This section provides the installation instructions for the
Henny Penny Fry Station.
Installation of the unit should be performed only by a
qualified service technician.
Do not puncture the unit with any objects such as drills or
screws as component damage or electrical shock could result.
The Henny Penny Fry Station 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 delivery agent and signed prior to his or her departure.
1. Carefully cut bands from cardboard carton.
2. Lift carton from fryer.
This manual should be retained in a convenient location for
future reference.
Wiring diagram for this appliance is located on the inside
access door below the control panel. Post in a prominent
location, instructions to be followed in event user smells gas.
This information shall be obtained by consulting the local
gas supplier.
The proper location of the Fry Station is very important
for operation, speed, and convenience. The location of the
fiy station should allow clearances for servicing and proper
operation. 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 con
tinuous 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.
The fryer should be installed in such a way as to prevent
tipping or movement causing splashing of hot liquid shortening.
This may be accomplished by the location the fiy station is in, or
by restraining ties.
The gas Model OG-300 Series Fry Station is designed
for installation on combustible floors and adjacent to
combustible walls. Fry Station must be installed with a
minimum clearance from all combustible, and
noncombustible materials, 4 inches from side and 4
inches from the back.
For proper operation, the fry station should be level from
side to side and front to back. Using a level place on the
flat areas around the frypot collar, on the middle well, adjust
the casters until the unit is level.
adequate exhaust hood or vent
is essential to permit efficient 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
1 fry station. 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 fry station do not attach an extension to the gas flue exhaust stack. This may impair proper
operation of the burner, causing malfunctions and possible
negative back draft.
The gas fry station is factory available for either natural
or propane gas. Check the data plate inside the front door
of the cabinet to determine the proper gas supply
requirements.
TE
The OG-301 can be operated at altitudes of up to 4000 feet
above sea level with no changes to the unit. For operation
above 4000 feet, please contact Henny Penny Corporation
for changes to the unit.
Do not attempt to use any gas other than that specified on
the data plate. Incorrect gas supply could result in a fire
or explosion.
Please refer to the illustration on the following page for the
recommended hookup of the fry station to the main gas line
supply.
To avoid possible serious personal injury:
* Installation must conform with American National Standard
2223. l-Latest Edition National Fuel Gas Code and the local
municipal building codes. In Canada, installation must be in
accordance with Standard CAN/CGA B 1 49.1 & .2,
Installation Codes - Gas Burning Appliances and local
codes.
0 The fry station and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of
l/2 PSIG (3.45 KPA).
* The fry station must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shut off valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system
at test pressures equal to or less than l/2 PSIG (3.45 KPA).

Secure l-bolt to a building stud. DO
NOT attach to dry wall only. Also,
locate the l-bolt at the same height as
the gas service. Preferred installation
is approximately six inches to either
side of service. Cable restraint must
be at least six inches shorter than
flexible gas line.
Utilize elbows when necessary to
avoid sharp kinks or excessive bending. For ease of movement, install
with a “lazy” loop. Gas appliance
must be disconnected prior to max-
imum movement. (Minimum move-
ment is permissible for hose
disconnection).
A standard one inch, black steel pipe and malleable fittings
should be used for gas service connections.
Do not use cast iron fittings.
Although one inch size pipe is‘reconunended, 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 fry station.
The pressure loss in the piping system should not exceed 0.3
inch water column.
“revisions should be made for moving the fry station for
leaning and servicing. This may be accomplished by:
Installing a manual gas shut off valve and a disconnect
union, or
Installing a heavy duty design A.G.A. certified
connector. In order to be able to service this appliance,
which is provided with casters, a connector complying
with ANSI 221.69 or CAN/CGA 6.16 and a
quick-disconnect device complying with ANSI 22 1.4 1
or CAN l-6.9 must be installed. It must also be
installed with restraining means to guard against
transmission of strain to the connector as specified in
the appliance manufacturer’s instruction.
Refer to the cable restraint instructions (illustration 2-6)
on how and where to attach the restraining devices to
the wall and fryer.
Prior to turning the gas supply on, be sure the gas dial
cock on fry station gas 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.
Never use a lighted.match or open flame to test for gas
leaks. Escaping gas could cause an explosion resulting
in severe personal injury.
The following steps provide the pilot PROCEDURE lighting
procedure:
1. Open doors and open gas shut-off valve. (see illustrations)
2. The gas cock dial has a dual function:
a. Complete control of gas to the pilot and main burner.
b. When in the pilot position, it is the reset mechanism
for the automatic pilot.
3. Partially depress and turn the control gas cock dial to
the OFF position.
4. Wait a sufficient length of time to allow any gas which
may have accumulated in the burner compartment to
escape (at least 5 minutes).
5. Turn the main power switch to the OFF position.
6. Turn the gas cock dial to the PILOT position.
7. Depress and hold gas cock dial while lighting the pilot.
Allow the pilot to burn approximately 30 seconds before
releasing the gas cock dial. The pilot should remain
lighted.
If the pilot does not remain lighted, repeat steps 2 and 3,
allowing a longer period of time before releasing the gas
cock dial.
8. Turn the gas cock dial to the ON position.
9. Turn the power switch to the “ON” position.
10. Listen for the gas burner ignition. It will be an audible
sound due to the gas igniting at the gas jets within the
burner.
Do not leave the power switch on for more than 10 seconds;
damage to the frypot may result.
11. The frypots should be cleaned per the instructions in
section 3.
12. The frypots must be filled to the proper level with
shortening. Refer to section 3-4.
13. The fry station is now ready for operation.
Depress lightly and turn manual lever on gas valve to
the OFF position.

By pressing the temperature switch (indicated by thermometer),
the actual shortening temperature will show on the left display
and the setpoint temperature on the right display.
Melt LED
When the melt LED is flashing, the fryer is in the melt cycle.
When the temperature of the shortening reaches approximately
250°F (121”C), the melt LED will go off and automatically
switch to the heat cycle.
When using solid shortening, it is recommended to melt the
shortening on an outside heating source before placing shortening in the cookpots. Heating elements, and the slope of the gas
cookpot must be completely submerged in shorting. Fire could
result, or damage to the cookpot could result.

Thermal Sensor
This manual reset, located on panel behind door, must be pushed
up in the event the high limit trips. This red button will manually
reset the high limit. A high limit protects each cookpot.
The contactors are the relays that route power to the heating
elements. One relay coil is in series with the high limit
temperature control, and the other relay coil is in series with
the heat control circuit, which is the mercury contactor.
The thermal sensor, located behind the control panel, determines
the shortening temperature.

It is recommended that a high quality frying shortening be
used in the O&301/302/303 and OG-301/302/303 fry
stations. Some low grade shortenings have a high moisture
content causing foaming and boiling over. The Henny Penny
OE-301/302/303 requires 48 pounds of shortening per
cookpot. The OG-301/302/303 requires 43 pounds per
cookpot. All cookpots have two level indicators
inscribed on the rear of the cookpot wall. The top indicator
shows when the heated shortening is at the proper level.
Cold shortening should be at the bottom indicator, since the
shortening will expand when heated.
Hot shortening must be maintained at the level indicator
on each cookpot, or fire could result. It is also
recommended to use gloves when in contact with hot
shortening. Shortening and all metal parts that are in
contact with the shortening are extremely hot and
severe burns could result.
Moving the fryer with hot shortening in the cookpots or
filter pan is not recommended. Hot shortening can
splash out and severe burns could result.
The Henry Penny Open Fry Station with dual timers contains solid state controls for each cookpot. The following is
brief description of the operating procedures.
Be sure the drain valve is in the closed position.

When using solid shortening, it is recommended to melt
the shortening on an outside heating source before
placing it in the cookpots. Heating elements and the
slope of the gas cookpot must be completely submerged
in shortening. Fire could result, or damage to the
cookpot could result.

temperature reaches 250°F (121OC) the control will go
into the heat cycle. The shortening will be heated until
the temperature setting is reached.
The melt cycle may be bypassed, if desired, by pressing the
Exit Melt switch and holding it for five seconds.
Do not bypass the melt cycle unless enough shortening has
melted to completely cover 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.

Frying breaded food requires frequent filtering. Taste the
cold shortening every day for flavor. Watch the shortening
for foaming during the frying cycle. Discard the shortening as soon as it shows sign of foaming. Clean the cookpot
as follows each time the shortening is changed or filtered.
1. Turn the main switch to the OFF position. Remove and
clean the fry basket in soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.
Best results are obtained when shortening is filtered at the
normal frying temperature.
2. Use a metal spatula to scrape any build up from the sides
of the cookpot. Do not scrape heating elements on electric models, or the slope on the gas models.
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 door(s) under unit and 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 cookpot, use brushes
to scrape and clean the side of the cookpot and the
heating elements of the electric model. If the drain fills
with breading, use straight white brush to push excess
breading into the drain pan.
5. When all of the shortening has drained, scrape or brush
the sides and the bottom of the cookpot.
6. Rinse the cookpot as follows:
a. Close the drain valve.
b. Position return line over empty cookpot.
c. Move the pump switch to the pump position.
d. Fill the cookpot l/3 full, then turn off pump.
