1.3 INSTALLATION
Although it is possible for you to install and set up your new fryer, it is STRONGLY recommended that you
have it done by qualified professionals. The professionals that install your new fryer will know the local
building codes and ensure that your installation is safe.
The fryer must be properly restrained to prevent movement or tipping. This
restraint must prevent the fryer from movements that would splash hot
liquids on personnel. This restraint may be any means (alcove installation,
adequate ties, or battery installation).
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion/ventilation or air openings around
the fryer. Adequate clearance around the fryer is necessary for servicing and
proper burner operation. Ensure that you meet the minimum clearances
specified in the installation instructions.
1.3.1 Installation Clearances
The fryer needs clearance around it for proper operation. Adequate clearances allow for servicing and proper
burner operation. The clearances shown below are for cooker installation in combustible and non-
combustible construction.

In addition to the clearances required for proper fryer operation, there must be at least 21 inches of aisle
space in front of the fryer to remove/install the filter pan/module.
1.3.1.1 Leveling
When you receive your fryer it is completely assembled. The fryer will need to be leveled once it is in place.
Leveling the fryer is done with a large pair of water pump pliers. The casters provide the necessary height to
meet sanitation requirements and assure adequate air supply to the burner.

pliers.
