FRYMASTER FPD65 SERIES GAS FRYERS

CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION

3.2 Gas Connections (cont.)

DANGER

If gas odors are detected, the gas supply MUST be shut off at the main shut-off valve. The local gas company or FASC should be contacted immediately to rectify the problem.

A.The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the fryer inlet line. This fryer system is equipped with three 1" (28 mm) female inlets (one inlet per two fryers). The gas supply line must be sized to accommodate all the gas-fired equipment that may be connected to that gas supply. Consult your contractor, gas company, supplier, or other knowledgeable authorities.

Natural Gas

Propane Gas

1/2" (15 mm)

3/4" (22 mm)

1" (28 mm)

(*) When exceeding 18 feet for a configuration of more than four fryers, it is necessary to provide a 1-1/4" (35 mm) rigid gas connection.

DANGER

All connections must be sealed with a joint compound suitable for the gas being used and all connections must be tested with a solution of soapy water before lighting any pilots.

Never use matches, candles, or any other ignition source to check for leaks. If gas odors are detected, shut off the gas supply to the appliance at the main shut-off valve and immediately contact the local gas company or an authorized service agency for service.

DANGER

"Dry-firing" your unit will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire. Always ensure that melted shortening, cooking oil or water is in the frypot before firing the unit.

B.Rigid Connections: Check any installer-supplied intake pipe(s) visually and clean threading chips, or any other foreign matter before installing into a service line. If the intake pipes are not clear of all foreign matter, the orifices will clog when gas pressure is applied. Seal pipe joints with a sealant resistive to LP gas. When using thread compound on gas piping, use very small amounts and only on male threads. Use a pipe thread compound that is not affected by the chemical action of LP gases. DO NOT apply thread compound to the first two pipe threads—doing so will cause clogging of the burner orifices and control valve.

Designed to meet the rigorous requirements of restaurants and food service establishments, the FDP65 combines advanced technology with user-friendly features, making it a top choice among chefs and kitchen managers.

One of the key features of the Frymaster FDP65 is its patented "Fast Recovery" system. This technology ensures rapid temperature recovery after food is added, allowing for consistent frying results even during peak cooking times. The ability to maintain optimum temperatures helps improve food quality and decreases cooking times, ultimately enhancing the overall operational efficiency of the kitchen.

The FDP65 employs a durable stainless-steel construction, making it resilient and easy to clean. The fryer's smooth surfaces and rounded edges contribute to its hygienic design, which is crucial in maintaining food safety standards. Additionally, the unit is equipped with heavy-duty, solid-state controls that provide precise temperature management, further enhancing its reliability.

Another remarkable characteristic of the FDP65 is its innovative filtration system. The built-in filtration minimizes oil pollution, maximizing the lifespan of cooking oil, which leads to significant cost savings over time. The automatic filtration system regularly cleans the oil and eliminates food particulates, ensuring that every batch of fried food tastes as good as the first.

The Frymaster FDP65 features a large fry pot capacity, making it suitable for frying large volumes of food. This capability is particularly beneficial for establishments with high customer turnover and those that require fast service, such as quick-service restaurants and cafeterias. The fryer also has a robust heating element that guarantees a quick preheat, reducing waiting times for both customers and kitchen staff.

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. Its fast recovery system, automatic filtration, and safety mechanisms make it an efficient and reliable choice for any busy kitchen, ensuring that operators can serve high-quality fried foods consistently while managing costs effectively.
