INSTALLATION Continued
B. The front casters of the unit are equipped with brakes
to limit the movement of the fryer without depending
on the connector and any quick disconnect device or its
associated piping to limit the appliance movement.
C. Please be aware, required restraint is attached to a
bracket on the fryer (connections point is located on the
left rear caster of the fryer), and if disconnection of the
restraint is necessary, be sure to reconnect the restraint
after the fryer has been returned to its originally installed
position.
NOTE: When installed, the fryer must be restrained to
prevent tipping in order to avoid the splashing of hot liquid.
The means of restraint may be the manner of installation,
such as connection to a battery of appliances or installing the
fryer in an alcove, or by separate means, such as adequate
ties.
Legs
Raise front of the unit and block. Do not lay unit on its back.
Position leg insert into leg retainer opening and tap up until
it seats at collar flange. Repeat at rear of unit making sure all
four legs are adjusted to same height. legs can be adjusted to
overcome an uneven floor.
Clearances:
From Combustible material 6” sides and rear. A clearance
of 0.0” to noncombustible construction as sides & rear
is acceptable. The fryer is suitable for installation on
combustible floors.
Gas Connections
The size of the gas line is very important. If the line is too
small, the gas pressure at the burner manifold will be low.
This will cause slow recovery, delayed ignition, and pilot
outage. Refer to the Gas Line Sizing Chart in the National Fuel
code book.
Before connecting new pipe to your GARLAND Fryer, the
pipe must be thoroughly blown out to dispose of all foreign
particles. If these foreign particles get into the burner and
controls they will cause improper and sometimes dangerous
operation.
When using thread compound, use it sparingly and only on
male threads. Use compound that is impervious to the action
of Propane gasses. Do not put any on the first two threads.
This will prevent fouling the controls and clogging the pilot
and main burner orifices.
Make sure the installer checks all plumbing with a soap
solution for leaks. DO NOT USE A FLAME, MATCHES,
CANDLES, or other ignition source in checking for leaks.
Frypot
Before leaving the factory, the fryer was tested, and the
thermostat, was calibrated, with oil in the frypot; therefore,
it is necessary to clean the frypot before adding frying
compound. Rinse the frypot with clean water, then put
some fryer cleaner on a damp cloth, full strength, and wipe
the entire frypot clean. Rinse it thoroughly and wipe dry.
The fryer is now ready for use. If the fryer does not have a
stainless steel frypot and is not to be used immediately after
cleaning, coat the entire frypot surface with shortening or
cooking oil to prevent rusting.
Ventilation and Air Supply
One of the most important considerations is ventilation.
The fryer must be installed so that products of combustion
are removed efficiently, but so that the kitchen ventilation
system does not produce drafts that interfere with proper
burner operation. The fryer flue opening must NOT be placed
close to the intake of the exhaust fan.
The fryer must never have its flue extended in a “chimney”
fashion. This changes the combustion characteristics of the
fryer. This will cause the fryer to be slow to recover, frequently
cause delayed ignition, and sometimes cause pilot outage.
The ideal method of ventilating a fryer is the use of a
properly designed canopy which should extend six inches
(6”) beyond all sides of the appliance and six feet (6’) six
inches (6”) from the floor.
Many operators do not realize that the finest ventilation
system will break down when it is not maintained properly.
The duct system, the hood, and the filter bank must be
cleaned on a regular basis and kept free of grease.
Adequate distances must be maintained from the flue outlet
of the fryer to the lower edge of the filter bank. Filters should
never be installed in the horizontal position. They should be
installed at an angle of 45 degrees, and a drip tray should be
located beneath the lowest edge of the filter. NFPA Standard
No. 96 states that “A Minimum distance of 18” should be
maintained between the flue outlet and the lower edge of the
grease filter.” We recommend that the “minimum distance be
24” from the flue outlet to the bottom edge of the filter when
the appliance consumes more than 120,000 B.T.U. per hour.
