FRYMASTER HD1814 SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2-3
2.3 Principles 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. Internal diffusers slow the flame as it goes through the burner tube. This slower and more
turbulent flame gives much better heat transfer to the walls of the tubes, thereby heating the oil
better.
2.4 Rating Plate
This is attached to the inside 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 W.C. and whether the
unit has natural or propane gas orifices.
DANGER
Fryers MUST be connected ONLY to the gas type identified on the attached rating
plate.
2.5 Pre-Installation
DANGER
No structural material on the fryer should be altered or removed to accommodate
placement of the fryer under a hood. Questions? Call the Frymaster Dean Service
