ode!
The Henny Penny PressureFryer is a basic unit of food
processing equipment. It has found wide
application in institutional and commercial food
service operations.
A combination of Pressure,Heat, and Time is
automatically controlled to produce the optimum in a
tasty, appealing product.
Pressureis basic to this method of food preparation.
The pressure is developed from the natural moisture
of the food. The patented lid traps this moisture and
usesit assteam. Because the steam builds rapidly,
the greater part of the natural juices are retained
within the food. An operation valve vents excess
steam from the pot and maintains constant live
steam pressure.
Heat generated is another important factor of the
pressure fryer. Energy savings is realized due to the
unit’s short frying time, low temperature, and heat
retention of the stainless steel cookpot.
Time is important becausethe shorter time involved
in frying foods results in additional economies for
the user. Foods are table ready in lesstime than it
would take to fry them in a conventional open-type
fryer.
As in any unit of food service equipment, the Henny
Penny Pressurefryer does require care and
maintenance. Requirements for the maintenance
and cleaning are contained in this manual and must
become a regular part of the operation o.the unit at
all times.
Should you require outside assistance,just call
l-800-417-8417, or 937-417-8417.

The Henny Penny Pressure Fryer has many safety features
incorporated. However, the only way to ensure a safeoperation
is to fully understand the proper installation, operation, and
maintenance procedures. The instructions in this manual have
been prepared to aid you in learning the proper procedures.
Where information is of particular importance or safety
related, the words DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and
NOTE are used. Their usage is described below.
The word DANGER indicates an imminent hazard
which will result in highly serious injury such assecond
or third degree burns, loss of sight, and other perma-
nent injuries.
The word WARNING is used to alert you to a
procedure, that if not performed properly, might cause
personal injury, suchasburns and/or loss of sight, and
damage to the fryer.
The word CAUTION is usedto alert you to a procedure
that, if not performed properly, may damage the fryer,
or product.
The word NOTE is used to highlight especially impor-
tant information.

The proper location of the fryer is very important for operation,
speed,and convenience. Choosea location which will provide
easyloading and unloading without interfering with the final
assemblyof food orders. Operators havefound that frying from
raw to finish, and holding the product in warmers provides fast con-
tinuous service. Landing or dumping tables should be provided next
to at leastone side of the straight line operation, i.e. raw in one side
andfinish out the other side. Other assemblycan be moved away
with only a slight lossof efficiency.
For proper operation, the fryer must be level from sideto sideand
front to back. Using a level placed on the flat areasaround the frypot
collar, adjust the leveling bolt or castersuntil the unit is level.
The fryer should be located with provision for venting into adequate
exhausthood or ventilation system.This is essentialto permit efficient
removal of the steamexhaustandfrying odors.Specialprecaution must
betaken in designing anexhaustcanopyto avoid interference with the
operation of the fryer. Make certain the exhaustallows for proper open
ing of the fryer lid. We recommend you consult a local ventilation or
heating company to help in designing anadequatesystem.
The electric fryer is available from the factory wired for 208/120,
240/120 volts, three phase60 Hz. service.The power cord may be
alreadyattachedto the fryer, or provided at installation. Checkthe data
plate on the right side of the fryer to determine the correct power
supply.
This fryer must ly grounded. Refer to
local electrical codesfor correct grounding procedures.If
fryer is not adequatelygrounded, electrical shockcould
result.
A separatedisconnect switch with proper capacity fusesor breakers
must be installed at aconvenient location between the fryer and the
power source.It should be an insulated copper conductor rated for
600 volts and 90°C. For runs longer than 50 feet, usethe next larger
sizewire.
The main power ncedoesnot disconnect
all line conductors. This appliance must be equipped with an
external circuit breaker which will disconnect all ungrounded
conductors.

Each Nenny Penny pressure fryer was completely checkedand
tested prior to shipment. However, it is good practice to check
the unit again after installation.
1. Cook a round of product.
2. Check to see that the indicator needle in the pressure
gauge is reading in the “Operating Zone”.
Should the pressure gauge read beyond the “Operating
Zone” turn the Power/Pump switch to the “OFF” posi-
tion and refer to the Operation Control Valve Section.
Continued use of the unit at this high pressure could
result in serious injuries and severe burns.
3. Make sure lid gasket is not leaking, and no steam is coming
from safety relief valve.
4. Check the drain valve and fill line check valve for leaks.
5. Depressurization starts before end of cycle.
6. At the end of the cook cycle:
e The control will sound off by beeping.
7. Push the cycle button.
8. When all the pressure has exhausted (observe pressure
gauge) open the li
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN LID UNTIL THE
RESSURE DROPS TO ZERO. Opening the lid when
the cookpot is pressurized will allow hot shortening and
moisture to escapefrom the cookpot, resulting in severe
burns.
9. Let rack hang for 3-5 seconds, then proceed to take out
racks of chicken and place onto a bun pan.
If all the above functions have been performed satisfactorily
the fryer is ready for operation.
All operators, aswell asmaintenance and management
personnel, must throughly read and understand the
Operation Section prior to putting the fryer into opera-
tion. Failure to adhere to these instructions could result
in serious bodily injury or property damage.

Units being used outside the United States may not be shipped
with the power cord attached to the unit because of the
different wiring codes. The fryers are available from the
factory wired for 208,240,380 and 415volts, 3phase, 50 Hertz
service. A terminal block is mounted inside the fryer for the
cable wiring. A decal on the inside of the right side panel will
help in the wiring of the unit.
To install the power cord, follow these procedures:
1. Remove the side panel from the right side of the unit.
2. Remove the front panel, behind the filter knob and quick
disconnect.
3. Thread the cable through the strain relief on the junction
box.
4. Attach the wires to the terminal block according to the
wiring diagram on the side panel.
5. Pull the slack out of the cable and tighten the screws on
the strain relief.
6. Pull the slack out of the cable and secure it with the clamp
on the back of the cookpot.
Be sure the cabledoesn’t sag, or it could interfere with
the use of the portable filter.
7. Pull the slack out of the cable and secure it with the clamp
on the frame, at the rear, right leg of fryer.
Be sure enough slack is out of the cable so it doesn’t
extend out past the portable filter stop bracket at the
bottom of the fryer frame. The cable could interfere
with the portable filter, not allowing it to be pushed
all the way in. This could cause hot shortening to spill
onto the floor.
8. Wiring the fryer is now complete.

SECTION 3. OPERATION
3-1. OPERATING CONTROLS
1 Power/Pump Switch The Power/Pump Switch is a three way switch with center
"OFF" position. Move the switch to the position marked
"POWER" to operate the fryer. Move the switch to the
position marked "PUMP" to operate the optional portable
filter pump. These conditions are covered later in this section.
2 Frypot This reservoir holds the cooking shortening.
3 Cooking Rack This stainless steel rack consists of five shelves which
contain the food product during and after frying.
4 Lid Gasket The lid gasket provides the pressure seal for the frypot
chamber.
5 Deadweight Valve The dead weight style operating pressure relief valve is used
to maintain a constant level of steam pressure within the
frypot. Any excess steam pressure is vented through the
exhaust stack.
6 Safety Relief Valve The safety relief valve is an ASME approved spring loaded
valve set at 14.5 psi. In the event the operation valve
becomes obstructed, this safety valve will release excess
pressure, keeping the frypot chamber at 14.5 psi. If this
occurs, turn the Power/Pump switch to the "OFF" position to
release all pressure from the frypot.
7 Safety Relief Valve THE RING IS NOT TO BE PULLED.
Ring
Severe burns from the steam will result.
8 Pressure Gauge The pressure gauge indicates the pressure inside the cookpot.
402 3-1

Henny Penny Model 580
9 Solenoid Valve The solenoid valve is an electro-mechanical device that
causes pressure to be held in the frypot.
The solenoid valve closes at the beginning of the frying cycle
and is opened automatically at the end of the frying cycle. If
this valve should become dirty or the teflon seat nicked,
pressure will not build up and it must be repaired per the
maintenance section.
10 Drain Valve The drain valve is a two-way ball valve. It is normally in the
closed position. Pull the knob out to drain the shortening
from the frypot into the filter drain pan.
DO NOT OPEN THE DRAIN VALVE WHILE
FRY POT IS UNDER PRESSURE. Hot shortening
will exhaust from this valve. Severe burns will result.
11 Drain Interlock The drain interlock switch is a microswitch that provides
Switch protection for the frypot in the event an operator
inadvertently drains the shortening from the frypot while the
main switch is in the POWER position. The switch is
designed to automatically shut off the heat when the drain
valve is opened.
12 Condensation The condensation drain pan is the collection point for the
Drain Pan condensation formed within the steam exhaust
system. It must be removed and emptied periodically.
