INSTALLATION

Before installing the fryer, verify that the type of gas (natural or propane) agrees with the specifications on the fryer naming plate which is located at the rear part of the unit. Make sure the fryer is configured for the proper elevation.
Record your fryer model, device, and serial numbers for future reference in the space provided below. This information can be found on the fryer data plate.
Model No: ……………………….
Device:…………………………
Serial No:…………………………

Clearances
☆ Minimum clearance from combustible construction: 6” (15 cm) from the sides of the fryer 6” (15 cm) from the back of the fryer The fryer may be installed on combustible floors
☆ Minimum clearance from noncombustible construction: 0” from the sides of the fryer 0” from the back of the fryer
☆ Between the fryer and any open-top flame units: 16” (41 cm)

Location
☆ Install fryer in an area with sufficient air supply for gas combustion at fryer burners.
☆ Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
☆ Provide adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber.
☆ Do not permit fans to blow directly onto fryer.
☆ Avoid wall-type fans, which create cross-currents within a room. Avoid open windows next to sides or back.

ASSEMBLY

The fryer must be restrained to prevent tipping and the splashing of hot liquid. The means of restraint may be the manner of installation, such as connection to a battery of appliances, installing the fryer in an alcove, or by separate means such as adequate ties.

FLUE CONNECTION

Make the flue connection as follows:
☆ Locate the fryer under a hood with adequate connection to an exhaust duct. The hood must extend 6” (15 cm) beyond fryer on both sides.
☆ Clearance above the fryer should be adequate for combustion by-products to be removed efficiently.
☆ An 18” (46 cm) minimum clearance should be maintained between the flue vent and the filters of the hood venting system.
☆ Never make flue connections directly to the fryer.
☆ Do not obstruct the flow of the gases from the appliance. Proper air balance should be maintained in the room.

GAS CONNECTION

All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of propane gases.
The gas inlet is located on the lower rear of the fryer. Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the fryer.
A 3/4″ male BSP line for the gas connection is located near the lower right rear corner of the fryer. The serial plate (located inside the front door of the fryer) indicates the type of gas the unit is equipped to burn (natural gas or propane). The fryer should be connected ONLY to the type of gas for which it is equipped.
An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the volume of gas necessary for satisfactory performance. A combination gas valve and pressure regulator, which is provided with each unit, is set to maintain a 2.0kPa/2.5 kPa manifold pressure for natural gas or 2.9kPa/3.7kpa/5.0kpa manifold pressure for propane gas. Fluctuations of more than 25% on natural gas or10% on propane gas will create problems and affect burner operating characteristics.
The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of ½” (12.7 mm) iron pipe for single units and 1-1/4” (31.75 mm) for batteries. If using the optional quick-disconnect flex hose, ¾” (19 mm) iron pipe for single units and 1-1/4” (31.75 cm) iron pipe for batteries.
Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound. A battery requires one or two connections of appropriate size for the gas requirement.
Any flexible hose or tubing which may used for supplying gas can not exceed 1.5m.

Prior to lighting, check all joints in the gas supply line for leaks. Use soap and water solution.
Do not use an open flame.
After piping has been checked for leaks, fully purge gas pipes to remove air.

GAS PRESSURES (ALL MODELS):
The available gas pressure should be the same as that indicated on naming plate. If incoming pressure exceeds 5 kPa, an additional pressure regulator must be installed.
Remove the pressure gauge after the detection; then tighten the sealing screw;

TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM:
When test pressures exceed 5 kPa, the fryer and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
The gas supply tubing or hose shall comply with the national requirements in force and shall be periodically and replaced as necessary.

LEVELING THE FRYER
Check the level of the fryer by placing a level on top of the fryer after gas connections have been made. Ensure that the fryer is level front-to-back and side-to-side in the final installed position. If using casters, lock the wheels after unit is level.

OPERATION

Hot oil and parts can cause burns. Use care when operating, cleaning and servicing the fryer.
Spilling hot frying compound can cause severe burns. Do not move fryer without draining all frying compound from the tank.

OVER-TEMPERATURE SHUTDOWN
If the shortening becomes overheated, a high-temperature shutoff device will turn the gas valve off and extinguish the pilot.
If the fryer shuts down due to overheating, DO NOT re-light the pilot until the shortening temperature is below 149 ℃(300 ℉)
If an overheating situation persists, contact qualified technician for help.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Cleaning
New units are wiped down at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, grease, etc. remaining from the manufacturing process.
Before any food preparation, thoroughly wipe protective oil from all surface parts and the tank interior with hot soapy water to remove any film residue and dust or debris.
Do not use chlorine or sulfate/sulfide cleaners.
☆ Wash any accessories shipped with unit.
☆ Rinse fryer and accessories thoroughly and drain the fryer. Š Wipe tank completely dry with a soft, clean cloth.

FILLING TANK WITH SHORTENING
Solid shortening should NOT be used with this type of fryer. Melting solid shortening will damage the tank.
☆ Close the drain valve.
☆ Fill the fryer tank with liquid shortening.
Shortening level should be between the min and max lines in the fryer tank.
☆ The fryer is marked with maximum and minimum levels, please fill in oil between two levels for completely safety of operation.
☆ Shortening will expand when heated.  Do not ill the fryer tank past the
☆ MAX line.
☆ Add fresh shortening as needed to maintain oil level.

LIGHTING THE PILOT & TURNING ON THE FRYER 

Rotate the knob, make sure the mark●on the knob pointing to position 0. Press button .

Then press the impulse ignition device at the same time. (picture 3) (It may take several times to ignite the flame, because there will be air in the pipe, only after air comes out then gas flow in and ignition can work.)

When the pilot flame is ignited, continuously press button , until the pilot flame is stable,  then release your hand from the knob. 6G Set the desired temperature according to the material and amount of food. It has 7 options for you to choose the temperature.

TURNING OFF THE FRYER

• 1. Switch off the knob.
• Shut off the gas valve.

BASIC FRYING INSTRUCTION

Set the desired temperature and allow shortening to heat up to that temperature.
Fry items that are about the same size together to ensure equal doneness.
Drain or wipe dry raw or wet foods to minimize splatter when lowering into hot shortening.
Add fresh shortening as needed.
Fry Basket Guidelines
Do not overfill baskets. Carefully lower basket into oil.
When frying doughnuts and fritters, turn product only once during frying.
When cooking French fries or onion rings, shake the basket several times in a way that does not splatter the shortening.
Batter-covered foods should be dropped carefully, one by one, into shortening or basket. If you use the basket, first dip the basket into the shortening to reduce batter-build up on basket surfaces.
When frying is completed, remove basket or product. Hang basket on rear hanger.

EXTENDING SHORTENING LIFE
Shortening life can be extended by the following guidelines:
☆ Do not salt foods over the fryer.
☆ Use good-quality shortening.
☆ Filter shortening daily (at a minimum).
☆ Replace shortening if it becomes poorly flavored.
☆ Keep equipment and surrounding clean.
☆ Set thermostat correctly.
☆ Remove excess moisture and particles from food products before placing on fryer.

DRAINING THE TANK

1. Turn the thermostat to OFF.
2. To keep the pilot lit, turn the gas valve to PILOT.
3. Direct the drain spout into the container that you want to drain the shortening into.
4. Open the drain valve. The oil will drain into the container. When the container is full or the fryer tank is empty, close the drain valve. Repeat this step until the fryer is empty.
5. If desired, perform the weekly clean-out as described under CLEANING.
6. Once tank is completely empty, add new shortening and set thermostat to desired temperature.

DAILY FILTERING
Hot oil and hot parts can cause burns. Use care when operating, cleaning, and servicing the fryer.
☆ Filter shortening at least once a day. Refer to the instructions provided with your filtering equipment.
☆ A cold fryer will not drain properly. Always filter shortening between 250F and 350F. The shortening in the cold zone area will remain hard if the heat is only on for a few minutes. If necessary, use the clean-out rod to carefully stir the hard shortening to an area above the cold zone where it will melt. Use the tank brush to help clear sides and tubes of debris.

CLEANING

Hot oil and hot parts can cause burns. Use care when operating, cleaning, and servicing the fryer Daily Clean your fryer regularly with the tank brush along with a damp cloth, and polish with a soft dry cloth. If regular cleaning is neglected, grease will be burned  on and discolorations may form.
Fingerprints are sometimes a problem on highly polished surfaces of stainless steel. They can be minimized by applying a cleaner that will leave a thin oily or waxy film.
☆ Clean all exterior surfaces of your fryer at least once daily.
☆ Use a damp cloth with warm water and a mild soap or detergent.

Do not use chlorine or sulfate/sulfide cleaners.
☆ Rinse thoroughly, and then polish with a soft dry cloth.
☆ Keep the fryer exterior clean and free of accumulated grease to prevent stubborn stains from forming. If regular cleaning is neglected, grease will be burned on and discolorations may form.
☆ Remove discolorations by washing with any detergent or soap and water.
☆ Use a self-soaping, non-metallic scouring pad for particularly stubborn discolorations.
☆ Always rub with the grain of the stainless steel. Š Do not use a metallic scoring pad or harsh cleaners.

BOIL OUT PROCEDURE
