INSTALLATION (continued)

WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

All servicing requiring access to non-insulated electrical components must be performed by a factory authorized technician. DO NOT open any access panel which requires the use of tools. Failure to follow this warning can result in severe electrical shock.

FRYER ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Countertop autolift fryers must be connected directly to a suitable electric circuit. Conduit and strain relief must be provided by the electrician. Refer to nameplate for voltage and amperage requirements. Single phase fryers require a 208VAC or 240VAC 1ø circuit with gound. Three phase fryers require a 208VAC or 240VAC 3ø ciruit with ground.

Raise the element head, remove the frypot and the cover at the rear of the fryer to gain access to the terminal block. The electrical inlet is provided by a knock-out in the rear panel.

If an equipment shutdown interface is required by local fire code, the flame sensor terminal block may be accessed by removing the back panel. Replace the jumper of the terminal block with wiring to a normally closed contact of the building fire management system. DO NOT connect power to the flame sensor terminal block. Wiring and contacts must be capable of handling 30 amps.

F-68 and F-88 FRYERS ARE SHIPPED FROM THE FACTORY WIRED FOR 3ø. Conversion to single phase is the responsibility of the electrician.

CAUTION:

RISK OF DAMAGE

CAUTION:

HOT SURFACE

NORMAL OPERATION

1. a. Be sure TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB is turned to OFF. b. Lower ELEMENT HEAD into frypot by pulling back on ELEMENT LIFTING HANDLE, raising ELEMENT HEAD SUPPORT ROD, then carefully lowering elements into frypot.

2. Fill FRYPOT with commercial-grade liquid shortening to MIN OIL line. Capacity is 15 pounds (F-58), or 30 pounds (F-68 and F-88).

IMPORTANT: DO NOT overfill frypot. Cold oil will expand as it heats. Adding too much oil will allow frypot to overflow during operation. For best results, always use top grade commercial shortening made specially for frying. Maintain proper oil level in frypot during operation.

3. Turn TEMPERATURE CONTROL KNOB to desired temperature. Press HEATER switch to ON position. HEAT INDICATOR will glow. When oil reaches the desired temperature, heat indicator will go out. Heat indicator will go off and on during operation as thermostat cycles to maintain temperature. For best results: DO NOT set temperature control to a temperature setting higher than is required for the food product.

4. Load either or both baskets no more than 1/2 full with food product. DO NOT overload fry baskets. For best results, load baskets uniformly to half full. Hang the basket on the BASKET LIFT.

5. Set TIMER DIAL to the desired cooking time. Press the red button on the timer to lower the basket into the hot oil. When food is cooked, basket will be lifted out of the oil. Handle the hot basket only by the basket handle.

5. When heat indicator light cycles off, fryer is ready to cook next load.

6. Reduce temperature control to 225ºF during idle periods to save power and extend life of the oil. Fryer will return to operating temperature in just a few minutes when needed.

IMPORTANT: Press POWER switch to OFF when raising element head to avoid injury or damage.

7. Keep fryer clean at all times. Rinse baskets frequently, and dry thoroughly, in order to prevent oil contamination.

8. Drain the frypot completely after use. Filter the oil daily, or more often during heavy use.

NOTE: If the oil temperature exceeds 440ºF, the hi-limit safety will shut down the unit, and light the red TROUBLE light. To reset: Allow the oil to cool, then press the red button on the back of the element head until it “clicks” and stays in. If tripping persists, see Troubleshooting Suggestions, page 9.
