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

equipment. It has found wide application in institutional and com-

mercial 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 Equip-

ment 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. Requirements 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 indepen

dent 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 final assem-

bly of food orders. Operators have found that frying from raw to

finish, and holding the product in a warmer provides fast continuous

service. Landing or dumping tables should be provided next to at

least one side of the fryer. Keep in mind the best efficiency will be

obtained by a straight line operation, i.e. raw in one side and finish

out the other side. Order assembly can be moved away with only

a slight loss of efficiency. 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 fire and ruined supplies, the area under the

fryer should not be used to store supplies.

To prevent severe burns from splashing hot shortening,

position and install fryer to prevent tipping or move-

ment. 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 flat 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.

2-4. LEVELING THE FRYER

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 efficient 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 recommend

you consult a local ventilation or heating company to help in design-

ing an adequate system.

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

Consult your local fire 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.

2-7. INTERNATIONAL Units being used outside the United States may not be shipped

ELECTRICAL with the power cord attached to the unit because of the different

REQUIREMENTS wiring codes. The fryers are available from the factory wired for

208, 240, 380 and 415 volts, 3 phase, 50 Hertz service. 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 flexible 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 filter drain pan.

The filter 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.

5. Wiring the fryer is now complete.
