INSTALLATION
Before installing the fryer, verify that the type of gas (natural or liquid propane [LP]) agrees with the
specifications on the fryer data plate. The fryer data plate is located on the inside of the door panel. Make
sure the fryer is configured for the proper elevation (height above sea level) of the facility.
Record the gas fryer model and serial number for future reference in the space provided below. This
information is on the fryer data plate. Also record the installation date.

CLEARANCES
•
Allow space and accessibility for proper appliance servicing and operation.
•
Minimum clearance from combustible construction:
•
6” (15 cm) from the SIDES of the fryer
•
6” (15 cm) from the BACK of the fryer
The fryer may be installed on combustible floors (if factory approved leveling legs or casters are used –
the warranty is voided if any other mounting method is used)
•
Minimum clearance from noncombustible construction:
•
0” from the SIDES of the fryer
•
0” from the BACK of the fryer
•
Between the fryer and any open-top flame units or unshielded heaters and burners:
•
16” (41 cm) A Flame Guard can be used if allowed by the local codes and officials
LOCATION
•
The installation must meet the local building codes and should be approved by authorized building and
fire inspectors before the fryer is started up in operation.
•
Install fryer in an area with sufficient air supply for complete tube burner gas combustion.
•
Do not obstruct the flow of the appliance’s combustion and ventilation air.
•
Provide adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber.
•
Do not permit fans to blow directly onto fryer as they can negatively impact the burner or pilot valve
performance possibly even extinguishing the pilot flame.
•
Avoid wall-type fans, which create cross-currents within a room. Avoid open windows next to the
fryer’s sides or back. Test the room ventilation air ducts to ensure they aren’t blowing directly on this
appliance as that might create performance issues
•
Ensure the floor allows the fryer to sit level and securely when its in position for proper operation,
service and cleaning
•
No electrical connection is required for this appliance as the standard control scheme uses mili-volt
components [and possibly a piezo igniter] that don’t use/need a 115/220 v circuit.
•
If mobile, an approved quick connect gas supply hose with restraint cable is needed.
•
The hook up determines what restraint will prevent tipping over the fryer and avoid the risk of hot
oil splashing, spilling or sloshing out of the unit
•
Install the fryer under an approved, operational and properly sized ventilation exhaust hood with the
required 6” minimum overhang surrounding the fryer {a make-up air style is suggested} that comes
with a built in and tested fire protection (i.e. Ansul™) system
•
The appliance’s electrical schematic diagram is located on inside of door.
•
Do not directly connect the fryer flue or exhaust to the ventilation hood.
•
The hood grease filters should be at least 18” above the fryer exhaust flue.
