GENERAL INFORMATION
The most basic of the Dean fryers are millivolt-operated and thermostat-controlled models.
The Super Runner (SR) and Super Marathon (SM) models are essentially alike in operation,
with the primary difference being oil capacity and physical size. The table below covers the
current production units.
MODEL OIL CAPACITY BTU. FRYING AREA CONTROLS
SM20G 20-23 lb. 50,000 6 ½” x 14” Millivolt
SM35G 35-43 lb. 90,000 14” x 14” Millivolt
SM50G 35-50 lb. 115,000 14” x 14” Millivolt

Dean also produces a model SR38G (Super Runner), economy gas fryer for light duty
applications.

COMPONENTS
Gas Valves
Millivolt units are equipped with a Robertshaw or Honeywell gas valve. Both valves are
powered by a thermopile (or pilot generator) and do not require an external electrical source
to operate. The thermopile is also part of the pilot safety circuit.
Beginning in March 1994, the Honeywell millivolt gas valve was phased into the Super
Marathon Fryer line. Some units (i.e. SM20) may still incorporate a Robertshaw gas valve.
The SR38 fryer has been manufactured with the Honeywell gas valve from its inception.
