Fuel Types - Each fryer is equipped to work with one type of fuel. The type of fuel with which the appliance is intended to
operate is stamped on the data plate attached to the inside of the door.
NOTICE
NEVER use an adaptor to make a smaller gas supply line fit the cooker connection. This may
not allow proper gas flow for optimum burner operation, resulting in poor cooker perfor-
mance.
Quick Disconnect Gas Connection
Gas fryers equipped with casters must be installed with connectors that comply with the Standard for Connectors for Movable
Gas Appliances, ANSI Z223.1 Latest Edition, and Addenda Z21.69A Latest Edition. This connection should include a quick
disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel , ANSI Z223.1 Latest
Edition. When installing a quick disconnect you must also install a means for limiting the movement of the fryer. This device
will prevent the gas line or the quick disconnect from being strained. The restraining device should be attached to the cooker
on the back panel.
Fuel Supply Line Leak and Pressure Testing
The fuel supply system must be tested before the fryer is used. If the fuel line is going to be tested at a pressure greater than
(>)1/2 PSIG (3.45 kPa), make sure that the fryer is disconnected from the fuel line. If the fuel line is to be tested at a pressure
equal to or less than (<) 1/2 PSIG (3.45 kPa), the fryer can be connected but the unit's gas valve must be shut. Test all gas
line connections for leaks with a solution of soap and water when pressure is applied.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The electrical service used by the fryer must comply with local codes. If there are no local codes that apply, refer to the National
Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70 to install the service. In Canada refer to CSA Standard C22.1 and local codes. Wiring
diagrams are provided inside the fryer control box.
Ventilation and Fire Safety Systems
Your new fryer must have proper ventilation to function safely and properly. Exhaust gas temperatures can reach as high
as 1000°F. Therefore, it is very important to install a fire safety system. Your ventilation system should be designed to allow
for easy cleaning. Frequent cleaning of the ventilation system and the fryer will reduce the chances of fire. Table 1-2 provides
a list of reference documents that provide guidance on ventilation and fire safety systems. This table is not necessarily
complete. Additional information can be obtained from the CSA-International, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland,
OH 44131.
Excessive ventilation causes drafts, which will interfere with the proper operation of the pilot and the burner. Leave at
least 18 inches of open space between the fryer's flue vent opening and the intake of the exhaust hood.
CAUTION
Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the fryer's flue opening.
Down drafts will not allow the fryer to exhaust properly and will cause overheating which may
cause permanent damage. Damage caused by down drafts will not be covered under
equipment warranty. NEVER allow anything to obstruct the flow of combustibles or
ventilation exiting from the fryer flue. DO NOT put anything on top of the flue area.
NOTICE
NEVER connect the blower directly to the flue openings. The direct flow of air will cause poor
temperature recovery, poor ignition, inefficient operation of the fryer, and could extinguish
the pilot.
Gas Line Requirements
A properly installed gas supply system will deliver 7.0 ± 2.0" w.c. natural gas (12.0 ± 2.0" w.c. LP) to all appliances
connected to the line, operating at full demand.
NOTICE
Do NOT exceed 13.5” W.C. pressure as damage may occur to the gas valve.
