Provide a restraining device for the gas line to limit movement of the fryer without depending on the
connector and/or any quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit movement of the fryer.
Attach the restraint to the rear of the fryer (Fig. 1).
If it is necessary to disconnect the restraint, turn off the gas supply before disconnection. Reconnect
the restraint before turning the gas supply on and returning the fryer to its installation position.
Instructions for installing casters to the fryer are included with the casters.

GAS CONNECTIONS

CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to
the action of liquefied petroleum gases.
The gas inlet is located at the rear of the fryer on the lower left-hand side.
Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the fryer.
The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of
disconnect flex hose,
sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound.
WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR LEAKS.
USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
After piping has been checked for leaks, all piping receiving gas should be fully purged to remove air.

GAS PRESSURES AND ORIFICES

The standard orifices are set at 4" W.C. (Water Column) pressure for natural gas and 10" W.C. (Water
Column) pressure for propane gas. A pressure regulator is supplied as part of the gas control valve.
