INSTALLATION
Important
Your attention is drawn to the latest
GAS SAFETY (INSTALLATION & USE) REGULATIONS 2000
.
This appliance
MUST
be installed by a competent person in accordance with these and any other relevant
regulations. Users, too, should be aware of the regulations governing the use of gas appliances,
particularly with respect to the need for regular servicing.
Your attention is drawn to the requirement that those parts, which have been protected by the
manufacturer or his agent, are not to be adjusted by the installer.
Before Installation
Before commencing installation, remove all packaging materials from the appliance. It is suggested that
any protective film adhering to the stainless steel panels should be left on until installation is completed.
BUT THIS MUST BE REMOVED BEFORE COMMISSIONING OR OPERATING THE APPLIANCE
.
Check the appliance Data Plate (located on the back of the flue upstand/splashback panel), to ensure
that the appliance is suitable for the gas supply available.
Ensure that the floor upon which the appliance is to stand is level and capable of adequately supporting
the weight of the appliance.
TO COMPENSATE FOR SOME UNEVENNESS OF THE FLOOR, THE
APPLIANCE
FEET ARE ADJUSTABLE
.
THE FLOOR MUST BE FIRE PROOF
. If it is not, or if any adjacent wall or surface is made of a combustible
material, then the installer MUST ensure that the requirements of the
LOCAL FIRE REGULATIONS
are
observed.
Positioning
In order for us to meet the stability requirements, this fryer
MUST BE FIXED TO THE FLOOR
by means of
the fixing holes in the flanged feet. This is not necessary if the fryer is in a suite and therefore fixed to
another appliance.
Place the appliance in position allowing a minimum gap of 150mm (6”) at the rear and at least 150 mm
(6”) between the sides of the appliance and any adjacent wall. The minimum distance between the top of
the appliance and any overshelf or ceiling constructed of a combustible material must be 1525 mm
(60”).
Adequate ventilation is essential for safe operation of a gas appliance. A supply of fresh air is necessary
for the correct combustion of the gas and there must be a means of exhausting the heat and the
products of combustion from the kitchen. It is recommended that the appliance be sited below a
ventilating hood, one preferably connected to an extractor system incorporating a grease filter.
