Specific Precautions
Risk of fire exists if the oil level drops below 5mm of the maximum oil level.
Use of oil/shortening older than the manufacturer’s recommendations for life of
the oil is prone to surge boiling and flash fires. Follow the oil manufacturer’s
guidelines for the life cycle of oil/shortening.
Do not open the drain valve or the fill valve while the fryer is in operation. Serious
burns may result.
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of
this or any other appliance.
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause
property damage, injury or death. Read the installation, operation and
maintenance instructions thoroughly before installing or servicing this equipment.
California Residents Only
This product can expose you to chemicals including chromium, and lead which
are known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. For more information go to

Follow instructions regarding effects of surge boiling of over-wet foods and proper
load size.
Equipotential ground plane
When a high current flows through a conductor, differences in potential appear
between the conductor and nearby metallic surfaces near the appliance. As a
result, sparks may be produced between the appliance and surrounding metal
surfaces. These sparks could cause serious injury, damage, or fire.
BKI provides an Equipotential ground terminal for the connection of a bonding
conductor after the installation of the appliance per lEC60417-1. This terminal is
located on the inside of the Power Entry Supply box near the Earth connection
and is marked with this symbol.
Full Disconnection
In accordance with Local and/or National wiring codes, the installer must provide
a means of full disconnection under over voltage Category III conditions. An IEC
approved cord and plug combination will meet this requirement.
Units not provided with a cord and plug do not meet this requirement. In
accordance with Local and/or National wiring codes, the installer must provide the
means of full disconnection.
The fryer is designed to hold a maximum of 75lbs (34KG) of oil/shortening.
The purchaser must post, in a prominent location, instructions to be followed in
the event the user smells gas. This information shall be obtained by consulting the
local gas supplier.
