BIPH55 / MPH55 SERIES 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 MPH55 and BIPH55 fryers. Models designated MPH55
do not have built-in filtration systems. Models designated BIPH55 are equipped with FootPrint 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 “Pro Series H55” fryers.
Although similar in appearance to the BIH52 McDonald’s fryers, the BIPH55 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. All Pro Series H55 Gas fryers come standard with M2000 computer, electronic ignition,
melt cycle, and boil-out mode.
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.
Pro Series H55 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.
All Pro Series H55 Gas fryers are of an open-frypot design with no tubes and have a hand-sized
opening into the deep cold zone, 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. Pro
Series H55 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.
BIPH55 and MPH55 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.
