CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2.1 Product Description
Dean Triathlon Series gas fryers are energy-efficient, tube-style, gas-fired tabletop units, design-
certified by the International Approval Services (AGA/CGA), National Sanitation Foundation
(NSF), and manufactured to their basic performance and application specifications.
All units are shipped completely assembled with accessories packed inside the fryer vessel. All units
are adjusted, tested and inspected at the factory before shipment.
NOTE: The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of inherent
dangers of operating a deep fat fryer, particularly aspects of oil filtration, draining, and
cleaning of the fryer.
2.2 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. A flame spreader slows 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
better.
2.3 Rating Plate
The rating plate is found on the right-side panel of the fryer. Information provided includes the
model and serial number of the fryer, BTU/hr input of the burners, outlet gas pressure in inches
W.C. (mbars) and whether the unit has natural or propane gas orifices.
Fryers MUST be connected ONLY to the gas type identified on the attached rating
2.4 Pre-Installation
A. General: Only a licensed gas fitter should install any gas-fired equipment.
1. A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed in the gas supply line ahead of the fryers for
safety and ease of future service.
