CAUTION
THIS APPLIANCE AND ITS INDIVIDUAL COMBINATION GAS VALVE MUST BE DISCONNECTED
FROM THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM DURING ANY PRESSURE TESTING OF THAT SYSTEM
AT TEST PRESSURES IN EXCESS OF 14”WC (1/2 PSIG or 3.45kPa).
If the incoming gas pressure is in excess of 14"WC (1/2PSI, 3.45kPa), a proper
step-down regulator will be required.
Connect the gas supply directly to the 3/4"male BSP connector located near the lower left rear corner of
the fryer. When tightening the supply pipe, be sure to hold the mating connector extending from the unit
securely with a wrench. This will prevent any damage or distortion to the internal piping and controls of
the unit.
After connecting the gas supply, check again that the fryer is level. Use along spirit level four ways;
across the front and rear of the fryer pot, and along each edge.
