Henny Penny 590 Guide

Model 590/592

This section provides checkout and replacement procedures,

for various parts of the fryer. Before replacing any parts, refer

to the Troubleshooting Section to aid you in ﬁnding the cause

of the malfunction.

1. A multimeter will help you to check electric components.

2. When the manual refers to the circuit being closed, the

multimeter should read zero unless otherwise noted.

3. When the manual refers to circuit being open, multimeter

should read inﬁnity.

Do not move fryer with hot shortening in the frypot or

ﬁlter pan. Severe burns can result from splashing hot

shortening.

4. Remove weights from frame to easily access rear of fryer.

To ensure a long life of fryers and their components, regular

maintenance should be performed. Refer to the chart below.

This high temperature control is a safety, manual reset control,

which senses the temperature of the shortening. If the shorten-

ing temperature exceeds 425°F (218°C), this switch opens

and shuts off the heat to the frypot. When the temperature of

the shortening drops to a safe operation limit, manually reset

by pressing the red reset button. The red reset button is located

under the control panel, in the front of the fryer, to the right of

the drain. Once reset, the frypot starts heating.

Checkout

Before replacing a high temperature limit control, check to see

that its circuit is closed.

The shortening temperature must be below 380°F (193°C)

to accurately perform this check.

1. Remove electrical power supplied to the fryer.

To avoid electrical shock or property damage, move the

power switch to OFF and disconnect main circuit

breaker, or unplug cord at wall receptacle.

2. Remove the control panel.

3. Remove the inner heat shield.

4. Remove two nuts securing the high limit bracket to unit,

and pull the bracket from the unit.

5. Remove two screws securing the high limit to the bracket,

and remove the high limit from the bracket.

6. Remove the two electrical wires from the high temperature

limit control.

7. Manually reset control, then check for continuity between

the two terminals after resetting the control. If circuit is

open, replace control, then continue with this procedure. (If

the circuit is closed, high limit is not defective. Reconnect

the two electrical wires.)

The Henny Penny Fryer uses pressure as one of the compo-

nents of the cooking process. Once the lid is sealed to the

frypot, and the solenoid valve closes, a deadweight valve main-

tains the correct pressure in the frypot.

The lid has minimal and limited maintenance and repair proce-

dures, which are addressed in the following sections.

The following is a routine maintenance schedule for the Lid:

Every 90 days

• Clean and reverse the lid gasket

Yearly Inspection

• Check Lid Gasket for splits and tears-replace if necessary

• Check Pressure Pads for wear-rotate if necessary

• Check Cam Slide Guides-replace if worn or broken

• Check Lid Rollers-replace if cracked or damaged

The Lid Assembly is easily tilted up for cleaning or servicing.

1. Raise the lid and remove racks and carrier.

2. Grasping the lid handle, lift the front of the lid up until it

stops in an upright position.

Be sure the metal arm on the left side of the lid is in the

vertical position holding lid upright, or severe injuries

could result. (See photo at left).

The gray rubber gasket surrounding the inside of the lid is de-

signed to be reversed.

Because of heat expansion and the pressure used for cooking

process, gasket is constantly under extreme stress. Reversing

the lid gasket will help to assure that the fryer will not lose

pressure through leakage.

1. Put the lid in the upright position, as previously described.

2. Using a thin blade screwdriver, pry out the gasket at the

corners. Remove the gasket.

Check the gasket for any tears or nicks. If the gasket is

damaged it needs to be replaced.

Be sure the metal arm on the left side of the lid is in the

vertical position holding lid upright, or severe injuries

could result. (See photo in Tilting Lid Upright section)

3. Clean the gasket and gasket seat with hot water.

4. Rotate the gasket with the opposite side facing out.

Install the 4 corners of the lid gasket. Smooth gasket into

place, working from the corners towards the middle of each

side.
