4. Fryer Operation
The GBF‐70 Fryer is manufactured as either a single unit or a banked system of (2) or (3) fryer wells, and features a
computer cooking controller. Optionally units can be configured with convenient Oil Level Top‐Off capability, which
utilizes an on‐board fresh oil supply (jug‐In‐box or saddle tank) or a customer‐provided bulk oil management
system. Fryer is standard with manual basket hanger racks ... optional Auto‐Basket Lifts are available. Other option
available is factory‐ready direct connection to customer‐provided bulk oil management systems (fresh and/or
waste). When becoming familiar with the operational procedures in this manual, be certain that you are
referencing information or instructions pertinent to the specific fryer configuration you have.
When using a bulk Oil Management System, always follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions.
• Before cleaning or performing maintenance, turn OFF fryer power switch and power supply at main electrical
panel.
• DO NOT wash down the fryer interior or exterior with water spray, or pressure washing equipment. Control
panels are “liquid resistant”, but are NOT washdown safe.
• Failure to comply with DANGER notices will result in serious injury, even death, damage to equipment or
property and void the factory warranty
• DO NOT use or store flammable liquids, or materials that produce flammable vapors, in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance!
• DO NOT (or ALLOW OTHERS to) stand or step onto the top of the fryer for any reason. Very
serious injury can result from slips and falls, or from bodily contact with extremely HOT oil in the
cooking vat (excess of 330

designed to, and WILL NOT

and/or property and will void the factory warranty.

properly grounded. A wiring diagram is provided with the unit.
