FRYMASTER FPD65 SERIES GAS FRYERS

CHAPTER 6: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

6.1.3 Periodic/ Annual

The fryer should be inspected and adjusted periodically by qualified service personnel as part of a regular kitchen maintenance program.

Frymaster/Dean recommends that the fryer be inspected at least annually by a Factory Authorized Service Technician as follows:

Inspect fryer cabinet inside and out, front and rear, for excessive oil build-up and/or oil migration. 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 ensure all connections are properly tightened.

Verify that temperature and high-limit probes are properly connected, tightened and functioning properly.

Verify all component box components (i.e. computer/controller, relays, transformers, interface boards, etc.) are in good condition and free from oil migration build-up and other debris. Inspect component box wiring and ensure all connections are tight and all wiring is in good condition. Ensure all safety features (i.e. drain safety switches, reset switches, etc.) are present and functioning properly.

Verify that frypot is in good condition and free of leaks. Verify that frypot tube diffusers are present and in good condition (i.e. no visible deterioration or damage).

Verify that all wiring 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 quick-disconnect fittings) are present and in good condition. Replace O-rings and seals if worn or damaged.
