47 SERIES GAS FRYERS CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 2.1 General Installation Requirements Qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel, as defined in Section 1.7 of this manual, should perform all installation and service on Frymaster equipment. Conversion of this appliance from one type of gas to another should only be performed by qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel as defined in Section 1.7 of this manual.
One of the most important considerations of efficient fryer operation is ventilation. Make sure the fryer is installed so that products of combustion are removed efficiently, and that the kitchen ventilation system does not produce drafts that interfere with proper burner operation. The fryer flue opening must not be placed close to the intake of the exhaust fan, and the fryer must never have its flue extended in a “chimney” fashion.
DANGER This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection against electrical shock, and must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Do not cut, remove, or otherwise bypass the grounding prong on this plug! DANGER This appliance requires electrical power for operation. Place the gas control valve in the OFF position in case of a prolonged power outage. Do not attempt to operate this appliance during a power outage.
2.3 Pre-Connection Preparations DANGER Do not connect this appliance to the gas supply before completing each step in this section. After the fryer has been positioned under the exhaust hood, ensure the following has been accomplished: 1. Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of fryers without depending upon the gas line connections. If a flexible gas hose is used, a restraining cable must be connected at all times when the fryer is in use.
1. Verify the minimum and maximum gas supply pressures for the type of gas to be used in accordance with the accompanying tables: CE Standard for Incoming Gas Pressures Non-CE Standard for Incoming Gas Pressures Gas Natural LP M inim um 6" W.C. 1.49 kPa 14.93 mbar 11" W.C. 2.74 kPa 27.37 mbar M axim um 14" W.C. 3.48 kPa 34.84 mbar 14" W.C. 3.48 kPa 34.

If the line is too small, the gas pressure at the burner manifold will be low.
When using thread compound, use very small amounts on male threads only. Use a pipe thread compound that is not affected by the chemical action of LP gases (Loctite™ PST56765 Sealant is one such compound). DO NOT apply compound to the first two threads. This will ensure that the burner orifices and control valve do not become clogged. 2. Open the gas supply to the fryer and check all piping, fittings, and gas connections for leaks. A soap solution should be used for this purpose.
Thermostat Controller Calibration (For units equipped with thermostat controls, perform the following procedure) NOTE: The fryer control panel must be opened to perform thermostat calibration. In order to open the control panel the thermostat knob must be removed from its shaft. 1. Fill the frypot to the lower OIL LEVEL line with cooking oil/shortening. If solid shortening is used, it must be pre-melted before starting the calibration procedure. 2.
14. Reinstall and secure the fryer control panel. Loosen the temperature dial plate screws and rotate the dial until the 325°F (162°C) index mark is at the 12 o’clock position, then retighten the screws. 15. Reinstall the thermostat knob with its pointer aligned with the 325°F (162°C) index mark on the temperature dial plate. Tighten the thermostat knob set screws to prevent slippage. 2.
CE and Non-CE Gas Conversion Instructions 1. Between G20- and G25-type Natural Gas, adjust the gas pressure at the regulator. (Refer to the CE Standard Burner Manifold Gas Pressure Chart.) Do not change the orifice. 2. Between a 2nd family gas (G20 or G25) and a 3rd family gas (G31 Propane): a. Change the orifices. b. Change the pilot. c. Change the gas valve regulator. d. Adjust the manifold pressure. 3. Remove the rating plate and install a new one.
47 SERIES GAS FRYERS CHAPTER 3: OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 3.1 Start-Up Procedure 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.
2. Push the knob in and light the pilot. (If the fryer is equipped with a piezo ignitor, repeatedly press the piezo ignitor button while depressing the gas valve knob until the pilot lights.) Continue to hold the knob in for about 60 seconds after the flame appears on the pilot. Release the knob. The pilot should remain lit. CAUTION If the pilot fails to remain lit, turn the gas valve knob to the OFF position and wait at least five minutes before attempting to re-light. 3.
WARNING In the event of prolonged power failure, the ignition module will shut down and “lock out” the system. Turn the computer/controller OFF and then back ON after power has been re-established. PLACING THE FRYER INTO OPERATION CAUTION If this is the first time the fryer is being used after installation, refer to Section 3.2, Boil-Out Procedure.
2. For units equipped with a Thermostat or Solid State (Analog) Controller, set the thermostat to 195°F (91°C). For units equipped with a Digital Controller, set the setpoint to 195°F (91°C). For units equipped with a Basket Lift Timer, press the Boil-Out Mode button boil-out process. to begin the For units equipped with a Computer Magic III Computer, • Press the Power switch appear in the left display. • Enter the code number 1653.

3.4 Controller Operation and Programming Fryers in the 47 Series can be equipped with Computer Magic III (CM III) computers, Basket Lift Timers, Digital Controllers, Solid State (Analog) Controllers, or Thermostat Controllers. Instructions for using each type are included in the separate Frymaster Fryer Controllers User’s Manual provided with your equipment.
47 SERIES GAS FRYERS CHAPTER 4: FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS 4.1 Draining and Manual Filtering WARNING The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures. DANGER Draining and filtering of cooking oil or shortening must be accomplished with care to avoid the possibility of a serious burn caused by careless handling.
3. Open the drain valve slowly to avoid splattering. If the drain valve becomes clogged with food particles, use the steel clean-out rod to clear the blockage. DANGER NEVER attempt to clear a clogged drain valve from the front of the valve! Hot oil or shortening will rush out creating the potential for severe burns. DO NOT hammer on the drain valve with the cleanout rod or other objects. Damage to the ball inside will result in leaks and will void the Frymaster warranty. 4.
2. Remove the paper hold-down ring (and if changing the filter paper, remove and discard the used filter paper). Remove the filter screen and clean the crumb tray, hold-down ring, filter screen, and pan with a solution of hot water and dishwashing detergent, ensuring that all breading and food particles are removed from the pan. Ensure the pan is dried completely. Allow the screen to dry completely before reinstalling. 3.
4.2.3 Operating the Filter Unit CAUTION Never operate the filter unit unless the cooking oil/shortening is at operating temperature. 1. To filter the cooking oil, turn the fryer power OFF, then open the drain valve on the fryer you have selected to filter. 2. Use the steel clean-out rod to clear the drain from inside the frypot as necessary. DANGER Do not drain more than one frypot at a time into the built-in filtration unit to avoid overflow and spillage of hot oil/shortening.
4. After all the cooking oil/shortening has drained from the frypot, rotate the oil return handle to RETURN to start the pump and begin the filtering process. There may be a slight delay before the pump activates. 5. The cooking oil/shortening is pulled through the filter and pumped up to and through the Power Shower, finally returning to the filter pan through the open frypot-drain.
7. Let the filter run 10 to 12 seconds after oil/shortening stops coming out of the Power Shower to clear the lines and prevent shortening from hardening in them. Rotate the oil return handle to the OFF position to stop the pump. Remove the Power Shower and allow it to drain. Turn the fryer on and allow the cooking oil/shortening to reach setpoint. 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.
47 SERIES GAS FRYERS CHAPTER 5: PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE 5.1 Fryer Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services DAILY CHECKS AND SERVICES Inspect Fryer and Accessories for Damage Look for loose or frayed wires and cords, leaks, foreign material in frypot or inside cabinet, and any other indications that the fryer and accessories are not ready and safe for operation.
To view the recovery time on fryers equipped with CM III computers, press the Program Mode Switch . will appear in the left display. Enter (1 6 5 2) using the number keys. The latest recovery time will appear in both displays for 5 seconds.
