SUPER RUNNER 52 SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2.1 General
Dean Super Runner 52 Series gas fryers are energy-efficient, gas-fired units, design-certified by the
CSA International (AGA/CGA), NSF International and manufactured to their basic performance and
application specifications.
All units are shipped completely assembled with accessories packed inside the fry vessels. All units
are adjusted, tested and inspected at the factory before shipment. Sizes, weights and input rates of
all models are listed in this manual.
CAUTION
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.
2.2 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.
2.3 Rating Plate
This is attached to the inside right-hand corner of the front door panel. Information provided
includes the model and serial number of the fryer, BTU/hr (kW/hr) of the burners, outlet gas
pressure in inches W.C. (mbars) 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.
CAUTION
Local building codes usually prohibit a fryer with its open tank of hot oil from being
installed beside an open flame of any type, whether a broiler or the open burner of a
range.
