CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION 2.4 Pre-Installation (cont.) 2. Frymaster BID80 Series gas fryers require 120VAC 60 cycle or 230VAC single-phase 50- hertz (International/CE) electrical service and are equipped with a 16-3 SJT grounded flexible power cord for a direct connection to the power supply. Amperage draw for each unit depends on the accessories supplied with the unit/system.
NOTE: Frymaster Does Not Assume Responsibility for Damage or Loss Incurred in Transit. C. Remove all plastic skin from sides, front, and doors of the fryer(s). Failure to do this prior to initial fryer operation will make it very difficult to remove later.
A. Initial Installation: If the fryer is installed with legs, do not push the fryer to adjust its position. Use a pallet or lift jack to lift the fryer slightly, then place the fryer where it is to be installed.
3.3 Installing Casters and Legs A. Install casters and/or legs near where the fryer is to be used, as neither is secure for long transit. BID80 Series gas fryers cannot be curb mounted and must be equipped with either legs or casters provided.
FASC should be contacted immediately to rectify the problem. A. The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the fryer inlet line. This fryer is equipped with a 3/4" (19 mm) male inlet. The gas supply line must be sized to accommodate all the gas-fired equipment that may be connected to that gas supply.
Page 16
D. Regulating Gas Pressure: The fryer and shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply during any pressure testing of the system.
Page 17
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.
DO NOT CUT, REMOVE, OR OTHERWISE BYPASS THE GROUNDING The rating plate and wiring diagram are located inside the front door. The fryer is equipped with a 120VAC single-phase 60-hertz system (Domestic), or 230VAC single-phase 50-hertz system (International/CE).
Ensure the screws holding the thermostat and high-limit control sensing bulbs into the frypot are tight. 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.
Never leave the fryer unattended during the boil-out process. If the boil-out solution boils over, turn the fryer off immediately and let the solution cool for a few minutes before resuming the process. To lessen the chance of boil over, turn the fryer’ s gas valve knob to the PILOT position occasionally.
C. Press the switch. D. Enter temperature is automatically set for 195 F (91 C). The fryer will attain this temperature and remain there until either altitude locations, constantly monitor the fryer for over boil. If over-boil occurs, turn off fryer immediately, allow to cool, and re-enter boil-out mode to continue the boil-out operation.

NEVER set a complete block of solid shortening on top of the heating tubes. To do so will damage the heating tubes and frypot, and void the warranty. A. When using a liquid shortening (cooking oil), fill the fryer to the bottom OIL LEVEL line scribed into the back of the frypot.
BID80 SERIES GAS FRYERS CHAPTER 5: BUILT-IN FILTRATION WARNING Drawings and photos used in this manual are intended to illustrate operational, cleaning and technical procedures and may not conform to on-site management operational procedures. WARNING The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtration system, particularly the aspects of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.
CHAPTER 5: BUILT-IN FILTRATION 5.1 General Frymaster BID80 Series fryers come equipped with a built-in filtration system. Photos used in the procedural illustrations may differ slightly from the filter unit that came with the frying system. The following procedures apply to all BID80 Series fryers equipped with built-in filter systems.
5.2.1 Assembling the Filter The BID80 Series filter system uses filter paper held in place by a hold-down ring to filter impurities and debris from the cooking medium. The filter pan is assembled with the following components (see illustration below): 1.
Page 26
Ensure the hold-down ring seals around the support grid. This prevents air from getting into the system. BID80 SERIES GAS FRYERS Support grid properly placed in filter pan. Ensure filter paper overlaps two inches on all sides and is evenly distributed under the hold- down ring.
Page 27
6. Place filter pan covers (2) onto the filter pan assembly. Ensure the front cover is correctly positioned over the slip fitting. BID80 SERIES GAS FRYERS Sprinkle the proper amount of filter powder evenly over the paper. Crumb screen properly placed.
10-15 seconds after bubbles appear in the frypot to ensure all shortening/oil is pumped from the drain pan and the lines. BID80 SERIES GAS FRYERS The filter pan slides under the fryer (left), connecting with a slip fitting (right). Slip fitting location will vary (above or to the side of the filter pan), according to fryer system.
Wear all appropriate safety equipment when draining and filtering cooking oil or Allow oil/shortening to cool to 100°F (38°C) before draining into an appropriate BID80 SERIES GAS FRYERS DANGER shortening.
Page 30
NEVER attempt to drain cooking oil or shortening from the fryer with the burner lit! Doing so will result in a flash fire if the oil or shortening splashes onto the burner.
Page 31
5.4.2 Filter Operation NEVER operate the filter unit unless cooking oil/shortening is at operating 1. Turn the fryer off. Ensure the filter pan assembly is prepared as described in Section 5.2.1– Assembling the Filter. 2. Remove fry baskets from frypot. Prior to filtering, skim any large debris from the shortening/oil.
