NOTICE
Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the appliance’s flue opening. A down draft will not allow
the appliance to exhaust properly and will cause overheating, which may cause permanent damage. Damage caused by down
draft will not be covered by the warranty. NEVER allow anything to obstruct the flow of combustibles or ventilation exiting
the appliance. NEVER place anything on top of the flue of the area, or block the flue in any way.
All pipe joints and connectionsmust be tested throughly for gas leaks. Use only soapy water for testing on all gases. Never use
an open flame to check for gas leaks. All connections must be checked for leaks after unit has been put into operation. Test
pressure should not exceed 3.48 KPA
This appliance and its individual combination gas valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressure in excess of 14” WC. (1/2 PSI or 3.45 kPa). If the incoming gas pressure is in
excess of 14” WC (1/2 PSI, 3.45 kPa), a proper step-down regulator will be required.
Connect the gas supply directly to the connector located near the lower rear corner of the fryer. When tightening the supply
pipe, be sure to hold the mating connector extending from the unit securely with a wrench. This will prevent any damage or
distortion to the internal piping and controls of the unit.
NEVER connect the ventilation blower or hood directly to the flue of this appliance. The resulting increased flow of air
through the combustion system will cause improper operation, poor temperature recovery, poor ignition and could extinguish
the pilot.
Make sure all ventilation meet local code requirement
This unit is not intended to be connected directly to an outside flue properly in conjunction with the appliance. Inadequate ventilation may not properly evacuate appliance
all emissions. Excessive or unbalanced ventilation may cause drafts, which could interfere with proper operation of the pilot and burners. Leave at least 460mm of open
space between the flue of the appliance and the intake of the exhaust hood.
Initial Adjustment
After your appliance has been properly installed as described in the installation section of this manual, it will need to be adjusted to ensure that it will perform as designed.
These adjustments must be performed by a qualified person. To perform these adjustments the following tools will be needed:
•
Manometer
•
Digital Thermometer (Temperature Probe)
•
DC Millivolt Meter
Installation and servicing of the equipment should be performed by authorized personnel only and to AS5600
STEP 4: GAS CONNECTION, INSTALLATION AND SERVICING OF THE EQUIPMENT
The gas connection is located near the lower right rear corner of the fryer. The serial plate (located inside the front door of the fryer) indicates the type of gas the unit is
equipped to burn (natural gas or ULPG). The fryer should be connected ONLY to the type of gas for which it is equipped.
A circuit diagram is located inside the front door of the fryer.
All American equipment is adjusted at the factory; however, pilot height should be checked at installation and adjusted, if necessary.
If the fryer is being installed at over 2,000 feet altitude and that information was not specified when ordered, contact the appropriate authorized American Service
Representative or the American Service Department. Failure to install with proper orifice sizing will result in poor performance and may void the warranty.
If applicable, the vent line from the gas appliance pressure regulator shall be installed to the outdoors in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the ULPG Installation Code, CAN/CGA- B149.2. CE Gas Appliance
Directive’s 2009/142//EC (ex-90/396/EEC Annex II, AU AS/NZS 5601, as applicable.
An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the volume of gas necessary for satisfactory performance. A combination gas valve
and pressure regulator, which is provided with each unit, is set to maintain a 1 KPA manifold pressure for natural gas or 2.49 KPA manifold pressure for ULPG. However,
to maintain these conditions the pressure on the supply line, when all units are operating simultaneously, should not drop below 1.74 KPA for natural gas or 2.74 KPA for
propane gas.
Fluctuations of more than 25% on natural gas or 10% on ULPG will create problems and affect burner operating characteristics. A 1/8” tap to measure the manifold
pressure is located on the combination gas valve or manifold, which is on the burner manifold located directly below the burners inside the cabinet.
Purge the supply line to clean out dust, dirt, or other foreign matter before connecting the line to the unit.
It is recommended that an individual manual shutoff valve be installed in the gas supply line to the unit.
Use pipe joint compound that is suitable for use with both natural and ULPG on all threaded connections.
