  • Page 8 NSTALLATION Step 3: Install the Legs (or Casters) and Restraints A set of legs or casters is packed with the fryer. A threaded pad is fastened to the base frame at each corner (see illustration on page 7). Each leg or caster has a similar mating thread. When casters have been ordered, the casters are provided with a Zerk fitting for proper lubrication when required.
  • Page 9 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.
  • Page 10 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).

  • Page 12: Operation

    These procedures must be followed by qualified personnel or warranty will be voided. All Southbend GFS Series Tube 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.
  • Page 13 2. When the fryer is new, fill the frypot with water and clean thoroughly (see “Weekly Cleaning” on page 18) in order to remove protective coatings and any foreign matter. 3. The recommended solid shortening capacity for the fry pot is 35 pounds for Model GFS35, 45 pounds for Model GFS45, and 65 pounds for Model GFS65.
  • Page 14 In the event the fryer shuts down due to this condition, the oil must be cooled to below 400 F before the pilot burner can be re-ignited. When the oil has cooled, use the “Lighting” procedure on page 12 to place the fryer back in operation. If the problem persists, contact your Southbend Service Representative or the Southbend Service Department.

  • Page 17: Cleaning

    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.
  • Page 18 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.
  • Page 19 LEANING GFS S ERIES 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.

  • Page 20: Service

    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 (or the Southbend Service Department) for reliable service, dependable advice or other assistance, and for genuine factory parts.
