HFD, HFCF SERIES ELECTRIC FRYER
Australia, use only the caster supplied by the manufacturer for the fryer
device. The fryer must be installed using a hose assembly restraining device to
limit the movement of the appliance in accordance with AS1869.
The fryer must be installed with a connector (not supplied by Hobart)
complying with the above codes.
The fryer must be installed with restraining means to guard against
transmission of strain to the connector. See illustration.
The fryer must be installed with the casters provided.
If the restraint is ever to be disconnected, turn off electric supply to the fryer.
Electrical and Grounding connections must comply with the National Electrical Code
and/or other local codes.
Disconnect the electrical power supply to the machine and follow lockout / tag out
procedures.
Appliances equipped with a 120V flexible electric supply cord are provided with a three-
prong grounding plug. It is imperative that this plug be connected into a properly
grounded three-prong receptacle. If the receptacle is not the proper grounding type,
contact an electrician. Do not remove the grounding prong from this plug.
For 480 volt fryers a separate cord and NEMA 15-5P plug is required (not supplied with
the fryer). Plug in the wire connection into an approved outlet.
Place fryer as near to its final position as possible. Connect 3 phase line to X, Y and Z on
terminal block. To reach terminal block, remove electric cover plate from fryer.
For each 15½” (39 cm) and 21” (53 cm) section, a 3 phase supply line capable of handling
the required KW at the fryer’s rated voltage (208, 240, and 480) is needed. Refer to the
fryer data plate for this electrical information.
To shield electric connection supply wiring, a permanently connected or direct
wired device must be installed using flexible conduit sleeve with the appropriated
connectors.

HFD, HFCF SERIES ELECTRIC FRYER
Check the level of the fryer by placing a level on top of the fryer after electrical
connections have been made.
Ensure that the fryer is level front-to-back and side-to-side in the final installed position.
If using casters, lock the wheels after unit is level.
Hot oil and parts can cause burns. Use care when operating,
cleaning and servicing the fryer.
Spilling hot frying compound can cause severe burns. Do not move
fryer without draining all frying compound from the tank.
OVER-TEMPERATURE SHUTDOWN
If the shortening becomes overheated, a high-temperature shutoff device will turn the
heating elements off shutting down the fryer.
If the fryer shuts down due to overheating, do not turn fryer on until the shortening
temperature is below 300°F (149°C).
If an overheating situation persists, contact your local Hobart authorized service office.
Cleaning
New units are wiped down at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, grease,
etc. remaining from the manufacturing process.
Before any food preparation, thoroughly wash the protective oil from all surface parts and
the tank interior with hot soapy water to remove any film residue and dust or debris.
Do not use chlorine or sulfate/sulfide cleaners.
Wash any accessories shipped with unit.
Rinse fryer and accessories thoroughly and drain the fryer.
