The Quik n' Crispy® Greaseless Fryer Model GF5 is the result of over
thirteen years of research, development, and refinement. By using the
principles of forced hot air and radiant heat, the Quik n' Crispy can quickly
cook and brown a number of "oven ready" convenience foods. This easyto-use countertop greaseless fryer safely and efficiently eliminates the
health concerns, expense, and operating difficulties inherent with hot oil
cooking processes.
PACKING LIST

1 Quik n' Crispy Greaseless Fryer

Before the installation of your Quik n' Crispy, a suitable position in your
retail location should be selected. Points to consider when selecting a
location are:
1 Accessibility by store employees
2 Proximity to customers
3 Proximity to refrigerator and freezer equipment
4 Proximity to other retail points of sale to take advantage of cross
merchandising opportunities
5 Sight line of customer (to enhance customer perception of "fresh"
preparation).
The Quik n' Crispy should be mounted on a sturdy food service appropriate
table. Stainless steel is the preferable material. Allow for a certain amount
of workspace near the Quik n' Crispy so that operators will not have to work
in a confined location. We recommend a minimum of 1" of space
between the rear, sides and top of the Quik n' Crispy, and the walls, ceiling
or other structural surfaces of your facility.
In addition to suitable locations, accommodation must be made for the
necessary electrical hookups. Please note the following electrical
specifications.

1 The fryer weighs approximately 165 lb. The use of at least two or
three people is advised for portions of this installation.
2 Open the shipping carton and lift up the top portion of the shipping
carton.
3 Lift the carton leaving the Quik n' Crispy and the corrugated packing
set in place on the floor.
4 Remove the corrugated packing set from around the Quik n' Crispy.
5 Lift the fryer into position on the designated counter. Again, we
recommend a minimum of 1-inch clearance from any adjacent walls
or equipment.
6 Please note that a piece of tape is adhered to each appliance leg to
prevent them from shifting during shipment. Remove the tape each
of the appliance legs. Adjust the legs to balance the fryer on the
designated counter.
7 Attach the Cooking Basket handles to the Cooking Basket by
attaching the screws and acorn nuts to the base of each handle.
8 Remove the cooking basket assembly from the Quik n' Crispy by
pulling back on the handles. Place the basket in a safe location away
from the Quik n' Crispy.
9 Remove the grease and carbon filter bracket from the top of the air
filtration cone located at the top front of the GF5. This is the 4”
overhang on the front of the GF5. There is a quarter turn thumb
screw that needs to be loosened on the underside of each side of the
filter bracket.
10 Lift the Removable Front Panel that is located directly above the
Cooking Basket by applying slight upward pressure. It should slide
out at an upward angle.
11 Look into the interior of the cooking chamber to confirm that the air
plenum assembly (see drawing at the back of this Operator’s
Manual), heating element and thermocouple are properly installed. If
there are any accessories that have been placed in a plastic bag in
the cooking chamber, please remove the bag and it's contents.
Reattach the Removable Front Panel and reinsert the Cooking
Basket Assembly.
12 At this point, be sure that the On/Off Switch for the Quik n' Crispy is in
the center “Off” Position. Plug in your Quik n' Crispy.
To operate the unit, depress the switch to the right "POWER ON" position.
The exhaust fan should operate and the controller should show the word
“IdLE”. The front label shows 6 selection Keys, labeled 1 to 6. There are
15 preprogrammed cooking times, with the times and temperatures for
each menu listed on the attached sheet. All of the menus are programmed
to preheat the Quik n’ Crispy to the programmed cooking temperatures of
either 410°F or 425°, and to operate the cooking chamber blower while a
menu is running.
To start a menu, press the Menu Select Key (4). The controller will display
the currently selected menu. Press the Up (3) or Down (6) until the menu
you want appears on the screen.
Activate the menu by pressing the Start/Stop Key (5). If the unit is not at
operating temperature, it will preheat. While preheating, the word “PrEHEAt will appear on the display for a few moments, the Start/Stop Key
indicator light will flash slowly, and the temperature of the oven chamber
will appear on the display in 5°F increments.
When the unit is at operating temperature, the word “rEAdY will appear on
the display and the Start/Stop indicator light will flash rapidly. You are now
ready to cook with the active menu. If the unit was already at operating
temperature, the display will go directly to “rEAdY” without indicating
preheat or temperature.
With rEAdY on the display, place the food in the unit. Then press the
Start/Stop key to start the countdown timer. If you wish to "PAUSE" the
countdown timer hit the Start/Stop Key once. If you wish to cancel the menu, depress the Start/Stop Key for 5 seconds. When the controller
reaches zero, the buzzer will sound for up to 20 seconds with 3 short beeps
followed by 1 second off, until the 20 seconds have expired, or until you
depress the Start/Stop Key again.
If you wish to keep the unit at the operating temperature, after
preparing and removing an order from the unit, we recommend that
you activate one of the 15 preprogrammed menus to keep the oven at
the programmed cooking temperature.
