2.3 Pre-Connection
Preparations
DANGER
DO NOT connect this appliance to the gas supply before completing each step in
this section.
After the fryer has been positioned under the exhaust hood, ensure the following has been
accomplished:
1. Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of fryers without depending upon the
gas line connections. If a flexible gas hose is used, a restraining cable must be connected at all
times when the fryer is in use. The restraining cable and installation instructions are packed with
the flexible hose in the accessories box that was shipped with your unit.
DANGER
Do not attach an apron drainboard to a single fryer. The fryer may become unstable,
tip over, and cause injury. The appliance area must be kept free and clear of
combustible material at all times.
2. Level fryers equipped with legs by screwing out the legs approximately 1 inch then adjusting
them so that the fryer is level and at the proper height in the exhaust hood. Frymaster
recommends that the minimum distance from the flue outlet to the bottom edge of the hood be 24
in. (600 mm) when the appliance consumes more than 120,000 BTU per hour.
NOTE:
There
are no built-in leveling devices on fryers equipped with casters. The floor where the fryer is to
be installed must be level.
3. Test the fryer electrical system:
a.
Plug the fryer electrical cord(s) into a grounded electrical receptacle.
b. Place the computer switch in the
ON
position. Verify that the display indicates
MLT-
CYCL
.
c. Place the computer power switch in the
OFF
position. Verify that the display indicates
OFF
.
4. Refer to the data plate on the inside of the fryer door to determine if the fryer burner is configured
for the proper type of gas before connecting the fryer quick-disconnect device or piping from the
gas supply line.
5. Verify the minimum and maximum gas supply pressures for the type of gas to be used in
accordance with the accompanying tables on the following page.
