CF SERIES GAS FRYERS

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.5 Equipment Description

CF Series gas fryers are specifically designed for high volume frying, especially fish, chicken and other breaded products. Models in this series include FMCF, FMCFE, FMCFEC, MJCF, MJCFE, MJCFEC, KJ3FC and J65X variants. (The J65X variant is a drop-in unit without cabinetry.) Fryers in this series may be equipped with built-in Filter Magic filtration systems (FMCF variants), or may be configured for manual filtration (MJCF variants). All models may be configured for electrical power supplies ranging from 120 to 240 VAC.

FMCF, MJCF AND J65X models utilize a combination gas valve to control the burner, but do not require an external AC power source. An AC power source is required for these models when equipped with built-in filtration systems.

FMCFE, KJ3FC and MJCFE models utilize a combination gas valve to control the burner and require an external AC power source. The electrical power supply to the gas valve is controlled by a manually-operated thermostat controller or a computer/controller. The FMCFEC and MJCFEC models are equipped with Computer Magic III.5 computers. The KJ3FC variants are equipped with user-supplied or KFC-1 computers.

All models are of an open-pot design with no tubes and have a hand-sized opening into the deep cold zone, which makes cleaning the stainless frypot quick and easy.

Fryers equipped with built-in filtration systems are shipped completely assembled. Fryers without built-in filtration require installation of legs or optional casters at point of use. All fryers are shipped with a package of standard accessories. Each fryer is adjusted, tested, and inspected at the factory before crating for shipment.

Frypots are constructed of welded, heavy- gauge stainless steel. Heating is supplied by a burner assembly having multiple gas jets, which are focused on ceramic targets located around the lower side of the frypot. The burner assembly can be configured for natural gas, propane, or manufactured gas, as required by the customer. A drain is tapped into the center of the frypot, with a front- controlled manual ball valve.

Each fryer is equipped with a thermostat probe for precise temperature control. The probe is located on the centerline of the frypot for rapid response to changes in loads and to provide the most accurate temperature measurement.

CF Series fryers may be equipped with an optional melt cycle feature, which pulses the burner on and off at a controlled rate. The melt cycle feature is designed to prevent scorching and uneven heating of the frypot for customers who use solid shortening.

The controls on your fryer vary depending on the model and configuration purchased. Control options include thermostat controls, solid state (analog) controllers, digital controllers, KFC-1, Fastron or Computer Magic III.5 computers. Each type is covered in a separate manual provided with your equipment.
