Gas Pressure Fryer
Introduction
3
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.
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 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).
