NOTE: External gas regulators are not normally required on this fryer. A safety control valve pro-
tects the fryer against pressure fluctuations. If the incoming pressure is in excess of ½" PSI (3.45
kPa/35 mbar), a step-down regulator is required.

Connection to Gas Line
Before connecting new pipe to this appliance, the pipe must be blown out thoroughly to
remove all foreign material. Foreign material in the burner and gas controls will cause
improper and dangerous operation.
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of ½
PSI (3.45 kPa, 13.84 inches W.C.) to avoid damage to the fryer's gas tubes and gas
valve(s).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individ-
ual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than ½ PSI (3.45 kPa, 13.84 inches W.C.)
"Dry-firing" your unit will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire. Always en-
sure that cooking oil or water is in the frypot before firing the unit.
All connections must be sealed with a joint compound suitable for the gas being used
and all connections must be tested with a solution of soapy water before lighting any
pilots. Never use matches, candles, or any other ignition source to check for leaks. If
gas odors are detected, shut off the gas supply to the appliance at the main shut-off
valve and immediately contact the local gas company or an authorized service agency
for service.
The size of the gas line used for
installation is very important. If the line is
too small, the gas pressure at the burner
manifold will be low. This may cause slow
recovery and delayed ignition.
incoming gas supply line should be a
minimum of 1½" (38 mm) in diameter.
Refer to the chart (right) for the minimum
sizes of connection piping.
