INSTALLATION Before installing the fryer, verify that the type of gas (natural or propane) agrees with the specifications on the fryer data plate, which is located on the inside of the door panel. Make sure the fryer is configured for the proper elevation. Record your fryer model, device, and serial numbers for future reference in the space provided below.
CODES AND STANDARDS The fryer must be installed in accordance with: In the United States: State and local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with: National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI-Z223.1/NFPA #54 (latest edition). Copies may be obtained from The American Gas Association Accredited Standards Committee Z223, @ 400 N.
ASSEMBLY The fryer must be restrained to prevent tipping and the splashing of hot liquid. The means of restraint may be the manner of installation, such as connection to a battery of appliances, installing the fryer in an alcove, or by separate means such as adequate ties. Note: The gas supply pressure at gas inlet should be less than 3.5 kPa.
GAS CONNECTION All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of propane gases The gas inlet is located on the lower rear of the fryer. Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the fryer. The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of ½”...
GAS PRESSURES (ALL MODELS): The gas pressure should be set at 4” W.C. (Water Column) (1.016 kPa) of pressure for natural gas and 10” W.C. (2.54kPa) of pressure for propane gas. If incoming pressure exceeds ½ PSI (3.5 kPa), an additional pressure regulator must be installed. TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM: When test pressures exceed ½...
LEVELING THE FRYER Check the level of the fryer by placing a level on top of the fryer after gas connections have been made. Ensure that the fryer is level front-to-back and side-to-side in the final installed position. If using casters, lock the casters after unit is level.
If the fryer shuts down due to overheating, DO NOT relights the pilot until the shortening temperature is below 300 F (149 C). If an overheating situation persists, contact your local Saturn authorized service office. BEFORE FIRST USE Cleaning New units are wiped down at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, grease, etc.
FILLING TANK WITH SHORTENING Solid shortening should NOT be used with fryers. Melting solid shortening will damage the tank and void your warranty. Close the drain valve. Fill the fryer tank with liquid shortening. Shortening level should be between the min and max lines in the fryer tank. Shortening will expand when heated.
LIGHTING THE PILOT Open the door. Turn the thermostat OFF (see figure below, view A). The thermostat is located behind the door. Push the gas control valve knob and turn to OFF. Wait 5 minutes for unburned gas to vent away. Push and turn gas control valve knob to the “L”...
TURNING ON THE FRYER Set the temperature knob to desired temperature. After the set temperature has been reached, the thermostat shuts off the gas flow to burners. The pilot remains lit. The burners will cycle on and off, maintaining the set temperature. TURNING OFF THE FRYER Turn the thermostat OFF.
Fry Basket Guidelines Do not overfill baskets. (See table for recommended basket capacities below) Carefully lower basket into oil. When frying doughnuts and fritters, turn food only once during frying. When cooking French fries or onion rings, shake the basket several times in a way that does not splatter the shortening.
DRAINING THE TANK 1. Turn the thermostat to OFF. 2. To keep the pilot lit, turn the gas valve to PILOT. Direct the drain spout into the container that you want to drain the shortening into. 4. Open the drain valve. The oil will drain into the container. When the container is full or the fryer tank is empty, close the drain valve.
CLEANING Hot oil and hot parts can cause burns. Use care when operating, cleaning, and servicing the fryer. Daily Clean your fryer regularly with the tank brush along with a damp cloth, and polish with a soft dry cloth. If regular cleaning is neglected, grease will be burned on and discolorations may form.
Remove discolorations by washing with any detergent or soap and water. Use a self-soaping, non-metallic scouring pad for particularly stubborn discolorations. Always rub with the grain of the stainless steel. Do not use a metallic scoring pad or harsh cleaners. BOIL OUT PROCEDURE Weekly or as required: 1.
FLUE VENT INSPECTION When the fryer is cool, inspect annually. Check the flue and clear any obstructions. Service in the US and Canada Contact you local Saturn Service office or address on the front of this manual. Troubleshooting Chart: Problem:...
