DEAN MILLIVOLT GAS FRYERS (NON-CE)
CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2.2 General (cont.)
Dean Super Marathon Series gas fryers are energy efficient, gas-fired units, design certified by
(Approvals Pending), and manufactured to their basic performance and application specifications.
All units are shipped completely assembled with accessories packed inside the frypots. All units are
adjusted, tested and inspected at the factory before shipment. Sizes, weights and input rates of all
models are listed in this manual.
WARNING
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of
the inherent dangers of operating a hot-oil fryer/filter system, particularly the
aspects of fryer operation, oil filtration, and draining/cleaning procedures.

2.3 Principles of Operation

The incoming gas flows through orifices and is mixed with air in the burners to create the correct
ratio for proper combustion. The mixture is ignited at the front end of each heat tube by the pilot
light. Internal diffusers slow the flame as it goes through the burner tube. This slower and more
turbulent flame gives much better heat transfer to the walls of the tubes, thereby heating the oil more
efficiently.

2.4 Rating Plate

This is attached to the inside front door panel. Information provided includes the model and serial
number of the fryer, BTU/hr input of the burners, outlet gas pressure in inches W.C. and whether the
unit has natural or propane gas orifices.
DANGER
Fryers MUST be connected ONLY to the gas type identified on the attached rating
plate.
