03 - Gas fryers

Construction, equipment installed and

safety devices

Robust steel frame, with 4 legs (adjustable in height).

18/10 chrome-nickel steel outer panelling and tanks.

The oil is heated by means of stainless burners (2 per

tank), built to withstand thermomechanical stress.

The pilot burner has has adjustable injector.

The combustion chamber and flues are made of electro-

galvanised steel sheeting.

The temperature is regulated by a static thermal valve

which regulates ignition and extinguishing of the burners.

The deep fryers are fitted with a safety thermostat; should

the oil temperature exceed the limit value, the gas flow is

automatically cut off.

The equipment type B, if not positioned under an exhaust

hood, requires a windproof device, type MITRACF and/or

MITRAKF.

This device should be fitted as per the instructions (see

“Gas venting”).

Attention!

Activation of the safety thermostat means the applian-

ce is not working properly; before using the appliance

again, call the service centre to carry out a careful

check of all functions.

ASSEMBLY

Location

The appliance should be installed in a well ventilated

room, and if possible under a range hood.

If possible, “A” type appliances should be placed under

an aspirator. Type “B” appliances must be fitted with an

anti-wind device.

The appliance can be installed on its own or alongside

other equipment.

If the appliance is to be installed near inflammable walls, a

minimum distance of 50 mm around the sides and back

should be allowed.

If this is impossible, take proper steps to ensure the instal-

lation is safe, such as fitting tiles or heat-reflecting material

to the walls.

Before connecting up the appliance to the gas supply,

check on the data plate that the appliance is fitted for the

type of gas available.

If not, consult paragraph “Running the appliance on other

types of gas”, page 10.

Legal and technical requisites

During assembly, the following legal and technical re-

quisites should be adhered to:

- relevant national legislation;

- local building and fire safety regulations;

- worksheet “Technical rules for installing gas”;

- worksheet “Technical rules for LP gas”;

- worksheet “Gas installations in industrial kitchens”;

- industrial injury legislation;

- local Gas Board regulations;

- current CEI regulations.

INSTALLATION

Assembly, installation and maintenance, i.e.: assembly,

connecting the gas supply, checking power rating, trans-

forming or adapting the appliance to run on other types of

gas, and commissioning, must all be done by contractors

authorised by the local Gas Board in accordance with lo-

cal and national legislation UNI-CIG 8723-7722-7723 law

46 and circular 68 with subsequent updates.

Before doing anything else, seek advice from your Gas

Board.

Installation procedure

To level the appliance correctly, adjust the height of the

four legs.

pliance can either be permanently fixed to the mains or

made detachable using a standard adaptor.

If flexible hose is used, it must be in stainless steel.

After completing connection, check for leaks using a spe-

cial leak-detector spray.

Gas venting

For deep fryers of construction type “A”, connection to a

gas venting system is not required; for ventilation of the

premises where the appliance is installed, observe the

laws in force.

Fryers type B cannot function without the windproof device

if not positioned under an exhaust hood. Standard pipes

must be used for the flue gas outlet connection, according

to the procedures laid down by the laws in force and any

other local regulations.

Combusted gases must be evacuated:

a) by natural ascension to the outside through a chim-

ney;

b) by mechanical extraction through a chimney to the

outside or directly outside;

c) through suction hoods.

Fit the standard anti-wind device as follows:

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

041

03 - Gas fryers

- Place part (A) on the appliance and fix with the relative

screws;

- Insert extension (B) onto the collector;

- Place part (C) on part (A) and fix with self-tapping

screws;

- Fit back element (D) onto part (A) and fix.

- connect the outlet (E) to the fume exhaust pipe.

COMMISSIONING THE APPLIANCE

Before commissioning the appliance

Before commissioning the appliance, remove the protec-

tive wrapping.

Thoroughly clean the work-surface and the outside of the

appliance using lukewarm water and detergent.

With a damp cloth eliminate all traces of the rust-proofing

applied in the workshop then dry with a clean cloth.

Start-up

Before starting the appliance up, check that its specifi-

cations (category and type of gas used) match those of

the family and group of the gas available locally.

If not, adapt the appliance to the gas family or group re-

quired (see paragraph “Running the appliance on other

types of gas” page 10).

To start the appliance up, see the instructions for regular

use.

Testing the power rating

Use the specific nozzles for the rated output (see table 1

in assembly instructions).

The following are the operating pressure tolerances to ob-

tain the nominal power according to the agreed nozzles:

- from 15 to 22.5 mbar for gases of the second family

- from 25 to 45 mbar for gases of the third family

(propane).

The appliance will not work outside the above pressure

thresholds.

If you wish to check the nominal capacity further, you

may do so using a gas meter according to the so-called

”volumetric method”.

As a rule, however, it is sufficient to check that the cor-

rect nozzles are being used.

Checking input pressure (Fig. 2)

Input pressure should be measured using a gauge (e.g.

a gooseneck pipe, min. resolution 0.1 mbar).

Remove screw (19) from the pressure socket and con-

nect it to the tube on the gauge; after measuring, the

screw should be retightened absolutely airtight (19).

Checking power rating using the

volumetric method

Using a gas meter and a chronometer, you can read the

volume of gas output per time unit.

The correct volume will be the value of “E” expressed in

litres per hour (It/hr) or litres per minute (It/min).

The following formula is used to calculate the value of

“E”:

Capacity should only be measured when the appliance

is at a standstill. The heat value can be obtained from

your local Gas Board.

To obtain the nominal capacity in relation to the nominal

pressure, consult table (1) (Gas Flow Setting).

Capacity

Heat value

E =

500 mm

MIN

WARNING

It is not possible to adjust nominal capacity in advan-

ce.

Checking power rating when using LP

gas

Check that the type of nozzles used match manufactu-

rer's specifications.

Check that the output pressure regulator installed colla-

terally to the plant conforms to the specifications laid

down in paragraph "Checking input pressure" page 8

(see data plate or measure the pressure).

Checking the pilot light

When correctly adjusted, the pilot light flame will com-

pletely surround the thermocouple and will not flicker; if it

does, turn the pilot adjusting screw (30 - Fig. 1 - page

11).

Checking the primary air

The devices are provided with adjustment of the primary air.

Depending on the type of gas, position the washer at mea-

surement “A” (Fig. 1) indicated in table 1.

Checking the functions

- Start the appliance in accordance with the

instructions;

- Check the gas tubes for leaks;

- Check that the flame on the main burner lights

properly and is correctly formed;

- Check that the pilot light is correctly regulated;

- Draw up a servicing and maintenance contract.

Note for the installer

- Explain and demonstrate to the user how the machine

works according to the instructions and hand him this

manual.

- Remind the user that any structural alterations to the

room housing the appliance may affect the combu-

stion air supply. Once the alterations have been com-

pleted, the appliance and its functions should be tho-

roughly checked.

Running the appliance on other types

of gas

When changing to another type of gas, e.g. from natural

to LP, or to another gas group, consult the “TECHNICAL

DATA” table to determine the correct nozzles to use.

The nozzles for the main burners for different types of

gas, marked in 100ths of mm, are in a case supplied with

the appliance.

When the appliance has been transformed or adapted,

recheck its functions as described in paragraph

"Checking the functions" page 10.

Replacing the main burner nozzle

(Fig. 1)

To change the nozzle (28), remove the air adjustment (27)

loosening the screw (33), unscrew it from the nozzle hol-

der using a 12 mm wrench and replace with a new one

(see “TECHNICAL DATA” table).

After fitting the nozzle, reset primary air distance “A”

(see “TECHNICAL DATA” table).

Adjusting the pilot burner (Fig. 1)

The pilot burner is readily accessible when the door is

opened.

Unscrew nut (34) and using a screwdriver adjust the by-

pass. For use with LPG, the adjusting screw must be ful-

ly screwed down. Tighten the nut, making sure the ga-

sket has been inserted.

041

03 - Gas fryers

Warning!

- Beware of inexpert handling!

- Old and dirty oil or frying fat can represent a real fire

hazard; make sure only new oil or frying fat are used

each time you start frying.

- The food you intend to fry should always be dry; wet

food causes the oil to foam and overflow.

- Frying excessively large quantities of food at a time

also causes the oil to foam; never exceed 2 kg.

- If the level of oil in the bath falls below the low level

mark stamped on it, the risk of fire will increase.

- Never leave the appliance on without any oil in it. The

lid delivered with the appliance should always be kept

within easy reach. In case of fire, it should be used to

douse the flames.

Preparation for use

Before frying for the first time, it is advisable to thoroughly

clean the appliance and above all the tank (see paragraph

"Cleaning and maintenance").

Filling the tank

Check that the oil drainage outlet is closed. Fill the tank

up to the maximum level mark with frying oil or liquid fat.
