Important Fire Safety Notice
The building code, in virtually all cities in North America, requires that any fryer with more than
a 7 pound oil capacity be operated under a vent hood with “Automatic Fire Extinguisher System”.
This system is typically referred to as an “Ansul” or “Kiddie” system.
If this fryer or any fryer outdoors, is operated in a concession trailer, booth, or portable
concession stand, building code requirements may apply.
Consult your local fire protection agency for your area’s requirements. Check local fire protection
requirements regularly to ensure compliance with local codes and proper operation. Install an
automatic fire extinguisher over the fryer and exhaust duct. (Use only fire extinguishers
approved for grease, oil, and electrical fire.)
All Gold Medal fryers have a Heat Control and a High Limit Control. The Heat Control sets the
working temperature of the oil. The High Limit Control powers down the heat element and
protects the operator should the Heat Control fail. The highest quality controls available are used
in this product. However, in time, all controls wear out. It is therefore recommended an
independent thermometer (capable of 500°F or higher) be immersed in the oil to monitor the oil
temperature and make sure the unit is operating properly.
DANGER
Hot oil is dangerous – severe burns can result when hot oil contacts the skin.
Hot oil is flammable – keep open flames away from hot oil and its vapors.
Keep a fire extinguisher near the fryer.
Instruct personnel on what to do if there is a grease fire. DO NOT USE
WATER ON A GREASE FIRE! Use only fire extinguishers approved for
grease, oil, and electric fire.
