1. General Product Description
FryMac MKII is designed for preparation of french fries and other fast food products. The machine
prepares portioned frozen food in a cooking process resembling barbecuing without the use of ordinary
cooking oil or lard.
•Low fat content
•God taste
•Shortened cooking time (1.45 minutes - about 2 minutes for French fries of 100 g).
•No oil / lard purchase and therefore no problems with disposal of used oil / lard.
FryMac MKII has been tested for preparation of Mom’s products only. If other products are used, the
result might not be satisfactory. If damage should occur due to usage of products not Recommended
by your supplier or on www.frymac.com, this is not part of the guarantee.
FryMac MKII cooks using 6x halogen lamps as a heat source.

3
Portioned French fries or other products are entered through a manually operated filling lid.
The French fries fall onto a metal conveyor that turns during the cooking process to enable the French
fries to tumble.
When the cooked cycle is complete, the conveyor direction is reversed to dispense the French fries into
a collection tray.
Air is circulated through the machine to remove moisture from the product and to simultaneously cool
the working components and external surfaces.

2. Installation procedure
2.1. Unpacking
Unpack the machine, remove all packaging
materials and look for any visible damages as a
result of mishandling during transportation. If any
damages are visible, contact your local agent
immediately. Never install a machine that has been
visibly damaged.
2.2. Installation
The machine
should
be
placed
indoors on a
stable
and level surface. The machine should be placed
on a table at ordinary kitchen table height.
The minimum space shown must be available. This
is to allow access to locking clips for lid, power
cable and to ensure that the ventilation holes are
not covered.
Rear = 5cm.
Left side = 12cm
Right side = 12cm
If the machine is installed next to a hot appliance
that emits radiant heat (such as a radiant fries
warmer, toaster, oven or similar), there should be
a minimum distance of 0 cm between FryMac
MKII and the hot appliance. This goes for the left
and right side of FryMac MKII.
Left side = 0 cm
Right side = 0 cm

2.3. Height requirements abo e machine
It is recommended that there is free space above
the machine to allow the hot exhaust air to escape.
Preferably in the vicinity of an air extractor to
remove the exhaust air from the room.
If however the machine is placed below a surface,
the minimum distance of 1 meter from the base of
the machine must be observed.
The materials above the machine must also be able
to withstand a constant working temperature of
80°C.
Side view
Do not install any extraction directly on the
machine.
If you wish to have any extraction pipe above the
machine a minimum safety distance of 1 cm must
be observed.
Side view

2.4. Ventilation holes
The outer lid surfaces are cooled by a controlled
airflow within the machine. The air enters in the
machine in the gap between the lid and the
machine`s plastic sides.
It flows through the machine and exits via the
exhaust tube.
Do not block ventilation holes / openings.
Reduced ventilation can result in overheating of
the machine. Consequently a safety device will
close the heating lamps down. The machine
cannot be used until it has cooled down to within
its normal working temperature and the thermal
protection switch has been reset.
2.5. Exhaust
As a standard, t
he machine
exhaust tube
is
configured so that exhaust is facing upwards.
Note: The position of the exhaust tube can also be
reconfigured so that exhaust is facing the rear of
the machine.
The air leaving the machine during operation is
maximum 170°C just above the exhaust.
Ensure that the machine is not placed directly
beneath materials that could be affected by the
hot air leaving the exhaust.
It is possible to
reconfigure the exhaust tube so
that exhaust is from the rear of the machine.
If this configuration is used, precautions must be
made to ensure that heat from the exhaust air
does not cause a hazard.
2.6. Ambient temperature
The machine must not be
used
,
if temperatures are
below +10 °C or above +40°C and the relative
humidity is above 85% RH.

7
2.7. Electrical connection
The machine
must be connected to
2 0V AC, 50
Hz and a fuse of minimum 1 A. Va
riations in the power supply must not be more
than +10%, -10%.
For legal and safety reasons the machine must be
connected to ground.
2.8. Earthing terminal for external equipotential bonding.
The machine
is provided with
a
grounding
terminal (M5 thread) on the rear side that can be
used for the connection of an equipotential
bonding conductor.
The terminal is marked by the equipotential
bonding symbol (5021 of IEC 60417-1).
2.9. Important note
Do not place
the machine
on surfaces
or
near
walls, partitions or kitchen furniture and the like –
unless they are made of non-combustible
material or clad with non-combustible heat
insulating material, and pay attention to fire
prevention regulations.

2.10. Important
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
2.11. Warning
Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight
