to remove all foreign material. Foreign material in the burner and gas controls will  
cause improper and dangerous operation.  
NATIONAL CODE REQUIREMENTS  
This equipment is to be installed in compliance with the Basic Plumbing Code of the Building  
Officials and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA) and the Food Service Sanitation  
Manual of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  
This equipment is manufactured to use the type of gas specified on the rating plate attached to the  
door. Connect equipment stamped "NAT" only to natural gas and that stamped "PRO" only to LP  
(Propane) gas.  
Installation shall be made with a gas connector that complies with national and local codes.  
Quick disconnect devices, if used, shall likewise comply with national and local codes.  
DANGER  
The fryer MUST be connected to the gas supply specified on the rating and serial number  
plate located on the back of the fryer door.  
DANGER  
If gas odors are detected, the gas supply MUST be shut off at the main shut-off valve. The  
local gas company or FASC should be contacted immediately to rectify the problem.  
A. The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the fryer inlet line. This  
fryer is equipped with a 3/4" (22 mm) male inlet. The gas supply line must be sized to  
accommodate all the gas-fired equipment that may be connected to that gas supply. Consult  
your contractor, gas company, supplier, or other knowledgeable authorities.

YSCF14G SERIES GAS FRYERS  
CHAPTER 1: INSTALLATION  
1.1 Gas Connections (cont.)  
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  
lighting 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.  
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 the  
unit.  
B. Rigid Connections: Check any installer-supplied intake pipe(s) and clean threading chips, or  
any other foreign matter before installing into a service line. If the intake pipes are not clear  
of all foreign matter, the orifices will clog when gas pressure is applied. Seal pipe joints  
with a sealant resistive to LP gas. When using thread compound on gas piping, use very  
small amounts and only on male threads. Use a pipe thread compound that is not affected  
by the chemical action of LP gases. DO NOT apply thread compound to the first two pipe  
threads—doing so will cause clogging of the burner orifices and control valve.  
C. Manual shut-off valve: This gas service supplier-installed valve must be installed in the gas  
service line ahead of the fryers in the gas stream and in a position where it can be reached  
quickly in the event of an emergency.  
D. Regulating Gas Pressure: The fryer and shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas  
supply during any pressure testing of the system.  
1. External gas regulators are not normally required on this fryer. A safety control valve  
protects the fryer against pressure fluctuations. If the incoming pressure is in excess of  
½ PSI (3.45 kPa/35 mbar), a step-down regulator will be required.  
DANGER  
When pressure-testing incoming gas supply lines, disconnect the fryer from the gas  
line if the test pressure is ½ PSI [3.45 kPa (14 inches W.C.)] or greater to avoid  
damage to the fryer’s gas piping and gas valve(s).

CHAPTER 1: INSTALLATION  
1.1 Gas Connections (cont.)  
E. Manifold Pressure: Only qualified personnel should check the manifold pressure with a  
manometer.  
1. Check the rating plate for manifold gas pressures. Natural gas units normally require 4"  
W.C., and propane units normally require 11" W.C. gas pressure.  
2. Double check the arrow forged into the bottom of the regulator body, which indicates  
gas flow direction. It should point downstream towards the fryers. The air vent cap is  
also part of the regulator and should not be removed.  
3. If a vent line from the gas pressure regulator is used, it should be installed in  
accordance with local codes or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel  
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-(latest edition).  
WARNING  
Use a diluted soap solution to find potentially dangerous gas leaks when making  
new connections.  
F. Regulators can be adjusted in the field, but it is recommended that they not be tampered with  
unless the part is known to be out of adjustment or serious pressure fluctuations are found to  
exist and can be solved no other way.  
G. Only qualified service personnel should make adjustments to the regulators.  
H. Orifices: The fryer can be configured to operate on any available gas. The correct safety  
control valve, appropriate gas orifices, and pilot burner are installed at the factory. While the  
valve can be adjusted in the field, only qualified service personnel should make any  
adjustments with the proper test equipment.  
I. Flexible Couplings, Connectors and Casters:  
1. If the fryer is to be installed with flexible couplings and/or quick-disconnect fittings, the  
installer must use a heavy-duty AGA design-certified commercial flexible connector of  
at least 3/4" NPT (with suitable strain reliefs), in compliance with the Standard for  
Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69-(latest edition) and Addenda  
Z21.69a-(latest edition). Quick disconnect devices must comply with the Standard for  
Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41-(latest edition).  
WARNING  
Do not attach accessories to this fryer unless fryer is secured from tipping. Personal  
injury may result.  
2. The fryer must be restrained by means independent of the flexible coupling or  
connector in order to limit the movement of the fryer. Clips are located on the back  
panel of the fryer for the attachment of restraints.

CHAPTER 2: FRYER OPERATIONS  
2.1 Initial Start-up  
WARNING  
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of  
the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil frying system, particularly the aspects of  
system operation, oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.  
A. Cleaning: New units are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs  
of dirt, oil, grease, etc. remaining from the manufacturing process, then coated lightly with  
oil. Before any food preparation, wash thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove any film  
residue and dust or debris then rinse out and wipe dry. Also wash any accessories shipped  
with the unit. Close the drain valve completely and remove the crumb screen covering the  
heating tubes. Ensure the screws holding the thermostat and high-limit control sensing bulbs  
into the frypot are tight.  
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 frypots. 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.  
DANGER  
Never operate this appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with  
water or cooking oil/shortening before lighting the burners. Failure to do so will  
damage the frypot and may cause a fire.  
WARNING  
When checking for burner ignition or performance, do not get too close to the  
burners. Slow ignition can cause possible flashback, increasing the potential for  
facial and body burns.

CHAPTER 2: FRYER OPERATIONS  
2.2 Final Preparation  
WARNING  
Do not go near the area directly over the flue outlet while the fryer is operating.  
Always wear oil-proof, insulated gloves when working with the fryer filled with hot  
oil.  
Always drain hot oil into a metal container. Hot oil can melt plastic buckets and  
crack glass containers.  
WARNING  
NEVER set a complete block of solid shortening on top of the heating tubes. To do  
so will damage the heating tubes and frypot, and void the warranty.  
A. When using a liquid shortening (cooking oil), fill the fryer to ¼" below the top OIL LEVEL  
line scribed into the back of the frypot.  
B. When using a solid shortening, first melt it in a suitable container, or cut it into small pieces  
and pack it below the heat tubes, between the tubes and on top of the tubes, leaving no air  
spaces around the tubes. Do not disturb or bend the sensing bulbs. Never set a complete  
block of solid shortening on top of the heating tubes. To do so will damage the heating  
tubes and frypot, and void the warranty.  
C. Press the  
switch to turn fryer on. The burners will initially operate in the MELT CYCLE  
mode until the shortening reaches 180°F (82°C). It will then automatically switch to normal  
operation.  
D. When the frypot is filled and the shortening is melted, carefully replace the frypot crumb  
screen over the heat tubes. Wear oil-proof insulated gloves to avoid the potential for burn  
injury when replacing crumb screen.  
E. Before starting operation, program the computer to the probable working temperature and  
wait for the temperature to stabilize.

WARNING  
Drawings and photos used in this manual are intended to illustrate operational,  
cleaning and technical procedures and may not conform to on-site management  
operational procedures.  
WARNING  
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of  
the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtration system, particularly the aspects  
of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.  
WARNING  
When operating the filtration system, never leave the filter unattended. The action of  
the oil moving through the hose lines could jolt a flexible return hose (where  
applicable) out of the filter pan, spraying hot oil and causing severe burns.  
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.  
IMPORTANT  
Cooking oil/shortening should be filtered at least daily, or more frequently if cooking  
is heavy. This assures the longest life possible for the oil and minimizes flavor  
transfer.

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 frypots. 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.

CHAPTER 5: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE  
5.1 General  
DANGER  
Never attempt to clean the fryer during the cooking process or when the frypot is  
filled with hot oil/shortening. If water comes in contact with oil/shortening heated to  
cooking temperature, it will cause spattering of the oil/shortening, which can result  
in severe burns to nearby personnel.  
Any equipment works better and lasts longer when maintained properly and kept clean. Cooking  
equipment is no exception. The YSCF14G Series gas fryer should be kept clean during the working  
day and thoroughly cleaned at the end of each day. Below are recommendations for daily, weekly  
and periodic preventative maintenance.  
5.2 Daily  
WARNING  
Use a commercial grade cleaner formulated to effectively clean and sanitize food-  
contact surfaces. Read the directions and precautionary statements for use.  
Particular attention must be paid to the concentration of cleaner and the length of  
time the cleaner remains on the food-contact surfaces.  
A. Remove and wash all removable parts.  
B. Clean all exterior surfaces of the cabinet. Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or any  
other abrasive material on stainless steel.  
C. Filter the cooking oil (See Chapter 3) and replace if necessary. The oil should be filtered  
more frequently when under heavy use.  
5.3 Weekly  
A. Completely drain the oil from the fryer into a metal stockpot of sufficient size to safely hold  
the entire contents of the frypot for disposal. Do not use a glass or plastic container.  
B. Clean the frypot by following recommended store operational procedures.

CHAPTER 5: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE  
5.4 Periodic/Annual  
This appliance should be inspected and adjusted periodically by qualified service personnel as  
part of a regular kitchen maintenance program.  
Frymaster recommends that this appliance be inspected at least annually by a Factory  
Authorized Service Technician as follows:  
• Inspect the cabinet inside and out, front and rear for excessive oil build-up and/or oil migration.  
• Verify that the flue opening is not obstructed by debris or accumulations of solidified oil or  
shortening.  
• Verify that burners and associated components (i.e. gas valves, pilot assemblies, ignitors, etc.)  
are in good condition and functioning properly. Inspect all gas connections for leaks and verify  
that all connections are properly tightened.  
• Verify that the burner manifold pressure is in accordance with that specified on the appliance’s  
rating plate.  
• Verify that the temperature and high-limit probes are properly connected, tightened and  
functioning properly, and that mounting hardware and probe guard are present and properly  
installed.  
• Verify that component box components (i.e. computer/controller, transformers, relays, interface  
boards, etc.) are in good condition and free from oil migration build-up and other debris. Inspect  
the component box wiring and verify that connections are tight and that wiring is in good  
condition.  
• Verify that all safety features (i.e. drain safety switches, reset switches, etc.) are present and  
functioning properly.  
• Verify that the frypot/cookpot is in good condition and free of leaks and that the frypot/cookpot  
insulation is in serviceable condition. Verify that the frypot tube diffusers are present and in  
good condition (i.e. no visible deterioration or damage).  
• Verify that wiring harnesses and connections are tight and in good condition.  
Built-in Filtration:  
• Inspect all oil-return and drain lines for leaks and verify that all connections are tight.  
• Inspect the filter pan for leaks and cleanliness. Empty crumbs in the crumb basket into a  
fireproof container. Clean basket daily. Advice owner/operator not to allow crumbs to  
accumulate in basket. Insist they clean the basket daily.  
• Verify that all O-rings and seals (including those on quick-disconnect fittings) are present and in  
good condition. Replace O-rings and seals if worn or damaged.

CHAPTER 5: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE  
5.4 Periodic/Annual (cont.)  
Built-in Filtration (cont.):  
• Check filtration system integrity as follows:  
− With the filter pan empty, place each oil return handle, one at a time, in the ON position. Verify  
that the pump activates and that bubbles appear in the cooking oil/shortening of the associated  
frypot.  
− Close all oil return valves (i.e., place all oil return handles in the OFF position). Verify proper  
functioning of each oil return valve by activating the filter pump using the lever on one of the oil  
return handle microswitches. No air bubbles should be visible in any frypot.  
− Verify that the filter pan is properly prepared for filtering, then drain a frypot of oil heated to  
350°F (177°C) into the filter pan and close the frypot drain valve. Place the oil return handle in  
the ON position. Allow all cooking oil/shortening to return to the frypot (indicated by bubbles in  
the cooking oil/shortening). Return the oil return handle to the OFF position. The frypot should  
refill in no more than 2 minutes and 30 seconds.  
To ensure good fryer health and a safe environment, the fryer should be checked and adjusted  
periodically by qualified service personnel as part of a regular kitchen maintenance program.  
5.5 Stainless Steel Care  
WARNING  
DO NOT let water splash into the tank of hot oil. It will splatter and can cause severe  
burns.  
All stainless steel fryer cabinet parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy water during the day,  
and with a liquid cleanser designed for stainless steel at the end of each day.  
A. Do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers or powders.  
B. Do not use a metal knife, spatula or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel! Scratches  
are almost impossible to remove.  
C. If it is necessary to scrape the stainless steel to remove any encrusted materials, soak the area  
first to soften the deposit, then use a wood or nylon scraper only.
