7-3
Single-Letter Style:
From early-1994 through mid-1997, Dean Industries used another type of serial number.
Serial numbers in this period include a letter after the eighth or ninth number. As illustrated
below, the first set of five or six numbers (shaded dark-gray) are the sales order number. The
next three numbers (underlined) denote the manufacture order for each individual unit (e.g.
001, 002, etc.). The letter (A—L) preceding the unit number is the month of production,
followed by the year of manufacture (shaded light gray). The model number is required to
determine material used in construction. An "S" (not shown) at the end of the model number
denotes stainless steel construction; no "S" denotes mild steel construction.
No information about filtration systems, computer configurations, basket lifts, etc., is
contained in the previously discussed serial-number formats. Field service-technicians or
store personnel must determine what options are present at the time of service. In some
cases, Frymaster Technical Service card files will indicate fryer configuration, but not
always. Configuration options must be confirmed at the fryer location as files in the
Frymaster Technical Service Department only cover a limited range of serial numbers.

Current Style:
Beginning in mid-1997 (current production), Dean Industries revised their serial number
format to resemble the Frymaster serial-number system. As illustrated below, the first four
digits (shaded dark-gray) indicate the year and month of manufacture (98=1998; 07=July).
The two letters in the fifth and sixth position (shaded light gray) denote the class code by
fryer. The last four numbers (underlined) denote the manufacturing sequence for that month.
