valve may be needed between the gas supply pipeline and gas-pressure regulator. Whether the installation
of a gas shut-off valve has any local requirements should be judged by the gas installation professional.
7. Coat some dedicated pipe sealant for gas pipeline in all the pipe joints. The sealant should be rated for use
with and resistant to the action of gas.
8. After connecting the appliance to the gas system, check for leaks at joints and pipe fittings; to do so, use
soapy water or a specific leak detector (spray). DO NOT use open flame.
9. When first started, it may take a little longer to light due to the air existing in the new pipeline. If it doesn't
light up, turn the ignition switch off for 3min to allow any gas to exhaust before trying again to prevent
from deflagration.
10. This appliance should be installed on a stable, level and non-combustible surface (e.g. cement, ceramic tile,
terrazzo or metal surface). Check all local regulations. Make sure to leave clearance for proper ventilation.
11. The device should only be used when the legs are installed correctly and the item is stable and level.
12. This device should only be used in a non-combustible area.
13. The appliance should have a minimum clearance of 6" (15 cm) on both sides and in back, and a minimum of
16" (41cm) between the fryer and any source of open flame.
14. The installation should allow for proper air flow for combustion and should not block exhaust and
ventilation. ALWAYS follow all regulations regarding venting and exhaust.
15. Make sure the exhaust does not interfere with the air intake of the device.
16. After installation, level the device and keep stable. DO NOT move or tilt the device during operation.
NOTE: DO NOT block or interfere with the ventilation needed during normal operation.
NOTE: The fryer must be restrained or installed in a manner that prevents tipping and splashing of hot liquid.
The means of restraint may be the manner of installation, such as connection to a battery of appliances, installing
the fryer in an alcove, or by separate means such as adequate ties.
LOCATION
• Install fryer in an area with sufficient air supply for gas combustion at fryer burners.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• Provide adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber.
• DO NOT permit fans to blow directly onto fryer.
• Avoid wall-type fans, which create cross-currents within a room.
• Avoid open windows next to sides or back.
FLUE CONNECTION
• Locate the fryer under a hood with adequate connection to an exhaust duct. The hood must extend 6" (15 cm)
beyond fryer on both sides.
• Clearance above the fryer should be adequate to remove gas and grease vapors efficiently.
• An 18" (46 cm) minimum clearance should be maintained between the flue vent and the filters of the hood
venting system.
• Never make flue connections directly to the fryer.
• DO NOT obstruct the flow of the gases from the appliance.
• Proper air balance should be maintained in the room.
