1-1. PRESSURE FRYER The Henny Penny pressure fryer is a basic unit of food process-
ing equipment. It has found wide application in institutional
and commercial food service operations.
P-H-TA combination of pressure, heat, and time is automaticallycontrolled to produce the optimum in a tasty, appealing
product.
Pressure Pressure is basic to this method of food preparation. The
pressure 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, the 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.
Heat Heat 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 frypot.
Time Time 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 con ventional open-type fryer.
As of August 16, 2005, the Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment directive went into effect for the European Union.
Our products have been evaluated to the WEEE directive. We
have also reviewed our products to determine if they comply
with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive (RoHS)
and have redesigned our products as needed in order to comply.
To continue compliance with these directives, this unit must
not be disposed as unsorted municipal waste. For proper
disposal, please contact your nearest Henny Penny distributor.

2-3. SELECTING THE FRYER
The proper location of the fryer is very important for operation,
LOCATION speed, and convenience. Choose a location which will provide
easy loading and unloading without interfering with the fi nalassembly of food orders. Operators have found that frying
from raw to fi nish, and holding the product in a warmer pro-vides fast continuous service. Landing or dumping tables should be provided next to at least one side of the fryer. Keep
in mind the best effi ciency will be obtained by a straight line operation, i.e. raw in one side and fi nish out the other side. Order assembly can be moved away with only a slight loss of
effi ciency. To properly service the fryer, 24 inches (60.96 cm) of clearance is needed on all sides of the fryer. Access for
servicing can be attained by removing a side panel.
To avoid fi re and ruined supplies, the area under the
fryer should not be used to store supplies.
To prevent severe burns from splashing hot shorten ing, position and install fryer to prevent tipping or
movement. Restraining ties may be used for
stabilization.
2-4. LEVELING THE FRYER
For proper operation, level the fryer from side to side and front
to back, using level on the fl at areas around the frypot collar.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE LEVELING
INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SHORTENING
OVERFLOWING THE FRYPOT WHICH COULD
CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS, PERSONAL INJURY, FIRE AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
2-5 503
Model PFE- 591
2-5. VENTILATION OF FRYER The fryer should be located with provision for venting into
adequate exhaust hood or ventilation system. This is essential to permit effi cient removal of steam exhaust and frying odors.Special precaution must be taken in designing an exhaust canopy
to avoid interference with the operation of the fryer. We recom mend 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 fi re department or building authorities.
2-6. ELECTRICAL The electric fryer requires 208 or 240 volt, three phase, 50/60
REQUIREMENTS Hertz service. The power cord may be already attached to the
fryer, or provided at installation. Check the data plate mounted
just above the lid, on the left side of the back shroud, to determine
the correct power supply.
This fryer must be adequately and safely grounded
(earthed) or electrical shock could result. Refer to local
electrical codes for correct grounding (earthing) proce-
dures or in absence of local codes, with The National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-(the current edi tion). In Canada, all electrical connections are to be made in accordance with CSA C22.1, Canadian Electri-
cal Code Part 1, and/or local codes.
To avoid electrical shock, this appliance must be equipped with an external circuit breaker which will disconnect all ungrounded (unearthed) conductors. The
main power switch on this appliance does not disconnect
all line conductors.
A separate disconnect switch with proper capacity fuses or break-
ers 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 90o C. For runs longer than 50 feet
(15.24 m) use the next larger wire size.

Model PFE- 591
2-7. INTERNATIONALUnits being used outside the United States may not be shippedELECTRICALwith the power cord attached to the unit because of the differ REQUIREMENTSent wiring codes. The fryers are available from the factory
wired for 208, 240, 380 and 415 volts, 3 phase, 50 Hertz ser vice. 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.
CE units require a minimum wire size of 4mm to be wired
to the terminal block. If a fl exible power cord is used, it must be HO7RN type.
To install the power cord, follow these procedures:
1. Remove the right side panel of the unit.
2. Install the cord, with a strain relief, to the junction box.
3. Attach the wires to the terminal block according to the
wiring diagram on the side panel.
4. Pull the slack out of the cord and thread it down through
the the clamp on the frame, at the rear, left leg of fryer.
Then run the cable under the frame and out the rear of the
fryer, so it doesn’t interfere with the fi lter drain pan.
The fi lter drain pan must be as far back under fryer as it will go, and the cover in place. Be sure the hole in the
cover lines up with the drain before opening the drain.
Failure to follow these instructions causes splashing of
shortening and could result in personal injury.
