Electric Auto-Lift Fryer

Specific Precautions

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.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause
property damage, injury or death. Read the installation, operation and
maintenance instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment.
This product can expose you to chemicals including chromium, and lead
which are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects
or other reproductive harm. For more information go to
www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
Follow operator instructions regarding effects of surge boiling of over-wet foods
and proper load size.

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 75 lb (34 kg) of oil/shortening.
