SECTION 2. INSTALLATION
2-1. INTRODUCTION This section provides the installation instructions for
the Henny Penny Open Fryer.
Installation of the unit should be performed only by a
qualified service technician.
Do not puncture the unit with any objects such as
drills or screws as component damage or electrical
shock could result.
2-2. UNPACKING The Henny Penny Open Fryer has been tested, inspected, and
expertly packed to ensure arrival at its destination in the best
possible condition. The unit is banded to a wooden skid and
then packed inside a heavy cardboard carton with sufficient
padding to withstand normal shipping treatment.
Any shipping damage should be noted in the presence
of the delivery agent and signed prior to his or her departure.
2-3. LEVELING THE OPEN FRYER For proper operation, the open fryer should be level from
side to side and front to back. Using a level placed on the
flat areas around the frypot collar, adjust the casters until the
unit is level.
2-4. VENTILATION OF OPEN FRYER The open fryer should be located with provision for venting
into an adequate exhaust hood or ventilation system. This is
essential to permit efficient removal of the steam exhaust and
frying odors. Special precaution must be taken in designing
an exhaust canopy to avoid interference with the operation of
the open fryer. We recommend you consult a local
ventilation or heating company to help in designing an
adequate system.

(FOR EQUIPMENT WITH CE MARK ONLY!) To prevent electric shock hazard this appliance
must be bonded to other appliances or touchable metal surfaces in close proximity to this
appliance with an equipotential bonding conductor. This appliance is equipped with an
equipotential lug for this purpose. The equipotential lug is marked with the following symbol
To avoid electrical shock, this appliance must be equipped with an external circuit breaker which will
disconnect at overvoltage category III condition all ungrounded (unearthed) conductors. For the
installation the national wiring code must be obeyed.’ The main power switch on this appliance does not
disconnect all line conductors
• 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.
