GENERAL
The Model EFO40 Gas Fryer features an accurate thermostat for frying consistency and enhanced oil
life. The efficient gas burner provides prompt quiet ignition. The fry tank has an easy-to-clean interior.
The fryer is furnished with a set of four 6" (152.4mm) adjustable legs, two twin fry baskets, a crumb
screen, clean-out rod, drain pipe, and two filter bags. A set of four casters (two brake and two standard)
and a quick-disconnect device are available as optional accessories.
INSTALLATION
UNPACKING
Immediately after unpacking the fryer, check it for possible shipping damage. If the fryer is found to
be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Prior to installation, verify that the type of gas (natural or propane) agrees with the specifications on
the data plate located on the inside of the door. Also be sure the fryer is built for the installation
elevation.
Do not use the door or its handle to lift or move the fryer.
LOCATION
The equipment area must be free and clear of combustibles. The fryer, when installed, must have
clearance from combustible and non-combustible construction of 6" from the sides and 6" from the back
of the fryer. It must be installed at least 16" (406.4mm) away from any open top flame units. The
installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation.
The fryer may be installed on combustible floors.
The fryer must be installed so that the flow of combustion and ventilation air will not be obstructed.
Adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber must be provided. An adequate
supply of air must be available to allow for that required for combustion of the gas at the fryer burners.
