NSTALLATION ECTIONAL RYER NSTALLATION NOTICE Installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the Propane Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2, as applicable. NOTICE These installation procedures must be followed by qualified personnel or warranty will be void.
Page 8 NSTALLATION ECTIONAL RYER Step 2: Install Flue Riser The flue riser assembly is packed separately in the shipping crate. Attach the flue riser to the top rear of the fryer as shown in the illustration below. Flue Riser Front Gas Manifold Connection (both sides)
Page 9 NSTALLATION ECTIONAL RYER Step 3: Install the Legs (or Casters) and Restraint 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 8). 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 10 (natural gas or propane). The fryer should be connected ONLY to the type of gas for which it is equipped. All Blodgett Range equipment is adjusted at the factory; however, pilot height should be checked at installation and adjusted, if necessary (see page 24).
Page 11 NSTALLATION ECTIONAL RYER CAUTION 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 NSTALLATION ECTIONAL RYER Step 6: Check Clearances and Ventilation Select a firm, level location for your 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 13 NSTALLATION ECTIONAL RYER Step 7: Check Installation CAUTION 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.
Page 14: Operation
These procedures must be followed by qualified personnel or warranty will be voided. The Blodgett Range 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 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 B16-FR45 units and 65 pounds for model B20-FR65 units.
Page 16 PERATION ECTIONAL RYER AUTOMATIC PILOT VALVE The Automatic Pilot Valve provides an automatic safety shutoff for the fryer when the pilot flame is extinguished. When the pilot flame is burning, the valve is held open electromagnetically by the electrical current from a thermopile in the pilot flame. When the pilot flame goes out, generation of current ceases and the valve closes automatically.

OOKING INTS ECTIONAL RYER 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 20) •...

Page 19: Cleaning
RYER LEANING Blodgett Range 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 2. Have your Authorized Service Agent or another qualified service technician clean and adjust the unit for maximum performance. Consult the Authorized Parts/Service Distributor list for the Authorized Service Representative in your area or contact Blodgett Range at 1-800-348-2558. CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES To remove normal dirt, grease and product residue from stainless steel use ordinary soap and water (with or without detergent) applied with a sponge or cloth.
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.
