GasConnection

Your fryer will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to provide the correct gas flow. The gas line must be installed to meet the local building codes or National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 Latest Edition. In Canada, install the fryer in accordance with CAN/CGA-B149.1 or .2 and local codes. Gas line sizing requirements can be determined by your local gas company by referring to National Fuel Gas Code, Appendix C, Table C-4 (natural gas) and Table C-16 (propane). The gas line needs to be large enough to supply the necessary amount of fuel to all appliances without losing pressure to any appliance.

WARNING

NEVER supply the fryer with a gas that is not indicated on the data plate. Using the incorrect gas type will cause improper operation. If you need to convert the fryer to another type of fuel, contact your dealer.

Fuel Types - Each fryer is equipped to work with one type of fuel. The type of fuel with which the appliance is intended to operate is stamped on the data plate attached to the inside of the door.

NOTICE

NEVERuseanadaptortomakeasmallergassupplylinefitthecookerconnection. Thismay not allow proper gas flow for optimum burner operation, resulting in poor cooker perfor- mance.

Quick Disconnect Gas Connection

Gas fryers equipped with casters must be installed with connectors that comply with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z223.1 Latest Edition, and Addenda Z21.69A Latest Edition. This connection should include a quick disconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel , ANSI Z223.1 Latest Edition. When installing a quick disconnect you must also install a means for limiting the movement of the fryer. This device will prevent the gas line or the quick disconnect from being strained. The restraining device should be attached to the cooker on the back panel.

Fuel Supply Line Leak and Pressure Testing

The fuel supply system must be tested before the fryer is used. If the fuel line is going to be tested at a pressure greater than (>)1/2 PSIG (3.45 kPa), make sure that the fryer is disconnected from the fuel line. If the fuel line is to be tested at a pressure equal to or less than (<) 1/2 PSIG (3.45 kPa), the fryer can be connected but the unit's gas valve must be shut. Test all gas line connections for leaks with a solution of soap and water when pressure is applied.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

The electrical service used by the fryer must comply with local codes. If there are no local codes that apply, refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70 to install the service. In Canada refer to CSA Standard C22.1 and local codes. Wiring diagrams are provided inside the fryer control box. The power requirements for the fryer are shown below.
