1-1. PRESSURE FRYER The Henny Penny pressure fryer is a basic unit of food process-

ing equipment. It has found wide application in institutional

and commercial food service operations.

P-H-T A combination of pressure, heat, and time is automatically

controlled to produce the optimum in a tasty, appealing

product.

Pressure Pressure is basic to this method of food preparation. The

pressure is developed from the natural moisture of the food.

The patented lid traps this moisture and uses it as steam.

Because the steam builds rapidly, the greater part of the natural

juices are retained within the food. An operation valve vents

excess steam from the pot and maintains constant live steam

pressure.

Heat Heat generated is another important factor of the pressure fryer.

Energy savings is realized due to the unit’s short frying time,

low temperature, and heat retention of the stainless steel frypot.

Time Time is important because the shorter time involved in frying

foods results in additional economies for the user. Foods are

table ready in less time than it would take to fry them in a con-

ventional open-type fryer.

As of August 16, 2005, the Waste Electrical and Electronic

Equipment directive went into effect for the European Union.

Our products have been evaluated to the WEEE directive. We

have also reviewed our products to determine if they comply

with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive (RoHS)

and have redesigned our products as needed in order to comply.

To continue compliance with these directives, this unit must

not be disposed as unsorted municipal waste. For proper

disposal, please contact your nearest Henny Penny distributor.

1-2. PROPER CARE As in any unit of food service equipment, the Henny Penny

pressure fryer does require care and maintenance. Require-

ments for the maintenance and cleaning are contained in this

manual and must become a regular part of the operation of the

unit at all times.

1-3. ASSISTANCE Should you require outside assistance, just call your local

independent Henny Penny distributor in your area, or call

Henny Penny Corp. 1-800-417-8405 toll free or 1-937-456-

8405.

The proper location of the fryer is very important for operation,

speed, and convenience. Choose a location which will provide

easy loading and unloading without interfering with the ﬁ nal

assembly of food orders. Operators have found that frying

from raw to ﬁ nish, and holding the product in a warmer pro-

vides fast continuous service. Landing or dumping tables

should be provided next to at least one side of the fryer. Keep

in mind the best efﬁ ciency will be obtained by a straight line

operation, i.e. raw in one side and ﬁ nish out the other side.

Order assembly can be moved away with only a slight loss of

efﬁ ciency. To properly service the fryer, 24 inches (60.96 cm)

of clearance is needed on all sides of the fryer. Access for

servicing can be attained by removing a side panel.

To avoid ﬁ re and ruined supplies, the area under the

fryer should not be used to store supplies.

To prevent severe burns from splashing hot shorten-

ing, position and install fryer to prevent tipping or

movement. Restraining ties may be used for

stabilization.

For proper operation, level the fryer from side to side and front

to back, using level on the ﬂ at areas around the frypot collar.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE LEVELING

INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SHORTENING

OVERFLOWING THE FRYPOT WHICH COULD

CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS, PERSONAL INJURY,

FIRE AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Model PFE- 591

2-5. VENTILATION OF FRYER The fryer should be located with provision for venting into

adequate exhaust hood or ventilation system. This is essential

to permit efﬁ cient removal of steam exhaust and frying odors.

Special precaution must be taken in designing an exhaust canopy

to avoid interference with the operation of the fryer. We recom-

mend you consult a local ventilation or heating company to help

in designing an adequate system.

Ventilation must conform to local, state, and national codes.

Consult your local ﬁ re department or building authorities.

2-6. ELECTRICAL The electric fryer requires 208 or 240 volt, three phase, 50/60

REQUIREMENTS Hertz service. The power cord may be already attached to the

fryer, or provided at installation. Check the data plate mounted

just above the lid, on the left side of the back shroud, to determine

the correct power supply.

This fryer must be adequately and safely grounded

(earthed) or electrical shock could result. Refer to local

electrical codes for correct grounding (earthing) proce-

dures or in absence of local codes, with The National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-(the current edi-

tion). In Canada, all electrical connections are to be

made in accordance with CSA C22.1, Canadian Electri-

cal Code Part 1, and/or local codes.

To avoid electrical shock, this appliance must be

equipped with an external circuit breaker which will

disconnect all ungrounded (unearthed) conductors. The

main power switch on this appliance does not disconnect

all line conductors.

A separate disconnect switch with proper capacity fuses or break-

ers must be installed at a convenient location between the fryer

and the power source. It should be an insulated copper conductor

rated for 600 volts and 90

o

C. For runs longer than 50 feet

(15.24 m) use the next larger wire size.

ELECTRICAL with the power cord attached to the unit because of the differ-

REQUIREMENTS ent wiring codes. The fryers are available from the factory

wired for 208, 240, 380 and 415 volts, 3 phase, 50 Hertz ser-

vice. A terminal block is mounted inside the fryer for the cable

wiring. A decal on the inside of the right side panel will help

in the wiring of the unit.

CE units require a minimum wire size of 4mm to be wired

to the terminal block. If a ﬂ exible power cord is used, it

must be HO7RN type.

To install the power cord, follow these procedures:

1. Remove the right side panel of the unit.

2. Install the cord, with a strain relief, to the junction box.

3. Attach the wires to the terminal block according to the

wiring diagram on the side panel.

4. Pull the slack out of the cord and thread it down through

the the clamp on the frame, at the rear, left leg of fryer.

Then run the cable under the frame and out the rear of the

fryer, so it doesn’t interfere with the ﬁ lter drain pan.

The ﬁ lter drain pan must be as far back under fryer as

it will go, and the cover in place. Be sure the hole in the

cover lines up with the drain before opening the drain.

Failure to follow these instructions causes splashing of

shortening and could result in personal injury.
