provides the installation instructions for the
Installation of this unit should be performed only by
a qualified service technician.
Do not puncture the open fryer with any objects such
as drills or screws as component damage or electrical
shock could result.
The Henny Penny OE-100 has been tested, inspected, and
expertly packed to ensure arrival at its destination in the best
possible condition. The unit is bolted to a wooden skid and then
packed inside a heavy cardboard carton with sufficient padding
to withstand normal shipping treatment.
Any shipping damage should be noted in the presence
of the delivey agent and signed prior to his or her
departure.
1. Carefully cut bands from cardboard.
2. Lift carton from fryer.
3. Titling unit, remove leg bolts holding skid to unit.
Care should be taken when tilting unit to prevent
personal injury.
4. Remove packing and casters from frypot and thread into
leg inserts.
5. Remove filter drain pan and filter screen assembly from
box and slide underneath fryer. Connect drain union to
the standpipe assembly.
6. Remove baskets (if present) and brush set from box and
install baskets into the fryer pot.
7. Unit is now ready for location and set-up.
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 warmers, provides
fast continuous service. Keep in mind the best efficiency will
be obtained by a straight line operation, i.e. raw in one side
and finished out the other side. Order assembly can be moved
away with only a slight loss of efficiency.
For proper operation, the fryer should be level from side to
side and front to back. Using a level placed on the flat areas
around the frypot collar, adjust the casters until the unit is
level.
The fryer should be located with provision for venting into an
adequate exhaust hood or ventilation system. This is essential
to permit efficient removal of the frying odors. 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 other
authorities.
The OE-100 is available from the factory wired for 208 or 480
volts, three phase, 50 or 60 hertz service. Refer to the table

This three position rocker type switch controls the power to
the fryer when in the cook position. When in the pump position,
power is then applied to the filter pump motor.
This machine is equipped with an optional strip heater that
the operator must manually turn on and off. The indicator will
illuminate when power is applied and will melt any solidified
shortening that may have accumulated in the titer pump lines.
Strip heater must not be left unattended. Use only long
enough to melt the solidified shortening in lines.
The digital display is to show the shortening temperature, as
t
well as the timer countdown in the frying cycle. The
temperature of the shortening can be determined by depressing
the temperature switch. If the temperature is below 250”F,

Q
It is recommended that a high quality frying shortening be used
in the OE-100. Some low grade shortenings have a high
moisture content and will cause foaming and boiling over.
The Henny Penny OE-100 requires 65 pounds of shortening.
It has a level indicator line inscribed on the rear of the pot
wall, which shows then the heated shortening is at the proper
level. Cold shortening should be below the bottom of the level
indicator. The shortening will expand when heated.
Shortening level must be maintained or fire could
result. It is also recommended to use gloves when in
contact with hot oil. Oil and all metal parts that are
in contact with the oil are extremely hot.
The Henny Penny Open Fryer with dual timers contains a solid
state control of both cooking temperature and time. The following is a brief description of the operating procedure.
1. Be sure the drain valve and filter valve are in the closed
position.
2. Fill frypot with shortening.
When using solid shortening it is recommended to melt
the shortening on an outside heating source before
placing it in the cookpot. Heating elements must be
completely submerged in shortening. Fire could result,
or damage to the cookpot.
3. Move power switch to the POWER position. Unit will
automatically go into the melt cycle. When shortening
temperature has reached approximately 250”F, melt light
will extinguish and unit will go into heat cycle.
The melt cycle may be bypassed, if desired, by pressing and holding the Exit Melt switch for 5 seconds. The
control will go directly to the heat cycle.
DO
ing has melted to
e
enough shorten-
all of the heating
elements. If melt cycle is bypassed before all heating
elements are covered, excessive smoking of the
shortening or a fire will result.
The temperatures and times are preset from the factory
and the two timers operate independently. They may
be set, started, or stopped without affecting each other.
4. Thoroughly stir shortening to stabilize the temperature
throughout the frypot.
5. When shortening temperature has reached set point ,
ready light will illuminate, indicating to the operator they
may drop product.
6. Lower basket with product into frypot and lightly depress
timer switch. Countdown will begin.
7. When frying cycle is complete, an alarm will sound and
the display will flash “done”. Press timer switch to stop
alarm.
8. Lift basket to allow product to drain.
9. If a hold time is programmed, and the timer switch is
pushed, the timers will automatically start counting down
in a hold cycle.
10. At the end of the hold cycle an alarm will sound, and pressing the timer switch stops the alarm.

Frying breaded food requires frequent filtering. Taste the cold
shortening every day for flavor. Watch the shortening for
foaming during frying cycles. Discard the shortening as soon
as it shows signs of foaming. Clean the frypot as follows each
time the shortening is changed or filtered.
1. Turn the main power switch to the OFF position. Remove
and clean the fry basket in soap and water. Rinse
thoroughly.
The best results are obtained when the shortening is
filtered at the normal frying temperature.
2. Use a metal spatula to scrape any build-up from the sides
of the frypot. Do not scrape heating element.
The filter pan must be in the proper position beneath
the drain valve. This will prevent the splashing of
shortening on the floor. This splashing could result in
severe burns.
3. Open the drain valve very slowly, half a turn at first and
then slowly to the full open position. This will prevent
excessive splashing of the hot shortening as it drains into
the filter drain pan.
4. As the shortening drains from the frypot, use brushes to
scrape and clean the sides of the frypot and the heating
elements.
5. When all of the shortening has drained, scrape or brush
the sides and the bottom of the frypot.
6. Rinse the frypot as follows:
a. Close the drain valve.
b. Open the filter valve.
c.
ove the main power switch to the

P position.
If there are air bubbles coming up in the shortening,
it is possible that the filter connection at the union on
the filter tube line is not tightened properly. If so, turn
off the pump and use gloves to tighten the union. This
union will be hot. Severe burns could result.
d. Wash down and scrub the sides of the frypot.
e. After the sides and bottom are cleaned, open the drain
valve.
7. When using the filter rinse hose on your fryer, the following cleaning procedure may be used:
a. Attach the filter rinse hose with its quick disconnect
fitting to the male fitting inside the door next to the
filter valve handle. To do this, slide back the spring ring
on the female side of the quick disconnect fitting and
let it snap into place over the male half of the fitting.
b. Make sure the hose nozzle is pointed down into the
bottom of the frypot. Close the filter valve and move
the main power switch to the PUMP position, Hold
nozzle carefully to avoid excessive splashing.
Use caution to prevent burns by splashing of hot
shortening.
c. Rinse the frypot interior. Especially work on hard to
clean areas, like the frypot bottom. Clean around
heating elements.
d. After sufficient rinsing with shortening, close the drain
valve.
e. Turn the main power switch to the OFF position.
Only connect and disconnect the filter rinse hose when
the main power switch is in the OFF position. Also,
use a dry cloth or glove to avoid burns. Failure to do
this could result in severe burns from hot shortening
spraying from the male fitting.
f. Detach the hose. Raise the fitting end of the hose high
for a minute to allow the remaining shortening in the
hose to drain into the frypot.
8. Pump all of the shortening out of the filter pan and back
into the frypot.
9. When the pump is pumping air only, the shortening in the
frypot will appear to be boiling. Close the filter valve first
and then move the main power switch from PUMP to
OFF. This will keep the filter pump and lines from filling
up with shortening.
Check the level of the shortening in the frypot. Add fresh
10.
shortening if necessary, until it reaches the level indicator
line on the rear wall of the frypot.
Approximately 10 to 12 filterings can be made with one
filter paper envelope, depending on several conditions;
the quantity and type of product fried and filtered, the
type of breading used, and the amount of crumb
accumulation left inside the filter drain pan. When the
filter screen assembly and filter paper become clogged
and the pumping flow rate slows down, clean the screen
assembly and change the filter envelope.
11. If frying is to be continued at this time, move the main
power switch back to the POWER position, and allow time
for reheating of the shortening.
The following steps will help prevent filter pump problems:
1. Make certain the filter paper envelope is properly installed
over the filter screens. Make sure the open end of the
evelope is properly folded over and clamped in place with
the retaining clips so that the envelope is sealed and
crumbs cannot enter.
2. Make sure the filter valve is kept closed at all times during
frying.
3. Make sure all the shortening has been pumped from the
filter lines and the pump by allowing the filter pump motor
to run until the shortening in the frypot appears to be
bubbling or boiling.
