INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND CARE OF
HP15E SERIES ELECTRIC PRESSURE FRYERS
PLEASE KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE USE
GENERAL
The HP15E Series electric pressure fryers produce uniform, high quality product and operate at a low
temperature (325°F/163°C) and pressure (13 psig). Fast, pressure frying increases production,
improves energy efficiency, preserves food flavor, and reduces shrinkage. Up to 15 pounds of product
can be cooked in each batch.
The optional hood (Model HVH23) includes a nonvented exhaust fan with a three-stage air filtration
system. Models with the hood also include an ANSUL
