STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
CONSTRUCTION
Fry tank constructed of heavy gauge mild steel
for stickless wet batter frying.
Welded tank with an extra smooth peened finish
ensures easy cleaning.
Stainless steel cabinet front, door, side and splash back
Heavy duty 3/16” (.48 cm) door hinges
Marine front edge to hold wet batter trays
Front 1 ¼” (3.2 cm) full port drain for quick draining.
9” (22.9 cm) bottom clearance allows for ease of cleaning.
CONTROLS
Blower Free Burner Technology provides dependable heat
transfer without the need for complex power blowers.
Integrated gas control valve acts as a manual valve, pilot
valve, main valve, gas filter and pressure regulator.
Gas control valve prevents gas flow to the main burner
until pilot is established and shuts off all gas flow
automatically if the pilot flame goes out.
Temperature limit switch safely shuts off all gas flow if the
fryer temperature exceeds the upper limit.
Solid State Thermostat mounted behind the front door.
A compact temperature controller incorporating automatic
melt cycle, system indicator lights and power switch.
Matchless ignition ignites a standing pilot once a day when
the power is turned on. Less wear and tear on components
and faster recovery when the controller calls for heat.
Drain valve interlock switch is hermetically sealed switch
that automatically shuts down the heating system if the
drain valve is opened.
FILTER SYSTEM
Extra Large 3” (7.6 cm) curved drain spout virtually
eliminates splashing and swivels for oil disposal.
Filter pan is stainless steel with rear wheels for easy
movement during cleaning.
Connection to fryer is self-aligning for ease of use.
Easy two step filtering. 1) Red handle to drain tank
2) Yellow Handle to return oil.
High flow pump and large return lines produce faster oil
refill times.
Filter pump thermally and overload protected
Filter pan lid stows in the cabinet and out of the way.
