Henny Penny PFE-590 Reference manual

Model PFE- 590/592
The Henny Penny pressure fryer is a basic unit of food pro-
cessing equipment which is used only in institutional and commercial
food service operations.
P-H-T A combination of pressure, heat, and time is automatically
controlled to produce the optimum in a tasty, appealing
product.
Pressure Pressure is basic to this method of food preparation. The pres-
sure is developed from the natural moisture of the food. The
patented lid traps this moisture and uses it as steam. Because
the steam builds rapidly, a 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 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
frypot.
Time Time is important because the shorter time involved in frying
foods results in additional economies for the user. Foods are
table ready in less time than it would take to fry them in a con-
ventional open-type fryer.
As of August 16, 2005, the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equip-
ment directive went into effect for the European Union. Our
products have been evaluated to the WEEE directive. We have
also reviewed our products to determine if they comply with the
Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive (RoHS) and have
redesigned our products as needed in order to comply. To continue
compliance with these directives, this unit must not be disposed as
unsorted municipal waste. For proper disposal, please contact
your nearest Henny Penny distributor.
As in any unit of food service equipment, the Henny Penny
pressure fryer does require care and maintenance. Require-
ments for the maintenance and cleaning are contained in this
manual and must become a regular part of the operation of the
unit at all times.
Should you require outside assistance, call your local distributor in
your area, or call 1-800-417-8405 or 1-937-456-8405.
