HIGH EFFICIENCY DECATHLON FPLHDC65 GAS FRYERS
1.7.9 Replacing the Frypot
1. Open fryer doors and remove filter pan (if applicable). Ensure controller and all power
switches are off. Drain and dispose of or store oil from all frypots prior to moving fryer.
Hot cooking oil will cause severe burns. Never attempt to move this appliance when
filled with hot cooking oil or to transfer hot cooking oil from one container to another.
2. Turn gas valve off, then turn gas off at supply valve or meter. Disconnect supply line from
gas manifold at rear of fryer.
NOTE: If restraints are installed on the fryer, disconnect restraints prior to disconnecting the
gas supply line.
3. Unplug fryer from electrical supply source.
4. Remove fryer door for easier access to the temperature probe. First, remove top hinge from
bracket. Then, lift door off bottom hinge pin.
5. Remove the basket hanger from the flue cap by
lifting up and off of fryer. Some units may have a
built-in flue deflector on the basket hanger. Units
with basket lifts will require the removal of the lift
arms prior to removing the basket hanger.
6. Remove the top cap. It is held in place by one
screw on each side of the fryer. If the fryer has a
controller on the front, the top cap may also be
held in place by two screws on the front of each
pot. FPLHDC65 units may have two screws on each
end of the top cap.
7. Remove the joiner strips on either side of the frypot.
Be careful not to bend the joiner strip during
removal.
