CHECKINGYOURNEWFRYER

Your new fryer has been carefully packed into one crate. Every effort has been made to ensure that your fryer is delivered to you in perfect condition. As you unpack your new fryer, inspect each of the pieces for damage. If something is damaged, DO NOT sign the bill of lading. Contact the shipper immediately, the shipper is only responsible for 15 days after delivery. Check the packing list enclosed with your fryer to ensure that you have received all of the parts to the fryer. If you are missing any parts, contact the dealer from whom the fryer was purchased.

CAUTION

To prevent equipment damage, don't tilt the fryer onto any two of it's casters or pull the unit by the flue vents.

Locate your Pitco Frialator warranty and fill in the serial number of the fryer and the date received. You will find the serial number on the plate inside the door. Put your warranty card in a safe place for future reference. DO NOT return the card to Pitco Frialator.

Leg/Caster Installation and Adjustment

Installing the legs and leveling the fryer is done with a 7/16" wrench, socket, and a large pair of water pump pliers. The legs/ casters must be installed to provide the necessary height to meet sanitation requirements and assure adequate air supply to the burner. Attach the legs by performing the following procedure.

a.Lay the fryer on its side being careful not to damage the flue by pulling on it. Protect the outside of the fryer with cardboard or a drop cloth when laying it down.

b.Attach each leg/caster with the hex head cap screws supplied with the fryer. Each leg/caster requires four 1/4- 20 x 5/8" cap screws.

c.Mount the screws from the inside of the fryer with the nut on the outside. The nuts have lock washers attached to them, therefore it is not necessary to use lock washers.

d.When all four legs/casters are mounted, stand the unit up being careful not to put too much weight on any one leg/caster. Adjust the height and level the fryer by adjusting the leveling devices on the leg/caster with the water pump pliers.

e.On units with casters, move the fryer to the desired location and lock the wheels using the locking devices on the front of the casters.

WARNING

The fryer must be properly restrained to prevent movement or tipping. This restraint must prevent the fryer from

movements that would splash hot liquids on personnel, which could cause severe burns or injuries.

Always wear oil proof gloves when moving or handling equipment or hot liquids.

Gas Connection

Your fryer will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to provide the correct gas flow. The gas line must be installed to meet the local building codes or National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 Latest Edition. In Canada, install the fryer in accordance with CAN/CGA-B149.1 or .2 and local codes. Gas line sizing requirements

can be determined by your local gas company by referring to National Fuel Gas Code, Appendix C, Table C-4 (natural gas) and Table C-16 (propane). The gas line needs to be large enough to supply the necessary amount of fuel to all appliances without losing pressure to any appliance.

WARNING

NEVER supply the fryer with a gas that is not indicated on the data plate. Using the incorrect gas type will cause

improper operation. If you need to convert the fryer to another type of fuel, contact your dealer.
