GAS CONNECTION
Prior to lighting, check all joints in the gas supply line for leaks. Use soap
and water solution.
Do not use an open flame
After piping has been checked for leaks, fully purge gas pipes to remove air.
1/2 Gas connection, 12/ to 3/4 adapter included in the unit.
GAS PRESSURES (ALL MODELS):
The gas pressure should be set at 4” W.C. (Water Column) (0.8 kPa) for natural gas and 10” W.C.
(2.75 kPa) for propane gas. If incoming pressure exceeds ½ PSI (3.45 kPa), an additional pressure
regulator must be installed.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM:
When test pressures exceed ½ PSI (3.45 kPa), the fryer and its individual shutoff valve must be dis-
connected from the gas supply piping system.
When test pressures are ½ PSI (3.45 kPa) or less, the fryer must be isolated from the gas supply pip-
ing system by closing its individual shutoff valve.
Fryers with Casters:
Separate instructions for installing casters are included 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, 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 CSA 6.9 or Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel.
• 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 should be attached to the cutout on the back panel. See illustration
for location.
WARNING
• Do not obstruct the flow of the gases from the appliance. Proper air balance should be maintained in
the room.
• Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the fryer’s flue opening. Down
draft will not allow the fryer to exhaust properly and will cause overheating which may cause perma-
nent damage. Damage caused by down draft will not be covered under equipment warranty. Never
allow anything to obstruct the flue or ventilation exiting from the fryer flue. Do not put anything on top
of flue area.
