FLUE CONNECTION

Caution: Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the fryer's flue opening.

Down drafts will not allow the fryer to exhaust properly and will cause overheating which may cause permanent damage.

Damage caused by down drafts will not be covered under equipment warranty.

Caution: Never allow anything to obstruct the flow of combustibles or ventilation exiting from the flue.

Caution: Do not put anything on top of the flue area.

Caution: Never connect blower directly to flue openings. The direct flow of air will cause poor ignition, poor temperature recovery, inefficient operation of the fryer, and could extinguish the pilot.

Make the flue connection as follows:

•Comply with Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment, ANSI-NFPA Standard #96 (latest edition), available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

•Locate the fryer under a hood with adequate connection to an exhaust duct. The hood must extend 6" (15 cm) beyond fryer sides.

•Clearance above the fryer should be adequate for combustion byproducts to be removed efficiently.

•An 18" (46 cm) minimum clearance should be maintained between the flue vent and the filters of the hood venting system.

•Never make flue connections directly to the fryer.

•Do not obstruct the flow of the flue gases from the appliance. Proper air balance should be maintained in the room.

GAS CONNECTION

WARNING: NEVER SUPPLY FRYER WITH A GAS TYPE NOT INDICATED ON THE DATA PLATE. USING INCORRECT GAS TYPE WILL CAUSE IMPROPER OPERATION. IF YOU NEED TO CONVERT THE FRYER TO ANOTHER TYPE OF FUEL, CONTACT YOUR AUTHORIZED SERVICE TECHNICIAN.

Caution: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of propane gases.

Note: When using thread compound, use very small amounts on male threads only. DO NOT apply compound to the first two threads. Doing so may allow some of the compound to enter the gas stream, resulting in clogging of burner orifices and/or the control valve.

The gas inlet is located on the lower rear of the fryer. Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the fryer.

The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of 1/2" (1.3 cm) iron pipe for single units and 1-1/4" (3.2 cm) for batteries. If using the optional quick-disconnect flex hose, 3/4" (1.9 cm) iron pipe for single units and 1-1/4" (3.2 cm) iron pipe for batteries.

Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound. A battery requires one or two connections of appropriate size and type for the gas requirement.

WARNING: 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.
