CHAPTER 1: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Before attempting to operate your unit, read the instructions in this manual thoroughly. Throughout this manual you will find notations enclosed in double-bordered boxes with the symbol . The information contained in the box concerns actions or conditions that may cause or result in injury to personnel or damage to your system, and/or cause your system to malfunction.

1.2 General Installation Instructions

DANGER

Building codes prohibit a fryer with its open frypot of hot oil being installed beside an open flame of any type, including those of broilers and ranges.

DANGER

This appliance must be installed with sufficient ventilation to prevent the occurrence of unacceptable concentrations of substances harmful to the health of personnel in the room where it is installed.

DANGER

No structural material on the fryer should be altered or removed to accommodate placement of the fryer under a hood.

DANGER

Single fryers must be restrained to prevent tipping when installed in order to avoid the splashing of hot liquid. The means of restraint may be the manner of installation, such as connection to battery of appliances or installing the fryer in an alcove, or by separate means, such as straps or chains.

DANGER

Do not attach an apron drainboard to a single unit. The appliance may become unstable, tip over, and cause injury. The appliance area must be free and clear of combustible material at all times.

NOTICE

This appliance is only for professional use and shall be used by qualified personnel only.

CLEARANCE AND VENTILATION

This fryer must be installed with a 6-inch (150-mm) clearance at both sides and back when installed adjacent to combustible construction. No clearance is required when installed adjacent to non-combustible construction. A minimum of 24-inches (600-mm) clearance should be provided at the front of the fryer.

The fryer flue opening must not be placed close to the intake of an exhaust fan, and the fryer must never have its flue extended in a "chimney" fashion. An extended flue will change the combustion characteristics of the fryer. To provide the airflow necessary for good combustion and burner operation, the areas surrounding the fryer front, sides, and rear must be kept clear and unobstructed.

The fryer must be installed in an area with an adequate air supply and adequate ventilation. Adequate distances must be maintained from the flue outlet of the fryer to the lower edge of the ventilation filter bank. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45°. Place a drip tray beneath the lowest edge of the filter. For U.S. installation, NFPA standard No. 96 states, "A minimum distance of 18-inches (450-mm) should be maintained between the flue outlet and the lower edge of the grease filter". Frymaster recommends that the minimum distance be 24-inches (600-mm) from the flue outlet to the

bottom edge of the filter.

CHAPTER 1: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INSTALLATION

NOTE: Unless special ordered, this fryer is designed for operation at altitudes of 2000 feet (610 meters) and below.

The unit must be modified for operation above 2000 feet (610 meters).

For units equipped with legs: Lift the unit and move it into its final position. Do not drag or push the fryer into position.

Doing so may damage the legs. Level the unit front to back and side to side. If the fryer is not level, the unit will not function efficiently. ESG Series gas fryers cannot be curb mounted and must be equipped with either legs or casters provided.

A. Adjust leg height with an adjustable or 1-1/16-inch (27-mm) open-end wrench by turning the hexagon-shaped foot on the bottom of the leg. NOTE: The foot is for minor leg height adjustment only. Do not adjust outward more

than ¾-inch (19-mm).

B. When leveling the unit, the leg body should be held firmly to keep the leg from bending or rotating while turning the foot to the required height.

For units equipped with casters: Roll the unit into its final position and lock the front casters.

1.3 Pre-Connection Preparation

WARNING

If the incoming gas pressure is in excess of ½" PSI (3.45 kPa/35 mbar), a step-down regulator will be required.

NATIONAL CODE REQUIREMENTS:

This equipment is to be installed in compliance with the Basic Plumbing Code of the Building Officials and Code

Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA) and the Food Service Sanitation Manual of the U.S. Food and Drug

Administration.

DANGER

Before connecting new pipe to this appliance, the pipe must be blown out thoroughly to remove all foreign material. Foreign material in the burner and gas valve will cause improper and potentially dangerous operation.

DANGER

All connections must be sealed with a joint compound suitable for the gas being used and all connections must be tested for leaks using a solution of soapy water before lighting any pilots. Never use matches, candles, or any other ignition source to check for leaks. If gas odors are detected, shut off the gas supply to the appliance at the main shut-off valve and immediately contact the local gas company or an authorized service agency for service.

Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of fryers without depending upon the gas line connections. If a flexible gas hose is used, a restraining cable must be connected at all times when the fryer is in use. NOTE: The

installation must be inspected after it is complete to ensure it meets the intent of these instructions. The on-site supervisor and/or operator(s) should be informed that the appliance is installed with restraints. If restraints are removed to move fryer (cleaning beneath and behind, relocation, etc.), ensure that they are re-installed when fryer is returned to its permanently installed position.

1.5 Gas Conversion Procedures

DANGER

This appliance was configured at the factory for a specific type of gas. Converting from one gas type to another requires the installation of specific gas-conversion components.

Switching to a different type of gas without installing the proper conversion components may result in fire or explosion. NEVER ATTACH THIS APPLIANCE TO A GAS SUPPLY FOR WHICH IT IS NOT CONFIGURED!

Conversion of this appliance from one type of gas to another should only be performed by qualified, licensed, and authorized installation or service personnel, as defined in Section 1.5 of this manual.

See gas valve illustration below and gas valve, burner and orifice location on page 1-5 when performing the following conversions.

When converting from natural gas to propane (or vice-versa), the following procedures apply:

 Burner orifices and pilot orifice MUST be replaced (see page 1-5 for kit part numbers).

 Adjust orifice gas pressure by turning the gas-valve adjustment screw (see page 1-2 for gas types and pressures).

 After adjustment, replace the adjustment-screw cover.

 Affix the new label included with the conversion kit next the existing rating plate stating that the gas type has been converted. Remove any references to the previously used gas from the existing rating plate.

Conversion from one gas family to another (i.e. changing from natural gas to propane) requires special components.

Obtain the necessary components using the table on page 1-6.

Conversions can only be executed by qualified, factory-authorized personnel.

2.1.2 Pilot Lighting Procedures

NOTE: This fryer was tested, adjusted and calibrated to sea level conditions before leaving the factory. Adjustments may be necessary to meet local conditions, and are to be performed only by qualified service personnel. Adjustments are the responsibilities of the customer or dealer and are not covered by Frymaster warranty.

The pilot is located high in the cabinet center, at the base of the frypot. Use a long match to light the pilot. Perform the following steps in sequence before lighting the pilot:

1. Turn off the manual shut-off valve on the incoming gas supply line.

2. Turn the operating thermostat to the OFF position.

3. Depress and turn the gas valve knob to the OFF position.

4. Wait at least 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to disperse.

5. Fill the frypot with oil, shortening or water to the bottom OIL LEVEL line scribed on the frypot back. Ensure heating tubes are covered in liquid prior to engaging burners.

NOTE: If solid shortening is used, pack the shortening into the frypot, ensuring the shortening is packed beneath, between and above the tubes prior to operating fryer.

6. Open the manual shut-off valve on the incoming gas supply line and rotate the gas valve knob to the PILOT position.

7. Push and hold the knob in and apply a lighted match to the pilot burner head. Continue to hold the knob in for about

60 seconds after the flame appears on the pilot. Release the knob. The pilot should remain lit.

DANGER

If the pilot fails to remain lit, turn the gas valve "OFF" and wait 5 minutes before attempting to re-light.

CHAPTER 2: OPERATION

2.1.3 Lighting the Burners

WARNING

NEVER set a complete block of solid shortening on top of the heating tubes. To do so will damage the heating tubes and frypot, and void the warranty.

1. Ensure the frypot is filled with oil or shortening to the lower of the two oil level lines embossed on the back wall of the frypot. NOTE: If solid shortening is used, pack the shortening into the frypot, ensuring the shortening is packed beneath, between and above the tubes prior to operating fryer.

DANGER

"Dry-firing" the fryer will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire. Always ensure that shortening, cooking oil or water covers the burner tubes before lighting the burners.

2. With the pilot lit, push down and slowly turn the gas valve knob to the ON position.

3. Rotate the operating thermostat knob to the desired frying temperature. The burner should light and burn with a strong blue flame.

DANGER

If the pilot and burners go out, the fryer must be completely shut down at least five minutes before relighting.

2.2 Shutting the Fryer Down

For temporary shutdown, turn the operating thermostat to the OFF position and cover the frypot. Ensure oil is kept in the frypot if the pilot is lit.

For complete shutdown, turn the operating thermostat to the OFF position, turn the gas valve knob to the OFF position and cover the frypot.

2.3 Daily Operation

1. Do not allow grease to accumulate or harden on the frame, body, or flue of the fryer. Clean the fryer inside and out with a solution of detergent and hot water daily.

2. Filter the cooking oil by draining the frypot through a filter cone at least daily. After the oil has been drained from the frypot, remove any residue from the pot, using a non-abrasive scraper if necessary.

3. Clean the frypot at least once each week by filling it to just below the upper oil level mark with water. Add one cup of detergent and bring the solution to a boil. Allow the solution to simmer for 10-15 minutes, then drain and rinse the frypot with clean water twice. Add ¼ cup of white vinegar to the last rinse to neutralize alkalinity remaining from the detergent. Wipe the frypot surfaces with a dry towel before refilling with cooking oil. If the fryer is not to be used immediately after cleaning, wipe the frypot interior with a light coat of cooking oil to prevent rust.
