SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION 1-1. The Henny Penny open fryer is a basic unit of food processing equipment. This unit is used only in institutional and commercial INTRODUCTION food service operations. As of August 16, 2005, the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment directive went into effect for the European Union.
The instructions in this manual have been prepared to aid you in learning 1-4. the proper procedures for your equipment. Where information is of SAFETY particular importance or is safety related, the words NOTICE, CAUTION, or WARNING are used. Their usage is described below. If a problem occurs during the first operation of a new unit, recheck the Installation Section of the Operator’s Manual.
SECTION 2: INSTALLATION This section provides the installation and unpacking instructions 2-1. for the Henny Penny PFG-391. INTRODUCTION Installation of this unit should be performed only by a qualified service technician. Do not puncture the fryer with any objects such as drills or screws as electrical shock or component damage could result.

(8.1 KG) - HANDLE WITH CARE ALL SEGMENTS ARE IDENTICAL. ALL SEGMENTS MUST BE INSTALLED AND SECURED IN THE FRAM BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO UNLATCH LID.
The proper location of the fryer is very important for operation, 2-3. speed, and convenience. Choose a location which provides SELECTING THE easy loading and unloading without interfering with the final FRYER LOCATION assembly of food orders. Operators have found that frying from raw to finish, and holding the product in warmer provides fast continuous service.
The fryer should be located with provision for venting into 2-5. adequate exhaust hood or ventilation system. This is essential VENTILATION OF to permit efficient removal of the flue gases and frying odors. FRYER Special precaution must be taken in designing an exhaust canopy to avoid interference with the operation of the fryer.

GAS PIPING CABLE RESTRAINT Please refer to the illustration below MINIMUM PULL of equipment when installing cable restraint on all AVOID SHARP BENDS AND KINKS when away from wall permissible pulling equipment away from wall. (Maximum moveable gas fryers. for accessibility to Quick pull will kink ends, even if installed properl y , Disconnect Device and reduce Connector life.)
2-8. GAS LEAK TEST Prior to turning the gas supply on, be sure the gas valve knob on the gas control valve is in the OFF position. The word “OFF” is at the bottom of the knob when the valve is closed. After the piping and fittings have been installed, check for gas leaks.
Page 19
2-9. GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR MEASURING GAS PRESSURE SETTING (CONT.) Locate the pressure tap hole or fitting on the side of the gas valve. Remove the pipe plug from the valve or fitting circled in Figure 1. Screw a pressure tap fitting into the valve or the fitting on the side of the valve circled in Figure 2.
The gas fryer requires 120 volt, single phase 60 Hertz, 10 amp, 2-10. 3 wire grounded (earthed) service, or 230 volt, single phase, 50 ELECTRICAL Hertz service. The 120 volt gas fryer is factory equipped with a grounded (earthed) cord and plug for your protection against REQUIREMENTS shock, and should be plugged into a 3 prong grounded (earthed) receptacle.

3-5. FILLING OR The shortening level must always be above the burner ADDING tubes when the fryer is heating and at the frypot level SHORTENING indicators on the rear of the frypot (See photo below). Failure to follow these instructions could result in a fire and/or damage to the fryer.
3-6. The rack positions are referenced starting at the bottom: PRODUCT RACKING\ Load Type RECOMMENDATIONS The bottom position is to be avoided on small loads because it is closer to the cold zone. (The oil is cooler at the bottom of the frypot and hotter at the top.) With bigger loads, however, there is generally enough turbulence in the oil that the bottom rack gets sufficient heat.
Follow the procedures below on the initial start-up of the fryer, 3-6. and each time the fryer is brought from a cold, or shut down BASIC OPERATION condition. Make sure the frypot is filled with shortening to the 2 lower level indicators.

CESSIVE SMOKING OR FOAMING. SERIOUS BURNS, PERSONAL INJURY, FIRE, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE COULD RESULT. The Henny Penny gas 8 head fryer, Model OFG-391, must be 3-9. cleaned and the shortening filtered at least twice daily; after lunch rush and at the end of the day.
Page 35
3-9. FILTERING INSTRUCTIONS ONLY FILTER WHEN THE SHORTENING (CONT.) TEMPERATURE IS LESS THAN 275° F (135° C). FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SHORENNG OVERFLOWING THE FRYPOT, CAUSING SERIOUS BURNS, PERSONAL INJURY, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. High-volume cooking could cause the cold zone to fill quicker with cracklings, and cleaning may be required more often.
Page 36
3-9. FILTERING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.) BRUSH ALL CRACKLINGS FROM FRYPOT SURFACES AND THE COLD ZONE DURING THE FILTERING PROCESS. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN SHORTENING OVERFLOWING THE FRYPOT, WHICH COULD CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS, PERSONAL INJURY, FIRE, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. When all of the shortening has drained, scrape or brush the sides and bottom of the frypot, and swing drain valve handle to the closed position.
Rinse the frypot interior. Especially work on hard-to- 3-9. clean areas, like the frypot bottom and burner tubes. FILTERING INSTRUCTIONS After thorough rinsing with shortening, close the drain (CONT.) valve. Turn the COOK/PUMP switch to the OFF position. ONLY CONNECT AND DISCONNECT THE FILTER RINSE HOSE WHEN THE MAIN POWER SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION.
