General Installation Instructions
DANGER
Building codes prohibit a fryer with its open frypot of hot oil being installed beside an open flame of any
type, including those of broilers and ranges.
DANGER
This appliance must be installed with sufficient ventilation to prevent the occurrence of unacceptable
concentrations of substances harmful to the health of personnel in the room where it is installed.
DANGER
No structural material on the fryer should be altered or removed to accommodate placement of the fryer
under a hood.
DANGER
Single fryers must be restrained to prevent tipping when installed in order to avoid the splashing of hot
liquid. The means of restraint may be the manner of installation, such as connection to battery of
appliances or installing the fryer in an alcove, or by separate means, such as straps or chains.
DANGER
Do not attach an apron drainboard to a single unit. The appliance may become unstable, tip over, and
cause injury. The appliance area must be free and clear of combustible material at all times.
NOTICE
This appliance is only for professional use and shall be used by qualified personnel only.
CLEARANCE AND VENTILATION
This fryer must be installed with a 6-inch (150-mm) clearance at both sides and back when installed adjacent to
combustible construction. No clearance is required when installed adjacent to
non-combustible construction. A
minimum of 24-inches (600-mm) clearance should be provided at the front of the fryer.
The fryer flue opening must not be placed close to the intake of an exhaust fan, and the fryer must never have its flue
extended in a "chimney" fashion. An extended flue will change the combustion characteristics of the fryer. To provide
the airflow necessary for good combustion and burner operation, the areas surrounding the fryer front, sides, and rear
must be kept clear and unobstructed.
The fryer must be installed in an area with an adequate air supply and adequate ventilation. Adequate distances must be
maintained from the flue outlet of the fryer to the lower edge of the ventilation filter bank. Filters should be installed at
an angle of 45°. Place a drip tray beneath the lowest edge of the filter. For U.S. installation, NFPA standard No. 96
states, "A minimum distance of 18-inches (450-mm) should be maintained between the flue outlet and the lower edge of
the grease filter".
Frymaster recommends that the minimum distance be 24-inches (600-mm) from the flue outlet to the
bottom edge of the filter.
INSTALLATION
NOTE:
Unless special ordered, this fryer is designed for operation at altitudes of 2000 feet (610 meters) and below.
The unit must be modified for operation above 2000 feet (610 meters).
