Pre-Connection Preparations
DANGER
Do not connect fryer to gas supply
before completing each step
in this section.
After the fryer has been positioned under the
fry station exhaust hood, ensure the following
has been accomplished:
1. Adequate means must be provided to limit
the movement of fryers without depending
upon the gas line connections. If a flexible
gas hose is used, a restraining cable must
be connected at all times when the fryer is
in use. The restraining cable and installa-
tion instructions are packed with the flexi-
ble hose in the accessories box that was
shipped with your unit.
2. Single unit fryers must be stabilized by
installing restraining chains on fryers
equipped with casters or anchor straps on
fryers equipped with legs. Follow the in-
structions shipped with the casters/legs to
properly install the chains or straps.
3. Level fryers equipped with legs by screw-
ing out the legs approximately 1 inch then
adjusting them so that the fryer is level and
at the proper height in the exhaust hood.
Frymaster recommends that the minimum

distance from the flue outlet to the bottom
edge of the filter be 24 in. (600 mm).
For fryers equipped with casters, there are no built-in leveling devices. The
floor where the fryer is to be installed must be level.

a. Plug the fryer electrical cord(s) into a
grounded electrical receptacle.

controls, verify that the power and
heat lights are lit.
• For fryers having computers, verify
that the display indicates CYCL.
c. Place the fryer power switch in the
OFF position. Verify that the power
and heat lights are out, or that the dis-
play is blank.
5. Refer to the data plate on the inside of the
fryer door to determine if the fryer burner
is configured for the proper type of gas be-
fore connecting the fryer to the gas supply
line.
