FOR YOUR SAFETY:
Do not store gasoline or other flammable vapors
or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other ap-

pliance.

TO THE PURCHASER
POST IN A PROMINENT LOCAllON IN­STRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED IN THE

EVENT THAT AN OPERATOR SMELLS
GAS. OBTAIN THIS INFORMAnON FROM
YOUR LOCAL GAS SUPPLIER.

WARNING
Ensure that the machine can get enough air to keep the
flame burning COn'ectly. If the flame is starved of air it
can give off a dangerous carbon monoxide gas. Carbon
Monoxide is a clear odorless gas that can cause suffo-

cation.

WARNING
Carbon Monoxide gas can build up if you obstruct the
flue. Blocking the flue will also cause the unit to over­heat. 00 NOT obsttuct the flow of combustion/venti­lation or air opening around the machine. Ensure that
you meet the minimum clearances specified in the in­stallation insttuctions. Adequate clearance around the
unit is necessary for servicing and proper burner op­eration.

WARNING
If the machine should shut down unexpectedly wait 5

-- -

minutes before attempting to restart it. This will allow
for any excess gas in the unit to dissipate.

WARNING

The power supply must be disconnected before servic­ing or cleaning the unit.

WARNING
This appliance is equipped with a three prong (ground­ing) plug. This is for your protection against shock haz­ard in the event of equipment malfunction. Always plug

the unit into a properly grounded three-prong recep­tacle. 00 NOT cut or remove the grounding (third)

prong.

WARNING

00 NOT use an open flame to check for gas leaks!

Keep all open flames away from the machine at all

times.

WARNING

Machines equipped with casters and a flexible power
cord. must be connected to a gas supply with a Quick­Disconnect device. This quick disconnect must com­ply with ANSI Z24.41. To limit the move~nt of the
unit without depending on the connector or quick dis­connect. a restraining cable must also be installed.

WARNING
There is an open flame inside the machine. The unit
may get hot enough to set nearby ma1erials on fire. Keep
the area around the unit free from combustibles.

WARNING
DO NOT supply the fryer with a gas that is not identi­fied on the data plate, located on the inside of one of
the doors of the machine. If you need to convert the
machine to another type of fuel, contact your dealer or
Authorized Blodgett Service Agency.

WARNING
To prevent tipping of the machine and splashing of HOT
oil your Pitco Frialator fryer is equipped with a Gas
Hose Quick Disconnect and restraining device. This at­taches the rear of the machine to the wall. When the
fryer is in its operating location, lock the casters and
reattach the restraining device to the rear of the ma­chine.

WARNING
Shortening, when it is at cooking temperatures, is very

HOT and DANGEROUS! Use extreme caution when
handling! Use the proper protective gear such as insu­lated gloves, aprons, face shield and sleeves when han­dling hot shortening. DO NOT attempt to move any
machine that has hot oil in it. Allow the oil to cool to
room temperature OT drain the oil into a suitable con­tainer before moving the fryer.

WARNING
Use only a B/C or AlBIC extinguisher that contains the
dry chemical Sodium BicartxJna1e or Potasium Bicar­bonate should be used to extinguish any fires.

INTRODUCnON

ChaRter 1: DELIVERY and UNPACKING

The development of the TURBOFRY 2000 fills the needs
of the food industry that have been, until now, unattain­able. They are:

Continuous filtration of the food oil.

1.

Crispier than ever fried food coatings

-i.

tion currents.

due to convec-

3. High production from a high efficiency heat transfer
stem.

sy

Continuous filtration of the cooking oil provides clean,
clear oil, even through busy periods. This means breaded
particles do not settle on heating surfaces and burn, which
in turn means longer oil life and lower oil costs. The
clean oil produces foods with coatings free of burnt food
particles that look and taste more appetizing. Turbofry

2(xx) has an advanced filter system that makes clean up
quick and easy. The main filters trap the larger crumbs
and can be lifted out for easy cleaning and replacement.

The Turbofry 2000 uses a heating process, within the
cooking area, known as "Convection", foods cook with
crisper coatings because hot oil is forced between the
individual pieces of food, the breading or outer coating
gets seared quickly before the food can absorb as much
oil as with a standard fryer. This will produce a finished
product that is much lower in absorbed oils.

Checkine Jour new (ner:

Your new fryer and it's filter have been carefully packed.
Every effort has been made to ensure that your fryer will

be delivered to you in perfect condition. As you unpack
your new fryer, inspect each of the pieces for damage. If

something is damaged, 00 NOT sign the bill of lading.
Contact the shipper immediately, the shipper is only re­sponsible for 15 days after delivery. Check the packing
list enclosed with your fryer to ensure that you have re­ceived all of the parts to the fryer. If you are missing any
parts, contact the dealer from whom the fryer was pur­chased. As you unpack the fryer and it's accessories be
careful to keep the weight of the fryer evenly distributed.

The Turbofry 2(xx) has a high efficiency gas combustion

system that transfers heat more efficiently than regular
fryers. The high input rate in conjunction with a large

heat transfer surface area give this fryer the ability to cook
high capacity loads effortlessly.

The fryer needs clearance around it for proper o~ra1ion.
Adequate clearances allow for servicing and pro~r burner
operation. The clearances shown below are for cooker

installation in combustible and noncombustible construc-

tion.

Combustible
Consuuction

3" (8 cm)
3" (8 cm)

In addition to the clearances required for proper fryer

operation, there must be at least 33" (84 cm) of aisle space

in front of the fryer to remove/install the filter pan/mod­ule.

Your fryer must be plumbed with a 3" drip leg. The size

of the gas hose, gas line and quick disconnect must be

sufficiently large cough to provide at least 250,(XX) BTUI
HR gas flow. The gas line must be installed to ~t the
local building codes or National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA

54-1984) and ANSI Z223.1-1988 Latest Edition. In
Canada, install the fryer in accordance with CAN/CGA­B149.1 or .2 and local c<*s. Gas line sizing require­ments can be detennined by your local gas company by
referring to National Fuel Gas Code, Appendix C, Table
C-4 (nawral gas) and Table C-16 (propane). The gas line
needs to be large enough to supply the necessary amount
of fuel to all appliances without losing pressure to any
appliance. Other factors that are used to detennine the

piping requirements are BTU requirements of the appli­ances being connected and the length of pipe between
the meter (main shut off) and the appliances.

2

NEVER supply the fryer with a gas that is not indi­cated on the data plate. Using the incouect gas type
will cause improper operation. If you need to convert
the fryer to another type of fuel, contact your dealer.

Fuel I;):BJ:

Each fryer is equipped to work with one type of fuel.
Each Turbofry 2<XX> is set at the factory and should need

no further adjustments. Refer to the data plate, located

on the inside of the door, for the gas specifications of the
machine you have. Attach a water manometer to the pres­sure port on the manual gas valve shown.

The Turbofry 2000 is supplied with casters and must be
installed with a gas connector that comply with the Stan­dard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI
Z21.69-1987, and Addenda Z21.69A-1989. This connec­tion should include a quick disconnect device that com­plies with the Standard for Quick Disconnect Devices
for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41-1989.

Check that the INPUT SUPPLY PRESSURE is 5 - 13"
WC for Natural Gas and 10 - 13" WC for LP gas.

WARNING

00 NOT use an open flame to check for gas leaks!

Gas Line Connection:

Connect the fryer to the gas supply line with a connector
that complies with the Standard for Connectors for Mov­able Gas Appliances (ANSI Z2l.69-1987). Connect the
gas line to the fryer using a pipe joint sealant that is resis­tant to Liquefied Petroleum. If the fryer was disconnected
during the fuel line testing, use a solution of soap and
water to leak test the new connection. It is advised that
the gas supply to the fryer be connected to the ventilation
system in such a way as to prevent the fryer from being
operated without the ventilator on.

CAUTION
NEVER use an adaptor to make a smaller gas supply
line fit the cooker connection. This will not allow suffi­cient gas flow for optimum burner operation, resulting
in poor cooker performance.

The fuel supply system must be tested before the fryer is

used. If the fuel line is going to be tested at a pressure
greater than (»1/2 PSI (3.45 kPa), make sure that the
fryer is disconnected from the fuel line. If the fuel line is
to be tested at a pressure equal to or less than (s) l/2 PSI
(3.45 kPa), the fryer can be connected but the unit's gas
valve must be shut. Test all gas line connections for leaks
with a solution of soap and water when pressure is ap-

plied.

The electrical service used by the fryer must comply with
local codes. If there are no local codes that apply, refer to
the National Electrical Code (NEC) to install the service.
In Canada refer to CSA Standard C22.1 and local codes.
