2. PRE-INSTALLATION
GENERAL:
Installation of any heavy-duty electrical
appliance should be made by a licensed
electrician.
STANDARDS:
Installation must be planned in accordance with
all applicable state and local codes, taking into
account the following standards:
a) Nat'l Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA
#70-1984:
American National Standards Institute
1430 Broadway
New York, NY 10018
b) NFPA Standards #96 and #211:
National Fire Protection Association
470 Atlantic Avenue
Boston, MA 02110
CAUTION
Local building codes will usually not permit a
deep fat fryer with its open tank of hot oil to be
installed beside an open flame of any type,
whether a broiler or the open burner of a range.
Check local codes before beginning installation.
AIR SUPPLY & VENTILATION:
The area around the appliance must be kept
clear to avoid obstruction to the flow of
ventilation air as well as for ease of
maintenance and service. Under no conditions
is the interior of the fryer's cabinet to be used
for storage.
a) Means must be provided for any
commercial heavy-duty cooking
appliance to exhaust cooking vapors to
the outside of the building.
b) Filters and drip-throughs should be part
of any industrial hood, but consult local
codes before constructing and installing
any hood.
3. RECEIVING &
INSTALLING THE FRYER
UNPACKING:
Check that the container is upright. Use
outward prying - no hammering - to remove the
carton. Check the fryer(s) for visible damage; if
such damage has occurred, do not refuse
shipment, but contact the carrier and file the
appropriate freight claims. Do not contact the
factory, as the responsibility for shipping
damage is between the shipper and the dealer
or end-user.
Remove, unwrap, wash, and temporarily set
aside any accessories shipped in the fryer
vessel. These may include:
Basket hanger with baskets
Wire crumb screen
Goofer rod (clean-out rod)
Drain pipe extension
Lifters, scoops
Vessel cover
Teflon cleaning brush
Legs
LEGS:
Legs should be installed near where the
appliance is to be used. After unpacking, raise
the unit about a foot to permit the legs to be
screwed into their couplings, and lower it gently
to keep any undue strain from the legs and
internal mounting hardware. It is strongly
recommended that a pallet or lift jack be used
rather than tilting.
POSITIONING:
Do not push against any of the edges of the unit
in an attempt to adjust its position. Lift it slightly
and place it where it is to be installed. Although
all metal parts are deburred during
manufacture, accidents could occur if the fryer
(or a line-up) should move suddenly while being
pushed into position by hand. Pushing a unit
(rather than using a lift jack) also increases the
probability of bending the leg spindles or the
internal coupling connectors.
