D.NATURAL GAS / LP GAS (PROPANE) CONVERSION

1.This fryer is orificed at the factory for natural gas at a pressure of 3.5” of water column. The installed orifice is suitable for use at -280 to 2999 feet (-85 to 914 meters) elevation. It is the responsibility of the installer to install the factory recommended orifice and pressure regulator kit suitable for the fuel type and elevation at the final installation site.

2.The red tag (p/n 301217) attached to the gas connection provides pressure settings and part numbers for conversion kits applicable to various fuels and altitudes.

NOTE: Failure to install proper orifices can potentially cause burner and flue system failure.

Damaged caused by improper orifice installation is NOT covered by warranty.

E.FLAME ADJUSTMENT

1.A proper flame will have a bright blue, well defined inner cone, and a strong, light blue outer cone with only a very little yellow along the outermost edges.

2.Too much yellow indicated a rich flame. Adjust by opening the shutter or decreasing the orifice size (see tag p/n 301217 for proper orifice size for the installation altitude).

3.No yellow and a very small inner cone indicates a lean flame. Adjust by closing the shutter or increasing the orifice size (see tag p/n 301217 for proper orifice size for the installation altitude).
