If the fryer is installed with
legs, do not push the fryer to adjust its position.
Use a pallet or lift jack to lift the fryer slightly, then
place the fryer where it is to be installed.
B. Relocating the fryer:
Remove all weight from
each leg before moving a fryer with legs installed.
Do not slide the fryer on the legs.
C. If a leg becomes damaged, contact your service
agent for immediate repair/replacement.
3.2 Leveling the Fryer (Fryers equipped
with legs only)
A. All Installations
: If the fl oor is uneven or has a
defi nite slope, place the fryer on a level platform.
B. Place a spirit level across the top of the fryer and
level the unit both front-to-back and side-to-side. If
it is not level, the unit may not function effi ciently,
the oil may not drain properly for fi ltering and in a
line-up it may not match adjacent units.
C. Adjust to the high corner and measure with the
spirit level. If fl oor is uneven, level the unit
with the screw adjustments on each leg (
ensure
minimum clearances as discussed in Chapter 2
are maintained during the leveling procedure
).

fryer following the above instructions.
E
. The install must be reviewed at the time of

either legs or casters provided.
