J1C, J1X, & J2X MASTER JET SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2.1 General Installation Requirements (cont.)
CLEARANCE AND VENTILATION
DANGER
No structural material on the fryer should be altered or removed to accommodate placement of the fryer under a hood. Questions? Call the Frymaster/Dean Service
Hotline at 1-800-551-8633.
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 in which it is installed.
The fryer(s) must be installed with a 6" (150 mm) clearance at both sides and back when installed adjacent to combustible construction; no clearance is required when installed adjacent to noncombustible construction. A minimum of 24" (600 mm) clearance should be provided at the front of the fryer.
An important consideration of efficient fryer operation is ventilation. Ensure the fryer is installed so flue gas is removed efficiently and the kitchen ventilation system does not produce drafts that interfere with proper burner operation.
The fryer flue opening must not be placed close to the intake of the exhaust fan, and the fryer must never have its flue extended in a "chimney" fashion. An extended flue changes the combustion characteristics of the fryer, causing longer recovery time. It also frequently causes delayed ignition.
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.
Fryers 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 degrees. 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 when the appliance consumes more than 120,000 BTU per hour .
Information on construction and installation of ventilating hoods can be found in the NFPA standard cited above. A copy of the standard may be obtained from the National Fire Protection Association,
Battery March Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

NATIONAL CODE REQUIREMENTS
The type of gas for which the fryer is equipped is stamped on the data plate attached to the inside of the fryer door. Connect a fryer stamped "NAT" only to natural gas , those stamped "PRO" only to propane gas , and those stamped "MFG" only to manufactured gas .
Installation shall be made with a gas connector that complies with national and local codes. Quick-
Disconnect devices, if used, shall likewise comply with national and local codes.
2.2 Leg Installation
DANGER
DO NOT install this appliance without legs.
Depending upon the specific configuration ordered, the fryer might have been shipped without installed legs. If legs are installed, you may skip this section and proceed to Section 2.3, Pre-
Connection Preparations.
If your fryer requires the installation of legs, install them in accordance with the instructions included in your accessory package.
2.3 Pre-Connection Preparations
DANGER
Do not connect this appliance to the gas supply before completing each step in this section.
DANGER
Do not attach an apron drain board to a single fryer. The fryer may become unstable, tip over, and cause injury. The appliance area must be kept free and clear of combustible materials at all times.
After the fryer has been positioned under the fry station exhaust hood, ensure the following has been accomplished:
1.
Level fryers equipped with legs by screwing out the legs approximately 1 inch, and then adjust them so that the fryer is level and at the proper height in the exhaust hood. Frymaster recommends that the minimum distance from the flue outlet to the bottom edge of the filter be 24 inches (600 mm) when the appliance consumes more than 120,000 BTU per hour.

DANGER
When pressure-testing incoming gas supply lines, disconnect the fryer from the gas line if the test pressure will be ½ PSIG (3.45 kPa, 13.84 inches W.C.) or greater to avoid damage to the fryer’s gas tubes and gas valve(s).
2-4
J1C, J1X, & J2X MASTER JET SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The size of the gas line used for installation is very important. If the line is too small, the gas pressure at the burner manifold will be low. This may cause slow recovery and delayed ignition. The incoming gas supply line should be a minimum of ½" (13 mm) in diameter. Refer to the chart below for the minimum sizes of connection piping.

CHAPTER 3: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MELT CYCLE
CAUTION
If this is the first time the fryer is being used after installation, refer to Section 3.2,
Boiling-Out the Frypot.
Complete the following steps:
1.
Make sure the fryer gas valve is in the OFF or PILOT position.
2.
Close the frypot drain valve. Remove the basket support rack, if required.
3.
Fill the frypot to the OIL-LEVEL line. When solid shortening is used, make sure it is packed down into the frypot cold zone.
4.
To melt solid shortening without scorching, alternately turn the burner ON for 3 seconds and
OFF for about 10 seconds until the shortening is melted. If smoke is seen during this process, the shortening is being heated too quickly and scorching. This step is not necessary if using liquid oil.
CAUTION
Thermostat-controlled fryers equipped with Melt Cycle switches will stay in the Melt
Cycle mode until the Melt Cycle switch is placed in the OFF position.
3.2 Boiling-Out the Frypot
To ensure that the frypot is free of any contamination resulting from its manufacture, shipping, and handling during installation, the frypot must be boiled out before first use. Frymaster recommends boiling out the frypot each time the oil or shortening is changed.
DANGER
Never leave the fryer unattended during the boil-out process. If the boil-out solution boils over, turn the fryer off immediately and let the solution cool for a few minutes before resuming the process. To lessen the chance of boil over, turn the fryer’s gas valve knob to the PILOT position occasionally.
1.
Before lighting the burner, close the fryer drain valve(s) and fill the frypot to the bottom OIL-
LEVEL line with a mixture of cold water and automatic dishwashing detergent.
2.
Set the thermostat to the lowest setting. Turn the fryer on as described in Section 3.1 (Lighting the Pilot). Allow the solution to come to a boil, and then turn the gas valve knob to PILOT.
Allow the solution to set for 30 minutes. Turn the gas valve knob to ON and allow the solution to come to a boil. Turn gas valve knob to PILOT and allow solution to set for 30 minutes.

CHAPTER 4: FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
4. Filtration
WARNING
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.
DANGER
Draining and filtering of cooking oil or shortening must be accomplished with care to avoid the possibility of a serious burn caused by careless handling. The oil to be filtered is at or near 350°F (177°C). Ensure all hoses are connected properly and drain handles are in their proper position before operating any switches or valves.
Wear all appropriate safety equipment when draining and filtering cooking oil or shortening.
DANGER
NEVER attempt to drain cooking oil or shortening from the fryer with the burner lit!
Doing so will result in a flash fire if the oil or shortening splashes onto the burner.
Applying burner heat to an empty frypot will severely damage the frypot and void warranties.
DANGER
Allow oil or shortening to cool to 100°F (38°C) or lower before draining to an appropriate container for disposal.
DANGER
When draining oil/shortening into a disposal unit or portable filter unit, do not fill above the maximum fill line located on the container.
The cooking oil or shortening must be drained into another suitable container. For safe, convenient draining and disposal of used cooking oil or shortening, Frymaster L.L.C. recommends the use of the
Frymaster shortening disposal unit (SDU). The SDU is available through your local distributor.
1.
Turn the fryer gas valve knob to PILOT. Screw the drainpipe (provided with your fryer) into the drain valve. Make sure the drainpipe is firmly screwed into the drain valve and that the opening of the curved end is pointing down.
4-1
J1C, J1X, & J2X MASTER JET SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 4: FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS
4. Filtration (cont.)
2.
Position a metal container with a sealable cover under the drainpipe. The metal container must be able to withstand the heat of the cooking oil or shortening, and hold hot liquids. If you intend to reuse the oil or shortening, use a Frymaster filter cone holder and filter cone when a filter machine is not available. If you are using a Frymaster filter cone holder, be sure that the cone holder rests securely on the metal container.
3.
Open the drain valve slowly to avoid splattering. If the drain valve becomes clogged with food particles, use the Fryer’s Friend (poker-like tool) to clear the blockage.
DANGER
DO NOT insert anything into the drain from the front to unclog the valve. Hot oil/shortening will rush out, creating an extreme hazard.
WARNING
DO NOT hammer on the drain valve with the Fryer’s Friend. This will damage the drain valve ball and prevent the valve from sealing securely, resulting in a leaky valve.
4.
After draining the oil or shortening, clean all food particles and residual oil or shortening from the frypot. Use caution as frypot residue can cause severe burns if it contacts bare skin.
5.
Close the drain valve securely and fill the frypot with clean, filtered or fresh cooking oil or solid shortening to the bottom OIL-LEVEL line.
DANGER
When using solid shortening, pack it down into the cool-zone and the bottom of the frypot. DO NOT operate the fryer with a block of shortening sitting in the upper portion of the frypot. Irreparable damage to the frypot and a potential flash fire will result.

7.
To change the high-limit thermostat, disconnect the wires at the gas valve and follow instructions listed in Steps 5 and 6 to replace thermostat.
8.
To calibrate the newly installed thermostat, see Section 5.1.
7.2 Calibrating a Thermostat after Installation
1.
Fill the frypot to the OIL-LEVEL LINE with shortening.
Pre-melt solid shortening before starting calibration.
2.
3.
Ensure the gas valve knob is in the OFF position.
Insert a mercury thermometer or pyrometer in the center of the frypot 2 to 3 inches (50 to 75mm) deep.
4.
Turn the fryer gas valve to the ON position.
5.
NOTE: If the burner does not light at this time, it does not mean the thermostat is defective. Recheck the wiring, and then slowly turn the thermostat adjusting screw counterclockwise until the burner lights.
Turning the adjusting screw counterclockwise causes the burner to light, and turning it clockwise causes the burner to shut off.
When the shortening temperature reaches 325°F (162°C), turn the thermostat adjusting screw clockwise until the burner shuts off.
6.
Allow the fryer to sit for a few minutes, and then slowly turn the thermostat adjusting screw counterclockwise until the burner lights.
7.
Repeat Steps 5 and 6 until 325°F (162°C) is reached. A good calibration point is halfway between the lowest and highest temperature dial readings. This point should be at the 12 o'clock position. The fryer is in calibration if the burner lights at the calibration point as the shortening temperature drops - not when the burner shuts off as the temperature rises.
7-2
