BIPH14 / MPH14 SERIES ELECTRIC 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 McDonald’s PH14 models. The fryers in this model family have
most parts in common, and when discussed as a group, will be referred to as “PH14” fryers.

Although similar in appearance to the BIH14 McDonald’s electric fryers, the BIPH14 fryers feature
a significantly different built-in filtration system. The new Euro-Look incorporates rounded topcaps
and large round drains, which ensures that fries and other debris will be washed into the filter pan.
Other features, including the deep cold-zones and easy to clean, open frypots remain essentially
unchanged. Other features, including the deep cold-zones and open frypots with tilt-up elements
remain essentially unchanged.  The PH14 fryers are controlled with the M2000 computer.  Fryers in
this series come in full- or split-vat arrangements, and can be purchased as single units or in batteries
of up to five fryers.
