UNPACKING 

Check that the container is upright. Use an outward prying motion – 

DO NOT USE A HAMMER 

- to remove the carton. 

Check the fryer for visible damage; if such damage has occurred do not refuse shipment, but contact the carrier and file the 
appropriate freight claims. 

INSTALLING 

Roll the assembled fryer into the building, to its operating location. 

 
LEVELING 

1. 

When the fryer is placed in its operating location check to be sure it is level. If not, loosen the casters and insert the appro-
priate number of shim plates between leg and caster plates then retighten the caster bolts.  

2. 

If the floor is smooth and level, adjust to the high corner and measure with a spirit level. If the floor is uneven or has a 

decided slope, level the unit with metal shims. 

3. 

Leveling will assure that each vat contains the same amount of shortening when checked at the shortening level mark on 
the rear wall of the fryer vat. 

NOTE: 

A caster may not return exactly to the same position after being moved, which may require re-leveling after each move. 

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION 

Each Model F-E21-14 Electric Fryer is wired internally to operate on 208 or 240 volt 3 phase electrical power as shown on the 
fryer. The 208 or 240 volt 3 phase circuit of the fryer is internally wired to the Fryer Electrical Box Assy which is to be used to 
connect to the building power source. It is ESSENTIAL that the 208 or 240 volt electrical receptacle is located within 8 feet of 
the fryer location and that provisions are made so that the fryer can be moved to service fryer from the rear. Electrical connec-
tions to the fryer should be made by a licensed electrician and they must conform to the NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE as 
well as to local electrical codes and/or ordinances. 
To avoid electrical hazards and assure proper operation of the electric fryer, the following precautions should be oserved 
during installation: 
 

 MATCH 

VOLTAGE 

Before connecting electrical power, insure the line voltage matches the voltage rating on the fryer. 

 CIRCUIT 

BREAKERS 

The fryer must be connected to a circuit having shunt-trip circuit breakers sized in accordance with requirements of 

the National Electrical Code as well as local codes and ordinances. 

GROUNDING 

 The 

fryer 

MUST 

be grounded to the building ground system according to the National Electrical 

Code and local codes/ordinances. 

F

IRE PROTECTION 

The fryer should be installed beneath a powered exhaust hood which complies with NFPA96 standards 

that is equipped with an approved Fire Suppression System designed to automatically shut-off all sources of electrical 

power to the fryer in case of a vat fire

. 

 CLEARANCES 

The Model F-E21-14 Electric Fryer 

MUST

 be kept free and clear of all combustibles. The 

MINIMUM

clearances from combustible and non-combustible construction is 6" (152 mm) from the sides and 6" (152 mm) from 

the rear of the fryer. The fryer may be installed on combustible floors.
