In addition to the above clearances there must also be at least 16 inches (40.64cm) of aisle space in front of the unit.

WARNING

DO NOT obstruct the flow of ventilation, or air openings around the appliance. Adequate clearance around the appliance is necessary for servicing and proper component ventilation. Ensure that you meet the minimum clearance requirements specified in this manual.

WARNING

DO NOT install this appliance next to a deep fat fryer. A splash over of water into the hot oil may cause a flash fire.

CAUTION

To prevent equipment damage and/or personal injury, do not tilt the appliance onto any two of its casters or legs, or pull the appliance by the splash back.

1.3. LEG/CASTER INSTALLATION AND LEVELING

When you receive your appliance it is completely assembled with the possible exception of the legs (or casters). This appliance must be installed with legs or casters; it cannot be curb mounted. Curb mounting will seriously inhibit this appliance’s ability to effect proper component ventilation. The legs/casters must be installed before connecting the appliance to the power supply. The legs provide the necessary height to meet sanitation requirements and assure adequate air supply for electrical component ventilation. Use the following procedure.

WARNING

This appliance must be installed with the legs or casters provided by the manufacturer.

Required tools: 7/16 “ wrench and socket and a large pair of water pump pliers.

1.Lay the appliance on its back, being careful not to damage the splash back by pulling on it. Protect the outside of the appliance with cardboard or a drop cloth when laying it down.

2.Attach each leg/caster with the hex head screws and nuts supplied. Each leg/caster requires four ¼-20 x 5/8” hex head screws and nuts. Insure that all screws are tight.

3.Mount the screws from the inside of the appliance with the nut on the outside (bottom) of the appliance. The nuts have lock washers attached to

them, therefore it is not necessary to use separate lock washers.

WARNING

DO NOT install legs or casters, or perform leveling procedure when appliance is in operation or full of hot liquids. Serious injury could result.

4.When all four legs/casters are securely mounted, stand

the unit up, being careful not to put too much weight on any one leg. Adjust the height and level the appliance by adjusting the leveling devices (B) with water pump pliers. On casters, loosen 2 screws (A) before leveling, make your height adjustments, then retighten.
