GR SERIES GAS FRYERS
FLUE CONNECTION
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.
Caution: Never allow anything to obstruct
the flow of combustibles or
ventilation exiting from the flue.
Caution: Do not put anything on top of
the flue area.
Caution: Never connect blower directly
to flue openings. The direct flow
of air will cause poor ignition,
poor temperature recovery,
inefficient operation of the fryer,
and could extinguish the pilot.
Make the flue connection as follows:
• Comply with Vapor Removal from
Cooking Equipment, ANSI-NFPA Standard
#96 (latest edition), available from the
National Fire Protection Association,
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
• Locate the fryer under a hood with adequate
connection to an exhaust duct. The hood
must extend 6" (15 cm) beyond fryer sides.
• Clearance above the fryer should be
adequate for combustion byproducts to be
removed efficiently.
• An 18" (46 cm) minimum clearance should
be maintained between the flue vent and the
filters of the hood venting system.
• Never make flue connections directly to
the fryer.
• Do not obstruct the flow of the flue gases
from the appliance. Proper air balance
should be maintained in the room.
GAS CONNECTION
WARNING: NEVER SUPPLY FRYER WITH
A GAS TYPE NOT INDICATED
ON THE DATA PLATE. USING
INCORRECT GAS TYPE WILL
CAUSE IMPROPER
OPERATION. IF YOU NEED TO
CONVERT THE FRYER TO
ANOTHER TYPE OF FUEL,
CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED
SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
Caution: All gas supply connections and
any pipe joint compound must
be resistant to the action of
propane gases.
Note: When using thread compound, use very
small amounts on male threads only.
DO NOT apply compound to the first
two threads. Doing so may allow some
of the compound to enter the gas stream,
resulting in clogging of burner orifices
and/or the control valve.
The gas inlet is located on the lower rear of the
fryer. Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be
installed in the gas line ahead of the fryer.
The gas supply line must be at least the
equivalent of 1/2" (1.3 cm) iron pipe for single
units and 1-1/4" (3.2 cm) for batteries. If using
the optional quick-disconnect flex hose,
3/4" (1.9 cm) iron pipe for single units and
1-1/4" (3.2 cm) iron pipe for batteries.
Make sure the pipes are clean and free of
obstructions, dirt, and piping compound. A battery
requires one or two connections of appropriate
size and type for the gas requirement.
WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK
ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS
SUPPLY LINE FOR LEAKS.
USE SOAP AND WATER
SOLUTION. DO NOT USE
AN OPEN FLAME.
After piping has been checked for leaks, fully
purge gas pipes to remove air.
