or touchable metal surfaces in close proximity to this
appliance with an equipotential bonding conductor. This appliance is
equipped with an equipotential lug for this purpose. The equipotential
lug is marked with the following symbol.

ELECTRICAL
REQUIREMENTS
(CONT.)
An all pole, separate disconnect switch, with proper capacity fuses or
breakers must be installed at a convenient location between the fryer and
the power source, and must be installed according to national and local
codes. It should be an insulated copper conductor rated for 600 volts and
90° C. For runs longer than 50 feet (15.24 m), use the next larger wire
size. CE units require a minimum wire size of 6 mm to be wired to the
terminal block.
It is recommended that a 30 mA rated protective device such as a residual
current circuit breaker (RCCB), or ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI), be used on the fryer circuit.
Permanently connected electric fryers with casters must be installed
with exible conduit and a cable restraint, when installed in the United
States. See illustration at left. Holes are available in the rear fryer frame
for securing the cable restraint to the fryer. The cable restraint does not
prevent the fryer from tipping.
The supply power cords shall be oil-resistant, sheathed exible cable,
no lighter than ordinary polychloroprene or other equivalent synthetic
elastomer-sheathed cord.
DRYWALL CONSTRUCTION
Secure I-bolt to a building stud. Do
not attach to drywall only. Preferred
installation is approximately six
inches to either side of service.
Cable restraint must be at least six
inches shorter than exible conduit.

FILLING OR
ADDING OIL
The oil level must always be above the heater elements when fryer
is heating and at the oil level indicators on the rear of vat. Failure to
follow these instructions could result in a re and/or damage to the
fryer.
Solid oil is not recommended. Solid oil could cause clogging and
pump failures.
Wear gloves to avoid severe burns when pouring hot oil into vat. Oil
and all metal parts that are in contact with the oil are extremely hot;
take care to avoid splashing.
Figure 1
1. It is recommended that a high quality frying oil be used in the
open fryer. Some low grade oils have a high moisture content
and cause foaming and boiling over.
2. Oil Capacity: 48 lbs/vat
All vats have 2 level indicator lines inscribed on the rear wall of
the vat. The upper-most line shows the oil at the proper level when
heated. The lower line shows oil at the proper level at room temperature. Figure 1.

1. Place the oil reservoir onto the shelf. Be sure to align the studs on the
bottom of the reservoir to the slots in the shelf. See Figure 3.
2. Push the reservoir back until it the tube is aligned with the receiver.
See Figure 4.
3. Push the reservoir into the receiver until it is fully engaged (all 3
o-rings are inserted into the receiver). See Figure 5.
Before placing the reservoir back into position, lubricate the o-rings
(below) on the lter tube with cold oil. Check o-rings for tears or nicks
and replace if necessary. To replace o-ring, use a small, at-bladed
screwdriver, pry up on the o-ring and pull off of end of tube. See below.

BASIC OPERATIONS
1. Fill the oil reservoir. See Section 3-5.
2. Turn the POWER switch to ON. Upon initial start-up “CLOCK
SET” may show in display. Set the clock to your time, following
prompts on the display, or see Section 3-2 for help. Then display
asks if the shortening is “NEW” or “OLD”. The controls
automatically adjust the shortening temperature to the age of
the shortening. Use
to set the number of days of old
shortening.
Unit automatically goes into the Melt Cycle until the oil
temperature reaches 230°F (110°C). The controls go into the
Heat Cycle and the shortening heats to a preset temperature after
reaching 230°F.
Do not leave fryer unattended unless enough oil has melted to
completely cover all of the elements.
3. Once out of the Melt Cycle, ashes until 5° before setpoint
temperature (plus any offset temperature).
4. Stir the shortening when prompted to “STIR VAT”. Be sure to
stir down into the bottom of the vat and back up to throughly mix
the oil from bottom to top.
5. Once the controls detect a stir, the timer will count down.
Continue stirring during this time.
6. Unit will return to ashing “WAIT”. (If it prompts to “STIR
VAT” additional times, continue stirring until the prompt
disappears.) When vat has cooled to cooking temperature,
then lights and the selected product shows on display.
The heat cycles on and off near the setpoint temperature to help
prevent overshooting the setpoint temperature (proportional control).
