Pre-Connection Preparations

Do not connect this appliance to the gas supply before completing each step in this
section.
After the fryer has been positioned under the 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 installation instructions are packed with
the flexible hose in the accessories box that was shipped with your unit.
2. Single unit fryers must be stabilized by installing restraining chains on appliances equipped with
casters or anchor straps on appliances equipped with legs. Follow the instruction shipped with
the casters/legs to properly install the chains or straps.
Do not attach an apron drain board to a single unit. The appliance may become
unstable, tip over, and cause injury. The appliance area must be free and clear of
combustible material at all times.
3. Level fryers equipped with legs by screwing 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) when the appliance consumes more than 120,000 BTU per hour.
For fryers equipped with casters, there are no built-in leveling devices. The floor where the fryer
is to be installed must be level.
4. Test the fryer electrical system:
a. Plug the fryer electrical cord(s) into a grounded electrical receptacle.
b. Place the power switch in the "ON" position.
• For fryers equipped with thermostat controls, verify that the power and heat lights are lit.
• For fryers having computer or digital displays, verify that the display indicates
c. Place the fryer power switch in the "OFF" position. Verify that the power and heat lights are
out, or that the display 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 before connecting the fryer quick-disconnect device or
piping from the gas supply line.
