041-03 - Gas fryers
8
Construction, equipment installed and
safety devices
Robust steel frame, with 4 legs (adjustable in height).
18/10 chrome-nickel steel outer panelling and tanks.
The oil is heated by means of stainless burners (2 per
tank), built to withstand thermomechanical stress.
The pilot burner has has adjustable injector.
The combustion chamber and flues are made of electro-
galvanised steel sheeting.
The temperature is regulated by a static thermal valve
which regulates ignition and extinguishing of the burners.
The deep fryers are fitted with a safety thermostat; should
the oil temperature exceed the limit value, the gas flow is
automatically cut off.
The equipment type B, if not positioned under an exhaust
hood, requires a windproof device, type MITRACF and/or
MITRAKF.
This device should be fitted as per the instructions (see
“Gas venting”).
Attention!
Activation of the safety thermostat means the applian-
ce is not working properly; before using the appliance
again, call the service centre to carry out a careful
check of all functions.
ASSEMBLY
Location
The appliance should be installed in a well ventilated
room, and if possible under a range hood.
If possible, “A” type appliances should be placed under
an aspirator. Type “B” appliances must be fitted with an
anti-wind device.
The appliance can be installed on its own or alongside
other equipment.
If the appliance is to be installed near inflammable walls, a
minimum distance of 50 mm around the sides and back
should be allowed.
If this is impossible, take proper steps to ensure the instal-
lation is safe, such as fitting tiles or heat-reflecting material
to the walls.
Before connecting up the appliance to the gas supply,
check on the data plate that the appliance is fitted for the
type of gas available.
If not, consult paragraph “Running the appliance on other
types of gas”, page 10.
Legal and technical requisites
During assembly, the following legal and technical re-
quisites should be adhered to:
- relevant national legislation;
- local building and fire safety regulations;
- worksheet “Technical rules for installing gas”;
- worksheet “Technical rules for LP gas”;
- worksheet “Gas installations in industrial kitchens”;
- industrial injury legislation;
- local Gas Board regulations;
- current CEI regulations.
INSTALLATION
Assembly, installation and maintenance, i.e.: assembly,
connecting the gas supply, checking power rating, trans-
forming or adapting the appliance to run on other types of
gas, and commissioning, must all be done by contractors
authorised by the local Gas Board in accordance with lo-
cal and national legislation UNI-CIG 8723-7722-7723 law
46 and circular 68 with subsequent updates.
Before doing anything else, seek advice from your Gas
Board.
Installation procedure
To level the appliance correctly, adjust the height of the
four legs.
Gas connection
The R 1/2” gas off-take for models CFG15 - CFG15D and
R 3/4” for models KFG15 - KFG15D - KFG20 - KFG20D -
OPFG15 - OPFG15D - OPFG20 - OPFG20D on the ap-
pliance can either be permanently fixed to the mains or
made detachable using a standard adaptor.
If flexible hose is used, it must be in stainless steel.
After completing connection, check for leaks using a spe-
cial leak-detector spray.
Gas venting
For deep fryers of construction type “A”, connection to a
gas venting system is not required; for ventilation of the
premises where the appliance is installed, observe the
laws in force.
Fryers type B cannot function without the windproof device
if not positioned under an exhaust hood. Standard pipes
must be used for the flue gas outlet connection, according
to the procedures laid down by the laws in force and any
other local regulations.
Combusted gases must be evacuated:
a)
by natural ascension to the outside through a chim-
ney;
b)
by mechanical extraction through a chimney to the
outside or directly outside;
c)
through suction hoods.
Fit the standard anti-wind device as follows:
- Place part (A) on the appliance and fix with the relative
