FRYMASTER FPD65 SERIES GAS FRYERS

CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION

3.1 Installing the Fryer

Decathlon 65 Series fryer systems are shipped in sections. The fryers are uncrated, removed from pallets and assembled together. Important aspects during assembly include aligning and connecting the drain system, oil return system, rinse-line system (where applicable), oil-return switch wiring harness and fryer cabinets. Slight modifications to connecting hardware may be required when assembling the system. The instructions below provide step-by-step instructions to assist the installer in assembly. For this procedure, the fryers are numbered from right to left as follows: Fryers #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 and #6 (where applicable).

1.Open the doors of the filtration fryer cabinet. Remove filter pan from the cabinet. Uncrate fryers and remove the pallet supports. Install ramps and slowly roll the fryer(s) off the pallets.

2.Remove door from fryers to be connected by lifting the door upward and removing the door pin from the bottom hinge. Remove slip-nuts from drain-tees on fryers being connected, lubricate O-rings with vegetable oil and install on drainpipe (Fig. 2). Use care not to damage the slip-nutO-rings when installing slip-nut on drainpipe. Insert the drainpipe into the fryer drain-tee (Fig. 3). Screw slip-nut onto the tee but do not tighten at this time. Position fryers being connected within 6 inches of each other, near the permanent installation area. Guide the drainpipe through the opposite fryer cabinet opening as the cabinets are positioned.

NOTE: When the slip nuts are tightened, the "blue" marks on each end of the drainpipe should align to the outside edge of each slip nut.

Figure 1. Remove pallet supports (arrow) before removing fryers from pallets.

Properly align the drainpipe evenly between the two drain-tees using the "blue" marks on the tube ends to prevent leaks and/or blocked drain valves.

Safety is another priority in the design of the FDP65. It comes equipped with a temperature limiting device that prevents overheating, as well as a high-limit switch that offers additional protection against potential hazards. Ergonomically designed fry baskets and handles make it more convenient and safer for staff to use, further enhancing the fryer’s appeal.

In summary, the Frymaster FDP65 is an exceptional commercial fryer characterized by its advanced technology, robust construction, and user-friendly features.
