Installation, Operation and Care of

MODEL HPGF15 GAS PRESSURE FRYERS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE

GENERAL

Your Hobart Gas Pressure Fryer will produce a uniform, high-quality product time after time. It operates at a low temperature (325°F [163°C]) and high pressure (14 psi). Rapid cooking time increases production and improves energy efficiency, and high-pressure frying preserves food flavor and reduces shrinkage. Up to 15 pounds (6.8 kg) of product may be prepared at a time.

Standard equipment includes a drain pipe extension for the exhaust tank, wooden doughnut stick, 11/4" diameter exhaust pipe, solenoid open wrench, insulated mitts, and flexible cleaning rod. Both legs and casters are supplied with each fryer. Extra O-Ring seals for the lid, the kettle pressure-regulator assembly and the cleaning port plug screw are also included. The O-Ring seals are not covered under normal warranty.

Model HMF50 or HMF85 Filtering System for draining and filtering the oil for Model HPGF15 Gas Pressure Fryer is available as an option.

IMPORTANT: Your pressure fryer must be cleaned frequently or it will not function properly. Follow the procedures in the CLEANING section of this manual.

INSTALLATION

When installing this pressure fryer, the base should remain open at the front to allow air circulation for the gas burner. DO NOT BLOCK THE FRONT OF THE FRYER.

Prior to installation, verify that the electrical and gas supply agree with the specifications on the fryer data plate, which is located on the inside of the door.

UNPACKING

Immediately after unpacking the pressure fryer, check it for possible shipping damage. If this fryer is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.

Do not use the door to lift or move the fryer.
