WARNING
Dean fryers equipped with legs are for permanent installations. Fryers fitted with
legs must be lifted during movement to avoid damage to the legs and possible
bodily injury. For a moveable installation, Dean optional equipment casters must be
used. Questions? Call 1-800-551-8633
1. Legs (or optional casters) should be installed near where the fryer is to be used, as neither is
intended for long transit. After unpacking, raise the unit about a foot (30-cm) to permit the legs
or casters to be attached. NOTE: It is strongly recommended that a pallet- or lift-jack be used
to raise the fryer rather than tilting it.
2. Position the fryer in its installation location. Do not push fryers with legs in an attempt to adjust
the fryer position. Lift the fryer slightly and place it where it is to be installed. Pushing a unit
increases the possibility of bending the leg spindles or the internal connectors.
3. Once the fryer has been placed in position, it should be leveled. In fryers equipped with legs, if
the floor is smooth and reasonably level, the bottom of the legs can be screwed out up to one
inch for leveling and adjusting the fryer so that it is at the proper height in the frying station. If
the floor is uneven or has a decided slope, level the unit with metal shims, since the adjustment
required may exceed the thread available in the leg. NOTE: For fryers equipped with casters,
there are no built-in leveling devices. The floor where the fryer is installed must be level.
Use a carpenter’s spirit level placed across the top of the fryer to check the level of the unit both
front-to-back and side-to-side. If it is not level, the fryer may not function correctly, the oil may
not drain properly for filtering and, in a battery, it may not match adjacent units.
4. Single fryers must be restrained when installed to prevent tipping and the splashing or spilling of
hot cooking oil, shortening, or other liquids. If the restraints are disconnected, they must be
reconnected after the fryer is returned to its original location.
