SECTION A – INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A1 – Unpacking – With the container upright cut the plastic straps around shipping container and lift off top, exposing
Fryer. Check Fryer for any visible change due to exceptionally rough handling during shipping. Report damage to
the delivering Freight Carrier within 15 days of delivery.
A2 – Accessories shipped in the vessel include: Accessories available as optional:
1 – Basket Hanger 1 – Tank Cover
2 – Baskets 1 – Large Basket
1 – Drain Pipe Extension 4 – Swivel Casters (2w/Locks)
4 – 6 inch Adjustable Legs 1 – Quick Disconnect Connector, 48’’ w/restraint
A3 - Mounting of Legs or Casters – Carefully tip Fryer back and screw legs or (optional) casters into the threaded base
of Fryer. When installing casters make sure the swivel lock casters are mounted towards the front of the fryer. A high
strength Restrainer and Quick Disconnect Gas Connecter must be installed when casters are used. Avoid putting
any strain on rear legs or casters when tipping fryer back to an upright position.
A4 – Pre-Installation Instructions – The installation of your Fryer must be made by a licensed plumber and the installation must conform to State
and Local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 • NFPA54, and the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA-B149.1, as
applicable.
A5 – Air Supply and Ventilation – Adequate ventilation and air supply must be provided in order for the Fryer to operate
properly and efficiently. The area in front of and above the Fryer must be clear to avoid any obstruction of flow of
combustion and ventilation air. Do not, under any circumstances, connect the Fryer flue directly to a building exhaust
system or place the flue outlet directly into the plenum of the exhaust hood as it will adversely affect the gas
combustion of the Fryer.
The vent system should be of such design as to allow easy access for cleaning and degreasing on a regular basis in
order to prevent fires. An automatic fire extinguishing system should be an integral part of the vent design. Since the
temperature of the flue gases emanating from the Fryer flue can reach 1200° F, temperature sensing devices of the
automatic fire extinguishing system must be sized accordingly to prevent premature turn-on. The minimum vertical
distance from the top of the Fryer flue to vent system filters should be 18 inches or more.
A6 – Clearances – Your Fryer is design certified for use on combustible floors. The minimum clearances for combustible
and non-combustible construction is as follows: 6 inches from SIDE and 6 inches from BACK. Fryer must be
installed with 6 inches high legs or casters (optional). At least 16 inches clearance must be provided between the
frying surface of the Fryer and the surface flames from any adjacent cooking equipment.
A7 – Gas Connection – Before connecting Fryer to gas line, check the rating label on inside of door panel to make sure
that the gas type called for on label coincides with the type of gas available on site. A ½ inch NPT gas pipe
connection is provided at the rear of fryer. An accessible manual shut-off valve must be installed in the gas supply
line ahead of the Fryer for future service. The supply pipe must be sized to accommodate all the gas fired equipment
that may be connected to the gas supply. Check with your local Gas Company as to proper pipe size. Only pipe
sealant resistant to action of L.P. gas should be used on pipe joints. Before attempting to light Fryer, check joints for
tightness using a soap and water solution. Do not use an open flame.
A8 – Flexible Gas Connectors and Restraints (See illustration 1) – For Fryers equipped with casters, installation shall be made with a
Connector that complies with the Standard for – Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances ANSI Z21.69 • CSA6.16 and a Quick-Disconnect
Device compliant with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for use with Gas Fuel Connector or Quick-Disconnect Device. A high
strength Restrainer and proper size Quick-Disconnect Gas Connector conforming to above ANSI and/or CAN/CGA standards should be
ordered from Cecilware in conjunction with our NSF approved casters. If disconnection of the restraint is necessary for servicing Fryer, the
4

Restraint must be reconnected after appliance has been returned to its originally installed position.
ILLUSTRATION 1
Installation of Quick Disconnect and High Strength Restrainer.

Set the length of the restraining device so that
the connector is not kinked when the
restraining device is fully extended.
1. Restraining device should be installed parallel (in line) with the gas
appliance connector.
2. Attach the staple bracket (C) to a stud in the wall using the four 1” #12
screws (D) and the plastic anchors (E), if needed.
3. Locate a structural area (frame) on the rear side of the equipment that is in
line with the wall attachment. Drill a small hole, ¼” (per manufacturers’
recommendation). Please use caution when drilling hole, so that internal
components are not damaged.
4. Slide the hex nut (G) and a washer (I) onto the eye-bolt (F). Slide the eye-
bolt through the opening and place a washer (I) and the nylon lock nut (H)
onto the eye-bolt on the inside frame of the equipment and tighten down.
5. Attach one of the spring-loaded hooks (B) to the mounted bracketon the
wall (Step 2) and the other to the eye-bolt (Steps 3 and 4).
Note: For adjustable restraining devices, the cable is manufactured to be
shorter than the length of the gas connector.
Instructions for an appliance equipped with Casters:
1) The installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable
Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 • CSA 6.16, and a Quick-Disconnect Device that complies to the Standard for
Quick-Disconnect Devices for use with Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 • CSA 6.9.
2) Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of the appliance without depending on the connector
and the Quick-Disconnect Device or its associated piping.
3) The location(s) where the restraining means may be attached to the appliance shall be specified.

USER INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT – DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIGHT OR OPERATE FRYER WITHOUT THE PROPER LEVEL OF FRYING
FAT (OR WATER) IN TANK, AS SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULT. THIS APPLIANCE IS FOR
PROFESSIONAL USE BY QUALIFIED PEOPLE ONLY.
SECTION B – START UP PROCEDURE
B1 – Getting Ready to Use Fryer – Make sure that all steps in Section A are complete. Verify that gas is available to
Fryer.
B2 – Filling and Draining of Fryer Tank – Close Drain Valve (red handle in horizontal position) and fill it initially with
water to the oil level line (hot or cold water can be used). When draining tank, allow hot contents to cool to safe
handling temperature.
B3 – Start-up Lighting and Operating Instructions: (See Illustration 2)
1. Turn red Thermostat Knob D counter-clockwise to its lowest or off position.
2. Partially depress and turn Control Gas Cock Dial A to “OFF” position.
3. Wait five (5) minutes to allow gas which may have accumulated in the main burner compartment to escape.
4. Turn Gas Cock Dial A to ‘PILOT” position.
5. Depress Gas Cock Dial A and light Pilot C. Hold in depressed position for approximately 30 seconds, or until Pilot remains lit when Dial
is released.
NOTE: Sufficient time must be allowed for a proper sized flame to heat the pilot thermocouple that holds the safety magnet in a locked-up
position. Also, time must be allowed for air to escape from the lines during the first operation.
6. Release Dial and turn to full “ON.”
NOTE: Steps 7 – 13 help check burner operation, initial thermostat calibration and clean the vessel.
7. To operate main burners, rotate Red Thermostat Knob clockwise to 225° F or just above the boiling point of water.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT TURN ON MAIN BURNERS UNLESS FILLING INSTRUCTIONS WERE COMPLETED. NEVER OPERATE FRYER
WITHOUT THE PROPER LEVEL OF LIQUID (OIL OR WATER) IN VESSEL OR SERIOUS DAMAGE WILL RESULT AND
CONSEQUENTLY VOID THE WARRANTY.
8. When water comes to a boil, turn Red Thermostat Knob back to 200° F. The burners should turn off.
9. If pilot becomes extinguished repeat above procedure.
10. For stand-by periods, turn Gas Cock Dial A to “PILOT” position.
11. To shut Fryer down, partially depress and turn Gas Cock Dial A to “OFF” position and turn Thermostat to its lowest of off position.
12. Drain the vessel by means of the drain valve and Extension Pipe provided. Use caution when draining hot vessel.
13. Remove Extension Pipe. Wipe away any remaining water from the vessel and drain. Close Drain Valve and proceed to “Normal Daily
Operation.” If the latter is not convenient at this time, apply a protective coating of salt-free shortening to vessel surfaces. (Applies to
Cold Rolled Steel Tanks only).
6

SECTION C – NORMAL DAILY OPERATION
‘
Follow this procedure after the Fryer has already been started up for the first time or after Fryer has been shut down for maintenance.
C1 – Filling the Vessel for Frying – Close Drain Valve and fill to proper level (Oil Level) with frying fat. If solid shortening is used, be certain
shortening is pre-melted; if not, shortening must be packed tightly around the Heat Transfer Tubes before any attempts are made to turn on
Fryer. NEVER attempt to melt a solid block of shortening by setting it on top of the Heat Tubes. Loosely packed solid shortening will create
air voids around Heat Transfer Tubes of Fryer. When fired up, tubes will become red hot and will cause shortening to scorch and burn
creating a fire hazard. The safest way to melt solid shortening gradually is by turning burners “ON” for 5 seconds and then “OFF” for 15
seconds. This procedure is to be repeated until the tubes are covered with melted shortening. If any smoke is noticed during this melt cycle
procedure, reduce the burner “ON CYCLE.” Replace Crumb Screen over tubes when melted shortening has reached the “OIL LEVEL” line.
C2 – Lighting Instructions – Follow instructions on data label attached to inside Door Panel or as outlined in Section B3 of this manual.
C3 – Fryer Operation – Set the Thermostat Knob to desired frying temperature and allow shortening to pre-heat (75° F to 350° F in 7
minutes). The Burners are thermostatically controlled and will cycle on and off to maintain correct frying temperature. The “Safety Pilot” will
remain lit until the gas is shut off.
C4 – Special Hi-Limit Safety Control – Your Fryer is equipped with an over-temperature or Hi-Limit Control that will trip and automatically shut
down the Burners should operating temperatures exceed 460°F (due to operating thermostat out of calibration or low oil level in tank). To
reset Hi-Limit Control, wait 30 minutes to allow fat to cool down, or add additional cool oil or shortening for faster response, then push the
Red Pin E on Hi-Limit Control and relight pilot following steps (1) through (8) in Section B3.
C5 – Shut-Down and Draining – For temporary shut down, turn thermostat to lowest or off position. Then turn Gas Cock Dial to “PILOT”
position. To shut Fryer down completely, partially depress and turn Gas Cock Dial to “OFF” position. When draining tank, allow shortening to
cool to a safe handling temperature.

SECTION D – MAINTENANCE
D1 - Daily:
1) Shut down Fryer as per Section C5. Drain completely (using Drain Pipe Extension) into clean suitable container or filter pump.
2) Detach Basket Hanger Bracket, remove screen and wipe clean with cloth.
3) Flush out any remaining sediment in tank using some hot oil. Wipe off and clean fry kettle.
4) Close Drain Valve and strain shortening back into fryer using several layers of cheese cloth or filter through an oil pump equipped
with a Micro-Flo filtering system. Replace Crumb Screen and Basket Hanger Bracket. Detach Drain Nipple. Fryer is ready for next
operation.
D2 – Weekly: Repeat daily maintenance procedure to point (4). Close Drain Valve and clean vessel thoroughly with a deep fat fryer cleaning
compound and hot water. Drain and rinse thoroughly. Wipe dry with clean cloth. Clean exterior stainless steel surfaces of body with
stainless steel cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners or steel wool.
D3 – Periodic Checks: Temperature of frying compound. Set Thermostat Knob to 350°F. Place a fryer thermometer in fat (1 ½ inches) and
observe reading when burner goes out. Compare the reading. If the temperatures do not coincide within 5°F, have a qualified service
person calibrate the thermostat. See Adjustment Procedure, Section E, below. Clean unit and dirt off air shutters and main burners.
Periodically, (approximately once a year), burners an pilot should be cleaned to maintain proper ignition and burner flame efficiency.
D4 – Outside Service: Should you require help, contact the factory, your factory representative, or your local service company.
