24G SERIES FLATBOTTOM GAS FRYERS CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION

2.7 Air Supply and Ventilation

DANGER

This appliance must be installed with sufficient ventilation to prevent the occurrence of unacceptable concentrations of substances harmful to the health of personnel in the room in which it is installed.

1.Keep the area around the fryer clear to prevent obstruction of combustion and ventilation airflow.

2.Do not connect this fryer to an exhaust duct.

3.Correct installation and adjustment will ensure adequate airflow to the fryer system.

4.A commercial, heavy-duty fryer must vent its combustion wastes to the outside of the building. A deep-fat fryer must be installed under a powered exhaust hood, or an exhaust fan must be provided in the wall above the unit, as exhaust gas temperatures are approximately 500-600°F (260-316°C). Check air movement during installation. Strong exhaust fans in the exhaust hood or in the overall air conditioning system can produce slight air drafts in the room.

5.Do not place the fryer’s flue outlet directly into the plenum of the hood, as it will affect the gas combustion of the fryer.

6.Never use the interior of the fryer cabinet for storage or store items on shelving over or behind the fryer. Exhaust temperatures can exceed 500°F (260°C) and may damage or melt items stored in or near the fryer.

7.Adequate distance must be maintained from the flue outlet of the fryer(s) to the lower edge of the exhaust filter bank. Per NFPA Standards No. 96, a minimum of 18 inches (45-cm) should be maintained between the flue(s) and the lower edge of the exhaust hood filter.

8.Filters and drip troughs should be part of any industrial hood, but consult local codes before constructing and installing any hood. The duct system, the exhaust hood and the filter bank must be cleaned on a regular basis and kept free of grease.
