2.7 Air Supply and Ventilation

DANGER

This appliance must be installed with sufficient ventilation to prevent the occurrence of unacceptable concentrations of substances harmful to the health of personnel in the room in which it is installed.

Keep the area around the fryer clear to prevent obstruction of combustion and ventilation airflow as well as for service and maintenance.

A.Do not connect this fryer to an exhaust duct.

B.Correct installation and adjustment will ensure adequate airflow to the fryer system.

C.A commercial, heavy-duty fryer must vent its combustion wastes to the outside of the building. A deep-fat fryer must be installed under a powered exhaust hood, or an exhaust fan must be provided in the wall above the unit, as exhaust gas temperatures are approximately 800-1000°F (427-538°C). Check air movement during installation. Strong exhaust fans in the exhaust hood or in the overall air conditioning system can produce slight air drafts in the room.
