Dean Super Marathon and Super Runner Series gas fryers are energy efficient, tube-style, gas-fired
units. All units are shipped completely assembled with accessories packed inside the frypot. All
units are adjusted, tested and inspected at the factory before shipment. Sizes and input rates of all
models are listed in this manual.
WARNING
The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of
the inherent dangers of operating a hot-oil fryer/filter system, particularly the
aspects of fryer operation, oil filtration, and draining/cleaning procedures.
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 more
efficiently.
