HIGH EFFICIENCY DECATHLON (HD) SERIES GAS FRYERS

CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION

2.1Receiving and Unpacking Equipment

A.Check that the container is upright. Use an outward prying motion - no hammering - to remove the carton. Unpack the fryer carefully and remove all accessories from the carton. Do not discard or misplace these, as they will be needed.

B.After unpacking, immediately check the equipment for visible signs of shipping damage. If damage has occurred, contact the carrier and file the appropriate freight claims. Do not contact the factory. Shipping damage responsibility is between the carrier and the dealer.

If your equipment arrives damaged:

1.File claim for damages immediately, regardless of extent of damage.

2.Visible loss or damage: Be sure this is noted on the freight bill or express receipt and is signed by the person making the delivery.

3.Concealed loss or damage: If damage is unnoticed until equipment is unpacked, notify freight company or carrier immediately, and file a concealed damage claim. This should be done within 15 days of date of delivery. Be sure to retain container and all packing materials for inspection.

NOTE: Dean Does Not Assume Responsibility for Damage or Loss Incurred in Transit.

C.Frying systems with built-in filtration: Take off the filter support brace and remove the filter pan from the cabinet.

D.Decathlon four-battery systems: Casters are pre-installed on the frying system and the carton is furnished with three unloading ramps. Remove the braces from the front casters by taking out the securing bolts. Carefully roll the unit down the ramps from the front (cooking side).

E.Remove all plastic skin from sides, front, and doors of the fryer(s). Failure to do this prior to initial fryer operation will make it very difficult to remove later.

2.2 General
