1.11 Parts Ordering and Service Information In order to assist you quickly, the Frymaster Factory Authorized Servicer (FAS) or Service Department representative requires certain information about your equipment. Most of this information is printed on a data plate affixed to the inside of the fryer door. Part numbers are found in the Parts Manual.
Failure to use qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel (as defined in Section 1.7 of this manual) to install, convert to another gas type or otherwise service this equipment will void the Frymaster warranty and may result in damage to the equipment or inju- ry to personnel.
For U.S. installation, NFPA standard No. 96 states, “A minimum distance of 18 in. (450 mm) should be maintained between the flue outlet and the lower edge of the grease filter.” Frymaster recommends that the minimum distance be 24 in. (600 mm) from the flue outlet to the bottom edge of the filter when the appliance consumes more than 120,000 BTU per hour.
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa). 2.1.2.1 Installation Standards 1.
The equipotential grounding lug allows all the equipment in the same location to be electrically connected to ensure there is no electrical potential difference between the units, which could be hazardous. DANGER This appliance is equipped with a special (grounding) plug for your protection against electrical shock and must be plugged directly into a properly grounded receptacle.

The controller controls the fryer after ignition. All Frymaster fryers are tested, adjusted and calibrated to sea level conditions before leaving the factory. Adjustments to assure proper operation of pilot may be necessary on installation to meet local conditions, low gas pressure, differences in altitude and variations in gas characteristics.
These adjustments are the responsibility of the customer and/or the dealer and are not covered by the Frymaster warranty. The inlet pipe at the lower rear of the fryer brings incoming gas to the pilot safety control valve, then to the pilot and main burners.
When shutting the fryers down at closing time, filter the oil and clean the fryers. Place the con- troller ON/OFF switch in the OFF position. Then place the gas valve in the off position. See illus- tration below. Place the frypot covers on the frypots. 3.4 Manual Top-Off, Automatic Top-Off and JIB/Oil Saddle Refill The fryer can be configured for either man- ual top off or for both manual and auto-...

™ ® FQG60T FILTERQUICK easyTouch SERIES GAS FRYER CHAPTER 5: PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE Cleaning the Fryer DANGER The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles can spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.
Daily clean the filter pan and associated components with a solution of hot water and detergent. If you notice that the system is pumping slowly or not at all, verify that the filter pan screen is on the bottom of the filter pan, with the paper on top of the screen. Verify that the two O- ring(s) on the fitting at the right front of the filter pan are present and in good condition.
WEEKLY CHECKS AND SERVICE 5.3.1 Clean Behind Fryers - Weekly Clean behind fryers in accordance with store procedures. Shut the fryer off and disconnect power. MONTHLY CHECKS AND SERVICE 5.4.1 Drain and Clean Frypot DANGER Never operate the appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled to the fill line with water or oil before lighting the burners.
WARNING To prevent injury, ensure adjacent vats that contain oil are OFF and covered prior to performing a Hot Clean (Boil Out) or Cold Clean (Cold Soak). WARNING NEVER drain boil out or cleaning solution into a shortening disposal unit (SDU), a built- in filtration unit, a portable filter unit, or an OQS (Oil Quality Sensor).
5.4.4 Pre-filter Maintenance The pre-filter requires regular maintenance. Every 30 days, or more frequently if the flow of oil slows, remove the cap and clean the attached screen. 1. Wearing protective gloves use the supplied wrench to remove the cap from the pre-filter (Figure 1). 2.

Frymaster recommends that this appliance be inspected at least annually by a Factory Authorized Servicer as follows: 5.8.1 Fryer Inspect the cabinet inside and out, front and rear for excess oil.
Verify that component box components (i.e. controller, transformers, relays, interface boards, etc.) are in good condition and free from oil and other debris. Inspect the component box wiring and verify that connections are tight, and that wiring is in good condition.
5.8.3 Stainless Steel Care DANGER DO NOT let water splash into the tank of hot oil. It will splatter and can cause severe burns. All stainless-steel fryer cabinet parts should be wiped regularly with hot, soapy water during the day, and with a liquid cleanser designed for stainless steel at the end of each day. A.
