WARNING
Local building codes will usually not permit a deep fat fryer with an open tank of hot oil to be installed immediately next to an open flame of any type, whether a broiler or the open burner of a range. Check local codes before beginning installation.
2.4 AIR SUPPLY & VENTILATION
The area around the appliance must be kept clear to avoid airflow obstruction of combustion and ventilation air as well as for ease of maintenance and service. Never use the interior of the fryer cabinet for storage.
A.Means must be provided for any commercial,
Exhaust hoods and air conditioning systems can produce slight air drafts in the room, which can interfere with pilot or burner performance. Air movement patterns should be defined during installation. If pilot or burner problems arise or persist, alteration of air movement patterns will be required.
B.Do not place the flue outlet of the fryer directly into the plenum of the hood; fryer gas combustion will be affected.
C.Exhaust temperatures, in addition to the open tank of hot oil, make the storage of anything on shelving over or behind the fryer unsafe.
D.Filters and drip troughs should be part of any industrial hood. Consult local codes before installing an industrial hood.
2.5 ALTITUDE
The input rating (BTU/hr) of YSCFC24 Series fryers is rated for elevations up to 2,000 feet (610 Meters). For elevations above 2,000 feet (610 Meters), the rating should be reduced four percent for each additional 1,000 feet (305 Meters) above sea level.
