3. Areas with a minimum clearance of 6" side, 6" rear and 6" from the floor for combustible construction. YSCFC24 Series flatbottom gas fryers must be installed with the casters provided. Locking casters should be installed on the front (cook side) of the fryer.
2.5 ALTITUDE The input rating (BTU/hr) of YSCFC24 Series fryers is rated for elevations up to 2,000 feet (610 Meters). For elevations above 2,000 feet (610 Meters), the rating should be reduced four percent for each additional 1,000 feet (305 Meters) above sea level.
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.
The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the appliance. YSCFC24 Series gas fryers use a 3/4" NPT (Schedule 40) inlet; however, the gas supply lines must be sized to accommodate all the gas-fired equipment that may be connected to that supply.
Always consult the wiring diagram mounted on the fryer when troubleshooting or repairing the fryer. YSCFC24 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.
