TO CONNECT THE VENT
• Comply with Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment, ANSI-NFPA Standard #96 (latest edition), available
from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
• Locate the fryer under a hood with adequate connection to an exhaust duct. The hood must extend 6” (15
cm) beyond fryer on both sides.
• Clearance above the fryer should be adequate for combustion by-products to be removed efficiently.
• An 18” (46 cm) minimum clearance should be maintained between the flue vent and the filters of the hood
venting system.
•
Never make vent connections directly to the fryer.
• Do not obstruct the flow of the gases from the appliance. Proper air balance should be maintained in the
room.
TO CONNECT GAS
•
All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of propane gases.
• The gas inlet is located on the lower rear of the fryer. Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in
the gas line ahead of the fryer.
• The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of ½” X (12.7 mm) iron pipe for single units and 1-1/4”
(31.75 mm) for batteries. If using the optional quick-disconnect flex hose, ¾” X (19mm) iron pipe for single
units and 1-1/4” (31.75 cm) iron pipe for batteries.
•
Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound.
• A battery requires one or two connections of appropriate size for the gas requirement.
Note:
Prior to lighting, check all joints in the gas supply line for leaks. Use soap and water solution. Do not use
an open flame.
After piping has been checked for leaks, fully purge gas pipes to remove air.
