McDonald's ORIGINAL STANDARD EQUIPMENT LIMITED WARRANTY
General Warranty
Perfect Fry warrants to the original purchaser of its commercial cooking appliances and related equipment that said appliances and related
equipment will be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use for a period of two (2) years from the date of installation, with
appropriate documentation, to a maximum of twenty-eight (28) months from the date of manufacture, subject to the following additions, exceptions,
exclusions and limitations.
What is covered
This warranty is limited to the repair or replacement at the Company’s option, without charge, of any part found to be defective within the warranty
period and reasonable expenses incurred for freight and material for the installation of such part; in addition, the Company’s obligation shall be limited
to reimbursement for normal labor on such parts.
Perfect Fry, Inc. agrees to pay the Authorized Service and Parts Distributor, for any labor and material required to repair or replace, at the Company’s
option, any part which may fail due to defects in material or workmanship during the above general warranty period.
How to Keep Your Warranty in Force
• Make sure any shipping damages are reported immediately. Damages of this nature are the responsibility of the carrier and must be
reported by the receiver.
• Install the appliance properly. This is the responsibility of the installer and the procedures are outlined in the manual.
• Do not install the appliance in a home or residence.
• Maintain the appliance properly. This is the responsibility of the purchaser of the appliance and the procedures are outlined in the manual.
• Replace the air lter at regular intervals to prevent lter saturation. Failure to do so could result in a non-warranty main fan failure due to
grease build up.
• Adjustments, such as calibration, leveling, tightening of fasteners or plumbing or electrical connections normally associated with initial
installation are outlined in the manual and are not covered under warranty.
• Damages as a result of re, ood or other acts of God are not covered under this warranty.
• Use the appliance for what it is intended. If the appliance is used for a purpose other than for which it was intended or designed, resulting
damages are not covered under the warranty.
• Make sure that the appliance has the correct voltage. If a failure is due to incorrect or erratic voltage, these damages are not covered under
the warranty
• Do not materially alter or modify the appliance.
• Do not obliterate, remove or alter the serial number rating plate.
• Use only Genuine OEM parts from Perfect Fry or its Authorized Parts and Service Distributors. Repairs are not covered by the warranty if
non-OEM parts or non-Authorized Parts and Service Distributors are used.
• Failures that are not attributable to a defect in materials or workmanship are not covered.
This warranty specically excludes parts which wear or would be replaced under normal usage, including, but not limited to, electric lamps, fuses,
interior or exterior nishes, lters and gaskets.
Limits to the Warranty
Charges for mileage over one hundred (100) miles and travel time over two (2) hours from the Authorized Service and Parts Distributor are not covered
under this warranty. Extended mileage charges are the responsibility of the individual or rm requesting these services.
If any oral statements have been made regarding the appliance, these statements do not constitute warranties and are not part of the contract of sale.
This limited warranty constitutes the complete, nal and exclusive statement with regard to warranties.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WHETHER WRITTEN, ORAL OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR WARRANTY
AGAINST LATENT DEFECTS.
Limitations of Liability
In the event of a warranty or other claim, the sole obligation of Perfect Fry will be limited to the repair or replacement, at the Company’s discretion,
of the appliance or the component part. This repair or replacement will be at the expense of Perfect Fry except as limited by this warranty statement.
Any repair or replacement under this warranty does not constitute an extension in time to the original warranty. Parts covered under this warranty
will be repaired or replaced, at the Company’s discretion, with new or functionally operative parts. The liability of Perfect Fry on any claim of any
kind, including claims based on warranty, express or implied contract, negligence, strict liability or any other legal theories will be limited to the
repair or replacement of the appliance. This liability will not include, and the purchaser specically renounces any right to recover special, incidental,
consequential or other damages of any kind, including, but not limited to, injuries to persons, damage to property, loss of prots or anticipated loss of
the use of this appliance.
If any provision of this warranty is unenforceable under the law of any jurisdiction, that provision only will be inapplicable there, and the remainder of
the warranty will remain unaffected.
The maximum exclusion or limitation allowed by law will be substituted for the unenforceable provision.

SAFETY
It is the owner’s responsibility to:
• Insure the Perfect Fry PFC is properly maintained.
• Allow only properly trained personnel to operate, clean and maintain a Perfect Fry PFC.
• Contact local authorities having jurisdiction to insure that the installation conforms to all local
re, building and health regulations.
• Schedule and maintain documentation that the appropriate inspection and maintenance of the
PFS Automatic Extinguisher has been completed.
• Insure that the model ready for installation matches the supply voltage.
• Insure that the main power supply is disconnected before the Perfect Fry PFC is serviced.
• Insure that all safety devices are intact.
• Insure that a proper surface is provided for the Perfect Fry PFC to sit on.
• Insure that proper clearances are kept.
• Operate and store the Perfect Fry PFC above 32°F (0°C).
• Return the Perfect Fry PFC for recycling when it reaches end of life.
SAFETY FIRST
