DANGER
No structural material on the fryer should be altered or removed to accommodate placement of the
fryer under a hood.
NATIONAL CODE REQUIREMENTS
The type of gas for which the fryer is equipped is marked on the data plate attached to the inside of the fryer door.
Connect a fryer marked “NAT” only to natural gas, those marked “PRO” only to propane gas.
When installing this equipment in the UNITED STATES, the installation must conform to the latest edition of the
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.
Installation shall be made with a gas connector that complies with national and local codes. In the UNITED STATES,
the applicable code is ANSI Z21.69 with Addenda, “Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances”.
Quick-Disconnect devices, if used, shall likewise comply with national and local codes. In the UNITED STATES, the
code is ANSI Z21.41, “Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel”.
2.2 Caster/Leg Installation
Depending upon the specific configuration ordered, your fryer may have been shipped without installed casters or legs.
Install the casters/legs in accordance with the instructions included in your accessory package.
2.3 Pre-Connection Preparations
Do not connect fryer to gas supply before completing each step in this section.
After the fryer has been positioned under the fry station exhaust hood, ensure the following has been accomplished:
•
Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of fryers without depending upon the gas line
connections. If a flexible gas hose is used, a restraining cable must be connected at all times when the fryer is
in use.
• The fryer must be stabilized by installing restraining chains on fryers equipped with casters or anchor straps on
fryers equipped with legs. Follow the instructions shipped with the casters/legs to properly install the chains or
straps.
•
Level fryers equipped with legs by extending the adjustable portion of the leg out approximately 1 inch, and
then further adjust the legs, ensuring the fryer is level and at the proper height in the exhaust hood. For fryers
equipped with casters, the floor where the fryer is to be installed must be level.
•
Refer to the data plate on the inside of the fryer door to verify that the fryer is configured for the proper type of
gas before connecting the fryer quick-disconnect device or piping from the gas supply line.
