CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS  
2.1  
General Installation Requirements  
Qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel, as defined in Section  
1.7 of this manual, should perform all installation and service on Frymaster equipment.  
Conversion of this appliance from one type of gas to another should only be performed by  
qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel as defined in Section 1.7  
of this manual.  
Failure to use qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel (as de-  
fined in Section 1.7 of this manual) to install, convert to another gas type or otherwise service  
this equipment will void the Frymaster warranty and may result in damage to the equipment  
or injury to personnel.  
Where conflicts exist between instructions and information in this manual and local or na-  
tional codes or regulations, installation and operation shall comply with the codes or regula-  
tions in force in the country in which the equipment is installed.  
DANGER  
Building codes prohibit a fryer with its open tank of hot oil being installed beside an  
open flame of any type, including those of broilers and ranges.  
Upon arrival, inspect the fryer carefully for visible or concealed damage. (See Shipping Damage  
Claim Procedure in Chapter 1.)  
DANGER  
Frymaster appliances equipped with legs are for stationary installations. Appliances  
fitted with legs must be lifted during movement to avoid damage to the appliance  
and bodily injury. For movable installations, optional equipment casters must be  
used. Questions? Call 1-800-551-8633.  
2.1.1 Clearance and Ventilation  
The fryer(s) must be installed with a 6” (150 mm) clearance at both sides and back when installed  
adjacent to combustible construction; no clearance is required when installed adjacent to  
noncombustible construction. A minimum of 24” (600 mm) clearance should be provided at the  
front of the fryer.  
WARNING  
Do not block the area around the base or under the fryers.  
2-1  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
DANGER  
No structural material on the fryer should be altered or removed to accommodate  
placement of the fryer under a hood. Questions? Call the Frymaster Dean Service  
Hotline at 1-800-551-8633.  
One of the most important considerations of efficient fryer operation is ventilation. Make sure the  
fryer is installed so that products of combustion are removed efficiently, and that the kitchen  
ventilation system does not produce drafts that interfere with burner operation.  
The fryer flue opening must not be placed close to the intake of the exhaust fan, and the fryer must  
never have its flue extended in a “chimney” fashion. An extended flue will change the combustion  
characteristics of the fryer, causing longer recovery time. It also frequently causes delayed ignition.  
To provide the airflow necessary for good combustion and burner operation, the areas surrounding  
the fryer front, sides, and rear must be kept clear and unobstructed.  
DANGER  
This appliance must be installed with sufficient ventilation to prevent the occurrence  
of unacceptable concentrations of substances harmful to the health of personnel in  
the room in which it is installed.  
Fryers must be installed in an area with an adequate air supply and adequate ventilation. Adequate  
distances must be maintained from the flue outlet of the fryer to the lower edge of the ventilation  
filter bank. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45º. Place a drip tray beneath the lowest edge  
of the filter. For U.S. installation, NFPA standard No. 96 states, “A minimum distance of 18 in.  
(450 mm) should be maintained between the flue outlet and the lower edge of the grease filter.”  
Frymaster recommends 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 than 120,000 BTU per hour.  
For installations in the United States, information on construction and installation of ventilating  
hoods can be found in the NFPA standard cited above. A copy of the standard may be obtained  
from the National Fire Protection Association, Battery March Park, Quincy, MA 02269.  
2.1.2 National Code Requirements  
The type of gas for which the fryer is equipped is stamped on the data plate attached to the inside of  
the fryer door. Connect a fryer stamped “NAT” only to natural gas, those stamped “PRO” only to  
propane gas, and those stamped “MFG” only to manufactured gas.  
Installation shall be made with a gas connector that complies with national and local codes, and,  
where applicable, CE codes. Quick-disconnect devices, if used, shall likewise comply with national,  
local, and, if applicable, CE codes. In the absence of local codes, installation must conform to the  
national Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation code,  
CSA B149.1, as applicable including:  
1.  
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected form the gas supply piping  
system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).  
2-2  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
2.  
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping 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 ½ psi (3.5 kPa).  
2.1.3 Electrical Grounding Requirements  
All electrically operated appliances must be grounded in accordance with all applicable national and  
local codes, and, where applicable, CE codes. In the absence of local codes, the appliance must be  
grounded in accordance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical  
Code, CSA C22.2, as applicable. All units (cord connected or permanently connected) should be  
connected to a grounded power supply system. A wiring diagram is located on the inside of the  
fryer door. Refer to the rating plate on the inside of the fryer door for proper voltages.  
DANGER  
This appliance is equipped with a special (grounding) plug for your protection  
against electrical shock, and must be plugged directly into a properly grounded re-  
ceptacle. Do not cut, remove, or otherwise bypass the grounding prong on this  
plug!

After the fryer has been positioned under the exhaust hood, ensure the following has been  
accomplished:  
1. Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of fryers without depending upon the  
gas line connections. If a flexible gas hose is used, a restraining cable must be connected at all  
times when the fryer is in use. The restraining cable and installation instructions are packed with  
the flexible hose in the accessories box that was shipped with your unit.  
DANGER  
Do not attach an apron drainboard to a single fryer. The fryer may become unstable,  
tip over, and cause injury. The appliance area must be kept free and clear of  
combustible material at all times.  
2. Level fryers equipped with legs by screwing out the legs approximately 1 inch then adjusting  
them so that the fryer is level and at the proper height in the exhaust hood. Frymaster  
recommends that the minimum distance from the flue outlet to the bottom edge of the hood be 24  
in. (600 mm) when the appliance consumes more than 120,000 BTU per hour. NOTE: There  
are no built-in leveling devices on fryers equipped with casters. The floor where the fryer is to  
be installed must be level.  
3. Test the fryer electrical system:  
a. Plug the fryer electrical cord(s) into a grounded electrical receptacle.  
b. Place the power switch in the ON position. Verify that the display indicates CYCL.  
c. Place the fryer power switch in the OFF position. Verify that the display indicates OFF.  
4. Refer to the data plate on the inside of the fryer door to determine if the fryer burner is configured  
for the proper type of gas before connecting the fryer quick-disconnect device or piping from the  
gas supply line.  
5. Verify the minimum and maximum gas supply pressures for the type of gas to be used in  
accordance with the accompanying tables.

Connection to Gas Line  
DANGER  
Before connecting new pipe to this appliance, the pipe must be blown out thor-  
oughly to remove all foreign material. Foreign material in the burner and gas con-  
trols will cause improper and dangerous operation.  
DANGER  
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas  
supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in  
excess of ½ PSI (3.45 kPa, 13.84 inches W.C.) to avoid damage to the fryer’s gas  
tubes and gas valve(s).  
DANGER  
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its in-  
dividual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping  
system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ PSI (3.45 kPa, 13.84 inches W.C.)  
DANGER  
“Dry-firing” your unit will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire. Always  
ensure that cooking oil or water is in the frypot before firing the unit.  
DANGER  
All connections must be sealed with a joint compound suitable for the gas being  
used and all connections must be tested with a solution of soapy water before light-  
ing any pilots.  
Never use matches, candles, or any other ignition source to check for leaks. If gas  
odors are detected, shut off the gas supply to the appliance at the main shut-off  
valve and immediately contact the local gas company or an authorized service  
agency for service.  
The size of the gas line used for installation is very important. If the line is too small, the gas  
pressure at the burner manifold will be low. This may cause slow recovery and delayed ignition.  
The incoming gas supply line should be a minimum of 1½” (38 mm) in diameter. Refer to the chart  
below for the minimum sizes of connection piping.

When using thread compound, use very small amounts on male threads only. Use a pipe thread  
compound that is not affected by the chemical action of LP gases (Loctite™ PST56765 Sealant  
is one such compound). DO NOT apply compound to the first two threads. Doing so may allow  
some of the compound to enter the gas stream, resulting in clogging of burner orifices and/or the  
control valve.  
2. Open the gas supply to the fryer and check all piping, fittings, and gas connections for leaks. A  
soap solution should be used for this purpose.  
3. Close the fryer drain valve and fill the frypot with water and boil-out solution to the bottom  
OIL LEVEL line at the rear of the frypot. Light the fryer and perform the boil-out procedures  
that are described in the “Lighting Instructions” and “Boiling Out the Frypot” topics found in  
Chapter 3 of this manual.  
DANGER  
“Dry-firing” your unit will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire. Always  
ensure that melted shortening, cooking oil, or water is in the frypot before firing your  
unit.  
4. The burner manifold pressure should be checked at this time by the local gas company or an  
authorized service agent. The tables below and on the following page list the burner manifold  
gas pressures for the various gas types that can be used with this equipment.

2.6  
Positioning the Fryer  
1. Once the fryer has been positioned at the frying station, use a carpenter’s level placed across the  
top of the frypot to verify that the unit is level, both side-to-side and front-to-back.  
To level fryers, adjust the casters being careful to ensure the fryer(s) are at the proper height in  
the frying station.  
When the fryer is leveled in its final position, install the restraints provided by the KES to limit  
its movement so that it does not depend on or transmit stress to the connection. Install the re-  
straints in accordance with the provided instructions. If the restraints are disconnected for service  
or other reasons, they must be reconnected before the fryer is used.  
DANGER  
Hot oil can cause severe burns. Avoid contact. Under all circumstances, oil must be  
removed from the fryer before attempting to move it to avoid spills, falls, and severe  
burns. Fryers may tip and cause personal injury if not secured in a stationary posi-  
tion.  
DANGER  
Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of this appliance without  
depending on the connector and the quick-disconnect device or its associated pip-  
ing to limit the appliance movement.  
2. Close fryer drain-valve(s) and fill frypot with water to the bottom oil level line.  
3. Boil out frypot(s) in accordance with the instructions in Section 4.11 on page 4-16 of this man-  
ual.

1. Fill the frypot with cooking oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot.  
This will allow for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill cold oil any higher than the bot-  
tom line; overflow may occur as heat expands the oil.  
2. Ensure that the power cord(s) are plugged into the appropriate receptacle(s). Verify that the face  
of the plug is flush with the outlet plate, with no portion of the prongs visible.  
3. Ensure that the oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the oil is at its cooking temperature.  
3.2.2 Lighting the Fryer  
1. Press the computer ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.  
For CE Fryers  
For Non-CE Fryers  
Placing the ON/OFF switch in the OFF  
position also turns off the gas valve. Wait five  
minutes before continuing with Step 2, which  
will also turn on the gas valve.  
After placing the ON/OFF switch in the OFF  
position, turn the gas valve knob to the OFF  
position. Wait 5 minutes, then turn the knob  
to the ON postion and proceed with Step 2.  
2. Press the computer ON/OFF switch to the ON position and set the thermostat or program the  
computer for normal cooking temperature.  
3. If the burners fail to light, press the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position and wait 60 seconds.

Sensitivity is a built-in feature, which adjusts cooking time to compensate for the drop in frypot  
temperature when a product enters the oil. Different products vary in density, batch size, and  
temperature. Food products will also vary in cook time. A proper sensitivity setting will assure a  
high-quality product. Setting zero is the least sensitive and setting nine is the most sensitive. The  
default setting is 0. Some menu items may need an adjustment, depending on their cooking  
characteristics. A chart is provided on page 4-21 to assist in choosing a sensitivity setting. It is  
meant as a guide only and the settings may be changed to suit different needs. Use caution when  
changing sensitivity, as it could have an adverse affect on the products cooking cycles.

4.11 Boil-Out Mode  
Before the fryer is first used, it should be boiled out to ensure that residue from the manufacturing  
process has been eliminated. Also, after the fryer has been in use for a period of time, a hard film of  
caramelized oil will form on the inside of the frypot. This deposit must be periodically removed to  
maintain your fryer’s efficiency.  
DANGER  
Allow oil to cool to 100ºF (38ºC) or lower before draining to an appropriate METAL  
container for disposal.  
1. Drain the frypot in accordance with Section 5.1 (page 5-1), but do not refill with cooking oil.  
2. After draining the frypot, clean all food particles and residual oil from the frypot and filter pan (if  
so equipped). BE CAREFUL, this material may still cause severe burns if it comes in contact  
with bare skin.  
3. Close the drain valve securely and fill the frypot with a solution of automatic dishwasher  
detergent (or commercially available boil-out solution) and cold water to the bottom OIL-  
LEVEL line.

14. Allow the solution to cool to 100°F (38°C), then drain into a METAL stockpot or similar  
METAL container. When draining is finished, close the fryer drain valve securely.  
DANGER  
Allow solution to cool to 100°F (38°C) before draining into an appropriate METAL  
container for disposal.  
WARNING  
Do not drain boil-out solution into a shortening disposal unit (SDU), a built-in  
filtration unit, or a portable filter unit. These units are not intended for this purpose,  
and will be damaged by the solution.  
15. Add two gallons (7.6 liters) of water. Drain out the solution and clean the frypot(s) thoroughly.  
16. Refill the frypot(s) with clean water. Rinse the frypot(s) twice, drain and dry with a clean towel.  
Thoroughly remove all water from the frypot and elements before refilling the frypot with oil.  
DANGER  
Ensure that the frypot is completely free of water before filling with oil. Failure to do  
so will cause splattering of hot liquid when the oil is heated to cooking temperature.  
4.11.1 Clean Filter Pan, Detachable Parts and Accessories  
As with the frypot, a deposit of carbonized oil will accumulate on the filter pan and detachable parts  
and accessories such as baskets, sediment trays, or fish plates.  
Wipe the filter pan and all detachable parts and accessories with a clean cloth dampened with a  
detergent solution (or the parts can be run through a dishwasher). Rinse and thoroughly dry each  
part. DO NOT use steel wool or abrasive pads to clean these parts. The scratches that result from  
such scrubbing make subsequent cleanings more difficult.  
WARNING  
Use a commercial-grade cleaner formulated to effectively clean and sanitize  
food-contact surfaces. Read the directions for use and precautionary statements  
before use. Particular attention must be paid to the concentration of cleaner and  
the length of time the cleaner remains on the food-contact surfaces.

PROTECTOR® SERIES GAS FRYERS  
CHAPTER 5: FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS  
WARNING  
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of  
the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects  
of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.  
5.1  
Draining and Manual Filtering  
DANGER  
Draining and filtering of cooking oil must be accomplished with care to avoid the  
possibility of a serious burn caused by careless handling. The oil to be filtered is at  
or near 350°F (177°C). Ensure all hoses are connected properly and drain handles  
are in their proper position before operating any switches or valves. Wear all  
appropriate safety equipment when draining and filtering oil.  
DANGER  
Allow oil to cool to 100°F (38°C) before draining into an appropriate container for  
disposal.  
DANGER  
Do not drain more than one frypot at a time into the built-in filtration unit to avoid  
overflow and spillage of hot oil that may cause severe burns, slipping and falling.  
DANGER  
When draining oil into a disposal unit or portable filter unit, do not fill above the  
maximum fill line located on the container.  
Oil must be drained into the filter pan, SDU or another suitable METAL container. (For safe,  
convenient draining and disposal of used oil or shortening, Frymaster recommends using the  
Frymaster Shortening Disposal Unit (SDU). The SDU is available through your local distributor.)  
1. Turn the fryer power switch to the OFF position.  
2. Position a METAL container with a sealable cover under the drainpipe. The METAL  
container must be able to withstand the heat of the oil and hold hot liquids. If you intend to reuse  
the oil or shortening, Frymaster recommends that a Frymaster filter cone holder and filter cone  
be used when a filter machine is not available. If you are using a Frymaster filter cone holder, be  
sure that the cone holder rests securely on the metal container.  
3. Open the drain valve slowly to avoid splattering. If the drain valve becomes clogged with food  
particles, use the Fryer’s Friend (poker-like tool) to clear the blockage.  
5-1  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
DANGER  
NEVER attempt to clear a clogged drain valve from the front of the valve! Hot oil will  
rush out creating the potential for severe burns.  
DANGER  
DO NOT hammer on the drain valve with the cleanout rod or other objects. Damage  
to the ball inside will result in leaks and will void the Frymaster warranty.  
4. After draining the oil, clean all food particles and residual oil from the frypot. BE CAREFUL,  
this material may still cause severe burns if it comes in contact with bare skin.  
5. Close the drain valve securely and fill the frypot with clean, filtered or fresh cooking oil to the  
bottom OIL-LEVEL line.  
5.2  
Preparing the Built-In Filtration System for Use  
The FootPrint Pro filtration system allows the oil in one frypot to be safely and efficiently filtered  
while the other frypots in a battery remain in operation. The FootPrint Pro filtration system is  
available in three different configurations:  
Filter Paper – includes crumb tray, large hold-down ring, and metal filter screen.  
Filter Pad – includes crumb tray, small hold-down ring, and metal filter screen.  
Magnasol Filter – includes crumb tray and Magnasol filter assembly.  
Section 4.2.1 covers preparation of the Filter Paper and Filter Pad configurations for use. Refer to  
Section 4.2.2 for instructions on preparing the Magnasol Filter configuration for use. Operation of  
all three configurations is the same and is covered in section 4.3. Disassembly and reassembly of the  
Magnasol filter is covered in section 4.4.

DANGER  
Draining and filtering of cooking oil must be accomplished with care to avoid the  
possibility of a serious burn caused by careless handling. The oil to be filtered is at  
or near 350°F (177°C). Ensure drain handles are in their proper position before  
operating any switches or valves. Wear all appropriate safety equipment when  
draining and filtering cooking oil.  
DANGER  
NEVER attempt to drain cooking oil from the fryer with the burners lit! Doing so will  
cause irreparable damage to the frypot and may cause a flash fire. Doing so will also  
void the Frymaster warranty.  
3. Ensure that the filter is prepared. See Sec.  
5.2.  
4. Make sure the oil is at operating  
temperature.  
Open drain valve by  
rotating 90º.  
5. Drain the frypot into the filter pan by  
rotating the drain valve handle 90º (see  
Figure 10). If necessary, use the Fryer's  
Friend clean-out rod to clear the drain  
from inside the frypot.  
Figure 10  
DANGER  
Do not drain more than one frypot at a time into the built-in filtration unit to avoid  
overflow and spillage of hot oil that may cause severe burns, slipping and falling.

Figure 11  
7. The filter pump draws the oil through the filter medium and circulates it back up to and through  
the frypot during a 5-minute process called polishing. Polishing cleans the oil by trapping solid  
particles in the filter medium.  
8. After the oil is filtered (about 5 minutes), close the drain valve and allow the fryer to refill. Let  
the filter pump run 10 to 12 seconds after the oil begins to bubble. Turn the filter off.

WARNING  
Use caution and wear appropriate safety equipment when resetting the filter pump  
reset switch. Resetting the switch must be accomplished with care to avoid the  
possibility of a serious burn caused by careless maneuvering around a drain tube  
and around a frypot.  
10. Ensure the drain valve is fully closed. (If the drain valve is not fully closed, the fryer will not  
operate.) Turn the fryer ON and allow the cooking oil to reach setpoint.  
DANGER  
The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a  
fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles can  
spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.  
WARNING  
Do not bang fry baskets or other utensils on the fryer’s joiner strip. The strip is  
present to seal the joint between the fry vessels. Banging fry baskets on the strip to  
dislodge shortening will distort the strip, adversely affecting its fit. It is designed for  
a tight fit and should only be removed for cleaning.

5.5 Draining and Disposing of Waste Oil  
When cooking oil is exhausted, drain the oil into an appropriate METAL container for transport to  
the disposal container. Frymaster recommends the use of the Frymaster Shortening Disposal Unit  
(SDU). NOTE: If using an SDU built before January 2004 the filter pan cover must be removed to  
allow the unit to be positioned beneath the drain. To remove the lid, lift up on the front edge and pull  
it straight out of the cabinet. Refer to the documentation furnished with your disposal unit for  
specific operating instructions. If a shortening disposal unit is not available, allow the oil to cool to  
100°F (38°C), then drain the oil into a METAL stockpot or similar METAL container. When  
draining is finished, close the fryer drain valve securely.  
DANGER  
Allow oil to cool to 100°F (38°C) before draining into an appropriate METAL  
container for disposal.  
DANGER  
When draining oil into a disposal unit, do not fill above the maximum fill line located  
on the container.  
5.6  
Using the “Optional” Oil Disposal  
If the fryer is fitted with the optional oil disposal, ensure the filter  
pan is clean and ready for filtering. DO NOT discharge oil through  
a dirty or incomplete filter pan.  
1. Ensure the oil is at operating temperature.  
2. Turn the fryer off. Wear protective clothing and use caution. Hot oil can cause  
serious injury.  
3. Open the drain valve of the frypot with oil to be discarded. Drain only one  
frypot at a time.  
4. With the frypot drained and the oil to be discarded in the filter pan, close the  
drain valve. Ensure all other drain valves and oil-return valves are closed.  
5. Ensure the oil disposal reservoir is not full and the fryer is properly connected  
to the oil disposal system.  
6. Discharge the oil by engaging the discharge valve handle. The filter pump will  
come on and the oil will be pumped from the filter pan. Turn the pump off by  
disengaging the discharge valve handle when the filter pan empties. Repeat  
steps 1-6 if necessary to discharge the oil from other frypots. DO NOT  
discharge water or other liquids through the filter system.  
7. Refill the fryer with fresh oil.

CHAPTER 7: OPERATOR TROUBLESHOOTING  
7.1  
Introduction  
This chapter provides an easy reference guide to some of the common problems that may occur  
during the operation of your equipment. The troubleshooting guides that follow are intended to help  
you correct, or at least accurately diagnose, problems with your equipment. Although the chapter  
covers the most common problems reported, you may encounter problems that are not covered. In  
such instances, the Frymaster Technical Services staff will make every effort to help you identify  
and resolve the problem.  
When troubleshooting a problem, always use a process of elimination starting with the simplest  
solution and working through to the most complex. Most importantly, always try to establish a clear  
idea of why a problem has occurred. Part of your corrective action involves taking steps to ensure  
that it doesn’t happen again. If a controller malfunctions because of a poor connection, check all  
other connections while you’re at it. If a fuse continues to blow, find out why. Always keep in mind  
that failure of a small component may often be indicative of potential failure or incorrect functioning  
of a more important component or system.  
If you are in doubt as to the proper action to take, do not hesitate to call the Frymaster Technical  
Service Department or your local Frymaster Factory Authorized Service Center for assistance.  
Before calling a servicer or the Frymaster HOTLINE (1-800-551-8633):  
Verify that electrical cords are plugged in and that circuit breakers are on.  
Verify that gas line quick-disconnects are properly connected.  
Verify that any gas line cutoff valves are open.  
Verify that frypot drain valves are fully closed.  
Have your fryer’s model and serial numbers ready to give to the technician assisting  
you.  
DANGER  
Hot oil will cause severe burns. Never attempt to move this appliance when filled  
with hot cooking oil or to transfer hot cooking oil from one container to another.  
DANGER  
This equipment should be unplugged when servicing, except when electrical circuit  
tests are required. Use extreme care when performing such tests.  
This appliance may have more than one electrical power supply connection point.
