Frymaster/Dean to perform service on Frymaster/Dean equipment. All authorized service personnel are required to be equipped with a complete set of service parts manuals and stock a minimum amount of parts for Frymaster/Dean equipment. A list of Frymaster/Dean Factory Authorized Service Centers (FASCs) was included with the fryer when shipped from the factory.
Installation must be accomplished in accordance with all applicable state and local codes, with special attention to the following standards: A. The fryer and its individual shut-off valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at pressures in excess of 1/2 PSI.
If pilot or burner problems arise or persist, alteration of air movement patterns will be required. B. Do not place the flue outlet of the fryer directly into the plenum of the hood; fryer gas combustion will be affected.
Systems ordered with optional casters come with casters installed. 3.3 POSITIONING Do not push against any of the edges of the unit to adjust its position. Lift fryer slightly and place it where it is to be installed. Although all metal parts are deburred during manufacture, accidents could occur if the fryer (or a lineup) should move suddenly when being pushed into position by hand.
Disconnect the fryer/individual shut-off valve from the main gas supply when pressure testing systems in excess of 1/2" PSI (3.45 kPa). When pressure-testing systems equal to or less than 1/2" PSI (3.45 kPa), isolate the fryer by closing the manual control valve prior to testing. 3.5.3 Gas Valve/Orifice Configuration LJS 24G Series gas fryers can be connected to either natural or propane gas, depending on the configuration.
3.6 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS The wiring diagram is attached to the inside of the fryer door. Wiring diagrams are also included in this manual for reference. Always consult the wiring diagram mounted on the fryer when troubleshooting or repairing the fryer. LJS 24G Series gas fryers require 120 volts, and are equipped with a 16-3 SJT grounded flexible power cord for direct connection to a 120-volt power supply.
3.7 SYSTEM INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 1. This system consists of a 2424G fryer with a built-in filter and an additional fryer that will be attached to it. The additional fryer may be a 24G, an 1824G or a 2424G. If the additional fryer is an 1824G, the 18- inch frypot must be in the outside position, as shown in the illustration below.
