Ventilation And Fire Safety Systems
Your new appliance must have proper ventilation to function safely and properly. Exhaust gas temperatures can reach as high as 1100 °F (593 °C). Therefore, it is very important to install a fire safety system. Your ventilation system should be designed to allow for easy cleaning. Frequent cleaning and proper maintenance of the ventilation system and the appliance will reduce the chances of fire. Ventilation and fire safety systems must comply to local and national codes for US and Canada. Refer to ANSI 83.11 for a list of reference documents that will provide guidance on ventilation and fire safety systems. For installations in U.S. and Canada, additional information can be obtained from CSA International, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, OH, 44131 or visit their website at www.csa- international.org. In Australia the ventilation system must comply with AS/NZS 5601.0.
It is essential that the appliance be operated only when adequate ventilation is provided. Your ventilation hood should be properly maintained. A qualified installation professional should ensure that the hood is operating properly in conjunction with the appliance. Inadequate ventilation may not properly evacuate appliance all emissions. Excessive or unbalanced ventilation may cause drafts, which could interfere with proper operation of the pilot and burners. Leave at least 18 inches (47cm) of open space between the flue of the appliance and the intake of the exhaust hood.
WARNING
Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the appliance’s flue opening. A down draft will not allow the appliance to exhaust properly and will cause overheating, which may cause permanent damage. Damage caused by down drafts will not be covered by the warranty. NEVER allow anything to obstruct the flow of combustibles or ventilation exiting the appliance. NEVER place anything on top of the flue area, or block the flue in any way. Never place a grease condensing drip pan over the flue opening.
WARNING
NEVER connect the ventilation blower or hood directly to the flue of this appliance. The resulting increased flow of air through the combustion system will cause improper operation, poor temperature recovery, poor ignition and could extinguish the pilot.
WARNING
Replacing or adding appliances under a
If installed in Australia the fryer must be installed in accordance with AS/NZS 5601, local authority and any other relevant statutory regulations. Flexible hose (if used) must comply with AS/NZS 1869 Class B or D, be of appropriate internal diameter, be kept as short as possible (not exceed 1.2 meters), must not be kinked and not be in contact with a hot surface. A chain must be fitted to restrict the fryer movement to no more than 80% of the hose length.
NOTICE
NEVER connect the blower directly to the flue openings. The direct flow of air will cause poor temperature recovery,
poor ignition, inefficient operation of the fryer, and could extinguish the pilot.
Gas Line Requirements
A properly installed gas supply system will deliver 7.0 ± 2.0" w.c. natural gas (12.0 ± 2.0" w.c. LP) to all appliances connected to the line, operating at full demand.
NOTICE
Do NOT exceed 13.5” W.C. pressure as damage may occur to the gas valve
