Congratulations! You have purchased one of the finest pieces of heavy-duty commercial cooking equipment on the market.

OUTHBEND RYERS GAS SUPPLY AND BURNER INFORMATION Supply pressure should be greater than 7" W.C. for natural gas or greater than 11" W.C. for propane. The fryer has an internal, field-convertible gas-pressure regulator. One 3/4" NPT male connector is located on back (see illustrations on pages 4 and 7).

NSTALLATION Step 3: Install the Legs (or Casters) and Restraints A set of legs or casters is packed with the fryer.

Step 4: Check Clearances and Ventilation Select a firm, level location for your Southbend fryer. Leave clearance, whenever possible, so that access from the rear is possible to permit cleaning. If the unit is to be set on non-combustible flooring, such as a concrete slab, 3 inches minimum toe room must be provided to prevent restriction of the air opening in the bottom of the unit.

A millivoltage circuit diagram is located inside the front door of the fryer. All Southbend equipment is adjusted at the factory; however, pilot height should be checked at installation and adjusted, if necessary (see page 22).

OUTHBEND RYERS Step 6: Check Installation IF YOU SMELL GAS DURING THE LIGHTING PROCEDURE, IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE GAS SUPPLY UNTIL THE LEAK HAS BEEN CORRECTED. The following items should be checked by a qualified service technician before or within the first 30 days of operation: 1.
These procedures must be followed by qualified personnel or warranty will be voided. Southbend Fryers are immersion tube fryers. This is the most efficient method of transmitting heat into the oil. The tubes are actually large heat exchangers. Each tube is heated by a burner at its front that propels its flame and heat into the tube, toward the rear, where it is vented into a flue box.
OUTHBEND RYERS 3. While pressing the knob down, use a lit match to ignite the pilot. Continue to press the knob down for about 30 seconds. If the pilot does not stay ignited when the knob is released, repeat the lighting procedure and keep the knob down longer.
HIGH LIMIT CONTROL Southbend Fryers are equipped with a secondary heat control that prevents the oil temperature from rising above 450°F. (Because of the accuracy tolerance of the sensor, the oil temperature may reach as high as 475°F.)
OUTHBEND RYERS OOKING INTS USER TIPS • Smoking oil means that the temperature is too high, or that the oil has broken down. • Gum in frypot denotes a need for thorough cleaning (see “Weekly Cleaning” on page 18) • Use different oil for oily foods (mackerel, nutmeg, etc.) than for foods with water-soluble flavors (potatoes, onions, etc.).

RYERS LEANING Southbend equipment is constructed with the best quality materials and is designed to provide durable service when properly maintained. To expect the best performance, your equipment must be maintained in good condition and cleaned daily. Naturally, the frequency and extent of cleaning depends on the amount and degree of usage.
SEMIANNUAL CLEANING 1. Examine and clean the venting system. 2. Have your Southbend Authorized Service Agency or another qualified service technician clean and adjust the unit for maximum performance. Consult the Southbend Authorized Parts/Service Distributor list for the Authorized Service Representative in your area or contact Southbend at 1-800-348-2558.

LEANING OUTHBEND RYERS Darkened areas, called “heat tint,” sometimes appear on stainless steel surfaces where the area has been subjected to excessive heat. These darkened areas are caused by thickening of the protective surface of the stainless steel and are not harmful. Heat tint can normally be removed by the above cleaning techniques, but tint which does not respond to that procedure calls for a vigorous scouring in the direction of the polish lines, using SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or a STAINLESS scouring pad in combination with a powered cleanser.
Adjustments and service work may be performed only by a qualified technician who is experienced in, and knowledgeable with, the operation of commercial gas cooking equipment. However, to assure your confidence, contact your Southbend Service Representative for reliable service, dependable advice or other assistance, and for genuine factory parts.
