must

allow

for

a

6-inch

(15

ma¬

terials.

A

minimum

of

24

inches

(61

MAY

BECOME

UNSTABLE,

TIP

OVER,

AND

CAUSE

INJURY.

FRYER

EQUIPPED

WITH

CASTERS

a.

Frymaster

fryers

equipped

with

casters

must

be

installed

in

a

manner

that

will

allow

the

fryer

drain

line

to

drain

properly.

See

In¬

struction

sheet

included

with

b.

Adequate

means

must

be

provided

to

avoid

the

splashing

of

hot

liquid

without

depending

on

the

gas

connector

and

any

quick-disconnect

device

or

its

associated

piping.

This

can

be

accomplished

by

attaching

restraining

chains/cables

to

the

out¬

side

of

the

front

casters

and

securing

the

chains/cables

to

the

floor.

c.

Ensure

installation

is

made

with

a

gas

connector

that

complies

with

the

latest

Frymaster

gas

fryers

are

manufactured

to

use

the

type

gas

specified

on

the

rating

plate

located

on

the

fryer

door(s).

When

installing

gas

fryers

in

the

United

the

installation

must

conform

with

the

latest

edition

of

the

National

Fuel

Gas

Code,

In

addition,

all

local

GAS

CONNECTIONS

AND

PIPE

SIZE

The

size

of

the

fryer

gas

supply

pipe

is

very

impor¬

tant.

If

the

pipe

is

too

small,

the

gas

pressure

at

the

burner

manifold

will

be

low.

This

will

cause

slow

re¬

covery

and

delayed

ignition.

The

incoming

gas

sup¬

ply

line

should

be

a

minimum

of

1".

All

single

J1C/MJ15

fryers

require

a

V-i'

connection.

Batteries

of

2

and

3

MJ15

fryers

require

a

1”

connection.

NOTE:

Runs

of

more

than

20

feet

and

more

than

4

fittings

or

elbows

require

an

increase

of

one

pipe

size.

For

gases

with

heating

values

less

than

800

BTU’s

per

cubic

foot,

increase

the

pipe

size

by

1

size.

For

LP

gases,

the

next

smaller

pipe

size

may

be

used.

If

in

doubt

about

pipe

size,

consult

the

local

gas

company.

CAUTION.

Before

connecting

the

new

pipe

to

the

J1C/MJ15

series

fryers,

the

pipe

MUST

be

blown

out

thoroughly

to

remove

all

foreign

particles.

Foreign

particles

in

the

burner

and

controls

may

cause

im¬

proper

and

dangerous

operation.

When

using

thread

compound,

use

very

small

amounts

on

male

threads

only.

Use

a

pipe

thread

compound

that

will

withstand

the

chemical

action

of

LP

gases

(Loctite

PST

56765).

DO

NOT

apply

com¬

pound

to

the

first

2

threads.

This

will

prevent

clog¬

ging

of

the

burner

orifices

and

control

valve.

Make

sure

the

installer

checks

all

gas

plumbing

with

a

soap

solution

for

leaks.

DO

NOT

use

matches,

can¬

dles,

or

other

ignition

materials.

The

fryers

and

individual

shut-off

valves

must

be

dis¬

connected

from

the

gas

supply

piping

system

during

any

pressure

testing

of

the

gas

supply

piping

at

pres¬

sures

equal

to

or

greater

than

Vz

psig

(3.45

kPa)

(13.84

in

W.C.).

The

fryers

must

be

isolated

from

the

gas

supply

pip¬

ing

system

by

closing

its

individual

manual

shutoff

valve

during

any

pressure

testing

of

the

gas

supply

piping

system

at

test

pressures

equal

to

or

less

than

If

you

see

ACCESSING

FRYERS

FOR

SERVICING

WARNING:

Moving

a

fryer

filled

with

hot

shortening

may

cause

splattering

of

hot

shortening.

Extreme

care

must

be

exercised.

It

is

recommended

that

the

operator

or

servicer

follow

the

draining

instructions

of

this

manual

before

attempting

to

relocate

the

fryer.

a.

Disconnect

the

quick-disconnect

hose.

b.

Remove

restraining

devices

typically

applied

to

the

bottom

or

the

back

of

the

fryer.

c.

Relocate

the

fryer

for

service

accessibility.

d.

After

servicing

is

complete,

reconnect

the

quick-

disconnect

hose.

Attach

the

restraining

devices.

SHUTTING

VENTILATION

AND

CLEARANCE

>

One

of

the

most

important

considerations

of

effi¬

cient

fryer

operation

is

ventilation.

Make

sure

the

fryer

is

installed

so

that

products

of

combustion

are

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

ex¬

haust

fan.

>

The

fryer

must

never

have

the

flue

extended

in

a

"chimney'’

fashion.

An

extended

flue

will

change

the

combustion

characteristics

of

the

fryer

caus¬

ing

longer

recovery

time.

This

frequently

causes

delayed

ignition.

To

provide

air

flow

necessary

for

good

combustion

and

burner

operation,

the

areas

surrounding

the

fryer

front,

sides

and

rear

must

be

kept

clear

and

unobstructed.

>

The

fryer(s)

must

be

installed

in

an

area

with

ade¬

quate

air

supply

and

ventilation.

>

Many

operators

do

not

realize

that

the

finest

ven¬

tilation

system

will

break

down

if

improperly

main¬

tained.

The

duct

system,

the

hood,

and

the

filter

bank

must

be

cleaned

on

a

regular

basis

and

kept

grease-free.

>

Adequate

distances

must

be

maintained

from

the

flue

outlet

of

the

fryer

to

the

lower

edge

of

the

fil¬

ter

bank.

Install

filters

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

that,

"A

minimum

distance

of

18

in.

(450

mm)

should

be

maintained

between

the

flue

out¬

let

and

the

lower

edge

of

the

grease

filter".

We

recommend

that

the

MINIMUM

DISTANCE

BE

24

IN.

(600

mm)

FROM

THE

FLUE

OUTLET

TO

THE

BOTTOM

EDGE

OF

THE

FILTER

WHEN

THE

APPLIANCE

CONSUMES

MORE

THAT

120,000

BTU

PER

HOUR.

DRAINING

AND

FILTERING

INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:

Use

care

when

draining

and

filtering

shortening

to

avoid

serious

burns.

FILTERING

The

following

procedure

is

recommended

to

drain

and

filter

your

shortening

when

a

filter

machine

is

not

available.

a.

T

urn

the

fryer

gas

valve

knob

to

PILOT.

Screw

the

drain

pipe

(provided

with

fryer)

into

the

drain

valve.

Make

sure

the

drain

pipe

is

firmly

screwed

into

the

drain

valve

and

that

the

curved

end

is

pointing

down.

See

Figure

4.

Fig.

b.

Position

a

metal

container

with

sealable

cover

un¬

der

the

drain

pipe.

The

metal

container

must

be

able

to

withstand

the

hot

shortening

and

hold

hot

liquids.

Fry

master

recommends

that

a

Frymaster

filter

cone

holder

and

filter

cone

be

used

when

a

filter

machine

is

not

available.

If

you

are

using

the

Frymaster

filter

cone

holder

and

cone,

be

sure

that

the

cone

holder

rests

securely

on

the

metal

container.

c.

Open

the

drain

valve

slowly

to

avoid

splattering.

If

splattering

occurs,

exercise

extreme

caution.

d.

If

the

drain

valve

becomes

clogged

with

food

par¬

ticles,

you

may

wish

to

use

the

Fryer's

Friend

(poker-like

tool).

Use

this

tool

from

the

inside

of

the

frypot

ONLY.

See

Figure

5.

Carefully

grip

the

tool

as

far

as

possible

away

from

the

shortening

in

the

frypot.

DO

NOT

hammer

on

the

drain

valve,

this

damages

the

drain

valve

ball.

DO

NOT

insert

the

tool

into

the

front

of

the

drain

to

6

unclog

the

valve,

hot

shortening

will

rush

out

cre¬

ating

an

extreme

hazard.

Fig.

CAUTION.

Allow

the

shortening

to

cool

to

100°F

(38°C)

or

lower

before

transporting

the

container

and

removing

the

drain

pipe.

Shortening

temperature

of

140°F

(60°C)

or

higher

will

result

in

severe

burns.
