BIGLA30 SERIES GEN II LOV™GAS FRYER
CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
Read the instructions in this manual thoroughly before attempting to operate this equipment. This manual covers
all configurations of models and BIGLA30 LOV™ fryers. Models designated BIGLA30 are equipped with Foot-
Print Pro built-in filtration systems. The fryers in this model family have most parts in common, and when
discussed as a group, will be referred to as “LOV™ fryers.
Although similar in appearance to the BIPH55 McDonald’s fryers, the BIGLA30 LOV™ fryers feature a low oil
volume frypot, auto top-off and an automatic intermittent filtration unit. The Euro-Look design incorporates a
rounded topcap and a large round drain which ensures that fries and other debris will be washed into the filter pan.
The BIGLA30 LOV™ fryers are controlled with an M3000 computer. Fryers in this series come in full- or split-
vat arrangements, and can be purchased in batteries of up to five vats.
LOV™ high-efficiency gas fryers employ a unique infrared burner system that uses up to 43% less energy to cook
the same volume as conventional open-burner fryers.
LOV™ gas fryers are of an open-frypot design with no tubes, which makes cleaning the stainless frypot quick and
easy.
Heating is supplied by a pair of infrared burner assemblies mounted on each side of the frypot. A dedicated
blower mounted on the front of the frypot supplies combustion air for the burners. LOV™ Gas fryers can be
configured for natural gas, propane (LP), or manufactured gas, as required by the customer.
Each frypot is equipped with a temperature probe for precise temperature control.
All fryers in this series require an external source of AC electrical power. Units can be configured for voltages
ranging from 100 VAC to 240 VAC.
BIGLA30 LOV™ fryers are shipped completely assembled. All fryers are shipped with a package of standard
accessories. Each fryer is adjusted, tested, and inspected at the factory before crating for shipment.
This appliance is only for professional use and shall be used by qualified personnel only, as defined in
Section 1.6.

DANGER
DANGER boxes contain information about actions or conditions that may cause or result
in injury to personnel, and which may cause damage to your system and/or cause your
system to malfunction.
Your fryer is equipped with automatic safety features:
1. High-temperature detection shuts off gas to the burner assembly should the controlling thermostat fail.
2. A safety circuit on units with filter systems prevents burner ignition with the drain valve open.
1.3 Computer Information for the M3000 Computers
