Congratulations on the ownership of a SOLID STATE CONTROL FRYER. This unit will provide years of excellent service and provide top quality fried food products! The advantages of the solid state control include (1) faster recovery time for either frozen, fresh, or blanched products; (2) a melt cycle option that allows the fryer to heat up gradually, saving shortening life and very critical for solid shortening; (3) a DVI (Drain Valve Interlock) that turns the fryer “OFF” when the drain valve is opened.

Step 2: Install the Legs (or Optional Casters) and Restraints A set of legs is packed with the fryer. Casters are optional, purchased separately. Mounting fasteners are premounted on the base plates. 1. Raise fryer sufficiently to allow legs or casters to be screwed into the base plate. For safety, “shore up” and support the fryer with an adequate blocking arrangement strong enough to support the load. 2. Screw the four legs or casters to the plate on the bottom of the fryer.
Step 3: Flue Installation 1. Unpack the flue box and flue wrap 2. Slide the flue box over the flue and secure it with the two self-tapping screws using a 5/16” socket 3.
4. Secure it with four self-tapping screws two on the back and one on each side using a 5/16” socket ! WARNING Improper ventilation can result in personal injury or death. Ventilation that fails to properly remove flue products can cause headaches, drowsiness, nausea, or could result in death. Unit Must be installed under a ventilation hood All units must be installed in such a manner that the flow of combustion and ventilation air is not obstructed.
Step 5: Gas Connection A 3/4" male NPT line for the gas connection is located near the lower right rear corner of the fryer. The serial plate (located inside the front door of the fryer) indicates the type of gas the unit is equipped to burn (natural gas or propane). The fryer should be connected ONLY to the type of gas for which it is equipped. A circuit diagram is located inside the front door of the fryer.
STEP 6: ELECTRICAL Connection Plug cord from back of fryer into standard 120 Volt outlet grounded outlet. Fryer requires only 1 Amp of current. O PERATION LIGHTING ! CAUTION IF YOU SMELL GAS DURING THE LIGHTING PROCEDURE, IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE GAS SUPPLY UNTIL THE LEAK HAS BEEN CORRECTED. Open the burner compartment door and do the following: 1. Close Drain Valve completely.
CONTROL Box 3. Plug in power cord at back of fryer to 120 Volt grounded outlet. 4. Make sure frypot is filled with liquid or Solid Shortening. 5. Press down the knob of the combination gas valve, turn it counterclockwise to the “PILOT” position (shown), and continue to press the knob down. Robert Shaw 7000BMVR Honeywell VS8200 6. While pressing the knob down, use a lit match to ignite the pilot. Continue to press the knob down for about 30 seconds.
10. The MELT CYCLE switch next to the POWER switch allows the shortening to be gently heated, and is optimized to allow solid shortening to melt without burning, This cycle is 6 seconds of heat with a rest of 35 seconds of flame off. This cycle continues until the shortening reaches 180 degrees F. Then heat will be applied continuously until the selected temperature is met. When the MELT cycle switch is set to ON, the light above it will be lit. FILLING THE FRYPOT 1.
1. Shut off all gas. 2. Wait five minutes. 3. Follow the “Lighting” procedure described on page 11. AUTOMATIC PILOT VALVE The Automatic Pilot Valve provides an automatic safety shutoff for the fryer when the pilot flame is extinguished. When the pilot flame is burning, the valve is held open electromagnetically by the electrical current from a thermopile in the pilot flame. When the pilot flame goes out, generation of current ceases and the valve closes automatically.
! WARNING If disconnection of the restraint is necessary to move the appliance for cleaning, etc., reconnect it when the appliance is moved to it originally installed position. DAILY CLEANING 1. Turn thermostat knob to “OFF” position. 2. Place hot-oil in a safe container under the drain and drain the frypot completely. 3. Remove the basket support frame (if applicable) and flush out any sediment remaining in the frypot with a little hot oil. 4.
There are three tools included with this solid state fryer that can help with daily / weekly / monthly fry tank cleaning and maintenance. These include a high temperature brush, and debris scoop, and a push out rod Push Out Rod Debris Scoop High Temp. Brush CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES To remove normal dirt, grease and product residue from stainless steel use ordinary soap and water (with or without detergent) applied with a sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.
S ERVICE ( F OR AU T H OR I Z E D S E R V I CE T E CH NI CI AN O N LY ) NOTICE Warranty will be void and the manufacturer is relieved of all liability if: (A) Service work is performed by other than a qualified technician (see page 30 for detail) OR (B) Other than approved SOLID STATE replacement parts are installed. ! WARNING Adjustments and service work may be performed only by a qualified technician who is experienced in, and knowledgeable with, the operation of commercial gas cooking equipment.
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING PRESSURE REGULATOR The combination gas valve (includes pressure regulator) is factory set at 4" W.C. for natural gas and 10" W.C. for propane gas. To check the manifold pressure, do the following: 1. Turn thermostat “OFF” and combination gas valve knob to the “PILOT” setting. 2. Remove pressure tap plug from burner manifold located directly below the burners in the cabinet. 3. Install a fitting appropriate to connect a manometer. 4.
CHECKING AND ADJUSTING AUTO SAFETY PILOT The pilot flame should surround the thermopile for 1/2". It must be large and sharp enough to cause the thermopile to glow a dull red, or sufficient to hold the safety valve open. 1. Remove pilot adjustment cap 2. Adjust pilot key to provide properly sized flame shown in diagram B. Diagram A shows an improperly adjusted pilot 3. Replace pilot adjustment cap. TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Likely Cause Burners do not come on Gas supply to unit off.
Connected to wrong gas supply. Pressure not adjusted correctly. Flue obstructed. NOTE: Vibrations or shock caused by shaking or pounding baskets on top surface or by slamming door may cause Hi-Limit Control Switch to open. If this condition persists, additional cushioning may be added to the rubber grommets supporting this control to absorb these shocks.
