MODEL #8065NS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
After unpacking your UNIVERSAL GAS FRYER, set it on a counter where you intend to use it.
Remove all tape.
Observe the following clearances:
Front and sides: 10 inches
Back and front: 10 inches
Ensure proper clearances for air supply and maintenance.
NOTE:
Locate the fryer on a base that is strong enough to safely support the fryer when full of oil. The
base should be rated for a minimum of 150 lbs. (This is the approximate weight of the fryer when
full of oil). To restrain fryer use 3/8-16 bolts through the counter into tapped holes in the bottom of
the fryer.
INSTALLATION
When installing your GAS FUNNEL CAKE FRYER, you must conform with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, to National Fuel Gas code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).
NOTE:
Some local codes may require ventilation hoods or automatic fire systems. During any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at pressure equal to or less than ½ psig (3.45 kPa), the
appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve. After installation, all gas connections must be checked for leaks with a soap
solution.
Do not use a match or flame to check for leaks – you may cause a fire or explosion!
TYPES OF GAS
The data plate is marked at the factory to indicate the type of gas the appliance uses. The
8065NS is designed for Propane only , and should be operated on a 40# propane cylinder .
ALTITUDE RANGE
The factory has sized the orifices for elevations up to 2000 feet above sea level. For high altitude
applications, please contact Gold Medal customer service.
Gas is safe when used properly, but can be very dangerous when used improperly. We suggest
that installation be carefully made by qualified personnel only. Gas companies have competent
service personnel to provide safe installation.
