CHECK CLEARANCES & VENTILATION
Select a firm, level location for your fryer. Leave clearance, whenever possible, so that access from
the rear is possible to permit cleaning. If the unit is to be set on non-combustible flooring such as a
concrete slab, 3 inches minimum toe room must be provided to prevent restriction of the air opening
in the botom of the unit .
WARNING:
There must be adequate clearance between fryer(s) and construction. Clearance must also be
provided in front for servicing and for operation.
Minimum clearances from combustible construction:
Sides: 6”
Rear: 6”
All CPG Floor Fryers shall be installed with at least a 16” space between the fryer and surface
flames from adjacent equipment.
Suitable for installation on combustible floors. No additional side and rear clearance is required for
service as the fryer is serviceable from the front .
WARNING:
Improper ventilation can result in personal injury or death. Ventilation that fails to properly remove
flue products can cause headaches, drowsiness, nausea, or could result in death.
Unit must be installed under a ventilation hood.
All units must be installed in such a manner that the flow of combustion and ventilation air is
not obstructed. Provisions for adequate air supply must also be provided. DO NOT obstruct the
bottom front of the unit as combustion air enters through this area. Be sure to inspect and clean the
ventilation system according to the ventilation equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
Due to the variety of problems that can be caused by outside weather conditions, venting by
canopies or wall fans is preferred over any type of direct venting. It is recommended that a canopy
extend 6” past the appliance and the bottom edge be located 6’6” from the floor. Filters should be
installed at an angle of 45º or more from the horizontal. This position prevents dripping of grease
and facilitates collecting the run-off grease in a drip pan, usually installed with a filter. A strong
exhaust fan tends to create a vacuum in the room and may interfere with burner performance or
may extinguish pilot flames. Fresh air openings approximately equal to the fan area will relieve such
a vacuum. In case of unsatisfactory performance on any appliance, check the appliance with the
exhaust fan in the “OFF” position. Do this only long enough to check equipment performance, then
turn hood back on and let it run to remove any exhaust that may have accumulated during the test.
• The exhaust fan should be installed at least 2 feet above the vent opening at the top of
the fryer .
• Make sure all ventilation meets local code requirements.
• This unit is not intended to be connected directly to an outside flue.
