3.1 Installing the Fryer

position. Use a pallet or lift jack to lift the fryer slightly and place it where it is to be installed.
B. Relocating the Fryer: If relocating a fryer installed with legs, remove all weight from each leg
before moving.
Note:
If a leg becomes damaged during movement, contact your service agent for immediate
repair/replacement.
CAUTION
Fryers may not function properly if curb mounted. Do not curb mount Dean 24G

DANGER
This fryer may tip and cause personal injury if not secured correctly in a stationary
position. Drain all oil/shortening from fryer before moving. Hot oil will splash and
cause severe burns upon contact.
3.2 Leg and Caster Installation
A.
General
1. Install legs and rear rigid casters near where the fryer is to be used, as neither is secure for
long transit. Unit cannot be curb mounted and must be equipped with the legs and casters
provided.
2. When positioning the fryer, gently lower the fryer into position to prevent undue strain to
the legs and internal mounting hardware. Use a pallet or lift jack to lift and position the
fryer if possible. Tilting the fryer may damage the legs.
3. The rigid casters must be installed on the fryer rear channel assembly only. Install locking
casters on the front channel assembly.
4. Proceed to Step 3.3, Leveling the Fryer, after legs and rear rigid casters are installed.
