When installed, minimum clearance from combustible and non-combustible construction must be 6" at the sides and 6" at the rear. There must be at least 16" clearance between the fryer and any open top flame units. The fryer may be installed on combustible floors.

The installation location must allow adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation. A minimum front clearance of 36" is required.

Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber must be provided. Make sure there is an adequate supply of air in the room to replace air taken out by the ventilating system. This will prevent fryer function from being affected by a reduced atmospheric pressure.

Do not permit fans to blow directly at the fryer. Wherever possible, avoid open windows next to the sides or back of the fryer. Avoid wall-type fans which create air cross currents within the room.

INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS

The fryer must be installed in accordance with:

1.State and local codes.

2.National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI-Z223.1 (latest edition). Copies may be obtained from The American Gas Associaton, Inc., 1515 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22209.

3.National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA-70 (latest edition). Copies may be obtained from The National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

ASSEMBLY

Screw the legs into the permanently fastened nuts on four corners of the fryer bottom. Tighten the legs and set the fryer in place. CAUTION: Do not slide fryer with legs mounted. If it is necessary to move the fryer, allow it to cool, then lift it.

GAS CONNECTIONS

CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound used must be resistant to the action of propane gases.

All fryers are equipped with fixed orifices for use with either natural or propane gas, as ordered, and no adjustment is necessary.

Fryers for operation on natural or propane gas must have a pressure regulator with an outlet pressure of 4" Water Column for natural gas supply, and 10.0" Water Column for propane gas supply. These pressure regulators are available from Vulcan-Hart.
