FRYMASTER FPD65 SERIES GAS FRYERS CHAPTER 5: FILTRATION OPERATION

5.4.1 Filter Operation (cont.)

14.OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT: Drain-flushes are included on 5-battery and larger Frymaster FPD65 Series fryers. After filtering frypot farthest from the filter system for 10 minutes, close the oil return valve to stop the filtering process. Do not refill the frypot. Close the drain valve (red handle) on the frypot being filtered. Ensure all other valves (red and yellow handles) are closed. Pull the blue handle to open the flush valve (6-battery systems have two). After the drain line is clear of sediment (approximately 2 minutes), push the blue handle to close flush valve. Open the oil-return valve (yellow handle) to refill the frypot.

15.OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT: Shortening

Disposal: Follow store procedures when disposing of spent shortening. Ensure the Shortening Disposal System is properly connected and working properly before proceeding. Turn the blue handle on the wand/dispose valve to "DISPOSE" to start the disposal process. Turn the blue handle to "OFF" when the disposal process for that frypot is complete.

DANGER

The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles can spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.

WARNING

Do not bang fry baskets or other utensils on the fryer’s joiner strip. The strip is present to seal the joint between the frypots. Banging fry baskets on the strip to dislodge shortening will distort the strip, adversely affecting its fit. It is designed for a tight fit and should only be removed for cleaning.

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.
