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).

This is the correct way to
install metal hose for ver­tical traverse. Note the
single, natural loop.

Allowing a sharp bend, as
shown at right, strains and
twists the metal hose to a
point of early failure at the
coupling.

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.

The gas pressure regulator on the automatic gas valve is
factory set as follows:

@ Natural: 3.5 inches water column.
* Propane 10 0 inches water column.
