1-1. PRESSURE FRYERThe Henny Penny Pressure Fryer is a basic unit of food pro-
cessing equipment which is used only in institutional and
commercial food service operations.
P-H-TA combination of Pressure, Heat, and Time is automatically
controlled to produce the optimum in a tasty, appealing
product.
PressurePressure is basic to this method of food preparation. The pres-
sure is developed from the natural moisture of the food. The
patented lid traps this moisture and uses it as steam. Because
the steam builds rapidly, a greater part of the natural juices
are retained within the food. An operation valve vents excess
steam from the pot and maintains constant live steam pressure.
HeatHeat generated is another important factor of the pressure fryer.
Energy savings is realized due to the unit’s short frying time,
low temperature, and heat retention of the stainless steel
cookpot.
TimeTime is important because the shorter time involved in frying
foods results in additional economies for the user. Foods are
table ready in less time than it would take to fry them in a conventional open-type fryer.
1-2. PROPER CAREAs in any unit of food service equipment, the Henny Penny
Pressure fryer does require care and maintenance. Requirements for the maintenance and cleaning are contained in this
manual and must become a regular part of the operation of the
unit at all times.
1-3. ASSISTANCEShould you require outside assistance, call your local
distributor in your area, or call 1-800-417-8405 or
937-456-8405.

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 a warmer
provides fast continuous service. Landing or dumping tables
should be provided next to at least one side of the fryer. 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 must 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 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 fryer.
Make certain the exhaust hood is designed high enough to allow
for proper opening of the fryer lid. We recommend you con-
sult a local ventilation or heating company to help in designing an adequate system.
The electric fryer is available from the factory wired for
2081120 or 240/120 volts, three phase 60 Hz. service. The power
cord may be already attached to the fryer, or provided at
installation. Check the data plate on the right side of the fryer
to determine the correct power supply.
This fryer must be adequately and safely grounded.
Refer to local electrical codes for correct grounding
procedures. If fryer is not adequately grounded,
electrical shock could result.
A separate disconnect switch with proper capacity fuses or
breakers must be installed at a convenient location between
the fryer and the power source. It should be an insulated copper
conductor rated for 600 volts and 90 “6. For runs longer than
50 feet, use the next, larger size wire.
Each Henny Penny pressure fryer was completely checked and
tested prior to shipment. However, it is good practice to check
the unit again after installation.
1. Cook a round of product.
2. Check to see that the indicator needle in the pressure
gauge is reading in the “Operating Zone”.
Should the pressure gauge read beyond the “Operating
Zone” turn the Power/Pump switch to the “OFF” position and refer to the Operation Control Valve Section.
Continued use of the unit at this high pressure could
result in serious injuries and severe burns.
3. Make sure lid gasket is not leaking, and no steam is coming
from safety relief valve.
4. Cheek the drain valve and fill line check valve
5. At the end of the cook cycle:
* The control will sound off by beeping.
The fryer will automatically depressurize.
6. Push the timer button.
7. When all the pressure has exhausted (observe pressure
gauge) open the lid.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN LID UNTIL THE
PRESSURE DROPS TO ZERO. Opening the lid when
the cookpot is pressurized will allow hot shortening and
moisture to escape from the cookpot, resulting in severe
burns.
8. Let rack hang for 3-5 seconds, then proceed to take out
racks of chicken and place onto a bun pan.
If all the above functions have been performed satisfactorily
the fryer is ready for operation.
All operators, as well as maintenance and management
personnel, must throughly read and understand the
Operation Section prior to putting the fryer into operation. Failure to adhere to these instructions could result
in serious bodily injury or property damage.
2-8. INTERNATIONAL
ELECTRICAL
~~REMENT~
Units being used outside the United States may not be shipped
with the power cord attached to the unit because of the
different wiring codes. The fryers are available from the
factory wired for 208240,380 and 415 volts, 3 phase, 50 Hertz
service. A terminal block is mounted inside the fryer for the
cable wiring. A decal on the inside of the right side panel will
help in the wiring of the unit.
To install the power cord, follow these procedures:
1. Remove the side panel from the right side of the unit.
2. Remove the front panel, behind the filter knob and quick
disconnect.
3. Thread the cable through the strain relief on the junction
box.
4. Attach the wires to the terminal block according to the
wiring diagram on the side panel.
5. Pull the slack out of the cable and tighten the screws on
the strain relief.
6. Pull the slack out of the cable and secure it with.the clamp
on the back of the cookpot.
Be sure the cable doesn’t sag, or it could interfere with
the use of the portable filter.
7. Pull the slack out of the cable and secure it with the clamp
on the frame, at the rear, right leg of fryer.
Be sure enough slack is out of the cable so it doesn’t
extend out past the portable filter stop bracket at the
bottom of the fryer frame. The cable could interfere
with the portable filter, not allowing it to be pushed
all the way in. This could cause hot shortening to spill
onto the floor.
8. Wiring the fryer is now complete.

1.Cook/Pump SwitchThis is a three-way switch with center “OFF” position. Move
the switch to the position marked “POWER” to operate the
fryer. Move the switch to the position marked “PUMP” to
operate the filter pump. Certain conditions must be met prior
to operation of the filter pump. These conditions are covered
later in this section.
2.CookpotThis reservoir holds the cooking shortening, and is designed to
accommodate the Heat Exchanger, 8 head of product and an
adequate cold zone for collection of cracklings.
3.Cooking RackThis stainless steel rack consists of five baskets that contain
the food product during and after frying.
4.Lid GasketThe lid gasket provides the pressure seal for the cookpot
chamber.
5.Operating ValveThe dead weight style operating pressure relief valve is used to
maintain a constant level of steam pressure within the cookpot.
Any excess steam pressure is vented through the exhaust stack.
NOTE
Remove the dead weight cap, and clean the cap, weight, and
orifice, once a day to prevent over pressurization of the
cookpot
6.Safety Relief ValveThe safety relief valve is an ASME approved spring loaded
valve set at 14.5 psi (999 mbar). In the event the operation
valve becomes obstructed, this safety valve will release excess
pressure, keeping the cookpot chamber at 14.5 psi (999 mbar).
If this occurs, turn the Power/Pump switch to the “OFF”
position to release all pressure from the cookpot.
7.Safety Relief Valve RingTHE RING IS NOT TO BE PULLED.
Severe burns from the steam will result.
8.GaugeThe pressure gauge indicates the pressure inside the cookpot.

Solenoid Valve
The solenoid valve is an electro-mechanical device that causes
pressure to be held in the cookpot.
The solenoid valve closes at the beginning of the frying cycle
and is opened automatically at the end of the frying cycle. If
this valve should become dirty or the teflon seat nicked,
pressure will not build up and it must be repaired per the
maintenance section.

Drain Valve
Drain Interlock
Switch
The drain valve is a two-way ball valve. It is normally in the
closed position. Pull the knob out to drain the shortening from
the cookpot into the filter drain pan.
DO NOT OPEN THE DRAIN VALVE WHILE
COOKPOT IS UNDER PRESSURE. Hot shortening
will exhaust from this valve. Severe burns will result.
The drain interlock switch is a microswitch that provides
protection for the cookpot in the event an operator inadvertently drains the shortening from the cookpot while the main
switch is in the COOK position. The switch is designed to
automatically shut off the heat when the drain valve is opened.
Condensation
Drain Pan
The condensation drain pan is the collection point for the
condensation formed on the lid liner and within the steam
exhaust system. It must be removed and emptied periodically.

3-3. FILLING OR ADDING 1. It is recommended that a high quality frying shortening be
SHORTENINGused in the pressure fryer. Some low-grade shortenings
have high moisture content and will cause foaming and
boiling over.
2. If a solid shortening is used, it can be melted into a liquid
level Indicator lines
first, then poured into the cookpot. Attempting to melt solid
shortening in the cookpot may cause burning or scorching
of the fresh shortening.
GLOVES SHOULD BE WORN AND CARE MUST
BE TAKEN WHEN POURING HOT SHORTENING.
Severe burns could result. Also, when adding fresh
shortening to existing shortening, care must be taken to
avoid splashing or severe burns could result.
3. The electric model requires 100 lbs. The pot has two level
indicator lines inscribed on the rear wall of the frypot
which show when the heated shortening is at the proper
level. Maintain hot shortening at the upper level indicator
line. Add fresh shortening as needed.
4. Cold shortening should be filled to 1/2 inch below lower
level indicator line.
3-8 203
Henny Penny Model 581
3-4. CARE OF THE
SHORTENING1. To protect the shortening when the fryer is not in imme-
diate use, the fryer should be put into the Idle Mode.
2. Frying breaded products requires filtering to keep the
shortening clean. The shortening should be filtered at least
twice a day; after lunch rush and at the end of the day.
3. Maintain hot shortening at the upper level indicator line.
Add fresh shortening as needed.
The shortening level must always be above the heating
elements when the fryer is heating, and up to the upper
level indicator line on the frypot. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in a fire and/or damage to the
fryer.
With prolonged use, the flashpoint of shortening is
reduced. Discard shortening if it shows signs of excessive
smoking or foaming. Serious burns, personal injury, fire,
and/or property damage could result.
To avoid shortening overflowing the frypot, do not
overload the basket with product, or place product with
extreme moisture content into basket. The recommended
product load size is 22 lbs (9.9 kg.) Serious burns, personal
injury, fire and/or property damage could result.
203 3-9
The following procedures should be followed on the initial startup of the fryer each time the fryer is brought from a cold, or
shut down, condition back into operation.
1. Check to see that all of the control switches are turned off.
2. Be sure the drain valve is CLOSED.
3. Remove carrier and baskets from lid and tilt lid back (see
section 3-2).
4. Fill the cookpot to a level at
l/2
inch below the bottom fill
line (see section 3-3).
5. Connect power to fryer.
6. Move the Cook/Pump switch to the “COOK” position.
7. Select the desired product using the Select Product switch.
The red indicator will be illuminated beside the product.
8. When the desired temperature has been reached the Ready
Light will illuminate. Stir the shortening at this time to
stabilize the temperature. Be sure to agitate the shortening in the “cold zone”
in the bottom of the cookpot.
Do not stir the shortening at any other time except at
initial “cold” start-up. Failure to follow these instructions can result in shortening overflowing the cookpot
which could cause serious burns, personal injury, fire,
and/or property damage.
9. After the shortening temperature has stabilized for a
minimum of 30 minutes, check the shortening temperature
using a good deep fat thermometer (Henny Penny part
number 12106). If off more than 5”F, refer to the
maintenance section.
10. If the shortening was not filtered the night before at shutdown, it should be filtered now, after the shortening
reaches the frying temperature (325°F) and before the
fryer is used.
If the shortening temperature exceeds 420°F immediately shut off the power at the main circuit breaker
and have the fryer repaired. If shortening
(temperature) exceeds its flashpoint, fire will occur,
resulting in severe burns and/or property damage.
11. Raise the lid up and place carrier and baskets onto lid.
12. Lower lid and emerse baskets into shortening, then raise
lid. This will keep the product from sticking to the baskets.
You are now ready to start frying.
Do not permit the fryer to set for an extended period
of time at high temperature (325 “F or above), because
the shortening will break down much sooner. When the
fryer is not being used for frying, put the controls to
the “IDLE” position.
1. Take the chicken parts, 2,4,6, or 8 cut-up chickens, from
the cooler and place in a scullery sink. Wash the chicken
and at this point break the thigh from the joint of the
backbone.
2. Remove any excess fat from the thigh.
I
3. Remove the chicken from the water and drain slightly but
allow the parts to remain moist.
4. If a breading machine is used, fill the breading drum with
approximately 8 to 10 pounds of PHT Fryer Mix. Feed
the moist but drained pieces into the chute at one end of
the breader.
5. Allow the breaded pieces to fall onto a tray as they come
out of the breader drum. (More breading may be needed
if a large amount of product is to be breaded.)
6. If a breading machine is not used, the food should be placed
in the dry mix and hand tumbled so that each piece of food
is completely covered.
7. Knock off any excess breading and place the breaded
product on a tray for cooler storage. Place a damp cloth
over the breaded food to retain moisture. The breaded food
should be held for a minimum of 30 minutes before frying, so that it can absorb spices from the breading and
so that breading can better adhere to the product.
8. Prepare fryer as per start-up procedures.
9. Be sure the product selector is on chicken.
10. Lower the lid and baskets into shortening, then raise them
to grease the baskets.
11. Remove baskets and place product into baskets - the larger
pieces to the outside edge of baskets.
12. Place the baskets onto carrier, starting with the bottom
rack and working up.
13. Place cover grid on top rack to prevent pieces from
floating.
14. Lower lid and baskets and lock lid down.
15. Push the timer switch.
16. Within a few minutes, the pressure gauge should increase
to the operation zone. If it does not, recheck the procedures
and then refer to the troubleshooting section.
17. When the timer reaches zero the fryer will automatically
depressurize and the control will beep. Push the timer
switch to reset the controls.
Check the pressure gauge reading. Do not attempt to
open the lid until the pressure drops to zero. Opening
the lid when the cookpot is pressurized will allow hot
shortening and moisture to escape from the eookpot
resulting in severe burns to the operator.
18. After the pressure drops to zero, open the lid.
19. Let baskets hang for approximately 15 seconds before
removing the baskets.
20. Place the product into a warming cabinet immediately.
21. Before frying the next load, allow time for the shortening to reheat. (Wait until the ready light comes on.)
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 power switch to the “OFF” position.
The best results are obtained when the shortening is
filtered at the normal frying temperature.
2. Remove carrier from lid of the fryer.
I
Rack may be hot. Burns could result.
3. Lower the lid to the lid stop bracket and tilt the lid back
and into an upright position (see section 3-2).
4. Use a metal spatula to scrape any build-up from the sides
of the frypot. Do not scrape heating element.
5. Roll the filter unit under the fryer, until the latch located
on the front, right leg of the fryer, secures the filter unit
in place.
The filter unit 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.
NING
6. Open the drain valve fully by pulling the drain valve knob
all the way out.
7. As the shortening drains from the cookpot, use brushes
(Henny Penny part number 12105 includes both brushes)
to scrape and clean the side of the cookpot and the heating
elements. If the drain fills with breading, use the white
brush to push the breading into the filter pan.
8. When all of the shortening has drained, scrape or brush
the sides and the bottom of the cookpot.
9. Rinse the frypot as follows:
A. Close the drain valve.
B. Connect hose of filter unit to the fryer.
C. Plug filter unit into the fryer.
Lower the lid so that the very first surge of shorten- Lower the lid so that the very first surge of shortening will not splash up or over the top of the cookpot,
causing severe burns.
D. Turn the cook/pump switch to the “PUMP” position.
Carefully open lid to see if shortening is returning pro-
perly. Fill cookpot
