FRYMASTER HD1814 SERIES GAS FRYERS

CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION

3.2 Gas Connections (cont.)

DANGER

If gas odors are detected, the gas supply MUST be shut off at the main shut-off valve. The local gas company or ASA should be contacted immediately to rectify the problem.

A.The size of the gas line used for installation is very important. If the line is too small, the gas pressure at the burner manifold will be low. This may cause slow recovery and delayed ignition. The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the fryer inlet line. This fryer system is equipped with one 1-1/4" (35 mm) female inlet. The gas supply line must be sized to accommodate all the gas-fired equipment that may be connected to that gas supply. Consult your contractor, gas company, supplier, or other knowledgeable authorities.

Recommended Gas Supply Line Sizes

Gas Types		Number of Fryers
	1		2 or more (*)
Natural Gas	3/4" (22 mm)		1-1/4" (35 mm)
Propane Gas	1/2" (15 mm)		1" (28 mm)

When exceeding 20 feet (6 meters) and/or more than 4 fittings or elbows, increase the connection by one pipe size.

(*) For a configuration of more than two fryers, it is necessary to provide a 1-1/4" (35 mm) rigid gas connection.

DANGER

All connections must be sealed with a joint compound suitable for the gas being used and all connections must be tested with a solution of soapy water before lighting any pilots.

Never use matches, candles, or any other ignition source to check for leaks. If gas odors are detected, shut off the gas supply to the appliance at the main shut-off valve and immediately contact the local gas company or an authorized service agency for service.

DANGER

"Dry-firing" your unit will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire. Always ensure that melted shortening, cooking oil or water is in the frypot before firing the unit.
