  • Page 12 Replace the deadweight and secure the deadweight cap. 9. Open lid and remove packing and racks from inside of frypot. 10. Remove the protective paper from the fryer cabinet. It is necessary to clean exterior surface with a damp cloth.

  • Page 13: Selecting The Fryer Location

    Landing or dumping tables should be provided next to at least one side of the fryer. Keep in mind the best efficiency will be obtained by a straight line operation, i.e., raw in one side and finish out the other side.

  • Page 14: Ventilation Of Fryer

    Ventilation must conform to local, state, and national codes. Consult your local fire department or building authorities. When installing the gas fryer do not attach an extension to the gas flue exhaust stack. This may impair proper opera- tion of the burner, causing malfunctions and possible negative backdraft.

  • Page 15: Gas Supply

    2-6. GAS SUPPLY 1207 The gas fryer is factory available for either natural or propane gas. Check the data plate on the right side panel of the cabinet to deter- mine the proper gas supply requirements. The minimum supply for natural gas is 7 inches water column (1.7 kPa), and 10 inches water...

  • Page 16: Gas Piping

    2-7. GAS PIPING Please refer below for the recommended hookup of the fryer to main gas line supply. To avoid possible serious personal injury: • Installation must conform with American National Standard Z223.1-Latest Edition National Fuel Gas Code and the local municipal building codes.
  • Page 17 2-7. GAS PIPING (Continued) 1207 (Henny Penny Part No. 19921), which complies with ANSI standard Z21.41, or CAN 1-6.9.

  • Page 34: Filling Or Adding Shortening

    Fire or damage to the frypot could result. 1. It is recommended that a high quality frying shortening be used in the fryer. Some low grade shortenings have a high moisture content and will cause foaming and boiling over.

  • Page 35: Care Of The Shortening

    3-4. CARE OF THE SHORTENING 1207 FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW TO AVOID SHORTENING OVERFLOWING THE FRYPOT, WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS BURNS, PERSONAL INJURY, FIRE, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. Frying breaded food products requires frequent filtering to keep the shortening clean. The shortening should be filtered after every 3 to 6 Cook cycles.

  • Page 36: Basic Operations And Procedures

    6. If the shortening was not filtered the night before at shutdown, it should be filtered now, after the shortening reaches the frying temperature and before the fryer is used. Refer to Filtering of Shortening Section. Model 500/600...
  • Page 37 1207 IF THE SHORTENING TEMPERATURE EXCEEDS 420°F (216°C), IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE POWER AT THE MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER AND HAVE THE FRYER REPAIRED. IF SHORTENING TEMPERATURE EXCEEDS ITS FLASHPOINT, FIRE WILL OCCUR, RESULTING IN SEVERE BURNS AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. 6. Once the shortening temperature has stabilized at the set-point temperature and into the shortening.
  • Page 38 OPERATING ZONE. If it does not recheck the procedures and then refer to the troubleshooting section. 12.

    4. As the shortening drains from the frypot, use fryer brushes (Henny Penny part number 12105 includes both brushes) to clean the side of the frypot and the heating elements (if electric unit).
  • Page 41 After the sides and bottom are cleaned, open the drain valve. 7. If an optional filter rinse hose is available on your fryer, the following cleaning procedure may be used. a. Attach the filter rinse hose with its quick disconnect fitting to the male fitting inside the door next to the filter valve handle.
  • Page 42 3-8. FILTERING OF SHORTENING (Continued) Step 7b Step 7c Step 7f 3-18 b. While holding the wooden handle, make sure the hose nozzle is pointed down into the bottom of the frypot. Pull the lid down over the nozzle, close the filter valve, and move the main power switch to the PUMP position.
  • Page 43 3-8. FILTERING OF SHORTENING (Continued) Step 9 Step 11 1207 9. When the pump is pumping air only, the shortening in the frypot will appear to be boiling. Close the filter valve first and then move the main power switch from PUMP to OFF. This will keep the filter pump and lines from filling up with shortening.

    Hot shortening can splash out. Severe burns could result. The filter drain pan must be as far back under the fryer as it will go, and the cover in place. Be sure the hole in the cover lines up with the drain before opening the drain.
  • Page 48 3-11. CLEANING THE FRYPOT (Continued) 3-24 Do not use steel wool, other abrasive cleaners, or clean- ers/sanitizers containing chlorine, bromine, iodine, or ammonia chemicals as these will deteriorate the stainless steel material and shorten the life of the unit. Do not use a water jet (pressure sprayer) to clean unit or component damage could result.

  • Page 49: Cleaning The Deadweight Assembly

    Failure to clean the deadweight assembly daily could result in the fryer building too much pressure. Severe injuries and burns could result. 3. Clean the exhaust tube with stainless steel brush (Henny Penny part number 12147). 4. Clean the deadweight cap and weight in hot detergent water.

  • Page 51: Reversing The Lid Gasket

    3-14. REVERSING THE LID GASKET 1207 Reversing the lid gasket helps to prevent early failure of lid gasket and the loss of pressure during a cook cycle. 1. Back the 4 lid liner screws (2 on each side) out about 1/2 inch (12.7 mm).

  • Page 52: Lid Lubrication

    Turn the spindle counterclockwise until it stops, line up the lid cover with the cross bar, pull the release pin out, and firmly press the cross bar back into place. The fryer is now ready for use. Model 500/600 1207...

    Turn spindle clockwise until it stops. The lid gasket is now touching the frypot rim. From the front of the fryer, turn the spindle at least 3/4 of a turn, but not over 1 turn. One of the spindle arms should be lined up with the red ball of the latch, at this time.

  • Page 54: Cleaning The Safety Relief Valve

    Use a wrench to loosen the valve from the pipe elbow, turn counterclockwise to remove. Clean the inside of the pipe elbow with hot water. Turn the safety relief valve towards the rear of the fryer when reinstalling the relief valve. Immerse the safety relief valve in a soapy water solution for 24 hours.
