INTRODUCTION/PACKING LIST

INTRODUCTION

Marketed since 1990, the Quik n' Crispy® Greaseless Fryer is the result of 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 easy-to-use countertop greaseless fryer safely and efficiently eliminates the health concerns, expense, and operating difficulties inherent with hot oil cooking processes.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

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. The Quik n’ Crispy is available with either mechanical or electronic (programmable) controls. Both mechanical control models and electronic control models are available in configurations to meet various electrical requirements. Please note the following electrical specifications:

The 120 volt, 18.3 amp units (part nos. 600005 and 600020) require an individual branch circuit. Please insure that the Quik n’ Crispy is installed on an electrical circuit conforming to the specifications above and that this circuit has been installed and certified by a licensed electrician. When ordering parts or accessories for your Quik n’ Crispy, please specify voltage or part number.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

1. The Quik n’ Crispy weighs approximately 55 lb. The use of a second person

is advised for portions of this installation.

2. Open the shipping carton and fold back the shipping carton flaps. With the

flaps folded back, rotate the carton upside down on the floor.

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. Remove the plastic bag from the Quik n’ Crispy then remove the yellow tape

from the front of the Cooking Basket. Pull out the Cooking Basket assembly and remove the zip lock bag from underneath the Cooking Basket.

6. Remove the Cooking Basket handle; handle bracket, mounting screws, and

adjustable legs from the Operators Manual zip lock bag.

7. Using your fingers, screw the 4 adjustable legs into the bottom of the fryer.

8. Lift the fryer into position on the designated counter. Again, we recommend

a minimum of 1-inch clearance from any adjacent walls or equipment.

9. Adjust the legs to balance the fryer on the designated counter.

10. Attach the Cooking Basket handle bracket to the Cooking Basket. A #2

Phillips head screwdriver and a 5/16" wrench are recommended to insure proper mounting. Please check the other four screws and acorn nuts on the cooking basket assembly and retighten if necessary. They may have loosened while in transit to your facility.

11. Inspect the Separation Wall panel and look to see that it is mounted

properly. Because this can prove to be confusing, we have included a separate installation procedure on pages 7 and 8. Please turn to page 7 at this time and remove and install the Separation Wall panel.

12. Once the Separation Wall panel is installed, place the Drip Tray onto the

bottom drawer guides, angle it upward to a 45° angle to clear the stop and slide it in. This tray should slide in freely.

13. Place the Cooking Basket onto the Drip Tray. The two parts should now

slide in and out of the Quik n’ Crispy in unison.

14. 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.

POSITIONING THE SEPARATION WALL AND SPLASHGUARD

WARNING!

Before proceeding, make sure the Quik n' Crispy power switch is in the “OFF” position (this is the center position of the On/Off Switch) and that the fan blower is stationary and that the cooking chamber and heating element are not hot!

1. Lift the Removable Front Panel (RFP) that is located directly above the

Cooking Basket by applying slight upward pressure. It should slide out at an upward angle.

2. Pull the Splashguard out of the top of the cooking chamber. This is a

formed piece of stainless steel that is located between the heating element and the ceiling of the inner chamber. When inserted into the cooking chamber, the surface of the splashguard should be in contact with the ceiling of the chamber. The splashguard should be removed daily for cleaning with the other removable items located in the inner chamber.

Separation Wall Cutaway View

3. The Separation Wall was positioned properly in the rear of the inner

chamber of your Quik n’ Crispy prior to shipping. It is held in place by gravity with two inverted “U” channels that are formed on the back of the Separation Wall, mating with two “U” channel tabs that are located on either side of the fan (See picture above) on the rear wall of the cooking chamber. The Separation Wall can often come off the tabs that hold it in place during shipping. Please check and confirm that it is installed properly by removing and replacing the Separation Wall at this time. The photo above illustrates

how the separation wall is installed. It was taken with the top off of the Quik n’ Crispy in order to clearly show the installation. It is not necessary to remove the top to accomplish this procedure.

4. Place your hands on each side of the Separation Wall and lift it straight up to

the ceiling of the chamber to clear the mounting tabs. Pull the Separation Wall towards you until it makes contact with the Heating Element. Now pull the bottom of the Separation Wall out first and angle it out of the inner chamber with the bottom of the Separation Wall coming out of the inner chamber first.

5. Reverse the process and reinstall the Separation Wall by grasping it by the

sides with both hands and insert it into the front opening of the Quik n' Crispy, entering the front opening just above the top set of Drip Tray guides. Insert the wall straight back into the Quik n' Crispy until you touch the rear wall of the cooking chamber keeping the Separation Wall parallel to the floor of the Quik n' Crispy.

6. Angle the top portion of the Separation Wall upward towards the ceiling of

the inner chamber until it comes in contact with the ceiling. Slide the Separation Wall further back into the inner chamber so that it comes in contact with the rear wall of the inner chamber. Now lower the Separation Wall so that the two tabs of the Separation Wall catch onto the tabs on the top right and left sides of the rear wall of the cooking chamber. The Separation Wall should now be hanging upright, with the bottom of the Separation Wall approximately .25" up off the floor of the cooking chamber.

7. Slide the Splashguard back into the top of the inner chamber. Please note

that the surface of the splashguard should be closest to the ceiling of the inner chamber.

8. Place the Removable Front Panel back onto the front of the Quik n’ Crispy.

It will slide down at an angle onto the four pins that are located on the front of the unit.

THE INITIAL OPERATION OF YOUR QUIK N' CRISPY®

WITH MECHANICAL CONTROLS

The first operating cycle after installation should be a confirmation of the Quik n’ Crispy's proper working order. To do this, we recommend that you turn the On/Off switch to the "Timer On" position. If the Quik n’ Crispy is operating properly, you should be able to hear the fan circulating air. If you are uncertain that it is working properly, partially slide out the cooking basket and look into the fryer. The fan should be turning at a high rate of speed.

Turn the timer clockwise to the 15 minute setting. If, in the operation of the Quik n' Crispy®, you set the timer for a setting higher then desired, just turn the timer knob back in the other direction. This will not damage the timer.

Set the thermostat to 400°F. If the fryer is operating properly, you should be able to hear the fan circulating air and feel heat emanating from the fryer. If you are uncertain that they are working properly, partially slide out the cooking basket and look into the fryer. The fan should be turning at a high rate of speed and the heating element should be glowing.

If the thermostat is working properly, a clicking sound will be heard. This is the normal on and off cycling of the heating element as it maintains a constant internal temperature. Also, do not be concerned with any unusual odors during this initial cooking cycle. As with most commercial cooking equipment, a "factory" odor (somewhat oily) is emitted until burn-off occurs.

DO NOT PLACE YOUR HANDS OR A METAL OBJECT INTO THE FRYER WHILE THE UNIT IS OPERATING. This fryer operates at a high voltage and can

result in severe electrical shock to the user if caution is not exercised.
