PLEASE READ INSTRUCTIONS FULLY BEFORE USE
IMPORTANT- YOUR ATTENTION IS DRAWN TO THE GAS SAFETY REGULATIONS. THIS APPLIANCE MUST
ONLY BE USED IN A WELL VENTILATED AREA. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT A MINIMUM AREA OF 450mm²
PER 1 Kw (3400 Btu/HR) OF TOTAL INPUT MUST BE ALLOWED. PARTICULAR ATTENTION SHOULD BE
PAID TO THE SUPPLY OF CLEAN FRESH AIR AT LOW LEVEL TO THE APPLIANCE.
Attention is drawn to the requirement of the fryer to be fixed to the floor by means of fixing
holes in the flanged feet.
The data plate on the rear of the appliance must be checked to ensure the appliance is suitable
for the gas supply available. This appliance must be installed in accordance with the rules in
force.
Read the user instructions, read the installation instructions and ensure the correct ventilation
requirements are met. Attention should also be drawn to the need for regular servicing.
In normal use parts of the catering equipment may become hot, suitable precautions must be
taken to avoid accidental burns, therefore the appliance should be positioned to minimise the
risk of accidental touching. It is the responsibility of supervisors to warn users of this and
ensure the operators of this equipment are trained in safe operation of this appliance. It is
recommended the appliance be fitted below a ventilating hood, preferably of the extractor
type, incorporating a grease filter.
All commercial gas catering equipment is recommended to be mounted below an extraction
canopy. Please consult a ventilation engineer or refer to Guidelines DW172 to calculate the
ventilation requirements for cooking areas containing different pieces of gas catering
equipment.

Installation Instructions
POSITIONING
The appliance must not be installed on or against combustible surfaces – minimum clearances
must be:
Rear 150mm (6”)
Sides 150mm (6”) FROM ANY ADJACENT WALL
It is recommended that the appliance be sited below a ventilating hood preferably of the
extractor type incorporating a grease filter.
The minimum distance between the top of the appliance and any over shelf or ceiling
constructed of combustible material must be 1525mm (60”). All local fire regulations must be
observed before the appliance is commissioned the gas safety regulations require that all gas
connections on the gas line are tested for gas soundness between the gas meter and the
appliance. All packing and protective film must be removed from the panels etc. prior to
commissioning the appliance.
GAS CONNECTION
The gas connection is ½” B.S.P.T. on the left hand side rear of the fryer. The supply pipe must
not be less than ½”, an easily accessible isolation cock should be fitted in the pipework as close
as possible to the fryer. An approved flex may be used in conjunction with a straining cable.
Gas hoses used to connect the appliance to the gas supply must be of the correct specification
for the gas and pressure of the appliance. The gas hose must comply with the national
requirements in force, and be CE marked, of a metal braided construction suitable for
commercial catering equipment. The hoses should be periodically examined and replaced as
necessary
The tube or hose shall be fitted such that there are no sharp bends or torsional strain which
may cause damage or failure of the tube or hose, especially near the end fittings. Torsional
strain can be prevented by the use of internal unions, swivel joints, etc. The bend radius should
not exceed that stated by the Manufacturer. The hose should not touch the ground and should
be no longer than 1.5m long.
A manual valve should be positioned upstream of the tube or hose unless the connection fitting
incorporates a self-sealing quick release coupling.
Where a quick release coupling is used for horizontal travel such as in commercial catering
appliances it is advisable that the coupling is facing downwards to prevent the ingress of debris
and ensure the hose is formed in to a smooth curve.
All units should have a restraining cable fitted preventing the unit from being pulled away from
the wall and causing the gas hose to become disconnected accident

Operating Instructions
The attention of the user is drawn to the current Gas Safety (Instructions and Use)
Regulations in force. This appliance must be used in accordance with these, also the need
for regular servicing which must be carried out by a competent and qualified person.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: DO NOT LIGHT BURNERS WHEN THE PAN IS EMPTY
Open the compartment door, ensure the drain valves are closed and check the level of
cooking oil (between maximum and minimum markings). The oil required to fill the pan to
the correct level is 12 litres per pan.
Turn on the gas supply.
1) Turn the thermostat to position 1.
2) Turn top control knob anticlockwise
until stops, Press control knob in and
turn anticlockwise to Ignite pilot. If
pilot fails to ignite, repeat the
procedure until pilot is lit. Hold knob
in for 20-30 seconds to ensure pilot
flame is fully established.

Parry-British Built for Purpose
IN273-4
1) Release the knob and turn fully anti-
clockwise to main burner position.
2) Turn the thermostat dial to the
appropriate setting
(Please note if using solidified oil or fat
follow the steps below)
NOTE: LIDS SHOULD NOT BE USED WHILST FRYING
SHUT DOWN OF THE FRYER
When appliance is not required for cooking, turn control knob clockwise to the pilot setting
this will leave the fryer ready for the next time. Turn back to main burner setting once
required and adjust thermostat to the required setting.
To turn the unit off completely, turn the control knob clockwise to the off position and turn
off gas supply.
USE OF SOLIDIFIED OIL OR FAT
In an empty pan
IMPORTANT: If solidified oil or fat is to be used, remove the grid from the bottom of the pan,
break the solidified oil or fat into small pieces and fill the V shaped bottom of the pan.
Light the appliance and turn the thermostat knob to 130˚C (Setting 2). Continue to add pieces
of fat into the pan until the V shaped bottom is filled with the molten fat. If the fat appears
to be overheating, turn the thermostat OFF, continue to add fat and turn the thermostat ON
when the fat has cooled.
Refit the grid and put the remaining oil or fat into the pan until the level is up to the
mark. Allow to heat up slowly until all the fat has melted, then turn the thermostat knob to
the required cooking temperature.

Parry-British Built for Purpose
IN273-4
Operating Instructions
Already solidified in the pan
Light the appliance and turn the thermostat ON for approximately 5-10 seconds, and then
turn OFF again. Leave it for 30 seconds before repeating the 5-10 seconds cycle.
Continue to repeat until the fat has melted so that any remaining un-melted pieces are free
floating, then turn the thermostat to the required temperature.
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
With the thermostat knob turned to the required cooking temperature, allow the oil or fat
to heat up for about 20 minutes before starting to cook. After each load is removed from
the fryer always allow 2½ minutes for the temperature of the oil to recover before the next
load is put into the oil.
THE FRYING MEDIUM
Ensure oil is always maintained at the level indicated. Good quality vegetable oil is
recommended. The life expectancy of oils will be lengthened if they are filtered regularly –
food particles not removed turn rancid and reduce oil quality. The life of the oil will also be
extended if the temperature is turned down when the fryer is not is use.
“Please note also, using old oil will reduce the flash point and therefore present a greater
fire hazard and be more prone to surge boiling. Attention should also be drawn to the effect
of over-wet food and too large a charge on surge boiling”.
Chip Frying
The recommended load for each batch is 1.4 kg (3 lbs) for each basket. This will fill the
basket about 2/3rd full and it is important that this load should not be exceeded.
Fish Frying
Cook fish by free floating them. Four or five 100g pieces may be cooked at one time. Slide
the fish into the pan slowly to avoid splashing of the oil or fat and prevent the fish sinking
and sticking to the base of the pan.
