INSTALLATION
General Installation Requirements
PROPER INSTALLATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR EFFICIENT, TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION OF YOUR FRYER.
ANY UNAUTHORIZED ALTERATIONS MADE TO THIS EQUIPMENT WILL VOID THE MONTAGUE COMPANY
WARRANTY.
Upon arrival, inspect the fryer carefully for visible or concealed damage.
CLEARANCE AND VENTILATION
The fryer(s) must be installed with a 6" (150 mm) clearance at both sides and back when
installed adjacent to combustible construction; no clearance is required when installed adja-
cent to noncombustible construction. A minimum of 24" (600 mm) clearance should be pro-
vided at the front of the fryer.
One of the most important considerations of efficient fryer operation is ventilation. Make sure
the fryer is installed to efficiently remove combustion by-products, and the kitchen ventilation
system does not produce drafts that interfere with proper burner operation.
The fryer flue opening must not be placed close to the intake of the exhaust fan, and the fryer
must never have its flue extended in a “chimney” fashion. An extended flue will change the
combustion characteristics of the fryer, causing longer recovery time. It also frequently causes
delayed ignition. To provide the airflow necessary for good combustion and burner operation,
the areas surrounding the fryer front, sides, and rear must be kept clear and unobstructed.
Fryers must be installed in an area with an adequate air supply and adequate ventilation.
Adequate distances must be maintained from the flue outlet of the fryer to the lower edge of the
ventilation filter bank. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45º. Place a drip tray beneath
the lowest edge of the filter. For U.S. installation, NFPA standard No. 96 states, “A minimum
distance of 18 in. (450 mm) should be maintained between the flue outlet and the lower edge
of the grease filter.” The Montague Co.
recommends that the minimum distance be 24 in. (600
mm) from the flue outlet to the bottom edge of the filter when the appliance consumes more
than 120,000 BTUs per hour
. Information on construction and installation of ventilating hoods
can be found in the NFPA standard cited above. A copy of the standard may be obtained from
the National Fire Protection Association, Battery March Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
DANGER
Do not attach an apron drainboard to a single fryer. The fryer may become unstable, tip
over, and cause injury. The appliance area must be kept free and clear of combustible
material at all times.
3
INSTALLATION
ALL DEEP FAT FRYERS MUST BE INSTALLED WITH AT LEAST A 16 INCH SPACE
BETWEEN THE FRYER AND SURFACE FLAMES FROM ANY ADJACENT COOKING
EQUIPMENT.
A minimum of 24" should be provided at the front of the unit for servicing and proper
operation. Air for combustion enters the unit from the front of the cabinet. Do not block these
openings at any time.
THE APPLIANCE AREA MUST BE KEPT FREE AND CLEAR OF COMBUSTIBLES.
ASSEMBLY
Uncrate fryer as near to final location as possible. Remove all packing material and
accessories from fryer interior. Then assemble as follows:
1. Screw the adjustable feet of the legs in all the way. Then tightly screw the
complete leg assembly into the mounting holes at each corner of the fryer.
2. Attach basket hanger mount as shown in Figure 1 using bolts that are provided.
SETTING IN PLACE
Battery Arrangement
1. Place the first unit in the exact position it will occupy in the battery.
2. Using a carpenter’s level, level the unit from front to rear and side to side.
Adjust as follows:
FLOOR INSTALLATION ON LEGS: Adjust by turning foot on adjustable leg.
4
INSTALLATION
CURB INSTALLATION: Place shim under the low side. This operation is impor-
tant since variation in floor and curbs are common. Unless ranges are level,
difficulty will be encountered in aligning the gas supply manifold and the ranges
will not butt together tightly.
3. Remove the upper valve panel from the fryer.
4. Move the next unit into position.
5. Engage union nut on manifold with male fitting on next unit and draw up union nut
hand tight. Be sure appliances butt together both front and rear. If manifolds do
not align, then units are not level. In extreme cases, it may be necessary to
loosen manifold bolts and adjust.
6. Continue leveling and connecting gas supply manifolds together until all appli-
ances in battery are connected.
7. Tighten manifold union gas tight. Use back up wrench to prevent manifold from
rotating. FAILURE TO DO THIS MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO PILOTS AND
GAS VALVES.
8.
Lift the flue riser above the fryer and slide posts into position as shown in Figure 2.
GAS APPLIANCE REGULATOR
Each deep fat fryer unit is equipped with a gas pressure regulator as a part of the
combination gas control. It is adjusted for the manifold pressure specified on the fryer
nameplate.
WHEN THE FRYER UNIT MANIFOLD IS INTERCONNECTEDAS PART OF A BATTERY,
A GAS APPLIANCE PRESSURE REGULATOR SUITABLE FOR THE BATTERY
APPLICATION AND ADJUSTED FOR THE MANIFOLD PRESSURE SPECIFIED
ON THE RANGE. NAMEPLATE MUST BE FURNISHED BY THE INSTALLER AT
THE TIME OF INSTALLATION.
5
INSTALLATION
1.Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of fryers without depending upon the gas line
connections. If a flexible gas hose is used, a restraining cable must be connected at all times when the
fryer is in use. The restraining cable and installation instructions are packed with the flexible hose in the
accessories box that was shipped with your unit.
2. Single unit fryers must be stabilized by installing restraining chains on fryers equipped with casters or
anchor straps on fryers equipped with legs. Follow the instructions shipped with the casters/legs to
properly install the chains or straps.
3. Level fryers equipped with legs by extending the adjustable portion of the leg out approximately 1 inch,
and then further adjust the legs, ensuring the fryer is level and at the proper height in the exhaust hood.
Montague recommends that the minimum distance from the flue outlet to the bottom edge of the filter be
24 in. (600 mm) when the appliance consumes more than 120,000 BTU per hour.
Refer to the data plate on the inside of the fryer door to determine if the fryer burner is configured for
the proper type of gas before connecting the fryer quick-disconnect device or piping from the gas supply
line.
Verify that the minimum and maximum gas supply pressures for the type of gas to be used are in accordance
with the following tables.

\INSTALLATION
Connection to Gas Line
The size of the gas line used for installation is very important. If the line is too small, the gas
pressure at the burner manifold will be low. This may cause pilot outage, slow recovery and
delayed ignition. The incoming gas supply line should be a minimum of 1½” (38 mm) in
diameter. Refer to the chart below for the minimum sizes of connection piping.

NOTE: For distances of more than 20 feet (6 m) and/or
more than 4 fittings or elbows, increase the connection by
one pipe size.

INSTALLATION
Before connecting new pipe to your unit, the pipe must be thoroughly blown out to remove any
foreign particles. If these foreign particles get into the burner and controls, they will cause
improper and sometimes dangerous operation.
1. Connect the quick-disconnect hose to the fryer quick-disconnect fitting under the front of the
fryer and to the building gas line.
NOTE: Some fryers are configured for a rigid connection to the gas supply line. These units
are connected to the gas supply line at the rear of the unit.
When using thread compound, use very small amounts on male threads only. Use a pipe
thread compound that is not affected by the chemical action of LP gases (Loctite™ PST56765
Sealant is one such compound). DO NOT apply compound to the first two threads. This will
ensure that the burner orifices and control valve do not become clogged.
2. Open the gas supply to the fryer and check all piping, fittings, and gas connections for leaks.
A soap and water solution should be used for this purpose.
DANGER
Never use matches, candles, or any other ignition source to check for leaks. If gas odors
are detected, shut off the gas supply to the fryer at the main shut-off valve and contact
the local gas company or an authorized service agency for service.
3. Close the fryer drain valve and fill the frypot with water or boil-out solution to the bottom
OIL-LEVEL line at the rear of the frypot. Light the fryer and perform the boil-out procedures
that are described in the “Lighting Instructions” and “Boiling Out the Frypot” topics found in
the OPERATION section of this manual.
WARNING
“Dry-firing” your unit will cause damage to the frypot. Always ensure that melted short-
ening, cooking oil, or water and boil-out solution is in the frypot before firing your unit.

INSTALLATION
4. It is suggested that the burner manifold pressure be checked at this time by the local gas
company or an authorized service agent. Refer to “Check Burner Manifold Pressure” in
MAINTENANCE section of this manual for the proper procedure.
Converting to Another Gas Type
Your fryer is configured at the factory for either natural gas or Propane (LP) gas.
If you desire to switch from one type of gas to another, a gas conversion kit must be
installed by a Montague Company Authorized Service techni cian.
DANGER
Switching to a different type of gas without installing the proper conversion kit may
result in fire or explosion!
NEVER ATTACH YOUR FRYER TO A GAS SUPPLY FOR WHICH IT IS NOT
CONFIGURED!
