Before installing the fryer, verify that the type of gas (natural or propane) is the same as the
specifications on the fryer naming plate which is located at the rear part of the unit. Make sure
the fryer is configured for the proper elevation.
Record your fryer model, device, and serial numbers for future reference in the space provided
below. This information can be found on the fryer data plate.

CLEARANCES
☆Minimum clearance from combustible materials:
6” (15 cm) from the sides of the fryer 6” (15 cm) from the back of the fryer
☆Minimum clearance from noncombustible construction:
0” from the sides of the fryer 0” from the back of the fryer
☆Between the fryer and any open flame equipment:
16” (41 cm)
LOCATION
☆Install fryer in an area with sufficient air supply for gas combustion.
☆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.
ASSEMBLY
The fryer must be restrained to prevent tipping and the 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.
FLUE CONNECTION
Make the flue connection as follows:
☆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 for combustion by-products to be
removed 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.
GAS CONNECTION
All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of
propane gases.
The gasinlet is located on the lower rear of the fryer. 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 ½” (12.7 mm) iron pipe for single units and
1-1/4” (31.75 mm) for batteries.
Make sure the pipes areclean andfree of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound. Abattery
requires one or two connections of appropriate size for the gas requirement.
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, fully purge gas pipes to remove air.
GAS PRESSURES (ALL MODELS):
The available gas pressure should be the same as that indicated on naming plate. If incoming
pressure exceeds 5 kPa, an additional pressure regulator must be installed.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM:
When test pressures exceed 5 kPa, the fryer and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system.
LEVELING THE FRYER
Check that the fryer is level by placing a level on top of the fryer after gas connections have been
made. Ensure that the fryer is level front-to-back and side-to-side in the final installed position.
OPERATION
OVER-TEMPERATURE SHUTDOWN
If the oil becomes overheated, a high-temperature shutoff device will turn the gas valve off and
extinguish the pilot.
If the fryer shuts down due to overheating, DO NOT re-light the pilot until the oil temperature is
below 300°F
If an overheating situation persists, contact qualified technician for help.
BEFORE FIRST USE
New units are wiped down at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, grease, etc.
remaining from the manufacturing process.
Before any food preparation, thoroughly wipe protective oil from all surface parts and the tank
interior with hot soapy water to remove any film residue and dust or debris.
Do not use chlorine or sulfate/sulfide cleaners.
☆Clean fryer and accessories thoroughly and drain the fryer. Wipe tank completely dry with a
soft, clean cloth.
Hot oil and parts can cause burns. Use care when operating, cleaning, and
servicing the fryer.
Spilling hot fryer oil can cause severe burns. Do not move fryer without
draining all fryer oil from the tank.
FILLING TANK WITH SHORTENING
Solid shortening should NOT be used with this type of fryer. Melting solid shortening will
damage the tank.
☆Close the drain valve.
☆Fill the fryer tank with liquid shortening.
☆Shortening level should be between the min and max lines in the fryer tank.
☆Shortening will expand when heated. Do not fill the fryer tank past the
MAX line.
