Electric Pressure Fryer
Specific Precautions
Lids for FKM Pressure Fryers manufactured prior to May 27, 1980 (or units with
serial numbers lower than 3613) could be manually opened while under pressure
resulting in serious injury or death. If you have one of these units, please contact
the BKI Technical Services Department toll-free at 1-800-927-6887 for urgent
update information.
Risk of fire exists if the oil level drops below 5mm of the maximum oil level.
Use of oil/shortening older than the manufacturers recommendations for life of
the oil is prone to surge boiling and flash fires. Follow the oil manufacturers
guidelines for the life cycle of oil/shortening.
Do not open the drain valve or the fill valve while the fryer is under pressure.
Serious burns may result.
Follow instructions regarding effects of surge boiling of over-wet foods and
proper load size.
This unit incorporates components that contain Mercury. The use of Mercury
relays is an industry standard.
Equipotential ground plane
When a high current flows through a conductor, differences in potential appear
between the conductor and nearby metallic surfaces near the appliance. As a
result, sparks may be produced between the appliance and surrounding metal
surfaces. These sparks could cause serious injury, damage, or fire.
BKI provides an Equipotential ground terminal for the connection of a bonding
conductor after the installation of the appliance per lEC60417-1. This terminal is
located on the inside of the Power Entry Supply box near the Earth connection
and is marked with this symbol.
Full Disconnection
In accordance with Local and/or National wiring codes, the installer must provide
a means of full disconnection under over voltage Category III conditions. An IEC
approved cord and plug combination will meet this requirement.
Units not provided with a cord and plug do not meet this requirement. In
accordance with Local and/or National wiring codes, the installer must provide
the means of full disconnection.
The fryer is designed to hold a maximum of 75lbs (34KG) of oil/shortening.
