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
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.
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. NEVER allow anything to obstruct the flow of combustibles or ventilation exiting from the fryer flue. DO NOT put anything on top of the flue area.
NOTICE
NEVER connect the blower directly to the flue openings. The direct flow of air will cause poor temperature recovery, poor ignition, inefficient operation of the fryer, and could extinguish the pilot.
