    (natural gas or propane). The fryer should be connected ONLY to the type of gas for which it is equipped. All Southbend equipment is adjusted at the factory; however, pilot height should be checked at installation and adjusted, if necessary (see page 24).
  • Page 11 ECTIONAL RYER ALL PIPE JOINTS AND CONNECTIONS MUST BE TESTED THOROUGHLY FOR GAS LEAKS. USE ONLY SOAPY WATER FOR TESTING ON ALL GASES. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS. ALL CONNECTIONS MUST BE CHECKED FOR LEAKS AFTER THE UNIT HAS BEEN PUT INTO OPERATION.
  • Page 12 Step 6: 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.

    ECTIONAL RYER Step 7: 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. The Southbend Sectional Deep Fryer is an immersion tube fryer. 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 15: Shutdown Procedure

    2. When the fryer is new, fill the frypot with water and clean thoroughly (see “Weekly Cleaning” on page 20) in order to remove protective coatings and any foreign matter. 3. The recommended solid shortening capacity for the fry pot is 45 pounds for model P16-FR45 units and 65 pounds for model P20-FR65 units.

    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 14 to place the fryer back in operation. If the problem persists, contact your Southbend Service Representative or the Southbend Service Department.

  • Page 19: Cleaning

    RYER 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 20: Weekly Cleaning

    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 21 LEANING ECTIONAL RYER 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 22: 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 for reliable service, dependable advice or other assistance, and for genuine factory parts.
  • Page 23 ECTIONAL RYER CHECKING AND ADJUSTING PRESSURE REGULATOR The combination gas valve and pressure regulator is factory set at 4" W.C. for natural gas and 10" W.C. for propane gas.
