2.6 Air Supply and Ventilation (cont.)
C.
A commercial, heavy-duty fryer must vent its combustion wastes to the outside of the
building. A deep-fat fryer must be installed under a powered exhaust hood, or an exhaust fan
must be provided in the wall above the unit, as exhaust gas temperatures are approximately
800-1000°F (427-538°C) . Check air movement during installation. Strong exhaust fans in
the exhaust hood or in the overall air conditioning system can produce slight air drafts in the
room.
D.
Do not place the fryer’s flue outlet directly into the plenum of the hood, as it will affect the
gas combustion of the fryer.
E.
Never use the interior of the fryer cabinet for storage or store items on shelving over or
behind the fryer. Exhaust temperatures can exceed 800°F (427ºC) and may damage or melt
items stored in or near the fryer.
F.
Adequate distance must be maintained from the flue outlet of the fryer(s) to the lower edge
of the filter bank. Per NFPA Standards No. 96, a minimum of 18-inches (45-cm) should be
maintained between the flue(s) and the lower edge of the exhaust hood filter.
G.
Filters and drip troughs should be part of any industrial hood, but consult local codes before
constructing and installing any hood. The duct system, the exhaust hood and the filter bank
must be cleaned on a regular basis and kept free of grease.
2.7 Receiving and Unpacking Equipment
A.
Check that the container is upright. Use an outward prying motion -
no hammering
- to
remove the carton. Unpack the fryer carefully and remove all accessories from the carton.
Do not discard or misplace accessories. They will be needed.
B.
After unpacking, immediately check the equipment for visible signs of shipping damage. If
damage has occurred, contact the carrier and file the appropriate freight claims. Do not
contact the factory. Shipping damage responsibility is between the carrier and the dealer.
If your equipment arrives damaged:
1.
File claim for damages immediately, regardless of extent of damage.
2.
Visible loss or damage: Be sure this is noted on the freight bill or express receipt and is
signed by the person making the delivery.
3.
Concealed loss or damage: If damage is unnoticed until equipment is unpacked, notify
freight company or carrier immediately, and file a concealed damage claim. The claim
should be filed within 15 days of date of delivery. Be sure to retain container for
inspection.
NOTE: Dean Does Not Assume Responsibility for Damage or Loss Incurred in Transit.
