HENNYPENNYOPENFRYERS
air valve a valve on the eight head fryer that allows air into the filter lines when the pump
is on in the mixing mode on eight head fryers
airflowswitch a switch that senses the amount of airflow coming from the blower; if the airflow
(gas fryers only) falls below a certain level, the switch cuts power to the gas control valve that
shuts down the burners
blower located on the rear of a gas fryer, the blower pulls flue gases out of the flue and
(gas fryers only) provides the proper amount of air to the burner tubes for efficient combustion
breading a flour and seasoning mixture used to coat the product prior to frying
burner assembly an assembly on gas fryers that houses the pilot light which ignites the gas that
(gas fryers only) heats the fryer
burner tubes the tubes through which heated air is forced to heat the shortening
(gas fryers only)
carrier a wire frame inside the eight head frypot that holds five racks of product during
the cook cycle
casters the wheels on bottom of the fryer that allow the unit to roll; casters should be
locked when unit is in use and not being moved; casters may be adjusted to help
level the fryer
cleaning solution an agent used to clean the frypot; see recommended cleaning procedures
cold zone an area in the bottom of the frypot where shortening is cooler than the area
above; the zone allows the crumbs to settle without burning
cook cycle a programmed cycle that cooks a particular product at a preselected temperature
and for a preselected time
cooking load the amount of product cooked during a cook cycle
counterweight the weights shipped with the fryer that, when installed in the counterweight
assembly, enable the eight head fryer lid to lift easily
counterweight assembly an assembly of weights and cables that enable the eight head fryer lid to lift
easily
cover a protective lid for the frypot when fryer is not in use
cracklings the crumbs of breading that come off the product during a cook cycle
crumb catcher the part of the filter assembly on four head fryers that filters crumbs out of the
shortening before the shortening is pumped back into the frypot

data plate a label or plate located on the right side panel of the fryer that indicates the fryer
type, serial number, warranty date, and other information
drain handle the handle used to open and close the drain valve
drain interlock switch a microswitch that automatically shuts off the fryer heat in the event the drain
valve is inadvertently opened while the fryer power switch is in the ON position
drain valve a valve that allows the shortening to drain from the frypot into the filter drain
pan; the fryer power switch should be in the OFF position before the drain valve
is opened; the drain valve should remain closed at all other times
dumping table a table onto which the cooked product is dumped after removal from the fryer
frypot
filllines the four lines marked on the interior real wall of the frypot that show the proper
shortening level (also referred to as level indictor lines)
filterclips the clips are the part of the filter screen assembly that holds the filter envelope
closed
filter drain pan a pan that slides under the fryer into which shortening is drained
filter envelope a fiber envelope into which the filter screen is placed; the end of the envelope is
folded and held closed with filter clips; a part of the filter screen assembly
filter pan dolly an optional transport cart for the filter drain pan
filterpumpmotor the motor that powers the filtering system
filter screen assembly an assembly that filters the shortening as it is pumped from the frypot; the
assembly is made up of two filter screens, a filter envelope, two filter clips, and a
crumb catcher (Note: eight head fryers have two filter screens with no crumb
catcher)
filter union the threaded connection between the fryer and the filter system that can be
connected or released without tools
filtervalve the valve that must be opened to pump shortening back into the frypot during
the filter cycle (Models OFE-320, and 340)
flame sensors the sensors that shut off the gas supply to gas fryers if the pilot lights
(gas fryers only) go out or do not light
fryer brush a brush included with the fryer used to scrub the inside of the frypot
frypot the interior portion of the fryer that holds the shortening and the product while
cooking
frypot collar the top flat surface area around the fryer lid

gas control valve an automatic dual controller that controls gas to both pilot lights and gas
(gas fryers only) pressure to burners on fryers; if either pilot light goes out, the controller shuts
off the gas to the other pilot light
gas valve knob the knob that opens and closes the gas control valve
(gas fryers only)
gas pressure regulator a device located on the gas control valve that regulates the gas
pressure; the
(gas fryers only) pressure specifications are preset at the factory
heat indicator the light that illuminates when the shortening is being heated; the light goes off
when the preset shortening temperature has been achieved
heating elements the coils located inside the frypot on electric fryers that heat the shortening
highlimit a temperature control that opens and shuts off the heat to the frypot if it senses
shortening temperature in excess of 420°F (212°C)
ignition modules two modules that send electrical energy to the spark igniters that ignite the pilot
lights on gas fryers
L-shaped brush a brush included with the fryer that is used to clean around the burner tubes
and heating elements
landing table another name for a dumping table (see dumping table)
level indicator lines the lines marked on the interior real wall of the frypot that show the proper
shortening level (also referred to as fill lines)
lid assembly an assembly comprised of lid, lid handle, and lid latch which raises and lowers
product into shortening on eight head fryers
lid handle a handle that is attached to the lid and is used to lower the lid into contact with
the frypot; the handle is then pulled forward and pushed down to lock the lid in
place (see lid latch)
lid latch a mechanical catch on the front of the fryer lid that engages a bracket located on
the front of the frypot; the latch holds the lid down
manual shutoff valve a valve located between the fryer and the wall that shuts off the flow of gas from
(gas fryers only) the supply line; this is not the main shutoff valve for the store
melt cycle a heat mode that cycles on and off to slowly melt the shortening when the
power switch is on and the shortening temperature is below a certain
temperature; the melt cycle prevents scorching of the shortening
pilot orifice a controlled opening for the pilot light located on the burner assembly
(gas fryers only)
pilot light a small flame that remains burning even when the fryer is not in use; the flame
(gas fryers only) ignites the gas when the fryer is turned on
