CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

All installation and service on Frymaster equipment must be performed by qualified, certified,
licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel.
Service may be obtained by contacting your local Factory Authorized Service Center.
In the event of a power failure, the fryer(s) will automatically shut down. If this occurs, turn the
power switch "OFF". Do not attempt to start the fryer(s) until power is restored.
This appliance must be kept free and clear of combustible material, except that it may be installed on
combustible floors.
A clearance of 6 inches (15 cm) must be provided at both sides and back adjacent to combustible
construction. A minimum of 24 inches (61 cm) should be provided at the front of the equipment for
servicing and proper operation.
WARNING
Do not block the area around the base or under the fryers.
2.2 Fryer Installation
WARNING
Frymaster fryers equipped with legs are for permanent installations. Fryers fitted with legs
must be lifted during movement to avoid damage and possible bodily injury. For a moveable
or portable installation, Frymaster optional equipment casters must be used. Questions?

4. To level fryers equipped with legs, the bottom of the legs can be screwed out up to 1-inch for
leveling. Legs should be adjusted so that the fryer is at the proper height in the frying station.
For fryers equipped with casters, there are no built-in leveling devices. The floor where the fryer
is installed must be level.
NOTE: If you need to relocate a fryer installed with legs, remove all the weight from each leg
before moving. If a leg becomes damaged, contact your service agent for immediate repair or
replacement.
WARNING
Hot shortening can cause severe burns. Avoid contact. Under all circumstances, oil
must be removed from the fryer before attempting to move it to avoid oil spills and
the falls and severe burns that could occur. This fryer may tip and cause personal
injury if not secured in a stationary position.
5. When the fryer is leveled in its final position, install the restraints provided with the unit to limit
its movement so that it does not depend on or transmit stress to the electrical conduit or
connection. Install the restraints in accordance with the provided instructions (see illustration on
the following page). If the restraints are disconnected for service or other reasons, they must be
reconnected before the fryer is used.
