protection against electrical shock hazard in the event of equipment malfunc-
tion. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding (third) prong from this plug. This
plug must be plugged into a properly grounded three prong receptacle.
The fryer has one power supply for the fryer controls and the filter module. The fryer must be
grounded in accordance with local code; if there is not a local code, comply with NBC ANSI/NFP A

the filter line heat tape.
1.4.4 VentilatioD 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 chan~ of fire. Table 1-2 provides a list of
referen~ 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,
