Model PFE- 590/592 SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION 1-1. PRESSURE FRYER The Henny Penny pressure fryer is a basic unit of food processing equipment which is used only in institutional and commercial food service operations. P-H-T A combination of pressure, heat, and time is automatically controlled to produce the optimum in a tasty, appealing product. Pressure Pressure is basic to this method of food preparation. The pressure is developed from the natural moisture of the food.
Model PFE- 590/592 1-4. SAFETY The Henny Penny pressure fryer has may safety features incorporated. However, the only way to ensure a safe operation is to fully understand the proper installation, operation, and maintenance procedures. The instructions in this manual have been prepared to aid you in learning the proper procedures. Where information is of particular importance or safety related, the words DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTICE are used. Their usage is described below.

Model PFE- 590/592 SECTION 2. INSTALLATION 2-1. INTRODUCTION This section provides the installation and unpacking instructions for the Henny Penny PFE-590. Installation of this unit should be performed only by a qualified service technician. Do not puncture the fryer with any objects such as drills or screws as electrical shock or component damage could result. 2-2. UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS Any shipping damage should be noted in the presence of the delivery agent and signed prior to his or her departure.
Model PFE- 590/592 2-2. UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) 7. Remove the counterweights from the pallet, which are strapped to the pallet, under the fryer. Do not drop.

Model PFE- 590/592 2-3. SELECTING THE LOCATION The proper location of the fryer is very important for operation, speed, and convenience. Choose a location which will provide easy loading and unloading without interfering with the final assembly of food orders. Operators have found that frying from raw to finish, and holding the product in a warmer provides fast continuous service. Landing or dumping tables should be provided next to at least one side of the fryer.
Model PFE- 590/592 2-5. VENTILATION OF FRYER The fryer should be located with provision for venting into adequate exhaust hood or ventilation system. This is essential to permit efficient removal of steam exhaust and frying odors. Special precaution must be taken in designing an exhaust canopy to avoid interference with the operation of the fryer. We recommend you consult a local ventilation or heating company to help in designing an adequate system.
Model PFE- 590/592 2-7. INTERNATIONAL ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS Units being used outside the United States may not be shipped with the power cord attached to the unit because of the different wiring codes. The fryers are available from the factory wired for 208, 240, 380 and 415 volts, 3 phase, 50 Hertz service. A terminal block is mounted inside the fryer for the cable wiring. A decal on the inside of the right side panel will help in the wiring of the unit.
Model PFE- 590/592 2-7. INTERNATIONAL ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS (Continued) • The supply power cords shall be oil-resistant, sheathed flexible cable, no lighter than ordinary polychloroprene or other equivalent synthetic elastomer-sheathed cord. • It is recommended that a 30 mA rated protective device such as a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB), or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), be used on the fryer circuit.
Model PFE- 590/592 BOIL-OVER PREVENTION IN HENNY PENNY COOKERS FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SHORTENING OVERFLOWING THE FRYPOT WHICH COULD CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS, PERSONAL INJURY. FIRE AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. • THE SHORTENING MAY BE STIRRED ONLY DURING THE MORNING START UP PROCEDURE. DO NOT STIR THE SHORTENING AT ANY OTHER TIME. • FILTER THE SHORTENING AT LEAST TWICE A DAY. • FILTER ONLY WHEN “COOL” IS DISPLAYED.

Model PFE- 590/592 3-5. FILLING OR ADDING SHORTENING The shortening level must always be above the heating elements when the fryer is heating and at the frypot level indicators on the rear of the frypot (Figure 3-3). Failure to follow these instructions could result in a fire and/or damage to the fryer. When using solid shortening, it is recommended to melt the shortening on an outside heating source before placing it in the frypots. The heating elements must be completely submerged in shortening.
Model PFE- 590/592 3-6. BASIC OPERATION Follow the procedure below on the initial start-up of the fryer, and each time the fryer is brought from a cold, or shut down condition, back into operation. These are basic, general instructions. Be sure to follow KFC’s Standards Library when operating the fryer. 1. Make sure the frypot is filled to the proper level with shortening, to the lower level indicator. DO NOT OVERLOAD, OR PLACE PRODUCT WITH EXTREME MOISTURE CONTENT INTO THE RACKS. 22 LBS. (9.9 KG.
Model PFE- 590/592 3-6. BASIC OPERATION (Continued) 4. Allow fryer to heat until digital display shows “DROP”. (Press the EXIT COOL button if the display shows COOL”) The heat cycles on and off approximately 10 degrees before the setpoint temperature, to help prevent overshooting the setpoint temperature. (proportional control) 5. Before loading product onto the racks, lower racks into the hot shortening to keep the product from sticking to the racks. 6.
Model PFE- 590/592 3-7. CARE OF THE SHORTENING FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW TO AVOID SHORTENING OVERFLOWING THE FRYPOT, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS BURNS, PERSONAL INJURY, FIRE, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. 1. To protect the shortening when the fryer is not in immediate use, the fryer should be put into the Cool Mode. 2. Frying breaded products requires filtering to keep the shortening clean. The shortening should be filtered at least twice a day: after lunch rush and at the end of the day. 3.
Model PFE- 590/592 3-8. FILTERING INSTRUCTIONS (continued) ONLY FILTER WHEN “COOL” IS DISPLAYED. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SHORTENING OVERFLOWING THE FRYPOT, CAUSING SERIOUS BURNS, PERSONAL INJURY, FIRE,AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. High volume cooking could cause the cold zone to fill quicker with cracklings and cleaning may be required more often. Part of the filtering process involves removing cracklings from the cold zone of the frypot. 1. Turn POWER/PUMP switch to OFF position. 2.
Model PFE- 590/592 3-8. FILTERING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) 5. Scrape cracklings and crackling ring from frypot and discard. Do not let cracklings drain into filter drain pan. These cracklings can cause a burned taste in gravy. Wipe all surfaces with a clean damp towel. If water drops into cold zone, dry with towel before pumping shortening back into the frypot. Do not bang the pot scraper, or other cleaning utensil, on the frypot rim.
Model PFE- 590/592 3-10. CLEANING THE FRYPOT After the initial installation of the fryer, as well as before every change of shortening, the frypot should be thoroughly cleaned as follows: 1. Turn the POWER/PUMP switch to OFF positioin, and unplug unit from wall receptacle. Moving the fryer or filter drain pan while containing hot shortening is not recommended. Hot shortening can splash out and severe burns could result.
Model PFE- 590/592 3-10. CLEANING THE FRYPOT (Continued) Do not use steel wool, other abrasive cleaners or cleaners/sanitizers containing chlorine, bromine, iodine or ammonia chemicals, as these will deteriorate the stainless steel material and shorten the life of the unit. Do not use a water jet (pressure sprayer) to clean the unit, or component damage could result.
Model PFE- 590/592 3-13. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Cleaning Deadweight Assembly - Daily DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE DEADWEIGHT CAP WHILE FRYER IS OPERATING. SEVERE BURNS OR OTHER INJURIES WILL RESULT. 1. ORIFICE CAP At the end of each day’s usage of the fryer, the deadweight assembly must be cleaned. The fryer must be off and the pressure released. Open the lid and then remove the deadweight valve cap and deadweight. DEADWEIGHT Deadweight cap may be hot.
Model PFE- 590/592 3-13. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Continued) Reversing Lid Gasket (Continued) Be sure the metal arm on the left side of the lid is in the vertical position holding the lid upright, or severe injuries could result. (See photo at left.) 3. Using a thin blade screwdriver, pry out the gasket at the corners. Remove the gasket. Check the gasket for any tears or nicks. If the gasket is damaged, it needs to be replaced. 4. Clean the gasket and gasket seat with hot water. 5.
Model PFE- 590/592 3-13. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE Continued) Cleaning Safety Relief Valve-Annually SAFETY VALVE DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMOVE SAFETY VALVE WHILE FRYER IS OPERATING, OR SEVERE BURNS OR OTHER INJURIES WILL RESULT.
