INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND CARE OF

HP15E SERIES ELECTRIC PRESSURE FRYERS

PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE USE

GENERAL

The HP15E Series electric pressure fryers produce uniform, high quality product and operate at a low temperature (325°F/163°C) and pressure (13 psig). Fast, pressure frying increases production, improves energy efficiency, preserves food flavor, and reduces shrinkage. Up to 15 pounds of product can be cooked in each batch.

The optional hood (Model HVH23) includes a nonvented exhaust fan with a three-stage air filtration system. Models with the hood also include an ANSUL

Model HMF50 is a portable 115-volt filter, available from Hobart, which may be used to filter the cooking oil. Use of the HMF50 is covered in a separate manual shipped with the filter.

Standard equipment includes:

Drain pipe extension

/4" diameter exhaust pipe (for models without the hood)

/4" pipe plug (for models with the hood)

1 Stainless steel vat Open-end wrench (used for teardown during cleaning) Flexible cleaning rod Four casters

Extra O-Ring seals for the lid, the kettle pressure regulator assembly, and the cleaning port plug screw are also included.

Models are designed for a 208- or 240-volt, 1- or 3-phase electrical supply. Standard wiring is 208-volt, 3-phase. Single-phase models are rated at 75 amps; 3-phase models are rated at 35 amps.

Fire Suppression System.

INSTALLATION

Before installing, verify that the electrical service agrees with the specifications on the rating plate located on the right side panel as you face the pressure fryer. If the supply and equipment requirements do not agree, do not proceed with the installation. Contact Hobart Corporation immediately.

UNPACKING

This pressure fryer was inspected before leaving the factory. The transportation company assumes full responsibility for safe delivery upon acceptance of the shipment. Immediately after unpacking, check for possible shipping damage. If the pressure fryer is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.

– 3 –

Carefully unpack the pressure fryer and place in a work-accessible area as near to its final installed position as possible.

Do not use the door to lift or move the pressure fryer.

Check off the accessories packed with the pressure fryer and the optional ventless exhaust hood (if so equipped).

INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS

The pressure fryer and ventless exhaust hood (if so equipped) must be installed in accordance with:

In the United States of America:

1. State and local codes.

2. National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA-70 (latest edition). Copies may be obtained from The National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 01169.

3. NFPA Standard #96,

Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment,

available from The National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 01169. (The optional ventless exhaust hood and the fire suppression system, if so equipped, already meet NFPA Standard #96 without requiring a separate exhaust hood.)

In Canada:

1. Local codes.

2. Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 (latest edition). Copies may be obtained from The Canadian Standard Association, 178 Rexdale Blvd., Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada M9W 1R3.

ASSEMBLY

Casters (Fig. 2)

Place the pressure fryer on its side, being careful to avoid scratching the surface. Use only the casters supplied with the pressure fryer. Thread the four casters to the flanges on the bottom corners of the pressure fryer. Use the open-ended wrench supplied to tighten (apply wrench at the flat surfaces on leg extensions). The two locking casters mount at the front; the nonlocking casters mount at the rear.

Exhaust Pipe (Models Without the Ventless Exhaust Hood)

Thread the 1

/4" diameter exhaust pipe (supplied) to the top of the exhaust tank at the rear of the fryer

(Fig. 3). This pipe should be at least 60" (1.5 m) in length. Use teflon tape or equivalent to seal.

Jumper Plug (Models Without the Ventless Exhaust Hood)

A single-wire jumper plug, with male pins in positions 1 and 2, MUST be plugged into the floating five-pin hood receptacle located behind the cover plate at the rear of the pressure fryer (Fig. 4). This receptacle, with five female pins, would otherwise mate to the five-pin hood plug. The fryer

will not operate

without

either the hood plug or the jumper plug in place.

LEVELING

Casters for this pressure fryer are of the nonadjustable type. Therefore, the floor must be level. If floor surface is not level, the pressure fryer will experience cooking problems.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

WARNING: ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE

APPLICABLE PORTIONS OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR OTHER LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.

WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND PLACE A TAG AT THE DISCONNECT SWITCH TO INDICATE YOU ARE WORKING ON THE CIRCUIT.

The wiring compartment is located behind the panel (Fig. 5) at the rear of the pressure fryer. Open the wiring compartment cover and make electrical connections per the wiring diagram located on the inside of the compartment door. Feed cord through the conduit hole (Fig. 6), exiting at the rear of the fryer.

OPTIONAL VENTLESS EXHAUST HOOD

The ventless exhaust hood is a self-contained air filtration system and includes a fire suppression system manufactured by ANSUL

Fire Protection, 1 Stanton Street, Marinette, Wisconsin 54143. It enables operation of the pressure fryer in a location without an externally-exhausted ventilation hood and wall-mounted fire suppression system. The three-stage filtration system removes oil particles,

steam and condensation, and cooking odors from the exhaust air. The ANSUL

Fire Suppression System actuates automatically if the temperature below the hood exceeds 165°F (74°C), or it can be manually triggered by the operator. In either case, fryer operation will be disabled. A damper at the blower outlet will close automatically to restrict air flow to the fire.

The ANSUL® Fire Suppression System must be charged and certified by an authorized ANSUL® dealer.

Hobart Corporation is not permitted to service the fire suppression system; only an ANSUL

properly maintain the fire suppression system. The ANSUL

representative must also adjust the nozzle

dealer may

of the system at the time of charging.

The ANSUL

A separate instruction manual is provided that details the ANSUL

system must be fully charged and operational for your appliance to be operational.

Fire Suppression System.

Safety interlocks disable operation of the fryer if (a) the fire suppression system is not charged and cocked; (b) one or more filters are missing or incorrectly installed; or (c) the exhaust blowers are not operating. Indicator lights aid troubleshooting by pinpointing open interlock switches.

Installation

The ventless exhaust hood is shipped separately from the pressure fryer. Assembly of the ventless exhaust hood to the pressure fryer will require a minimum of two people. It is recommended that you install and connect the hood assembly prior to powering the fryer.

To prepare the pressure fryer:

1. Make sure the front casters on the pressure fryer are locked before installing the hood.

2. Remove and retain the four 10-32 pan head screws from the upper rear of the cabinet below the countertop lip of the pressure fryer (Fig. 7).

3. Remove and retain two 10-32 pan head screws from the left side panel on the upper rear of the cabinet and two from the upper rear right side of the cabinet (Fig. 8).

4. Remove the hood from the skid.

• Remove four screws at the rear of the hood.

• Remove two screws from the right side and two screws from the left side of the hood.

5. With two people, lift the hood from the skid and place it on top of the pressure fryer.

6. While one person holds the hood in place, line up the holes of the pressure fryer with the holes in the hood. Start the four side screws (supplied) first.

7. Slide the drilled spacer bar under the rear overhanging lip of the hood and secure, using the four rear screws.

Caulk the joints between the hood and the pressure fryer countertop on the inside surface (Fig. 9). Use silicone rubber adhesive sealant (General Electric RTV108, or equivalent). Observe manufacturer's instructions for correct application. Allow the sealant to cure thoroughly before using the pressure fryer.

9. Remove and discard the cover plate from the top of the condensation tank (Fig. 10) at the rear of the pressure fryer. Retain the screws and leave the gasket in place.
