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.
