TO THE PURCHASER
POST IN A PROMINENT LOCATION IN-
STRUCTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED IN THE
EVENT THAT AN OPERATOR SMELLS
GAS. OBTAIN THIS INFORMATION FROM
YOUR LOCAL GAS SUPPLIER.
WARNING:
IMPROPER INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT,
ALTERATION, SERVICE OR MAINTE-
NANCE CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE,
INJURY OR DEATH. READ THE INSTALLA-
TION, OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE
MANUALS THOROUGHLY BEFORE IN-
STALLING OR SERVICING THIS EQUIP-
MENT.
WARNING
This appliance is equipped with a grounding plug.
This is for your protection against shock hazard in
the event of equipment malfunction. Always plug
the unit into a properly grounded receptacle. DO
NOT cut or remove the grounding prong.
WARNING
DO NOT use an open flame to check for gas leaks!
Keep all open flames away from the machine at all
times.
WARNING
Machines equipped with casters and a flexible
power cord, must be connected to a gas supply
with a Quick-Disconnect device. This quick discon-
nect must comply with ANSI Z24.41. To limit the
movement of the unit without depending on the
connector or quick disconnect, a restraining de-
vice must also be installed.
WARNING
There is an open flame inside the machine. The
unit may get hot enough to set nearby materials
on fire. Keep the area around the unit free from
combustibles.
WARNING
Ensure that the machine can get enough air to keep
the flame burning correctly. If the flame is starved
of air it can give off a dangerous carbon monoxide
gas. Carbon Monoxide is a clear odorless gas that
can cause suffocation.
WARNING
Carbon Monoxide gas can build up if you obstruct
the flue. Blocking the flue will also cause the unit
to overheat. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combus-
tion/ventilation or air opening around the machine.
Ensure that you meet the minimum clearances
specified in the installation instructions. Adequate
clearance around the unit is necessary for servic-
ing and proper burner operation.
WARNING
If the machine should shut down unexpectedly wait
5 minutes before attempting to restart it. This will
allow for any excess gas in the unit to dissipate.
WARNING
The power supply must be disconnected before
servicing or cleaning the unit.
WARNING
DO NOT supply the fryer with a gas that is not
identified on the data plate, located on the inside
of one of the doors of the machine. If you need to
convert the machine to another type of fuel, con-
tact your dealer or Authorized Pitco Service Agency.
WARNING
To prevent tipping of the machine and splashing of
HOT oil your Pitco Frialator fryer is equipped with
a Gas Hose Quick Disconnect and restraining de-
vice. This attaches the rear of the machine to the
wall. When the fryer is in its operating location, lock
the casters and reattach the restraining device to
the rear of the machine.
WARNING
Shortening, when it is at cooking temperatures, is
very HOT and DANGEROUS! Use extreme cau-
tion when handling! Use the proper protective gear
such as insulated gloves, aprons, face shield and
sleeves when handling hot shortening. DO NOT
attempt to move any machine that has hot oil in it.
Allow the oil to cool to room temperature or drain
the oil into a suitable container before moving the
fryer.
