IMPORTANT: Damage due to being connected to the wrong voltage or phase is NOT covered by warranty.

DANGER FIRE HAZARD
Fire suppression system must be charged and certified by an authorized Ansul® distributor.
DO NOT attempt to modify or bypass the fire suppression system.
An uncontrolled fire can cause serious injury or death.
NOTE: If the fire suppression system is discharged, a buzzer will sound continuously. The fryer will remain inoperable until the fire suppression system is serviced, recharged and reset by an authorized Ansul® distributor.
Charging of the Ansul® Fire Suppression system must be in accordance with Ansul® Design, Installation, Recharge and Maintenance Manual, #418087.
NOTE: If a REMOTE MANUAL PULL STATION is installed, moving the FRYER for servicing may cause the Ansul® system to discharge. In this case, the unit must only be installed with four fixed legs (i.e. remove rear casters and replace with legs). Additional legs may be ordered through an Authorized Wells Service Agency. See page 19.

FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM INSTALLATION
FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM is comprised of a container of Ansulex® Low pH liquid fire suppression media, a system pressurization canister and associated plumbing and controls.
Two FUSIBLE LINKS are utilized for automatic actuation, and a MANUAL PULL STATION for manual actuation. Two NOZZLES disperse the fire suppression media.
The hood is supplied with a field installed MANUAL PULL STATION, which must be set-up at the time of the fryer installation by an authorized Ansul® distributor. See below and following page for installation details.
If the fryer is installed such that the supplied manual pull station cannot be installed, a REMOTE MANUAL PULL STATION may be required by local codes. Any such remote manual pull station must be installed by an authorized Ansul® distributor in accordance with the AUTHORITY HAVING jURISDICTION.
When the fire suppression system discharges, fryer heating element(s) and controls are de-energized, and fire suppression media discharged.
Fire supression media will form an emulsion designed to both smother and cool the oil.
The PRIMARY 450ºF FUSIBLE LINK is located on the frypot. This link will melt and discharge the fire suppression system should both the TEMPERATURE CONTROL THERMOSTAT and the HIGH LIMIT CONTROL fail. The SECONDARY 280ºF FUSIBLE LINK is located in the filter plenum, and will protect against a fire in the plenum.
Either link melting will discharge the fire suppression media through both NOZZLES, and cause a buzzer to sound.
The MANUAL PULL STATION and any similar REMOTE MANUAL PULL STATION will activate the fire suppression system when the ring on the pull station is pulled to its full extent.

DANGER BURN HAZARD HOT OIL SPILL
Any additional remote pull station must not be installed on the front or sides of the fryer forward of the ventilator side panels.
Discharge of the fire extinguishing system into hot oil will cause hot foam to spill over from the frypot.
Serious burns and other injuries can result from contact with hot oil and from slipping in spilled oil.
Exclusive Anti-Fire System In the unlikely event that both the temperature control thermostat and hi-limit detector fail, and the oil temperature climbs above the safety limit, the fire suppression system will discharge, cooling the oil below the oil’s (approximately) 540ºF auto-ignition temperature, and preventing a fire from occurring.

NOTE: The GREASE BAFFLE and HEPA AIR FILTER actuate magnetic reed switches when they are in their proper positions. They must be properly installed or the fryer heater elements will not be energized.
NOTE: Remove the protective plastic bag from the optional charcoal filter before installing. Installing the filter without removing the plastic bag will block the air flow. This will cause the ventilator to shut down 10 seconds after start-up, and the fryer will not heat.

WARNING SLIP AND FALL HAZARD
DO NOT operate fryer unless drip pan is installed. Oil will drip onto floor creating a slipping hazard.

CAUTION BURN HAZARD
DO NOT operate fryer unless grease cup is installed.
Moisture dripping into hot oil will cause hot oil to splatter.

FILTER INSTALLATION

Remove the protective plastic bag from charcoal filter before installing.
Note air flow direction arrow on each filter, and verify that arrow points toward plenum when filter is properly installed.
Install filters by inserting top of each into top filter support inside hood assembly. Pivot bottom of each filter toward rear of hood assembly and drop it into its respective bottom filter support. Seat each filter firmly into the bottom filter support.
Install CHARCOAL FILTER first, followed by HEPA AIR FILTER.
Install GREASE BAFFLE last.
GREASE CUP & DRIP PAN INSTALLATION Install GREASE CUP into brackets below grease baffle.
Note: Failure to install GREASE CUP will allow grease and moisture from GREASE BAFFLE to drop into FRYPOT, creating both a SAFETY HAZARD (hot oil splatter) and a HEALTH HAZARD (contamination of the cooking oil).
Install DRIP PAN into mounting bracket behind fryer door at lower right front of fryer.
Note: Failure to install DRIP PAN will allow grease, moisture and other liquids that accumulate on the fryer top panel to drip onto floor, creating both a SAFETY HAZARD (slip and fall hazard) and a HEALTH HAZARD (substance capable of supporting bacteria).

OPERATION

NOTE: Fryer must be operated in accordance with the instructions in the accompanying FRYER OPERATION MANUAL. During normal operation, VENTILATOR POWER ON light will be the only light illuminated on VENTILATOR WARNING LIGHT PANEL. If the CHECK FILTERS light illuminates, check both GREASE BAFFLE and the HEPA AIR FILTER for proper installation.
If REPLACE FILTERS light illuminates, replace both HEPA AIR FILTER and CHARCOAL FILTER. Always replace both filters at the same time.
NOTE: REPLACE FILTERS light is a warning that filters are nearing the end of their service life. The fryer will continue to operate for a period of time after REPLACE FILTER LIGHT turns ON to allow continued fryer operation through a peak period. However, filters must be replaced within a short time period or they will clog, disabling the fryer.
If SERVICE REQUIRED light illuminates, filters are restricted to the point of insufficient airflow for proper operation. Fryer is shut down until the underlying clogged filter situation has been corrected. Normally, replacing both HEPA AIR FILTER and CHARCOAL FILTER will remedy the condition. Reset the unit by turning FRYER POWER SWITCH to OFF, then back to FRYER. A failure of incoming electric power will cause a shut down of the unit. Reset the unit by turning the FRYER POWER SWITCH to OFF, then back to FRYER.

CAUTION: HOT SURFACE
Exposed surfaces can be hot to the touch and may cause burns.

CAUTION: SHOCK HAZARD
DO NOT splash or pour water or grease onto control panel or wiring.

IMPORTANT: The fryer is disabled when REPLACE FILTERS light is illuminated. Note that the fryer cannot operate if the HEPA air filter is removed. It is the responsibility of the store management to maintain sufficient spares of HEPA air filters to avoid prolonged shutdown of the fryer when this filter is expended.
Charcoal and HEPA air filters cannot be cleaned. Wells Manufacturing assumes no liability for loss of business due to filter related shutdown.
