The installer of this unit should be aware of state, county or local code for connecting this equipment to determine if an

EXTERNAL STEP DOWN PRESSURE REGULATOR:
•
All liquid propane fryers must have a pressure step-down regulator on the incoming gas line for safe and efficient
operation.
• Prior to connecting the regulator, check the incoming line pressure. The regulator can only withstand a maximum
pressure of ½ PSI (14” WC). If the line pressure is beyond this limit, a step down the regulator will be required. The
arrow on the bottom shows gas flow direction and should point downstream to the equipment.
FILLING TANK WITH SHORTENING
Solid shortening must NOT be used with fryers. Melting solid shortening will damage the tank and void your warranty.
1.
Close the drain valve.
2.
Fill the fryer tank with liquid shortening.
3. Shortening level should be between the min and max lines in the fryer tank.
4.
Shortening will expand when heated. Do not fill the fryer tank past the MAX line.
5. Add fresh shortening as needed to maintain oil level.
