Inspection for Shipping Damage
It is the owners’ responsibility to file all freight claims with the delivering truck line. Inspect all cartons and crates
for damage as soon as they arrive. If damage to cartons or crates is found, or if a shortage is found, note this on
the bill of lading (all copies) prior to signing.
If damage is found when the equipment is opened, immediately call the delivering truck line and follow up the call
with a written report indicating concealed damage to your shipment. Ask for an immediate inspection of your
concealed damage item. Packaging material
MUST
be retained to show the inspector from the truck line.
Preparation
There are several things the installer must know before installing the fryer. These are listed below:
•
The fryer installation must conform with city or county standards for gas appliances and gas piping. If your
area does not have local codes, consult the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54
, or the
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1
. In Europe, city and country codes are enforced.
•
The fryer must be electrically grounded to conform with the local code of your city or county. If your area
does not have local codes, consult the latest version of the
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70
, or
the
Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2
. In EUROPE,
city and country codes are enforced.
•
A schematic diagram of the unit is glued to the back of either the left or right side panel.
•
The Authorized Service Agent that installs your fryer must connect the cord set at the rear of the fryer to
an electrical source with a voltage matching that stamped on the name and rating tag. Refer to the wiring
diagrams in this manual.
•
Make sure a connector is used that complies with the Standard for
Connectors for Movable Gas
Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 • CSA 6.16
.
•
Make sure a quick-disconnect device is used that complies with the Standard for
Quick-Disconnect
Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 • CSA 6.9
.
•
In Europe, the installer must supply the gas supply connector.
•
Make sure a restraining device is used that complies with the Standard for
Commercial Gas Ranges,
ANSI Z83.11/CGA 1.8
(such as BKI part number FT0279) to guard against transmission of strain to the
connector.
•
Retain the manual for future reference.
Location and Clearance
Install your fryer in a well-ventilated area. This will ensure that the gas burns properly and will help prevent any
fires. When deciding on a location for your fryer, remember the following:
•
All gas-burning appliances need enough fresh air for combustion.
•
Locate the fryer where it can be vented into an adequate exhaust hood. Your local gas utility must
approve your ventilation system. Consult a ventilation or heating company to help you design an
adequate system that meets ventilation codes and standards for your city or county. In Europe, install
according to local codes.
•
Keep the fryer away from any combustibles such as curtains, wood paneling, boxes, or towels. The flue
riser at the rear of the fryer should also be kept away from any flammable material.
