b.
Move the fryer to the desired location and lock the wheels using the locking devices on the sides of the
casters.

Once the unit is in place, check and readjust the levelness as necessary.

1.3.2 Gas Connection

Your fryer will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to provide the
correct gas flow. The gas line must be installed to meet the local building codes or National Fuel Gas Code
(NFPA 54-1984) and ANSI Z223.1-1988 Latest Edition. In Canada, install the fryer in accordance with
CAN/CGA-B 149.1 or .2 and local codes. Gas line sizing requirements can be determined by your local gas
company by referring to National Fuel Gas Code, Appendix C, Table C-4 (natural gas) and Table C-16
(propane). The gas line needs to be large enough to supply the necessary amount of fuel to all appliances
without losing pressure to any appliance. Other factors that are used to determine the piping requirements
are BTU requirements of the appliances being connected and the length of pipe between the meter (main
shut off) and the appliances.
NEVER supply the fryer with a gas that is not indicated on the data plate. Using
the incorrect gas type will cause improper operation. If you need to convert the
fryer to another type of fuel, contact your dealer.

1.3.2.1 Fuel Types

Each fryer is equipped to work with one type of fuel. The type of fuel with which the appliance is intended
to operate is stamped on the data plate attached to the inside of the door.

1.3.2.2 Gas Line Connection

Connect the fryer to the gas supply line with a connector that complies with the Standard for Connectors for
Movable Gas Appliances (ANSI Z21.69-1987). If you are installing a fryer with casters using a quick
disconnect refer to the Quick Disconnect installation instruction, 1.3.2.3. Connect the gas line to the fryer
using a pipe joint sealant that is resistant to liquefied petroleum. If the fryer was disconnected during the fuel
line testing, use a solution of soap and water to leak test the new connection.
NEVER use an adaptor to make a smaller gas supply line fit the cooker
connection. This may not allow proper gas flow for optimum burner operation,
resulting in poor cooker performance.
