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.
NEVER use an adaptor to make a smaller gas supply line fi t the fryer connection. This may
not allow proper gas fl ow for optimum burner operation, resulting in poor fryer performance.

Quick Disconnect Gas Connection

Gas fryers equipped with casters must be installed with connectors that comply with the Standard for Connectors for
Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z223.1 Latest Edition, and Addenda Z21.69A Latest Edition. This connection should
include a quick disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel,
ANSI Z223.1 Latest Edition. When installing a quick disconnect you must also install a means for limiting the movement of
the fryer. This device will prevent the gas line or the quick disconnect from being strained. The restraining device should
be attached to the fryer on the back panel.

Fuel Supply Line Leak and Pressure Testing

The fuel supply system must be tested before the fryer is used. If the fuel line is going to be tested at a pressure greater
than (>)1/2 PSIG (3.45 kPa), make sure that the fryer is disconnected from the fuel line. If the fuel line is to be tested at a
pressure equal to or less than (<) 1/2 PSIG (3.45 kPa), the fryer can be connected but the unit's gas valve must be closed.
Test all gas line connections for leaks with a solution of soap and water when pressure is applied.

Electric 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), ANSI/NFPA 70 to install the service. In Canada refer to CSA Standard C22.1 and local
codes. Wiring diagrams are provided inside the fryer control box.

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 1000°F. Therefore, it is very important to install a fi re 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 fi re. Table
1-2 provides a list of reference documents that provide guidance on ventilation and fi re safety systems. This table is not
necessarily complete. Additional information can be obtained from the CSA-International, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road,
Cleveland, OH 44131.
Excessive ventilation causes drafts, which will interfere with the proper operation of the pilot and the burner. Leave at
least 18 inches of open space between the fryer's fl ue vent opening and the intake of the exhaust hood.
Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the fryer's fl ue opening.
Down drafts will not allow the fryer to exhaust properly and will cause overheating which may
cause permanent damage. Damage caused by down drafts will not be covered under
equipment warranty. NEVER allow anything to obstruct the fl ow of combustibles or
ventilation exiting from the fryer fl ue. DO NOT put anything on top of the fl ue area.
NEVER connect the blower directly to the fl ue openings. The direct fl ow of air will cause poor
temperature recovery, poor ignition, ineffi cient operation of the fryer, and could extinguish

Gas Line Requirements

A properly installed gas supply system will deliver 7.0 ± 2.0" w.c. natural gas (12.0 ± 2.0" w.c. LP) to all appliances
connected to the line, operating at full demand.
Do NOT exceed 13.5" W.C. pressure as damage may occur to the gas valve.
