LJS 24G SERIES FLATBOTTOM GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3.1 UNPACKING
Check that the container is upright. Use outward prying - no hammering - to remove the carton.
Inspect the fryer(s) for visible damage. If such damage has occurred, do not refuse shipment, but
contact the carrier and file the appropriate freight claims.
FRYMASTER/DEAN FRYERS EQUIPPED WITH LEGS ARE FOR PERMANENT
INSTALLATION. FOR MOVEABLE OR PORTABLE INSTALLATION,
FRYMASTER/DEAN OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT CASTERS MUST BE USED.
QUESTIONS? CALL 1-800-551-8633.
3.2 CASTERS
Casters should be installed near where the appliance is to be used. After unpacking, raise the unit
approximately 12 inches to attach casters to the couplings. Lower the fryer gently to prevent
damaging the casters and internal mounting hardware. Use a pallet lift jack if available, when
installing casters. Systems ordered with optional casters come with casters installed.
3.3 POSITIONING
Do not push against any of the edges of the unit to adjust its position. Lift fryer slightly and place it
where it is to be installed. Although all metal parts are deburred during manufacture, accidents
could occur if the fryer (or a lineup) should move suddenly when being pushed into position by
hand. Pushing a unit (rather than using a lift jack) also increases the probability of bending the leg
spindles or the internal coupling connectors.
3.4 LEVELING
A. A spirit level should be placed across the top of the fryer and the unit leveled both front-to-
back and side-to-side (side-to-side adjustment is not possible on units equipped with
casters). Erratic burner combustion, inefficient unit operation and oil-drainage problems are
some of the problems caused by unleveled fryers. In addition, units may not match up
properly in a multi-unit battery.
B. If the floor is smooth and level, minor height adjustments can be made with the screw
adjustment on each leg. Adjust to the high corner and measure with the spirit level. Fryers
equipped with casters have no level adjustment options. The floor area where caster-
equipped units are installed must be level.
