Step 1: Unpack
IMMEDIATELY INSPECT FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE
All containers should be examined for damage before and during unloading. The
freight carrier has assumed responsibility for safe transit and delivery. If
damaged equipment is received, either apparent or concealed, a claim must be
made with the delivering carrier. Apparent damage or loss must be noted on the
freight bill at the time of delivery. The freight bill must then be signed by
the carrier representative (Driver). If the bill is not signed, the carrier
may refuse the claim. The carrier can supply the necessary forms. A request
for inspection must be made to the carrier within 5 days if there is concealed
damage or loss that is not apparent until after the equipment is uncrated. The
carrier should arrange an inspection. Be certain to hold all contents plus all
packing material.
1. Uncrate carefully. Report any hidden damage to the freight carrier
IMMEDIATELY. 2. Do not remove any tags or labels until unit is installed and
working properly.
Step 2: INSTALL THE LEGS (OR OPTIONAL CASTERS) AND RESTRAINTS
A set of caster is packed with the fryer. Legs are optional, purchased
separately. Mounting fasteners are pre-mounted on the base plates. 1. Raise
fryer sufficiently to allow legs or casters to be screwed into the base plate.
For safety, “shore up”
and support the fryer with an adequate blocking arrangement strong enough to
support the load. 2. Screw the four legs or casters to the plate on the bottom
of the fryer. When casters have been ordered,
the casters having a locking-brake should be attached under the front of the
fryer. 3. Lower the fryer gently. Never drop or allow the fryer to fall. 4.
Use a level to make sure that the fryer is level. Each caster, or the tubular-
end of each leg, can be
screwed in or out to lower or raise each corner of the fryer. 5. Attach
restraints as required by local codes.
6. Raise fryer sufficiently to allow legs or casters to be screwed into the
base plate. For safety, “shore up” and support the fryer with an adequate
blocking arrangement strong enough to support the load.
7. Screw the four legs or casters to the plate on the bottom of the fryer.
When casters have been ordered, the casters having a locking-brake should be
attached under the front of the fryer.
8. Lower the fryer gently. Never drop or allow the fryer to fall. 9. Use a
level to make sure that the fryer is level. Each caster, or the tubular-end of
each leg, can be
screwed in or out to lower or raise each corner of the fryer. 10. Attach
restraints as required by local codes.
6
NOTICE
Unit must be level to assure maximum performance. Improper leveling may void
warranty.
NOTICE
When this appliance is installed with casters, it must be installed with the
casters supplied, a connector complying with either ANSI Z21.69 CSA 6.16 and a
quick-disconnect device complying with ANSI Z21.41 CSA 6.9. It must also be
installed with restraining means to guard against transmission of strain to
the connector, as specified in the appliance manufacturer instructions.
! WARNING
If disconnection of the restraint is necessary to move the appliance for
cleaning, etc., reconnect it when the appliance is moved to its original
installed position.
! WARNING
When this appliance is installed with casters, it must be installed with the
casters supplied, a connector complying with either ANSI Z21.69 or
CAN/CGA-6.16 and a quick disconnect device complying with either ANSI Z21.41
or CAN1-6.9. It must also be installed with restraining means to guard against
transmission of strain to the connector, as specified in the appliance
manufacturer’s instructions.
! WARNING
All fryers must be restrained to prevent tipping in order to avoid the
splashing of hot liquid. The means of restraint may be the manner of
installation.
7
Step 3: Flue Installation
1. Unpack the flue box and flue wrap 2. Slide the flue box over the flue and
secure it with the two self-tapping screws using a 5/16″ socket 3. Slide the
flue wrap over the flue
8
4. Secure it with four self-tapping screws two on the back and one on each side using a 5/16″ socket
Step 4: Check Clearances and Ventilation Select a firm, level location for your fryer. Leave clearance, whenever possible, so that access from the rear is possible to permit cleaning. If the unit is to be set on non-combustible flooring, such as a concrete slab, 3 inches minimum toe room must be provided to prevent restriction of the air opening in the bottom of the unit.
! WARNING
There must be adequate clearance between fryer(s) and construction. Clearance must also be provided in front for servicing and for operation.
Minimum Clearances:
From Combustible Construction
Sides
6 inches
Rear
6 inches
ALL GAS FLOOR MODEL FRYERS SHALL BE INSTALLED WITH AT LEAST A 16 INCH SPACE BETWEEN THE FRYER AND SURFACE FLAMES FROM ADJACENT EQUIPMENT. A FLAME GUARD IS ACCEPTABLE IF ALLOWED UNDER LOCAL CODE.
No additional side and rear clearance is required for service as the fryer is serviceable from the front.
! WARNING
Improper ventilation can result in personal injury or death. Ventilation that
fails to properly remove flue products can cause headaches, drowsiness,
nausea, or could result in death.
Unit Must be installed under a ventilation hood
All units must be installed in such a manner that the flow of combustion and
ventilation air is not obstructed. Provisions for adequate air supply must
also be provided. Do NOT obstruct the bottom front of the unit, as combustion
air enters through this area. Be sure to inspect and clean the ventilation
system according to the ventilation equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
9
Due to the variety of problems that can be caused by outside weather
conditions, venting by canopies or wall fans is preferred over any type of
direct venting. It is recommended that a canopy extend 6″ past the appliance
and the bottom edge be located 6’6″ from the floor. Filters should be
installed at an angle of 45° or more from the horizontal. This position
prevents dripping of grease and facilitates collecting the run-off grease in a
drip pan, unusually installed with a filter. A strong exhaust fan tends to
create a vacuum in the room and may interfere with burner performance or may
extinguish pilot flames. Fresh air openings approximately equal to the fan
area will relieve such a vacuum. In case of unsatisfactory performance on any
appliance, check the appliance with the exhaust fan in the “OFF” position. Do
this only long enough to check equipment performance, then turn hood back on
and let it run to remove any exhaust that may have accumulated during the
test. The exhaust fan should be installed at least 2 feet above the vent
opening at the top of the fryer. Make sure all ventilation meet local code
requirement This unit is not intended to be connected directly to an outside
flue.
Step 5: Gas connection
A 3/4″ male NPT 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. A circuit diagram is located inside the front door of the
fryer. This equipment is adjusted at the factory; however, pilot height should
be checked at installation and adjusted, if necessary. For orifice sizes and
pressure regulator settings, see the chart on page 4. If the fryer is being
installed at over 2,000 feet altitude and that information was not specified
when ordered, contact the appropriate authorized Service Representative or the
Service Department. Failure to install with proper orifice sizing will result
in poor performance and may void the warranty. If applicable, the vent line
from the gas appliance pressure regulator shall be installed to the outdoors
in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Natural Gas Installation Code,
CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the Propane Installation Code, CAN/CGAB149.2, as
applicable. 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 4″ W.C. manifold pressure for natural gas or 10.0″
W.C. manifold pressure for propane gas. However, to maintain these conditions
the pressure on the supply line, when all units are operating simultaneously,
should not drop below 7″ W.C. for natural gas or 11″ W.C. for propane gas.
Fluctuations of more than 25% on natural gas or 10% on propane gas will create
problems and affect burner operating characteristics. A 1/8″ tap to measure
the manifold pressure is located on the combination gas valve, which is on the
burner manifold located directly below the burners inside the cabinet. Purge
the supply line to clean out dust, dirt, or other foreign matter before
connecting the line to the unit. It is recommended that an individual manual
shutoff valve be installed in the gas supply line to the unit. Use pipe joint
compound that is suitable for use with both natural and LP gas on all threaded
connections.
10
! CAUTION
ALL PIPE JOINTS AND CONNECTIONS MUST BE TESTED THOROUGHLY FOR GAS LEAKS. USE
ONLY SOAPY WATER FOR TESTING ON ALL GASES. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK
FOR GAS LEAKS. ALL CONNECTIONS MUST BE CHECKED FOR LEAKS AFTER THE UNIT HAS
BEEN PUT INTO OPERATION. TEST PRESSURE SHOULD NOT EXCEED 14″ W.C.
! CAUTION
THIS APPLIANCE AND ITS INDIVIDUAL COMBINATION GAS VALVE MUST BE DISCONNECTED
FROM THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM DURING ANY PRESSURE TESTING OF THAT SYSTEM
AT TEST PRESSURES IN EXCESS OF 14″WC (1/2 PSIG or 3.45 kPa). If the incoming
gas pressure is in excess of 14″WC (1/2PSI, 3.45 kPa), a proper step-down
regulator will be required. See PHOTO 1 for LP application Connect the gas
supply directly to the 3/4″ male NPT connector located near the lower left
rear corner of the fryer. When tightening the supply pipe, be sure to hold the
mating connector extending from the unit securely with a wrench. This will
prevent any damage or distortion to the internal piping and controls of the
unit. After connecting the gas supply, check again that the fryer is level.
Use a long spirit level four ways; across the front and rear of the frypot,
and along each edge.

3. While pressing the knob down, use a lit match to ignite the pilot.
Continue to press the knob down for about 30 seconds. If the pilot does not
stay lit when the knob is released, repeat the lighting procedure and keep the
knob down longer. Adjustment of pilot flame may be necessary.
4. When the pilot stays lit, turn the knob counterclockwise to the “ON”
position. Do not press down on the knob in this step.
5. Do NOT turn the thermostat “ON” until the frypot is filled with oil or
solid shortening. 6. Once the frypot is filled with shortening, set the
thermostat to the desired temperature
12
FILLING THE FRYPOT
1. Close drain valve completely before filling the frypot. 2. When the fryer
is new, fill the frypot with water and clean thoroughly (see “Weekly Cleaning”
on page 15)
in order to remove protective coatings and any foreign matter. 3. The
recommended solid shortening capacity for the frypot (35, 55 or 75lbs) is
described on the serial
plate (which is located inside the front door). 4. Remove the basket support
frame when filling the frypot with solid shortening. 5. When solid shortening
is used, be careful not to bend, break, or twist the thin capillary wires of
the
sensing elements located in the frypot. 6. Pack solid shortening into the zone
below the tubes, all spaces between the tubes, and at least an inch
above the top of the tubes before lighting the fryer. If any air spaces are
left around the heat tube surfaces when the heat is turned on, the tube
surfaces will become red hot, burn the solid shortening, weaken the frypot,
and could result in a fire.
! CAUTION
NEVER ATTEMPT TO MELT A SOLID BLOCK OF SHORTENING ON TOP OF THE HEAT TUBES.
NEVER START THE BURNERS WHEN THE FRYPOT IS EMPTY.
7. To prevent burning or scorching the solid shortening, keep the thermostat
set at the lowest temperature until all the solid shortening between and above
the tubes has been melted. Additional solid shortening can then be added until
the desired frying depth has been reached.
8. Replace the basket support frame over the frypot heat tubes.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
Standby: Turn knob on the combination gas valve to the “PILOT” position. At
this setting, only the pilot burner will remain ignited. Complete Shutdown:
Turn knob on the combination gas valve clockwise, press down on the knob and
continue to turn to the “OFF” position.
RELIGHTING
! WARNING
In the event of a main burner ignition failure, a five minute purge period
must be observed prior to reestablishing the ignition source.
1. Shut off all gas. 2. Wait five minutes. 3. Follow the “Lighting” procedure
described on page 12.
AUTOMATIC PILOT VALVE
The Automatic Pilot Valve provides an automatic safety shutoff for the fryer
when the pilot flame is extinguished. When the pilot flame is burning, the
valve is held open electromagnetically by the electrical current from a
thermopile in the pilot flame. When the pilot flame goes out, generation of
current ceases and the valve closes automatically.
13
HIGH LIMIT CONTROL
Gas floor model fryers are equipped with a secondary heat control that
prevents the oil temperature from rising above 450F. (Because of the accuracy
tolerance of the sensor, the oil temperature may reach as high as 475F.) In
the event the fryer shuts down due to this condition, the oil must be cooled
to below 400F before the pilot burner can be re-ignited. When the oil has
cooled, use the “Lighting” procedure on page 12 to place the fryer back in
operation. If the problem persists, contact your local Service Representative
or the Service Department.
COOKING HINTS
USER TIPS
· Smoking oil means that the temperature is too high, or that the oil has
broken down. · Gum in frypot denotes a need for thorough cleaning (see “Weekly
Cleaning” on page 15) · Use different oil for oily foods (mackerel, nutmeg,
etc.) than for foods with water-soluble flavors (potatoes,
onions, etc.). · Taste cool oil for quality. Replace it regularly. · Poor oil
cannot produce good food.
CLEANING
The equipment is constructed with the best quality materials and is designed
to provide durable service when properly maintained. To expect the best
performance, your equipment must be maintained in good condition and cleaned
daily. Naturally, the frequency and extent of cleaning depends on the amount
and degree of usage. Following daily and more extensive periodic maintenance
procedures will increase the life of your equipment. Climatic conditions
(e.g., salt air) may result in the need for more thorough and more frequent
cleaning in order to keep equipment performing at optimal levels.
! WARNING: BURN HAZARD
If necessary to move the fryer for cleaning, etc., drain oil first to avoid
death or serious injury.
! WARNING
If disconnection of the restraint is necessary to move the appliance for
cleaning, etc., reconnect it when the appliance is moved to it originally
installed position.
DAILY CLEANING
1. Turn thermostat knob to “OFF” position. 2. Place hot-oil in a safe
container under the drain and drain the frypot completely. 3. Remove the
basket support frame (if applicable) and flush out any sediment remaining in
the frypot with
a little hot oil.
14
4. Wipe off the basket support frame and the inside of the frypot with a
clean cloth.
! CAUTION
SOME AREAS OF THE FRYPOT MAY BE HOT!
5. Close drain valve and strain the oil back into the frypot through several
thicknesses of cheesecloth, or filter it back using a filter machine.
6. Replace the basket support frame (if applicable) 7. Add oil or shortening
to MIN oil level mark on rear of frypot. 8. To resume cooking, turn the
combination gas valve knob to “ON” position.
WEEKLY CLEANING
1. Follow steps 1 through 4 of the Daily Cleaning procedure (see previous
section). 2. Close drain valve and fill frypot with a solution of warm water
and boil-out compound 3. Relight the fryer and bring the solution to a gentle
boil for at least five minutes. 4. Turn off main burners and let the solution
stand until the gum deposits are softened and the carbon spots
and burned grease spots can be rubbed off. 5. Scrub the frypot walls and heat
tubes, then drain out frypot and rinse it with clean water. 6. Refill the
frypot with clean water and boil again. 7. Turn off gas and drain and rinse
well until clean. 8. Wipe dry with a clean cloth. 9. Refill as specified in
the “Filling the Frypot” section (see page 13).
MONTHLY CLEANING
1. Perform the Weekly Cleaning procedure (see previous section). 2. Clean
around burner and orifices if lint has accumulated. 3. Visually check that
burner carry-over ports are unobstructed.
CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
To remove normal dirt, grease and product residue from stainless steel use
ordinary soap and water (with or without detergent) applied with a sponge or
cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Never use vinegar or any corrosive
cleaner. To remove grease and food splatter or condensed vapors that have
baked on the equipment apply cleanser to a damp cloth or sponge and rub
cleanser on the metal in the direction of the polishing lines on the metal.
Rubbing cleanser, as gently as possible, in the direction of the polished
lines will not mar the finish of the stainless steel. NEVER RUB WITH A
CIRCULAR MOTION. Soil and burnt deposits that do not respond to the above
procedure can usually be removed by rubbing the surface with SCOTCH-BRITETM
scouring pads or STAINLESS scouring pads. DO NOT USE ORDINARY STEEL WOOL, as
any particles left on the surface will rust and further spoil the appearance
of the finish. NEVER USE A WIRE BRUSH, STEEL SCOURING PADS (EXCEPT STAINLESS),
SCRAPER, FILE OR OTHER STEEL TOOLS. Surfaces that are marred collect dirt more
rapidly and become more difficult to clean. Marring also increases the
possibility of corrosive attack. Refinishing may then be required. Darkened
areas, called “heat tint,” sometimes appear on stainless steel surfaces where
the area has been subjected to excessive heat. These darkened areas are caused
by thickening of the protective surface of the stainless steel and are not
harmful. Heat tint can normally be removed by the above cleaning techniques,
but tint which does not respond to that procedure calls for a vigorous
scouring in the direction of the polish lines, using SCOTCH-BRITETM scouring
pads or a STAINLESS scouring pad in combination with a powered
15
cleanser. Heat tint action may be lessened by not applying or by reducing,
heat to equipment during slack periods.
SERVICE (FOR AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN ONLY)
NOTICE
Warranty will be void and the manufacturer is relieved of all liability if:
(A) Service work is performed by other than a qualified technician (see page
30 for detail)
OR (B) Other than approved replacement parts are installed.
! WARNING
Adjustments and service work may be performed only by a qualified technician
who is experienced in, and knowledgeable with, the operation of commercial gas
cooking equipment. However, to assure your confidence, contact your Service
Representative for reliable service, dependable advice or other assistance,
and for genuine factory parts.
All units are adjusted at the factory. In case of problems in operation at
initial installation, check type of gas and manifold pressure and compare with
information listed on the serial plate. A mill voltage circuit diagram is
located inside the front door of the fryer, and also on page 19.
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING MAIN BURNERS
The main burners should burn with a steady flow, and the inner cone of the
flame from each port should be about 3/4″ long. The flame from each main
burner should enter each heat tube without touching the front of the frypot or
the sides, top, or bottom of each tube.

CHECKING AND ADJUSTING PRESSURE REGULATOR
The combination gas valve (includes pressure regulator) is factory set at 4″
W.C. for natural gas and 10″ W.C. for propane gas. To check the manifold
pressure, do the following: 1. Turn thermostat “OFF” and combination gas valve
knob to the “PILOT” setting. 2. Remove pressure tap plug from burner manifold
located directly below the burners in the cabinet. 3. Install a fitting
appropriate to connect a manometer. 4. Turn combination gas valve to “ON”
position and thermostat to “ON.” The burners will ignite. Be certain
that sufficient oil is covering the tubes. 5. With burners on, read manometer.
6. If the manometer does not read 4″ W.C. for natural gas, or 10″ W.C. for
propane gas, adjust regulator. 7. Remove regulator adjustment screw cap (see
diagram on page 15). 8. With small screwdriver rotate adjustment screw
“CLOCKWISE” to increase or “COUNTERCLOCKWISE”
to decrease pressure. Be sure to adjust with burners “ON.” 9. Turn thermostat
“OFF” and set combination gas valve knob to “PILOT” position. 10. Remove
manometer and replace pressure tap plug. 11. Replace adjustment screw cap.
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING CALIBRATION OF THERMOSTAT
All thermostat controls are carefully calibrated at the factory (i.e., the
dial is properly set to control appliance temperatures accurately). Only a
qualified appliance service technician should perform this adjustment. 1. To
check appliance temperatures, use a thermocouple-type temperature test
instrument or reliable
thermometer. Place the thermocouple of test instrument or thermometer in the
center of the frypot. 2. Turn the control dial to the temperature setting
requiring the greatest accuracy. Allow enough time for
temperature to stabilize, or until several temperature readings are identical.
3. Recalibrate if setting and actual temperature differ by more than 10F.
4. Remove dial from dial shaft “B.” Be careful that dial shaft does not
rotate in either direction (which would change the dial setting).
5. Hold dial shaft “B” steady and with a screwdriver turn calibration screw
“A” clockwise to decrease the temperature, or counterclockwise to increase the
temperature.
6. Replace dial. Let the appliance operate until the temperature has
stabilized before a final check is made to determine whether or not the
calibration has been corrected.
7. Once correct, seal the calibration screw with glyptol.
17
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING AUTO SAFETY PILOT
The pilot flame should surround the thermopile for 1/2″. It must be large and
sharp enough to cause the thermopile to glow a dull red, or sufficient to hold
the safety valve open.
1. Remove pilot adjustment cap
2. Adjust pilot key to provide properly sized flame shown in diagram B.
Diagram A shows an improperly adjusted pilot
3. Replace pilot adjustment cap.

WARRANTY
Patriot warrants its equipment against defects in materials and workmanship,
subject to the following conditions:
Patriot gas equipment is warranted for one (1) years, effective from the date
of purchase by the original owner. A copy of the original receipt or other
proof of purchase is required to obtain warranty coverage. This warranty
applies to the original owner only, and is not assignable.
The stainless steel fry tank has a five (5) year limited tank warranty. If
during the first year, the tank is found to have a leak and is verified by an
authorized service company, the entire fryer will be replaced. During years
two through five, a new tank will be given.
Should any product fail to function in its intended manner under normal use
within the limits defined in this warranty, at Patriot’s discretion, such
product will be repaired, replaced with a refurbished unit, or replaced with a
new unit by Patriot, after defective unit has been inspected and defect has
been confirmed. Patriot does not assume any liability for extended delays in
replacing any item beyond its control. This warranty does not apply to rubber
and non-metallic synthetic parts that may need to be replaced due to normal
usage, wear or lack of preventative maintenance.
This warranty covers products shipped into the 48 contiguous United States,
Hawaii, and metropolitan areas of Alaska and Canada. Warranty coverage on
products used outside the 48 contiguous United States, Hawaii and metropolitan
areas of Alaska and Canada may vary.
The following conditions are not covered by warranty:
· Equipment failure relating to improper installation, improper utility
connection or supply and problems due to improper ventilation.
· Equipment that has not properly been maintained, damage from improper
cleaning, and water damage to controls.
· Equipment that has not been used in an appropriate manner, or has been
subject to misuse, neglect, abuse, accident, alteration, negligence, damage
during transit, delivery or installation, fire, flood, riot, or act of God.
· Equipment that has the model number or serial number removed or altered.
· Equipment on which the security seal has been broken.
If the equipment has been changed, altered, modified, or repaired without
express written permission from Patriot, then the manufacturer shall not be
liable for any damages to any person or to any property, which may result from
the use of this equipment thereafter.
This equipment is intended for commercial use only and this warranty is void
if equipment is used in other than a commercial application.
