IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2.1 DESCRIPTION:
The Dean CE Deep
Fat Decathlon Fryers are energy-efficient,
gas-fired units, design-certified by the
International Approval Services
(AGA/CGA), Gaz de France, NSF
International and manufactured to their
basic performance and application
specifications.
All units are shipped completely
assembled with accessories packed inside
the fryer vessel. All units are adjusted,
tested and inspected at the factory before
shipment. Sizes, weights and input rates
of all models are listed in this manual.
NOTE: The on-site supervisor is responsible
for ensuring that operators are made
aware of inherent dangers of
operating a deep fat fryer, particularly
aspects of oil filtration, draining, and
cleaning of the fryer.
2.2
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION:
The incoming gas flows through orifices
and is mixed with air in the burners to
create the correct ratio for proper
combustion. The mixture is ignited at the
front end of each heat tube by the pilot
light. As the flame goes through the
burner tube, it is slowed by internal
diffusers. This slower and more turbulent
flame gives much better heat transfer to
the walls of the tubes, thereby heating the
oil better.
2.3 RATING PLATE
:
This is attached to
the inside right-hand corner of the front
door panel. Information provided includes
the model and serial number of the fryer,
BTU/hr input of the burners, outlet gas
pressure in inches WC and whether the
unit has natural or propane gas orifices.
DANGER!

2.4 PRE-INSTALLATION:
a. GENERAL: Only a licensed plumber
