CHAPTER 1: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1.1Safety Information

Before attempting to operate your unit, read the instructions in this manual thoroughly. Throughout this manual you will

find notations enclosed in double-bordered boxes with the symbol . The information contained in the box concerns actions or conditions that may cause or result in injury to personnel or damage to your system, and/or cause your system to malfunction.

1.2General Installation Instructions

DANGER

Building codes prohibit a fryer with its open frypot of hot oil being installed beside an open flame of any

type, including those of broilers and ranges.

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 where it is installed.

DANGER

No structural material on the fryer should be altered or removed to accommodate placement of the fryer

under a hood.

DANGER

Single fryers must be restrained to prevent tipping when installed in order to avoid the splashing of hot

liquid. The means of restraint may be the manner of installation, such as connection to battery of appliances or installing the fryer in an alcove, or by separate means, such as straps or chains.

DANGER

Do not attach an apron drainboard to a single unit. The appliance may become unstable, tip over, and

cause injury. The appliance area must be free and clear of combustible material at all times.

NOTICE

This appliance is only for professional use and shall be used by qualified personnel only.

CLEARANCE AND VENTILATION

This fryer must be installed with a 6-inch (150-mm) clearance at both sides and back when installed adjacent to combustible construction. No clearance is required when installed adjacent to non-combustible construction. A minimum of 24-inches (600-mm) clearance should be provided at the front of the fryer.

The fryer flue opening must not be placed close to the intake of an exhaust fan, and the fryer must never have its flue extended in a "chimney" fashion. An extended flue will change the combustion characteristics of the fryer. To provide the airflow necessary for good combustion and burner operation, the areas surrounding the fryer front, sides, and rear must be kept clear and unobstructed.

The fryer must be installed in an area with an adequate air supply and adequate ventilation. Adequate distances must be maintained from the flue outlet of the fryer to the lower edge of the ventilation filter bank. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45°. Place a drip tray beneath the lowest edge of the filter. For U.S. installation, NFPA standard No. 96 states, "A minimum distance of 18-inches (450-mm) should be maintained between the flue outlet and the lower edge of the grease filter". Frymaster recommends that the minimum distance be 24-inches(600-mm) from the flue outlet to the bottom edge of the filter.

INSTALLATION

NOTE: Unless special ordered, this fryer is designed for operation at altitudes of 2000 feet (610 meters) and below. The unit must be modified for operation above 2000 feet (610 meters).
