Your electrician must furnish sufficient current for proper machine operation. We
recommend this electric fryer machine be on a dedicated and circuit protected line.
Failure to wire properly will void the warranty and can result in damage to the heat
elements, light, etc.
It is Gold Medal Products Company’s recommendation that this machine be plugged
directly into a wall outlet. The use of extension cords is not recommended due to
safety risks and the fryer’s performance will be sacrificed/reduced.

Before You Plug In Machine:
1. Make sure the wall outlet can accept the grounded plugs (where applicable) on the
power supply cord.
2. The wall outlet must have the proper polarity. If in doubt, have a competent
electrician inspect the outlet and correct if necessary.
3. DO NOT use a grounded to un-grounded receptacle adapter.
Important Fire Safety Notice:
The building code in nearly all cities within North America requires that any fryer with
more than a 7 pound oil capacity be operated under a vented hood with “Automatic
Fire Extinguisher System”. This system is typically referred to as an “Ansul” or
“Kiddie” system.
If you operate this fryer, or any fryer, outdoors in a concession trailer, booth or
portable concession stand, you may not fall under building code requirements.
All Gold Medal fryers have two thermostats. One thermostat works with the heat
adjustment and controls the working temperature of the oil. The other is a high limit
shut-down thermostat that operates in the event that the first thermostat should fail.
We use the highest quality thermostats available. However, in time, all thermostats
wear out. We therefore strongly suggest that you immerse a thermometer to check
the oil temperature to make sure the thermostat is working properly.
Note: Use a Class B Fire Extinguisher, or other Extinguisher approved for Grease.

off before cooking product
This can cause product to
become overly saturated with oil

Cautions to Take When Using All Fryer Models:
1. Hot oil is dangerous - severe burns can occur when hot oil contacts skin.
2. Locate your fryer in a protected place, such as on a base or table strong enough to
support it and the oil.
3. Keep your floors clean and free of grease so that no one slips and collides with the
fryer.
4. Hot oil is flammable - keep open flames away from oil and vapors.
5. Keep area and filters clean above fryer. Oil soaked lint or dust can ignite easily
and the flames spread quickly.
6. Install an automatic fire extinguisher over the fryer and exhaust duct.
7. Consult your local fire protection agency for area requirements. Check regularly to
ensure safe and proper function.
8. Place a thermometer capable of 400°F (or higher) in the oil, above the heating
element, to check and monitor oil temperature. If your fryer starts to smoke or boil
abnormally, cut off power supply and determine the reason before attempting to
use it again.
9. Be sure your power supply is installed properly and in accordance with local
and National codes. Your new fryer is equipped with an emergency stop attached
to the cabinet for immediate heat element shut-off.
10. See that all your personnel understand the hazards of hot oil. Instruct them on the
proper action in the case that something does not seem to be working accordingly.
11. Instruct your personnel on what to do if there is a grease fire. Do NOT use water!
Use only fire extinguishers of the approved type and never direct the extinguisher
so as to blow the grease out the oil tank.
12. The Fryer will not operate if the power head is not sitting squarely on the flat,
horizontal lip of the tank. The Switch Actuator located on the bottom of the power
head must actuate the enclosed micro switch for the power head to operate.
13. The Gold Medal Fryer Head can only be used with a Gold Medal Tank.
Safety Tips and Quality Assurance Methods:
1. Don’t waste money! Use only high quality heavy duty frying shortening.
2. Don’t overload the frying tank.
3. Don’t shake breaded items over fryer.
4. Don’t salt items over fryer.
5. Don’t introduce excessive amounts of water to fryer.
6. Don’t fill the basket more than half full.
7. Don’t thaw frozen foods before frying.
8. Don’t fry food in broken-down frying shortening.
