Important Notices and Warnings
NOTICE: If, during the warranty period, the customer uses a part for this Manitowoc Food Service equipment other than an unmodified new or recycled part purchased directly from Frymaster, or any of its authorized service centers, and/or the part being used is modified from its original configuration, this warranty will be void. Further, Frymaster and its affiliates will not be liable for any claims, damages or expenses incurred by the customer which arise directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, due to the installation of any modified part and/or part received from an unauthorized service center.
NOTICE: This appliance is intended for professional use only and is to be operated by qualified personnel only. A Frymaster Factory Authorized Servicer (FAS) or other qualified professional should perform installation, maintenance, and repairs. Installation, maintenance, or repairs by unqualified personnel may void the manufacturer's warranty.
NOTICE: This equipment must be installed in accordance with the appropriate national and local codes of the country and/or region in which the appliance is installed.
NOTICE TO OWNERS OF UNITS EQUIPPED WITH CONTROLLERS
U.S. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. While this device is a verified Class A device, it has been shown to meet the Class B limits.
CANADA This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A or B limits for radio noise emissions as set out by the ICES-003 standard of the Canadian Department of Communications. Cet appareil numerique n'emet pas de bruits radioelectriques depassany les limites de classe A et B prescrites dans la norme NMB-003 edictee par le Ministre des Communcations du Canada.
DANGER: Prior to movement, testing, maintenance and any repair on your Frymaster fryer, disconnect ALL electrical power from the fryer.
NOTICE: The instructions in this manual for using a bulk oil system for filling and discarding oil are for Frontline or RTI systems. These instructions may not be applicable to other bulk oil systems.
DANGER: Keep all items out of drains. Closing actuators may cause damage or injury.
DANGER: Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with oil. Failure to do so will cause spattering of hot liquid when the oil is heated to cooking temperature.
WARNING: Do not add HOT or USED oil to a JIB.
WARNING: NEVER drain boil out or cleaning solution into a shortening disposal unit (SDU), a built-in filtration unit, a portable filter unit, or an OQS (Oil Quality Sensor). These units are not intended for this purpose, and will be damaged by the solution and void the warranty.
DANGER: When draining oil into a disposal unit, do not fill above the maximum fill line located on the container.
DANGER: Allow oil to cool to 100°F (38°C) before draining into an appropriate METAL container for disposal.
DANGER: When draining oil into an appropriate SDU or METAL container, ensure the container will hold at least FOUR gallons (15 liters) or more for FQE30 or FQG30 fryers, or EIGHT gallons (30 liters) or more for 1814E or 1814G fryers. Otherwise oil could overflow and can cause injury.
DANGER: When draining boil out solution oil into an appropriate METAL container, ensure the container will hold at least FOUR gallons (15 liters) or more for FQE30 or FQG30 fryers, or EIGHT gallons (30 liters) or more for 1814E or 1814G fryers. Otherwise boil out solution could overflow and can cause injury.
DANGER: Open the filter pan slowly to avoid splashing of hot oil that may cause severe burns, slipping and falling.
DANGER: Ensure that the frypot and filter pan are completely dry and free of water before filling with oil. Failure to do so will cause splattering of hot liquid when the oil is heated to cooking temperature.
WARNING: The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of the inherent hazards of operating a hot oil filtering system, particularly the aspects of oil filtration, draining and cleaning procedures.
DANGER: Do not drain more than one frypot at a time into the built-in filtration unit to avoid overflow and spillage of hot oil that may cause severe burns, slipping and falling.
WARNING: Never drain water into the filter pan. Water will damage the filter pump.
WARNING: Ensure a filter paper/pad is in place prior to filtering, draining or disposing of oil. Failure to insert a filter paper/pad may result in clogged lines and/or pumps.
DANGER: DO NOT drain more than one full frypot or two split frypots into the SDU at one time to avoid overflow and spillage of hot oil that may cause severe burns, slipping and falling.
WARNING: Never operate the filter system without oil in the system.
WARNING: Never use the filter pan to transport old oil to the disposal area.
WARNING: Never leave the fryer unattended during the boil out process. If the solution overflows, press the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position immediately.
WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by children under the age of 16 or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Do not allow children to play with this appliance.

Chapter 2: Operator Troubleshooting
2.1 Introduction
This chapter provides a guide to common problems encountered during equipment operation, offering troubleshooting steps to help correct or diagnose issues. It emphasizes a process of elimination and understanding the cause of a problem.
Before calling a servicer or the Frymaster HOTLINE (1-800-551-8633):
- Verify that electrical cords are plugged in and circuit breakers are on.
- Verify that gas line quick-disconnects are properly connected.
- Verify that any gas line cutoff valves are open.
- Verify that frypot drain valves are fully closed.
- Have your fryer's model and serial numbers ready.
DANGER: Hot oil will cause severe burns. Never attempt to move this appliance when filled with hot cooking oil or to transfer hot cooking oil from one container to another.
DANGER: This equipment should be unplugged when servicing, except when electrical circuit tests are required. Use extreme care when performing such tests.
This appliance may have more than one electrical power supply connection point. Disconnect all power cords before servicing.
Inspection, testing, and repair of electrical components should be performed by a factory-authorized servicer only.
