LOCATION
The equipment area must be kept free and clear of combustible substances. Minimum clearance from
combustible construction is 6" (152.4mm) from the sides and 6" (152.4mm) from the back of the fryer;
minimum clearance from non-combustible construction is 0" from the sides and back of the fryer. There
must be at least 16" (406.4mm) clearance between the fryer and any open top flame units. Adequate
clearances for servicing and proper operation must be allowed.
Install the fryer in an area with sufficient air supply for combustion of the gas at the fryer burners.
Provide adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber. Do not obstruct the flow
of combustion and ventilation air.
Do not permit fans to blow directly at the fryer. Wherever possible, avoid open windows next to the
sides or back of the fryer. Avoid wall-type fans which create air cross currents within the room.

ASSEMBLY
Legs
Position fryer in an open space near the final installation area. Tilt fryer back, being careful to avoid
scratching the finish. Thread front legs clockwise into mounting plates provided on the bottom of the
fryer until seated. Tilt to front and thread back legs similarly. Carefully raise fryer to its normal position
and place it in the installing location.
Casters (Optional)
If the fryer is equipped with casters, the gas connector (available from Vulcan-Hart) must comply with
the Standard for Connectors of Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI-Z21.69 (latest edition), and a quick-
disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas
Fuel, ANSI-Z21.41 (latest edition).
When casters are installed, provide a restraining device for the gas line to limit movement of the fryer
without depending on the connector and/or any quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit
fryer movement. Attach the restraining device to the rear of the fryer (Fig. 1).
If it is necessary to disconnect the restraint, turn off the gas supply before disconnection. Reconnect
the restraint before turning the gas supply on and returning the fryer to its installation position.
Instructions for installing casters to the fryer are included with the casters.
