Installation

•
Use this fryer on non-combustible flooring only. Examples of non-combustible floors where you can safely
locate your fryer are concrete, tile, and ceramic. Minimum clearance from combustible and non-
combustible construction is 0 inches from the sides and 6 inches from the flue riser at the rear.
DO NOT
locate your fryer on floors that are wood, have rubber mats, or, are carpeted. In Europe, no less than 6"
(15.24 cm.) from the rear and 0" to the sides of non-combustible walls.
•
Keep the work area around the fryer free of objects that might block fresh air or that might cause a fire.
•
Do not attach an extension to the exhaust stack. This may stop the burner from operating properly, cause
the burner to go off, or, cause other dangerous malfunctions. It may also cause a strong draft in the room.
A draft can interfere with the burner.
•
Do not locate the fryer near strong drafts. Keep the fryer away from doors that are opened and closed
frequently.
Installation Procedure
Ensure that an authorized BKI service agent installs the fryer. An authorized BKI service
agent should be a qualified gas service technician and a licensed electrician.
Failure to restrain the fryer could allow it to move, causing hot shortening to spill out, or a
possible break in the gas line causing an explosive condition.
1. Install an ANSI Z83.11/CGA 1.8 compliant restraining device (such as BKI part number FT0279) per the
instructions below:
•
Mount the wall attachment according to the restraining device manufacturer instructions.
•
Attach the spring-loaded hook on the restraining device to the eye-bolt mounted to the fryer then
attach the other spring-loaded hook to the wall attachment.
Use appliance connectors and quick-disconnect devices that are in compliance with the
applicable ANSI and CSA standards.
2. Attach an appliance connector to the fryer according to the instructions provided by the appliance
connector manufacturer.
3. Connect the gas supply to the fryer. In Europe, the gas supplier must provide the gas hookup connecting
line.
4. Lock the casters so the fryer does not move. Every time you use the fryer, make sure the casters are
locked so the fryer cannot move. (In Canada: refer to caster codes CAN 1-6.10 M88 and CAN 1-6.9
M79.)
