INTRODUCnON
Thedevelopmentof theTURBOFRY 2000fills theneeds
of the food industry that havebeen,until now, unattain-
able.They are:

Continuous filtration of the cooking oil provides clean,
clearoil, eventhrough busyperiods.This meansbreaded
particlesdonot settleonheatingsurfacesandburn, which
in turn meanslonger oil life and lower oil costs. The
cleanoil producesfoods with coatings free of burnt food
particles that look and taste more appetizing. Turbofry
2(xx) hasan advancedfilter systemthat makes clean up
quick and easy.The main filters trap the larger crumbs
andcanbelifted out for easycleaning and replacement.
TheTurbofry 2000 usesa heatingprocess,within the
cookingarea,knownas"Convection",foodscookwith
crispercoatingsbecausehot oil is forced betweenthe
individualpiecesof food,thebreadingor outercoating
getssearedquickly beforethefood canabsorbasmuch
oil aswith astandardfryer.Thiswill produceafinished
productthatis muchlowerin absorbedoils.
The Turbofry 2(xx) hasahigh efficiency gascombustion
systemthat transfers heat more efficiently than regular
fryers. The high input rate in conjunction with a large
heattransfersurfaceareagive thisfryer theability tocook
high capacity loads effortlessly.
ChaRter1: DELIVERY and UNPACKING

In addition to the clearancesrequired for proper fryer
operation,theremustbeatleast33" (84 cm) of aislespace
in front of the fryer to remove/install the filter pan/mod-
ule.
Your fryer must be plumbed with a 3" drip leg. The size
of the gashose, gas line and quick disconnect must be
sufficiently largecough to provide atleast250,(XX)BTUI
HR gasflow. The gas line must be installed to ~t the
local building codes or National Fuel Gas Code (NFPA
54-1984) and ANSI Z223.1-1988 Latest Edition. In
Canada,install the fryer in accordancewith CAN/CGA-
B149.1 or .2 and local c<*s. Gas line sizing require-
mentscanbe detennined by your local gascompany by
referring to National Fuel GasCode,Appendix C, Table
C-4 (nawral gas)andTableC-16 (propane).The gasline
needsto belargeenoughto supply thenecessaryamount
of fuel to all appliances without losing pressureto any
appliance. Other factors that are used to detennine the
piping requirements are BTU requirementsof the appli-
ancesbeing connected and the length of pipe between
the meter(main shut off) andtheappliances.

NEVER supplythefryer with a gasthat is not indi-
catedon thedataplate.Using the incouect gastype
will causeimproperoperation.If youneedto convert
thefryer to anothertypeof fuel,contactyour dealer.
FuelI;):BJ:
Each fryer is equipped to work with one type of fuel.
EachTurbofry 2<XX>is setatthe factory and should need
no further adjustments.Refer to the data plate, located
on theinside of thedoor, for the gasspecifications of the
machineyou have.Attach awater manometerto thepres-
sureport on themanual gasvalve shown.
TAP
CheckthattheINPUT SUPPLYPRESSUREis 5 - 13"
WCfor NaturalGasand10- 13"WCfor LP gas.
WARNING
00 NOT useanopenflameto checkfor gasleaks!
GasLine Connection:
Connectthefryer to the gassupply line with aconnector
thatcomplies with the Standardfor Connectors for Mov-
able GasAppliances (ANSI Z2l.69-1987). Connect the
gasline to thefryer using apipejoint sealantthat isresis-
tantto Liquefied Petroleum.If thefryer wasdisconnected
during the fuel line testing, use a solution of soap and
water to leak testthe new connection. It is advised that
thegassupplytothefryer beconnectedto the ventilation
systemin sucha way asto prevent the fryer from being
operatedwithout the ventilator on.
CAUTION
NEVER usean adaptor to make a smaller gas supply
line fit thecookerconnection. This will not allow suffi-
cient gasflow for optimum burner operation, resulting
in poor cooker performance.
The Turbofry 2000 is supplied with castersand must be
installed with agasconnectorthat comply with the Stan-
dardfor Connectors for Movable GasAppliances, ANSI
Z21.69-1987,andAddendaZ21.69A-1989. This connec-
tion should include a quick disconnectdevice that com-
plies with the Standard for Quick Disconnect Devices
for UseWith GasFuel, ANSI Z21.41-1989.
