1.4.3 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) to install the service. In Canada refer to CSA
Standard C22.1 and local codes. Wiring diagrams are provided inside the fryer control box. The
power requirements for the fryer are shown below.

WARNING
The fryer is equipped with an oil proof, three prong (grounding) plug for your
protection against electrical shock hazard in the event of equipment malfunc-
tion. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding (third) prong from this plug. This
plug must be plugged into a properly grounded three prong receptacle.
1.4.3.1 Electrical System with UFM Filter System - The fryer has one power supply for the fryer
controls and the filter module. The fryer must be grounded in accordance with local code; if there
is not a local code, comply with NEC ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990. It is advised that this power supply
be plugged into a wall receptacle that is controlled by the ventilation control. This will prevent the
fryer from being operated without the ventilator on. The UFM filter system also has a power cord
which is plugged into the receptacle mounted in the fryer.
1.4.3.2 Electrical System with Built-In Filter System - The fryer has one power supply for the
fryer controls only. The Built-In filter system is supplied with its own power cord (when the fryer
does not need power). When the fryer has power, the filter is plugged into the fryer. The fryer must
be grounded in accordance with local code; if there is not a local code, comply with NEC ANSI/NFPA
No. 70-1990 (or most current). It is advised that this power supply be plugged into a wall receptacle
that is controlled by the ventilation control. This will prevent the fryer from being operated without
the ventilator on. This power cord is also a three prong cord for operator protection. This cord must
be plugged into a three prong receptacle to ensure complete electrical malfunction protection.
1.4.4 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 1200°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 American Gas Association,
