The major safety concern associated with the Ultrafryer Premix Gas fryer is burns from hot shortening.
In order to prevent serious burns, good housekeeping habits are required. The floor in front of and the area around the fryer
should be kept clean and dry. Whenever anything is placed into a fryer vat, care should be used not to splash the hot shortening.
Product should always be “PLACED” into the shortening, not thrown. Safety goggles, neoprene insulated gloves, and an apron
must be worn while boiling-out a fryer vat. Electrical controls used in the gas fryer operate on 120 volts single phase electrical
power, and no adjustments or replacement of electrical controls should ever be attempted without first disconnecting electrical
power. The fryer should never be operated with wet hands or while standing in water. To do so can result in serious electrical
shock or death.

The Rating Plate is located on the inside of the Service Access door and contains the following information: the model and
serial numbers, BTU/HR input rating of the burners, gas manifold pressure in inches W.C. , minimum inlet gas required, and
gas type. This data is essential for proper identification when communicating with ULTRAFRYER SYSTEMS or requesting
special parts or information.
DANGER:
THE FRYER MUST BE CONNECTED ONLY TO THE TYPE OF GAS IDENTIFICATION
ON THE RATING PLATE !
I. INLET GAS LINE SIZING
The table below is to be utilized to calculate the size (diameter) of the inlet gas line from the building regulator to the fryer
manifold.
2) To determine the inlet gas line diameter for the distance between the fryer and main gas regulator, locate the FT3/HR (M3/HR) of gas required for the fryer and pipe length and read the
pipe diameter on the top row. For example, a 14” PD fryer operating on NATURAL GAS requires 105 FT3/HR (3.0 M3/HR) of gas at the fryer’s inlet gas manifold. If the fryer bank is
located 60 feet from the building gas regulator, a 1” (25mm) diameter gas line MUST be installed between the manifold and regulator.

A. GENERAL:
Safe and satisfactory operation of a Model F-ID 20x17 premix gas fryer depends on its proper installation. Installation must
conform to local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the current National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
(latest edition). In Canada, gas installation shall be in accordance with the current CSA B 149.1 and .2 installation codes and/or
local codes. Each Model F-ID 20x17 premix gas fryer should be installed as follows:
1. Placed beneath a properly designed exhaust hood
2. Installed by a licensed plumber.
3. Connected to the type gas for which the unit was fabricated as shown on the rating plate.
4. Connected to the proper size pressure regulator installed in the gas supply line and adjusted to the proper manifold
pressure.
5. Connected to the main gas supply line with the proper size supply line.
6. Restrained by use of a restraining device to avoid splashing of hot liquid and to assure tension cannot be placed on the
flexible gas line or fittings. CLEARANCES: The appliance must be kept free and clear of all combustibles. The minimum clearance from combustible and non-combustible construction is 6" (152 mm) from the sides, and 6" (152 mm)
from rear. The fryer may be installed on combustible floors.
NOTE: Adequate clearances must be provided for servicing and proper operation.
B. STANDARDS: Installation must be planned in accordance with all applicable state and local codes, taking into account
the following standards:
1. The fryer and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at pressures in excess of 1⁄2 psi (3.45kPa). In Canada, gas installation shall be in accordance with the
current CSA B 149.1 and .2 installation codes and/or local codes.
2. The fryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individ ual manual shut- off valve during an y
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at pressures equal to or less than 1⁄2 psig (3.45kPA).
3. When installed the fryer must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, in
accordance with the current National Electrical code ANSI/NFPA 70 (latest edition). In Canada electrical installation must
be in accordance with the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code and/or local codes.
4. Other applicable nationally recognized inst allation s tandards such as:
a. National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 (latest edition)
American Gas Association
1515 Wilson Blvd.
Arlington, VA 22209
b. NFPA Standards #54, #94 and #221 (latest edition)
National Fire Protection Association
470 Atlantic Avenue
Boston, MA 02110
c. ANSI Z21.69/CSA-6.16 AND ANSI Z21.41/CSA 6.9
5. Exhaust vent hood, when installed must conform to the current NFPA 54-1 and Canadian Standards (latest edition).
NOTE: Local building codes will usually not permit a fryer with its open tank of hot oil to be installed immediately next to an
open flame of any type, whether a broiler or an open burner or range. Check local codes before beginning installation.
C.AIR SUPPLY AND VENTILATION: The area around the appliance must be kept clear of any combustible or flammable
products and avoid any obstruction to the flow of ventilation air as well as for ease of maintenance and service. NOTHING
is to be stored in the interior of the fryer’s cabinet.
1. A means must be provided for any commercial, heavy duty-cooking appliance to exhaust combustion wastes outside of
the building. It is essential that a fryer be set under a powered exhaust vent hood or that an exhaust fan be provided in the
wall above the unit, as exhaust temperatures are in the vicinity of 400˚F (204˚C).
NOTE: Strong exhaust fans in a hood or in the overall air conditioning system can produce slight air drafts in the room, which
can interfere with burner performance and be hard to diagnose. Air movement should be checked during installation and if
burner problems persist, make-up air openings or baffles may have to be provided in the room.
2. Exhaust temperature, in addition to the open tank of hot oil, make the storage of anything on shelving over or behind the
fryer unsafe.
3. Filters and drip troughs should be part of any industrial hood, but consult local codes before constructing and installing
any hood.
4. Provisions must be made for an adequate supply of fresh air and adequate clearance must be maintained for air openings
into the combustion chamber.

priate number of shim plates between leg and caster plates then retighten the caster bolts.
2. If the floor is smooth and level, adjust to the high corner and measure with a spirit level. If the floor is uneven or has a
decided slope, level the unit with metal shims.
NOTE: A caster may not return exactly to the same position after being moved, which may require re-leveling after each move.
3. Connect the gas manifold to the building gas supply line by means of a CSA Group APPROVED flexible gas line as
shown in the figure below.
NOTE: CONNECT-IT Inc. 3⁄4" (19mm), 1" (25mm) and 1 1⁄4" (32mm) flexible gas hose 4 feet long (1219mm) with a quick
disconnect coupling on one end is available from Ultrafryer Systems under PN 24322 (3⁄4" (19mm) hose), PN 24323
(1" (25mm) hose) and PN 24456 (1 1⁄4" (32mm) hose). These hoses are equipped with a fusible link, which melts at
361°F (183ºC) that will SHUT OFF the gas supply when it melts. Reference Installation Instructions sheet provided
with hose for additional information. A 44" (1119mm) long restraining device is also available under PN 24324. Install

D. GAS CONNECTION: The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the appliance.
THE GAS SUPPLY LINES MUST BE SIZED TO ACCOMMODATE ALL THE GAS FIRED EQUIPMENT
THAT MAY BE CONNECTED TO THAT SUPPLY. Refer to the Inlet Gas Line Sizing Table and inlet gas require-
ments.
NOTE: Sealant used on all pipe joints must be resistive to natural and propane gas.
1. Manual shut off valve: This supplier-installed valve must be installed in the gas service line ahead of the appliance and in
a position where it can be reached quickly in the event of an emergency.
2. Pressure regulator: All commercial cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for
safe and efficient operation, because service pressure may fluctuate with local demand. External regulators are not required on this fryer, as that function is performed by a combination gas control valve, however if the incoming pressure is
in excess of 1⁄2 psig, a step-down regulator will be required.
3. Natural gas: Natural gas fryers require 7” (178mm) water column (W.C.) “inlet” pressure to the fryer’s combination gas
control valve for proper operation, when all gas units are operating simultaneously. Propane gas fryers require
14" (356 mm) water column (W.C.) “inlet” pressure to the fryer’s combination gas control valve for proper operation,
when all gas units are operating simultaneously. This “inlet” pressure MUST be checked with a manometer PRIOR to
WARNING: IF THE “INLET” GAS PRESSURE AT THE FRYER’S COMBINATION GAS CONTROL VALVE

placing the fryer in operation.
4. Combination gas control valve: The correct combination gas control valve and orifice is installed at the factory for
NATURAL and PROPANE units based on each Purchase Order. This valve should be CHECKED/ADJUSTED by
qualified service personnel using proper test equipment for the following “OUTLET” gas pressure PRIOR to start-up of
a fryer. NATURAL GAS FRYERS 7" (178mm) W.C. PROPANE FRYERS 14" (356mm) W.C.
5. Rigid connections: Check any installer-supplied intake pipe(s) visually and/or blow them out with compressed air to clear
dirt particles, threading chips or any other foreign matter before connecting to the service line as these particles may clog
the orifice when gas pressure is applied. All connections must be tested with a soapy solution before lighting the fryer.
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS! Putting an open flame beside a new connection is not
only dangerous, but will often miss small leaks that a soapy solution would find.
6. Flexible Couplings and Connectors: The installation is to be made with a connector that (1) complies with the Standard
for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 (CSA 6.16), and a quick-disconnect device that complies
with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 (CSA 6.9) (2) adequate means
must be provided to limit the movement of the appliance without depending on the connector and the quick dis- connect
device or its associated piping to limit the appliance movement and (3) the location(s) where the restraining means may
be attached to the appliance shall be specified. DOMESTIC CONNECTORS ARE NOT SUITABLE!!!
7. Fryer Service: The fryer is equipped with swivel casters. To service th e fr yer:
a) Remove / unplug power supply from fryer
b) Turn “OFF” gas supply at the supply source.
b) Disconnect the flexible gas line quick-disconnect
c) Disconnect restraint means and roll fryer out for rear service access.
d) When the fryer is re-positioned, be sure to reconnect the restraint and level the fryer.

heated to its SETPOINT temperature, “HEATING” will appear in the display to indicate the shortening temperature is
MORE than 20˚F (-6.6˚C) BELOW the set point temperature. When shortening temperature rises to the SETPOINT temperature, “READY” will appear in the display indicating a COOK CYCLE can be started.
STARTING A COOK CYCLE
To start a cook cycle simply press the product key for the product you wish to cook. Cooking time will be displayed
“3:00” (example) and this time will immediately start to count down in minutes and seconds. It will count down to “ :00”
followed by a beeping signal. To turn this signal OFF and reset the Computer, press the same product key used to start the
COOK CYCLE.
CANCELLING A COOK CYCLE
If a cook cycle was inadvertently started it may be cancelled two (2) ways:
1) Press and hold the same product key used to start the cook cycle for 4 SECONDS. This prevents an accidental start of a
cook cycle while a product is being cooked.
2) A cook cycle can be CANCELLED at any time by turning the fryer ON/OFF Switch to the OFF position.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Minimal maintenance is required on the fryer because of its design and materials used in the manufacturing process.
However some preventive maintenance and inspection must be performed periodically to prevent breakdowns which could
curtail food sales. Any preventive maintenance or inspection should be accomplished with CAUTION while the fryer is in
operation since HOT liquid shortening could cause severe burns. If service or repairs are required, all electrical power and gas
MUST BE TURNED OFF PRIOR TO preforming that service or repair.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

GENERAL CLEANING
Any item of equipment operates and lasts longer when kept clean and properly maintained, and the Ultrafryer is no exception.
In order for this fryer to provide years of trouble-free service, it must be CLEANED and MAINTAINED according to the
instructions listed below.
DAILY
1) Clean the fryer surfaces periodically during operating hours with a solution of sanitizer and hot water, and at closing with
stainless steel cleaner. If necessary, use a dampened type 7447 RED or 7440 BROWN (heavy duty) Scotch brite pad to
remove encrusted material. DO NOT use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleaners, powders, metal knife, spatula or any metal
object to scrape stainless steel! Scratches on stainless steel are almost impossible to remove.
2) Filter the shortening in each fryer once a day or according to Company Policy.
CAUTION:
DO NOT ALLOW ANY CLEANING SOLUTION / WATER TO SPLASH INTO THE VESSEL OF HOT COOKING
OIL AS IT WILL CONTAMINATE THE OIL AND MAY CAUSE THE OIL TO SPLATTER, CAUSING SEVERE
BURNS
WEEKLY
1) BOIL-OUT the fryer vat using Boil Out Compound according to procedures in the cleaning manual provided by the
chemical provider.
2) Perform steps 1 and 2 listed above under the Daily Cleaning.

SERVICE PROCEDURES AND ADJUSTMENTS
37
30A268 May 2016 Rev A
Page 38
HARMONIC TONE
Harmonic Tone (hum) at First Start, fryer will begin heating in low fire and a few seconds later go to high fire. There will be a
harmonic tone that is NORMAL to hear. As fryer continues to heat, harmonic tone will dissipate and become less noticeable.
GAS VALVE
WARNING:
DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE FRYER.
WARNING:
SHUT OFF THE GAS BEFORE SERVICING THE FRYER.
WARNING:
ALL GAS JOINTS DISTURBED DURING SERVICING MUST BE CHECKED FOR LEAKS.
CHECK WITH A SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION (BUBBLES).
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME
The gas valve is considered part of the Blower Premix 5.0 Power Burner and Gas Valve assembly. If the gas valve fails and
needs to be replaced, you must order a complete blower / gas valve assembly (burner). The reason for this is every blower / gas
valve assembly (burner) is set up at the factory to operate at the most efficient level possible. This set up procedure can not be
duplicated inn the field.
MODULATING GAS VALVE ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING:
DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE FRYER.
WARNING:
SHUT OFF THE GAS BEFORE SERVICING THE FRYER.
WARNING:
ALL GAS JOINTS DISTURBED DURING SERVICING MUST BE CHECKED FOR LEAKS.
CHECK WITH A SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION (BUBBLES).
DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME
The modulating gas valve is adjustable at the factory and requires no adjustments. If the modulating gas valve needs to be
replaced, the new gas valve from the factory will be adjusted properly and will only need to have the gas pressure verified
coming into the gas valve.
