FRYMASTER FPD65 SERIES GAS FRYERS

CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION

3.2Gas Connections (cont.)

C.Manual shut-off valve: This gas service supplier-installed valve must be installed in the gas service line ahead of the fryers in the gas stream and in a position where it can be reached quickly in the event of an emergency.

D.Regulating Gas Pressure: The fryer and shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply during any pressure testing of the system.

1.External gas regulators are not normally required on this fryer. A safety control valve protects the fryer against pressure fluctuations. If the incoming pressure is in excess of

½" PSI (3.45 kPa/35 mbar), a step-down regulator will be required.

DANGER

When pressure-testing incoming gas supply lines, disconnect the fryer from the gas

line if the test pressure is ½" PSI [3.45 kPa (14 inches W.C.)] or greater to avoid

damage to the fryer’s gas piping and gas valve(s).

E.Manifold Pressure: Your local service technician should check the manifold pressure with a manometer.

1.Check the rating plate for specific manifold gas pressures. Natural gas units normally require 4" W.C., and propane units normally require 11" W.C. gas pressure.

2.Double check the arrow forged into the bottom of the regulator body, which shows gas flow direction. It should point downstream towards the fryers. The air vent cap is also part of the regulator and should not be removed.

3.If a vent line from the gas pressure regulator is used, it should be installed in accordance with local codes or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-(latest edition).

WARNING

Use a diluted soap solution to find potentially dangerous gas leaks when making

new connections.

F.Regulators can be adjusted in the field, but it is recommended that they not be unless the part is known to be out of adjustment or serious pressure fluctuations are found to exist and can be solved no other way.

G.Only qualified service personnel should make adjustments to the regulators.

H.Orifices: The fryer can be configured to operate on any available gas. The correct safety control valve, appropriate gas orifices, and pilot burner are installed at the factory. While the valve can be adjusted in the field, only qualified service personnel should make any adjustments with the proper test equipment.

FDP65 specifications

The Frymaster FDP65 is a state-of-the-art commercial fryer known for its reliability and efficiency in high-demand cooking environments. 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.
