Installation
Installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the Propane
Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2, as applicable.
These installation procedures must be followed by qualified personnel or warranty will be void.
Local codes regarding installation vary greatly from one area to another. The National Fire Protection
Association, Inc. states in its NFPA 96 latest edition tha
t local codes are the “authority having jurisdiction”
when it comes to installation requirements for equipment.
Step #1: Unpack
**IMMEDIATELY INSPECT FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE
All containers should be examined for damage before and during unloading. The freight carrier has
assumed responsibility for safe transit and delivery. If damaged equipment is received, either apparent or
concealed, a claim must be made with the delivering carrier.
Apparent damage or loss must be noted on the freight bill at the time of delivery. The freight bill must then
be signed by the carrier representative (Driver). If the bill is not signed, the carrier may refuse the claim.
The carrier can supply the necessary forms.
A request for inspection must be made to the carrier within 15 days if there is concealed damage or loss
that is not apparent until after the equipment is uncrated. The carrier should arrange an inspection.
Be certain to hold all contents plus all packing material.
1. Uncrate carefully. Report any hidden damage to the freight carrier IMMEDIATELY.
2. Do not remove any tags or labels until unit is installed and working properly.
All Propane (LP) Gas Fryers MUST HAVE AN APPLIANCE REGULATOR INSTALLED in
addition to the tank or stage regulator. IF A PROPANE FRYER IS INSTALLED WITHOUT
THE CORRECT PRESSURE REGULATOR PARTS WILL BE DAMAGE AND THE
WARRANTY WILL BE VOID.
The appliance regulator must be set to gas pressure between 11” W.C. and 12” W.C.
Note
: There is a pressure regulator “built in” to the combination gas valve, if the incoming
pressure is at 10” W.C. or lower this “built in” regulator will act as a restriction and cause
incomplete combustion and sooting. If the gas pressure is above 12” W.C. damage could occur
to the “built in” pressure regulator and in that case it would have to be replace, this would not be
covered by the warranty.
