Clearances
From Combustible material 6” (152mm) sides and rear. A
clearance of 0.0” to non combustible construction as sides
& rear is acceptable. The fryer is suitable for installation on
combustible fl oor.
Gas Connections and Piping Sizing
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 nation Fuel
Codebook.
Before connecting new pipe to your GARLAND Fryer, the
pipe must be thoroughly blown out to depose 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 one on
male threads. Use compound that is impervious to the action
of Propane gases. Do not put any on the fi rst two threads.
This will prevent fouling the controls and clogging the pilot
and main burner orifi ces.
Make sure that 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 doe 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 rust.
Casters
A. The installation shall be made with a connector that
complies with the Standard for Connectors for Moveable
Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69/CSA 6.16, Addenda Z21.69B-
2006/CSA 6.16B-2006 (or latest edition), and a quick-
disconnect device that complies with the Standard for
Quick Disconnects for Use with Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41/
CSA 6.9, Addenda Z21.41A-2005/CSA 6.16A-2005 (or
latest edition).
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 (connection 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 fl ange. Repeat at rear of unit making sure all
four legs are adjusted to same height. Legs can be adjusted
to overcome an uneven fl oor.
CAUTION: These types of GARLAND Fryers cannot be
installed on a masonry base or without proper clearance
from fl oor. Primary air is supplied to the ‘jet – type” burner
from the front and mainly from the bottom of the fryer. If
installed on a masonry base or directly on fl oor without
the use of the factory supplied 6” (152mm) legs or casters,
improper combustion will occur.
