1.1 Frozen French Fries Dispensers – The Design Challenge
To optimize quality and ensure batch-to-batch cooking consistency,
French fries must be kept uniformly frozen until they are lowered
into the fryer. Baskets loaded with frozen fries should not be staged
or kept at ambient room temperature for even a few minutes. They
thaw quickly and can clump together.
SECTION 2
MECHANICS
French fry cut potatoes vary in length, are fragile (even in their
frozen state) and represent a challenge for dispensing into fry
baskets without damaging or breaking an unacceptable percentage
of whole fries.
SECTION 3
CONTROLS
The popularity of French fries and the high production volumes
necessary to meet drive-through and in-store order volume require
a simple and fast way to fill fry baskets with frozen product, without
unacceptable damage. The ebb and flow of daily fries production
requires a dispensing system that can quickly change batch size
(dispense-volume) to match order requirements.

1.2 Three Generations of Fries Dispenser – Model Identification
SECTION 1
F3D SERIES BASICS
There are currently three generations of F3D Series dispensers in use and in the field. The F3D is the
original version with a bottom mounted compressor package. The second generation F3Dn or “narrow”
model was developed to reduce the unit width for tight kitchen layouts. The F3D3 or third generation model
incorporates more sophisticated controls with a display that allows easier, from-the-front operational
settings, calibration and diagnostic system access.
SECTION 2
MECHANICS
All three generations share basic cold wall refrigeration technology, fries hopper design and much of the
automation assembly that releases, weighs and dispenses frozen fries. However, the narrow profile of
second and third generation models has changed some mechanical systems and on-going improvement of
control technology and user interface makes each model unique.
We have color-coded sections to help you quickly identify and use the relevant information and
instructions. Purple color bars are used for universal [all models] information and blue-green-red, as

1.4 F3D Series Installation Guidelines & Potential Issues
SECTION 1
F3D SERIES BASICS
Like most commercial kitchen equipment, the F3D Series of Frozen French Fries Dispensers must
be properly positioned and installed to operate effectively, avoid premature component failures and
unnecessary downtime.
A Good Installation will include:
SECTION 2
MECHANICS
1. A flat floor that allows the unit to be rolled out for required maintenance or service;
2. A nearby wall or chase-mounted electric outlet providing power per data plate and
unit specifications [See Section 1.3];
3. Ambient room temperatures that is below 82° F [27° C]; and
4. A maximum room humidity of 60%.
A Problematic Installation may include:
SECTION 3
CONTROLS
1. Temperature or humidity levels that exceed
Operating Conditions Requirements;
2. Exposure to high pressure steam or water spray
cleaning;
3. Installation under a ventilation hood and/or
exposure to grease-laden vapors that can drip
into or be drawn into controls or the condenser
compartment;
4. Installation and operation outdoors or any area
not protected from weather or corrosive salt air.
F3Dn improperly installed under
a Type I exhaust hood.

1.5 F3D Series Typical Unit Operation Sequence
To operate a F3D Series Frozen French Fries Dispenser:
SECTION 5
TROUBLESHOOTING
Assuming the unit is off and empty, you would:
1. Turn ON the main Power Switch. [It is just left of left Lane Control Panel. You should hear the
compressor come on within 2 minutes.]
2. Close the compartment door and allow compressor to draw down freezer temperature to the target/
normal of 0° to -10° F or -18 to -23° C.
3. Open the freezer compartment door and fill one or both white plastic hoppers with frozen fries. [It
will take 1-2 bags to raise fries level above the Low Product Sensor.]

2.0 F3D Series Mechanical Systems
SECTION 1
F3D SERIES BASICS
F3D Series dispenser mechanical systems were designed to quickly and accurately dispense a measured
amount of frozen French fries from a hopper located in the freezer, into an empty fryer basket positioned
in the loading area, with minimum damage to those delicate frozen fries. Two redundant and identical
dispensing lanes are provided, with matching electric, control and mechanical systems.
We will begin our review of the mechanical systems with the basic Fry-Basket-Fill-Sequence.
2.1 Basic Fry Basket Fill Sequence:

[F3Dn in MANUAL]: Position fry basket in loading lane and press MANUAL DISPENSE
[F3D3] Position fry basket in loading lane and press it against rear bumper-bar switch
2. Basket present sensor or switch will signal and activate a dispense cycle
3. Door Open Motor will open the two Product Doors (gates), allowing the pre-measured fries load
from the previous fill cycle to drop into waiting fryer basket.
4. Door-Open Sensor reverses the polarity of the Door-Open Motor, closing the two linked Product
Doors, then
5. Door Lift Motor lowers the Automation Assembly (contact pin) on to the Load Cell beam.
6. Load Cell weighs automation assembly and fries. Main Board controller nets out or tares empty
weight of Automation Assembly.
7. Drum Rotor Motor turns the multi-lobe Rotor in the bottom of Hopper, allowing frozen fries to
drop onto the loading doors at the base of Fill Bucket,and continues the fill cycle until weight
value for (Large, Medium or Small) load is reached.
8. When fill value (weight) is reached, Hopper drum/Rotor will stop and Door Lift Motor raises
Automation Assembly to seal freezer bottom and returns it to the ready position.

Currently, McDonald’s nominal or average load sizes are:

Some Load Cell Basics
Load Cells are commonly used in manufacturing to accurately weigh ingredients in batch and continuous
processing applications. The Franke F3D Series employs a small beam-type load cell to accurately measure a
portion of frozen fries, plus the Automation Assembly that is holding and dispensing that batch. It is mounted
just below the Door Lift Motor
Load cells generally have three components: a mechanical system, a strain gauge and an electric
amplification device. The mechanical system transfers force to the strain gauge (elastic foil), which is
connected to a wheatstone bridge that converts strain into electric output. This small electric output is
amplified and sent to the controller, which converts the electric output into a measurement of force, in this
case a weight factor.
To calibrate F3D Load Cells – See F3D SM Section 3.7

SECTION 5
TROUBLESHOOTING
Load Cell Calibration
The Load Cell (actually the software on the Main Broad
controller) must be calibrated so that it nets out the weight of the
Automation Assembly (including bucket & product doors) when
calculating the actual fries batch weight (Small, Medium or Large).
Load cells must also be calibrated when replacing the Load Cell,
Automation Assembly or Main Control Board.
To calibrate F3Dn Load Cells – See F3Dn SM Section 3.7
To calibrate F3D3 Load Cells – See F3D3 SM Section D3
