Installation
MINIMUM CLEARANCE FROM NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION:
•
0” from the sides of the fryer.
•
0” from the back of the fryer.
• Between the fryer and any open-top flame units: 16” (41 cm).
LOCATION
• Minimum ambient temperature for safe use is -25°C.
•
Install fryer outdoors only, on level ground, free of debris.
• Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
• Provide adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber.
•
Do not install near open windows and doors.
• CASTERS MUST BE LOCKED AT ALL TIMES DURING OPERATION.
GAS PRESSURES
The gas pressure should be set at 4” W.C. (Water Column) (0.8 kPa) for natural gas and 11” W.C. (2.75 kPa)
for propane gas. If incoming pressure exceeds 1/2 PSI (3.45 kPa), an additional pressure regulator may be
required.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM
When test pressures exceed 1/2 PSI (3.45 kPa), the fryer and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system. When test pressures are 1/2 PSI (3.45 kPa) or less, the fryer must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual shutoff valve.
PROPANE CYLINDERS AND REGULATORS
• Pressure regulators and hose assemblies supplied with this appliance must be used. Replacement
pressure regulators and/or hose assemblies must be original manufacturers parts. The standard, self-
contained propane system fryer is designed for use with 13.6 kg. (30 lb.) propane cylinders, equipped with
a Type I cylinder valve.
• Do not store propane cylinders in or on the appliance, explosion, fire or injury may result.
The Type I (Q.C.C.1) cylinder valve is recognizable by the large external thread on the outlet part of the valve.
Standard valves do not have these exterior threads. Any attempt to fit the regulator(s) with anything other than
the mating Type I (Q.C.C.1) connector, (recognized by the large plastic coupling nut) will negate the important
safety features designed into the Type I (Q.C.C.1) system. Fitting a standard #510 P.O.L connector, will not
provide the flow control or temperature shut-off safety features built into the complete Type I (Q.C.C.1) system.
When purchasing a cylinder for your PRO-FRYER, it must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
specifications of: The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), or CAN/CSA B339.
THE CYLINDER MUST ALSO BE EQUIPPED WITH:
• A shut-off valve terminating in a proper cylinder valve outlet specified in current standards.
•
A safety relief valve having direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder.
