BIRE14/MRE14 SERIES E4 ELECTRIC FRYER

CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1General

Read the instructions in this manual thoroughly before attempting to operate this equipment. This manual covers all configurations of McDonald’s RE14 models. The fryers in this model family have most parts in common, and when discussed as a group, will be referred to as “RE14” fryers.

Although similar in appearance to the PH14 McDonald’s electric fryers, the RE14 fryers feature a significantly different rotating element with an enhanced design. The Euro-Look design incorporates a rounded topcap and a large round drain, which ensures that fries and other debris, will be washed into the filter pan. Other features, including the deep cold-zones and easy to clean, open frypots remain essentially unchanged. The RE14 fryers are controlled with the M2000 computer. Fryers in this series come in full- or split-vat arrangements, and can be purchased as single units or in batteries of up to five fryers.
