CE Standard

CE regulations require a combustion air supply of 2m3/h per kW per fryer. (See rating plate affixed to door for kW rating.)

1.Connect the quick-disconnect hose to the fryer quick-disconnect fitting under the front of the fryer and to the building gas line.

NOTE: Some fryers are configured for a rigid connection to the gas supply line. These units are connected to the gas supply line at the rear of the unit.

When using thread compound, use very small amounts on male threads only. Use a pipe thread compound that is not affected by the chemical action of LP gases (Loctite PST567 sealant is one such compound). DO NOT apply compound to the first two threads. Applying compound to the first two threads will cause clogging of the burner orifices and control valve.

2.Open the gas-supply valve to the fryer and check all piping, fittings, and gas connections for leaks. A soap and water solution should be used for this purpose.

DANGER

All connections must be sealed with a joint compound suitable for the gas being used and all connections must be tested with a solution of soapy water before lighting any pilots.

Never use matches, candles, or any other ignition source to check for leaks. If gas odors are detected, shut off the gas supply to the appliance at the main shut-off valve and immediately contact the local gas company or an authorized service agency for service.
