1.4.2.4Fuel Supply Line Leak and Pressure Testing - The fuel supply system must be tested before the fryer is used. If the fuel line is going to be tested at a pressure greater than (>)1/2 PSIG (3.45 kPa), make sure that the fryer is disconnected from the fuel line. If the fuel line is to be tested at a pressure equal to or less than (<) 1/2 PSIG (3.45 kPa), the fryer can be connected but the unit's gas valve must be shut. Test all gas line connections for leaks with a solution of soap and water when pressure is applied.

1.4.3Ventilation and Fire Safety Systems

Your new fryer must have proper ventilation to function safely and properly. Exhaust gas temperatures can reach as high as 1200°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 the American Gas Association, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, OH 44131.

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.

1.5INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS

After your fryer has been installed as described in section 1.4, it needs to be adjusted to ensure that it will perform as designed. These adjustments must be performed by a qualified person. To perform these adjustment the following tools will be needed:

•	Manometer (low pressure gauge)	• Digital Thermometer (Temperature probe)
•	DC Millivolt Meter
