Automatic Lift Fryer
Introduction
Specific Precautions
Risk of fire exists if the oil level drops below 5mm of the maximum oil level.
Use of oil/shortening older than the manufacturers recommendations for life of 
the oil is prone to surge boiling and flash fires. Follow the oil manufacturers 
guidelines for the life cycle of oil/shortening. 
Do not open the drain valve or the fill valve while the fryer is under pressure. 
Serious burns may result. 
Follow operator instructions regarding effects of surge boiling of over-wet foods 
and proper load size. 
This unit may incorporate components that contain Mercury. The use of Mercury 
relays is an industry standard. 
Equipotential ground plane 
When a high current flows through a conductor, differences in potential appear 
between the conductor and nearby metallic surfaces near the appliance. As a 
result, sparks may be produced between the appliance and surrounding metal 
surfaces. These sparks could cause serious injury, damage, or fire. 
 
BKI provides an Equipotential ground terminal for the connection of a bonding 
conductor after the installation of the appliance per lEC60417-1. This terminal is 
located on the inside of the Power Entry Supply box near the Earth connection 
and is marked with this symbol. 
 
Full Disconnection 
In accordance with Local and/or National wiring codes, the installer must provide 
a means of full disconnection under over voltage Category III conditions. An IEC 
approved cord and plug combination will meet this requirement. 
 
Units not provided with a cord and plug do not meet this requirement. In 
accordance with Local and/or National wiring codes, the installer must provide 
the means of full disconnection. 
The fryer is designed to hold a maximum of 75 lb (34 kg) of oil/shortening.
