INSTALLATION
General Installation Requirements
PROPER INSTALLATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR EFFICIENT, TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION OF YOUR FRYER.
ANY UNAUTHORIZED ALTERATIONS MADE TO THIS EQUIPMENT WILL VOID THE MONTAGUE COMPANY
WARRANTY.
Upon arrival, inspect the fryer carefully for visible or concealed damage.
CLEARANCE AND VENTILATION
The fryer(s) must be installed with a 6" (150 mm) clearance at both sides and back when
installed adjacent to combustible construction; no clearance is required when installed adja-
cent to noncombustible construction. A minimum of 24" (600 mm) clearance should be pro-
vided at the front of the fryer.
One of the most important considerations of efficient fryer operation is ventilation. Make sure
the fryer is installed to efficiently remove combustion by-products, and the kitchen ventilation
system does not produce drafts that interfere with proper burner operation.
The fryer flue opening must not be placed close to the intake of the 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, causing longer recovery time. It also frequently causes
delayed ignition. 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.
Fryers 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 45º. 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 in. (450 mm) should be maintained between the flue outlet and the lower edge
of the grease filter.” The Montague Co.
recommends that the minimum distance be 24 in. (600
mm) from the flue outlet to the bottom edge of the filter when the appliance consumes more
than 120,000 BTUs per hour. Information on construction and installation of ventilating hoods
can be found in the NFPA standard cited above. A copy of the standard may be obtained from
the National Fire Protection Association, Battery March Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
DANGER
Do not attach an apron drainboard to a single fryer. The fryer may become unstable, tip
over, and cause injury. The appliance area must be kept free and clear of combustible
material at all times.
