(OPTIONAL EXTRA)
VENTILATION AND CLEARANCE.
One of the important considerations of efficient fryer operation is ventilation. The
fryer must be installed so that products of combustion are removed efficiently and
the kitchen ventilation system does not produce drafts that interfere with the 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. An extended
flue will change the combustion characteristics of the fryer causing it to be slow to
recover and frequently causing delayed ignition.
