VENTILATION AND FIRE SAFETY SYSTEMS

Your new fryer must have proper ventilation to function safely and properly. Exhaust gas temperatures can reach as high as 1000°F. Therefore, it is very important to install a fire safety system. Your ventilation system should be designed to allow for easy cleaning. Frequent cleaning of the ventilation system and the fryer will reduce the chances of fire. Table 1-2 provides a list of reference documents that provide guidance on ventilation and fire safety systems. This table is not necessarily complete. Additional information can be obtained from CSA International, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland,OH44131.

Excessive ventilation causes drafts, which will interfere with the proper operation of the pilot and the burner. Leave at least 18 inches of open space between the fryer's flue vent opening and the intake of the exhaust hood.
