1.4INSTALLATION

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. This restraint may be by any means (alcove installation, adequate ties, or battery installation).

Although it is possible for you to install and set up your new fryer, it is STRONGLY recommended that you have it done by qualified professionals. The professionals that install your new fryer will know the local building codes and ensure that your installation is safe.

1.4.1Installation Clearances

The fryer needs clearance around it for proper operation. Adequate clearances allow for servicing and proper burner operation. The clearances shown below are for cooker installation in combustible and non-combustible construction.

	Combustible	Non-Combustible
	Construction	Construction
Back	6"	0"
Sides	6"	0"
Floor - Combustible	4-3/4"	4-3/4"

In addition to the clearances required for proper fryer operation, there must be at least 28 inches of isle space in front of the fryer.

1.4.2Gas Connection

Your fryer will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to provide the correct gas flow. The fryer 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. Other factors that are used to determine the piping requirements are BTU requirements of the appliances being connected and the length of pipe between the meter and the appliances.

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.
