Electrical Connection; Ventilation And Fire Safety Systems - Pitco 20 Installation And Operation Manual

1.4.3 Electrical Connection

The electrical service used by the fryer must comply with local codes. If there are no local codes that
apply, refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC) to install the service. In Canada refer to CSA
Standard C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 & 2, and local codes. Wiring diagrams are provided
inside the fryer control box. The power requirements for the fryer are shown below.
Input Voltage
Current per fryer
The fryer is equipped with an oil proof, electrical supply cord with a three
prong safety plug. This is to protect operators from electrical shock hazard
in the event of an equipment malfunction. DO NOT cut or remove the
grounding (third) prong from this plug.
If your fryer uses line current (electric power), a supply cord will be furnished
with a three prong (grounding) plug. This plug provides protection against
shock hazards in the event of equipment malfunction. The plug should be
plugged into a properly grounded three prong receptacle.
The fryer has one power supply which supplies power to the fryer controls. The fryer must be
grounded in accordance with local code; if there is not a local code, comply with NEC ANSI/NFPA
No. 70-1990. It is advised that this power supply be plugged into a wall receptacle that is controlled
by the ventilation control. This will prevent the fryer from being operated without the ventilator on.

1.4.4 Ventilation and Fire Safety Systems

Your new fryer must have proper ventilation to function safely and properly. Exhaust gas
temperatures can reach as high as 1200°F. Therefore, it is very important to install a fire safety
system. Your ventilation system should be designed to allow for easy cleaning. Frequent cleaning
of the ventilation system and the fryer will reduce the chances of fire. Table 1-2 provides a list of
reference documents that provide guidance on ventilation and fire safety systems. This table is not
necessarily complete. Additional information can be obtained from the American Gas Association,
