WARNING

The fryer is equipped with an oil proof, electrical supply cord with a three prong safety plug. This is to protect operators from electrical shock hazard in the event of an equipment malfunction. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding (third) prong from this plug.

If your fryer uses line current (electric power), a supply cord will be furnished with a three prong (grounding) plug. This plug provides protection against shock hazards in the event of equipment malfunction. The plug should be plugged into a properly grounded three prong receptacle.

The fryer has one power supply which supplies power to the fryer controls. The fryer must be grounded in accordance with local code; if there is not a local code, comply with NEC ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990. It is advised that this power supply be plugged into a wall receptacle that is controlled by the ventilation control. This will prevent the fryer from being operated without the ventilator on.

1.4.4Ventilation and Fire Safety Systems

Your new fryer must have proper ventilation to function safely and properly. Exhaust gas temperatures can reach as high as 1200°F. Therefore, it is very important to install a fire safety system. Your ventilation system should be designed to allow for easy cleaning. Frequent cleaning of the ventilation system and the fryer will reduce the chances of fire. Table 1-2 provides a list of reference documents that provide guidance on ventilation and fire safety systems. This table is not necessarily complete.
