Gas Pressure Fryer Introduction Introduction The LGF Pressure Fryer is compact, attractive and functional in design. It is constructed of a stainless steel fryer pot for cleaning ease. Exclusive BKI patented features and safety devices offer flexibility, efficiency and reliability plus PERFECTION IN PRESSURE FRYING! The BKI name and trademark on this unit assures you of the finest in design and engineering -- that it has been built with care and dedication -- using the best materials available.
Gas Pressure Fryer Introduction Safe Work Practices Do Not Store Or Use Anything Flammable Near The Fryer Your pressure fryer is powered by either natural gas or LP gas. Do not store or use gasoline or any flammable liquids or vapors near this or any other appliance. Flammable materials will burn easily. Letting any flammable liquid or vapor get too close to the fryer could cause an explosion or fire. Serious injury could result.
Gas Pressure Fryer Introduction Keep The Floor Around Your Fryer Clean Of Shortening Make sure to keep the floor around your fryer clean of shortening and other liquids. Serious injury can occur if you slip near your fryer. You could be burned by hot shortening that splashes out of the fryer or by falling against the hot metal of the fryer. Keep The Lid Closed When The Fryer Is Not In Use Hot shortening can splash if someone moves the fryer or bumps into it.
Gas Pressure Fryer Introduction Always Make Sure The Lid Hook Is Latched When Closing The Fryer To make sure the lid hook is latched properly, press down the lid until the hook snaps shut. Hot shortening and steam can escape if the lid hook is not latched properly. You could be burned. Always Tighten The Spin Handle When Closing The Fryer Hot shortening and steam can escape if you do not tighten the spin handle properly. You could be burned.
Gas Pressure Fryer Introduction Keep Away From The Vent Hot steam escapes from the vent continuously when you are using your fryer. You could be burned if you get too close to the vent. Keep this manual with the Equipment This manual is an important part of your equipment. Always keep it near for easy access. If you need to replace this manual, contact: BKI Technical Services Department P.O. Box 80400 Simpsonville, S.C. 29680-0400 Or call toll free: 1-800-927-6887 Outside the U.S.
Gas Pressure Fryer Introduction Be Prepared for Emergencies Be prepared for fires, injuries, or other emergencies. Keep a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher near the equipment. You must use a 40-pound Type BC fire extinguisher and keep it within 25 feet of your equipment. Keep emergency numbers for doctors, ambulance services, hospitals, and the fire department near your telephone. Know your responsibilities as an Employer • Make certain your employees know how to operate the equipment.

Gas Pressure Fryer Maintenance Maintenance Failure to comply with the maintenance below could result in a serious accident. Do not over-tighten the spindle assembly. (Only tighten to hold pressure.) Your fryer will need periodic maintenance and servicing. We strongly suggest that you use only a service company that is authorized by BKI to do this work. The restraining device must always be connected when the appliance is in service. Disconnect for movement, such as servicing or cleaning.
Gas Pressure Fryer Maintenance Safety Pop Valve Procedure The safety pop valve should be blown under pressure periodically to prevent the seat from sticking. Failure to use the insulated mitts will result in injury. Always use the insulated mitts when handling the arm on the safety valve. 1. After the pressure is up during a cooking cycle, use the insulated glove to lift the arm on the edge of the safety valve and let some steam escape. This will clean the valve. 2.
Gas Pressure Fryer Maintenance Filtering Procedure Breaded foods require frequent filtering. An excess amount of breading left in the fryer pot will reduce the life of the shortening. We recommend the shortening be filtered after every three frying cycle loads. When the shortening starts to show signs of foaming and has a bad taste, do not use it. The fryer pot should be cleaned before refilling with new shortening. Best results for filtering are obtained while the shortening is hot.
Gas Pressure Fryer Maintenance To refill the pot through the rinse hose, use the steps below: • Make certain that the rinse hose is connected to rinse hose connector. • Holding the hose by the handle, place hose nozzle inside the pot. Hot shortening may splash out of the pot causing severe injury when filling the pot if the lid is not held down over the hose nozzle. To prevent shortening splashes, hold the lid down over the hose nozzle.
Gas Pressure Fryer Maintenance • Position the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to FILTER and shortening will automatically pump into the pot. • After 1 minute carefully open the lid to check the level of the shortening. • Let the filter continue to pump the shortening until the fill mark in the fryer pot is reached or until air starts bubbling through the shortening.
Gas Pressure Fryer Maintenance 3. CLOSE the drain and fill the fryer pot with HOT water to the shortening level fill mark. Do not overfill by allowing the water level higher than the fill mark. 4. Add ½ cup (4 ounces) of BKI cleaner. 5. Wash down the inside of the pot and lid with the pot brush to loosen the sediment. 6. Set the temperature of the solution as follows: • For an LGF or LGF-F – Position the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to ON. Set the thermostat to a temperature of 190º F.
Gas Pressure Fryer Maintenance Filter Pad Replacement The filter pad must be replaced daily. If the shortening has a milky color when it is pumped into the pot, the filter pad should be replaced immediately. If the filter pad is not properly closed, breading crumbs will get through the pad opening and clog the pump. Ensure that the filter pad is properly closed upon replacement. 1. Place the filter screen inside the filter pad. 2. Fold the end of the pad and seal with the bag clip.

Problem Cause Possible Solution Pressure Loss or Not Releasing Pressure Dead Weight Valve Leaking Clean the weight and orifice. If problems persist, contact an authorized BKI service agent for corrective action. Contact an authorized BKI service agent for corrective action. After a period of time, it is possible that the valve seat and/or plunger may stick or wear.
