Installation Codes And Standards - Vulcan-Hart TK35 Installation & Operation Manual

LOCATION
The equipment area must be kept free and clear of combustible substances.
Minimum clearance from combustible and non-combustible construction is 6" from the sides and 6"
from the back of the fryer. There must be at least 16" clearance between the fryer and any open top
flame units. Adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation must be allowed.
The fryer may be installed on combustible floors.
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
fryer sides or back. Avoid wall-type fans which create air cross currents within the room.
