General Installation Requirements

PROPER INSTALLATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS THAT FOLLOW IS ESSENTIAL
FOR EFFICIENT, TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION OF YOUR FRYER. ANY UNAUTHORIZED
ALTERATIONS MADE TO THIS EQUIPMENT WILL VOID THE FRYMASTER WARRANTY.
Qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel, as defined in Section

Conversion of this appliance from one type of gas to another should only be performed by
qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel as defined in Section 1.5
of this manual.
Failure to use qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel (as
defined in Section 1.5 of this manual) to install, convert to another gas type or otherwise
service this equipment will void the Frymaster warranty and may result in damage to the
equipment or injury to personnel.
Where conflicts exist between instructions and information in this manual and local or
national codes or regulations, installation and operation shall comply with the codes or
regulations in force in the country in which the equipment is installed.
DANGER
Building codes prohibit a fryer with its open tank of hot oil being installed beside an
open flame of any type, including those of broilers and ranges.
Upon arrival, inspect the fryer carefully for visible or concealed damage. (See Shipping Damage
Claim Procedure in Chapter 1.)
CLEARANCE AND VENTILATION
The fryer(s) must be installed with a 6" (150 mm) clearance at both sides and back when installed
adjacent to combustible construction; no clearance is required when installed adjacent to
noncombustible construction. A minimum of 24" (600 mm) clearance should be provided at the
front of the fryer.
DANGER
No structural material on the fryer should be altered or removed to accommodate
placement of the fryer under a hood. Questions? Call the Frymaster/Dean Service
Hotline at 1-800-551-8633.
Ventilation is important. Make sure the fryer is installed to efficiently remove combustion by-
products, and the kitchen ventilation system does not produce drafts, which interfere with burner
operation.
