7.4 Periodic/Annual
This appliance should be inspected and adjusted periodically by qualified service personnel as
part of a regular kitchen maintenance program.
Frymaster/Dean recommends that this appliance be inspected at least annually by a Factory
Authorized Service Technician as follows:
• Inspect the cabinet inside and out, front and rear for excessive oil build-up and/or oil migration.
• Verify that the flue opening is not obstructed by debris or accumulations of solidified oil or
shortening.
• Verify that burners and associated components (i.e. gas valves, pilot assemblies, ignitors, etc.)
are in good condition and functioning properly. Inspect all gas connections for leaks and verify
that all connections are properly tightened.
• Verify that the burner manifold pressure is in accordance with that specified on the appliance’s
rating plate.
• Verify that the temperature and high-limit probes are properly connected, tightened and
functioning properly, and that mounting hardware and probe guard are present and properly
installed.
• Verify that component box components (i.e. computer/controller, transformers, relays, interface
boards, etc.) are in good condition and free from oil migration build-up and other debris. Inspect
the component box wiring and verify that connections are tight and that wiring is in good
condition.
• Verify that all safety features (i.e. drain safety switches, reset switches, etc.) are present and
functioning properly.
• Verify that the frypot/cookpot is in good condition and free of leaks and that the frypot/cookpot
insulation is in serviceable condition. Verify that the frypot tube diffusers are present and in
good condition (i.e. no visible deterioration or damage).
• Verify that wiring harnesses and connections are tight and in good condition.
Built-in Filtration:
• Inspect all oil-return and drain lines for leaks and verify that all connections are tight.
• Inspect the filter pan for leaks and cleanliness. If there is a large accumulation of crumbs in the
crumb basket, advise the owner/operator that the crumb basket should be emptied into a fireproof
container and cleaned daily.
• Verify that all O-rings and seals (including those on the Power Shower and on quick-disconnect
fittings) are present and in good condition. Replace o-rings and seals if worn or damaged.
