WARNING
The fryer must be properly restrained to prevent movement or tipping. This
restraint must prevent the fryer from movements that would splash hot liquids
on personnel. This restraint may be any means (alcove installation, adequate
ties, or battery installation).
1.4.1 Installation Clearances
The fryer needs clearance around it for proper operation. Adequate clearances allow for servicing
and proper burner operation. The clearances shown below are for cooker installation in combustible
and non-combustible construction.

In addition to the clearances required for proper fryer operation, there must be at least 28 inches of
isle space in front of the fryer to remove/install the filter pan/module.
1.4.2 Gas Connection
Your fryer will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to provide the
correct gas flow. The gas line must be installed to meet the local building codes or National Fuel Gas
Code (NFPA 54-1984) and ANSI Z223.1-1988 Latest Edition. In Canada, install the fryer in
accordance with CAN/CGA-B149.1 or .2 and local codes. Gas line sizing requirements can be
determined by your local gas company by referring to National Fuel Gas Code, Appendix C, Table
C-4 (natural gas) and Table C-16 (propane). The gas line needs to be large enough to supply the
necessary amount of fuel to all appliances without losing pressure to any appliance. Other factors
that are used to determine the piping requirements are BTU requirements of the appliances being
connected and the length of pipe between the meter (main shut off) and the appliances.
WARNING
NEVER supply the fryer with a gas that is not indicated on the data plate.
Using the incorrect gas type will cause improper operation. If you need to
convert the fryer to another type of fuel, contact your dealer.
1.4.2.1 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.
