998 2-1

Henny Penny Model OFE/OFG-321,322,323,324

2-3. SELECTING THE The proper location of the Fry Station is very important

LOCATION for operation, speed, and convenience. The location of the

fry 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 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.

NOTE

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 fry station is in, or by restraining ties.

The gas Model OFG-320 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 materials, 4 inches (10.16 cm) from side and 4 inches (10.16 cm) from the back.

2-4. LEVELING THE FRY For proper operation, the fry station should be level from

STATION 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.

2-5. VENTILATION OF FRY The fry station should be located with provision for venting

STATION into an adequate exhaust hood or ventilation system. This

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 fry station. We recommend you consult a local ventilation or heating company to help in designing an adequate system.

NOTE

Ventilation must conform to local, state, and national codes. Consult your local fire department or building authorities.

2-2 998

Henny Penny Model OFE/OFG-321,322,323,324

2-5. VENTILATION OF FRY

STATION (Continued)

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.

2-6. GAS SUPPLY 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.

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 local, state, and national codes.

• Installation must conform with American National Standard

Z223.1-Latest Edition National Fuel Gas Code and the local municipal building codes. In Canada, installation must be in accordance with Standard CAN/CGA B 149.1 & Installation Codes - Gas Burning Appliances and local codes.

• 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 1/2 PSIG (3.45 KPA) (34.47 mbar).

998 2-3

Henny Penny Model OFE/OFG-321,322,323,324

2-4 998

Henny Penny Model OFE/OFG-321,322,323,324

2-6. GAS SUPPLY • A standard one inch, black steel pipe and malleable fit-

(Continued) tings should be used for gas service connections.

• Do not use cast iron fittings.

• Although one inch (2.54 cm) size pipe is recommended, 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 (.747 mbar).

• Do not adjust the vacuum pressure switch. It is factory set for the most efficiency.

Provisions should be made for moving the fry station for cleaning and servicing. This may be accomplished by:

1. Installing a manual gas shut off valve and a disconnect

union, or

2. 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 Z21.69 or CAN 1-6.l0m88 and a quick-disconnect device, complying with ANSI Z21.41 or CAN 1-6.9m70, 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.

3. Refer to the cable restraint instructions, on preceding page,

on how and where to attach the restraining devices to the wall and fryer.

2-7. GAS LEAK TEST NOTE

Upon initial installation, and after moving the unit, 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.

998 2-5

Henny Penny Model OFE/OFG-321,322,323,324

2-8. PRESSURE REGULATOR The gas pressure regulator on the automatic gas valve is

factory set as follows:

• Natural: 3.5 inches water column (8.7 mbar).

• Propane 10.0 inches water column (24.9 mbar).

3-3. FILLING OR It is recommended that a high quality frying shortening be

ADDING SHORTENING used in the OFG/OFE-320 fry stations. Some low grade

shortenings have a high moisture content causing foaming

and boiling over. The Henny Penny OFG-320 requires 55

pounds (24.94 kg) of shortening 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.

3-4. BASIC OPERATIONS The Henny Penny Open Fry Station has electronic controls

AND PROCEDURES for each cookpot. The following is brief description of the (6 Product Controls) operating procedures for controls with 6 Product Buttons.

1. Be sure the drain valve is in the closed position.

2. Place basket support inside of cookpot.

3. Fill the cookpot with shortening.

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

3-5 500

Henny Penny Model OFE/OFG-321,322,323,324

3-4. BASIC OPERATIONS 4. Move power switch to the "ON" position. Unit will

AND PROCEDURES automatically go into the melt cycle. When the

(6 Product Controls) temperature reaches 230°F (110°C) the control will go (Continued) into the heat cycle. The shortening will be heated until

the temperature setting is reached.

NOTE

The OFG-320 series fryer has several safety devices which shuts down the gas supply when they are activated. The above procedures should be followed to restart the cooker and if the shut down is repeated, a qualified technician should be notified.

NOTE

The melt cycle may be bypassed, if desired, by pressing a Product button and holding it for five seconds.

Do not bypass the melt cycle unless enough shortening has melted to completely cover all of the heating tubes. If melt cycle is bypassed before all heating tubes are covered, excessive smoking of the shortening, or a fire will result.

5. Once out of the Melt cycle, the Wait LED will flash until the setpoint temperature has been reached. Then the Ready LED will light, and the selected product will display on the left and right side of the display.

NOTE

The timing operation of the two sides of the control is entirely independent. They may be set, started, or stopped without affecting each other.

6. Thoroughly stir shortening to stabilize the temperature throughout the cookpots.

7. Once the shortening temperature has stabilized at the setpoint temperature, the operator can then lower the basket with product into the cookpot.

Do not overload, or place product with extreme moisture content into the basket. 12.5 lbs. (5.7 kgs.) is the maximum amount of product per cookpot, (15 lbs. (6.75 kgs.) maximum for Auto-lift fryers). Failure to follow these directions can result in shortening overflowing the cookpot. Serious burns or damage to the cookpot could result.

NOTE

In the Cook mode, when "FILTER SUGGESTED, shows in the display, the operator has the option to filter at this time, or to continue cooking. But, if the operator continues cooking, a Filter Lockout will occur within the next cook cycle, or two.

When "FILTER LOCKOUT", then "YOU *MUST*

FILTER NOW........” shows in the display, the PROG

button is the only button that will function, until the unit is filtered.

3-7. FILTERING Frying breaded food requires frequent filtering. Taste the

OF SHORTENING 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.

NOTE

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 tubes on the gas models, or heating elements on electric models.

Position the filter pan properly, under the drain valve, to prevent splashing of hot shortening. Severe burns could result.

3-7. FILTERINGOF 3. Open door(s) under unit, and slowly turn drain

SHORTENING valve handle a half turn. Leave for a few minutes, then

(Continued) slowly, fully open drain valve. This prevents much

splashing of the hot shortening as it drains.

4. As the shortening drains from the cookpot, use brushes

to scrape and clean the sides of the cookpot and the heat tubes or heating elements. 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:

Standard fryers

a. Close the drain valve. b. Position return line over empty cookpot.

Figure 3-3 c. Move the pump switch to the pump position.

Filter Handle d. Fill the cookpot 1/3 full, then turn off pump.

Autolift fryers

a. Close the drain valve. b. Turn filter handle to the on position. Figure 3-3. c. Fill the cookpot 1/3 full. d. Turn filter handle to the off position.

Use care when reaching across a cookpot of hot shortening. Severe burns could result.

e. Wash down and scrub the sides of the frypot with

the brushes.

f. After the sides and bottom are cleaned, open the

drain valve.

If shortening flow is slow from faucet, use gloves to tighten the filter union. This union will be hot, and

severe burns could result.

3-7. FILTERING OF 7. Pump all of the shortening out of the filter pan and

SHORTENING back into the cookpot. (Continued)

8. When the pump is pumping air only, move the pump switch from PUMP to OFF, or on autolift fryers, turn filter handle to OFF.

9. Check the level of the shortening in the cookpot. Add fresh shortening if necessary, until it reaches the top level indicator line on the rear wall of the cookpot.

NOTE

About 10 to 12 filterings can be made with one filter paper envelope, depending on:

• the quantity and type of product fried and filtered

• thetypeofbreadingused

• the amount of crumbs left inside the filter drain pan

When the filter screen assembly and filter paper become clogged, and the pumping flow slows, clean the screen assembly and change the filter envelope.

10. To continue cooking, move the main power switch to the "ON" position, and shortening reheats.

3-8. FILTER PUMP PROBLEMS To help prevent filter pump problems:

1. Properly install paper envelope over the filter screens. Fold the open end of the envelope, and clamp With retaining clips so that crumbs cannot enter.

2. Pump shortening, until no shortening is coming from nozzle.

3-9. FILTER PUMP MOTOR The filter pump motor is equipped with a manual reset but-

PROTECTOR ton in the event the motor's thermal protector actuates. This

reset button is located on the rear of the motor. Wait approximately 5 minutes before attempting to reset this protector device.
