GAS PRESSURES (ALL MODELS)
The gas pressure should be set at 5” W.C. (Water Column) (1.25 kPa) of pressure for natural gas and 10” W.C.
(2.54kPa) of pressure for propane gas. If incoming pressure exceeds ½ PSI (3.5 kPa), an additional pressure
regulator must be installed.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM
When test pressures exceed ½ PSI (3.5 kPa), the fryer and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system. When test pressures are ½ PSI (3.5 kPa) or less, the fryer must be isolated
from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual shutoff valve.
FRYERS AND CASTERS
Separate instructions for installing casters are included in with the casters:
The installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable
Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or Connectors for Moveable Gas Appliances, CAN/CGA-6.16, and a quick
disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, ANSI
z21.41 or Quick -Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, CANI-6.9. When installing a quick disconnect, you
must also install a means for limiting the movement of the fryer. This device will prevent the gas line or quick
disconnect from being strained. The restraining device must be attached to the cutout on the back panel.
In Australia, use only the caster supplied by the manufacturer for the fryer device. The fryer must be installed
using a hose assembly restraining device to limit the movement of the appliance in accordance with AS1869.
The fryer must be installed with a connector complying with the above codes. The fryer must be installed with
restraining means to guard against transmission of strain to the connector.
The fryer must be installed with the casters provided. If the restraint is ever to be disconnected, first turn the
gas supply off.
TO LEVEL
•
Check the level of the fryer by placing a level on top of the fryer after gas connections have been made.
• Ensure that the fryer is level front-to-back and side-to-side in the final installed position.
•
If using casters, lock the casters after unit is level.
Operation
Before any food preparation, thoroughly wipe protective oil from all surface parts and the tank interior with hot
soapy water to remove any film residue and dust or debris.
