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 FPEL14 and FPEL17 variants. The fryers in this model family
have most parts in common, and when discussed as a group, will be referred to as “OCF30
™
Series
Electric” fryers.
Although similar in appearance to the RE Series Electric family of Electric fryers, the OCF30
™
Series Electric fryers with SMART4U
®
technology feature a low oil volume frypot with an optional
automatic oil top off system. The Euro-Look design incorporates a rounded topcap and a large
round drain, which ensures that fries and other debris, will be washed into the filter pan. Other
features, such as rotating elements and filtration system remain essentially unchanged. The OCF30
™
Series Electric fryers are controlled with a 3000 or CM3.5 computer. Fryers in this series come in
full- or split-vat arrangements, and can be purchased as two, three or four vat fryers.
