Manual

TO ASSEMBLE
The fryer must be restrained to prevent tipping and the splashing of hot liquid. The means of restraint may be the manner
of installation, such as connection to a battery of appliances, installing the fryer in an alcove, or by separate means such as
adequate ties.
Note: The gas supply pressure at gas inlet should be less than 3.5 kPa.
1. Turn all burner controls OFF.
• Turn gas supply valve OFF.
2. Reconfigure Pressure Regulator
• Remove converter cap and pin from pressure regulator.
• Carefully remove pin from cap.
• Invert pin and reinstall in cap.
• Be sure gasket is in place on cap, then securely reinstall cap and pin on pressure regulator.
3. Remove burners.
4. Remove and discard orifice hoods from burner control nozzles; install orifice hoods from kit.
5. Reinstall burners.
6. Turn gas supply valve ON.
7. Adjust pilot flames.
8. Adjust burner flames.
9. Affix propane conversion label to rear of appliance, near the nameplate.
Procedure is complete.
TO CONNECT FLUE
• Comply with Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment, ANSI-NFPA Standard #96 (latest edition), available
from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
• Locate the fryer under a hood with adequate connection to an exhaust duct. The hood must extend 6” (15 cm)
beyond fryer on both sides.
• Clearance above the fryer should be adequate for combustion byproducts to be removed efficiently.
• An 18” (46 cm) minimum clearance should be maintained between the flue vent and the filters of the hood
venting system.
• Never make flue connections directly to the fryer.
• Do not obstruct the flow of the gases from the appliance. Proper air balance should be maintained in the room.
TO CONNECT GAS
• All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of propane gases
• The gas inlet is located on the lower rear of the fryer. Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the
gas line ahead of the fryer.
• The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of ½” X (12.7 mm) iron pipe for single units and 1-1/4”
(31.75 mm) for batteries. If using the optional quick-disconnect flex hose, ¾” X (19mm) iron pipe for single
units and 1-1/4” (31.75 cm) iron pipe for batteries.
• Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound.
• A battery requires one or two connections of appropriate size for the gas requirement.
Note: Prior to lighting, check all joints in the gas supply line for leaks. Use soap and water solution. Do not use an
open flame.
After piping has been checked for leaks, fully purge gas pipes to remove air.
GAS PRESSURES (ALL MODELS):
The gas pressure should be set at 5” W.C. (Water Column) (1.25 kPa) of pressure for natural gas and 10” W.C. (2.54kPa)
of pressure for propane gas. If incoming pressure exceeds ½ PSI (3.5 kPa), an additional pressure regulator must be
installed.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM:
When test pressures exceed ½ PSI (3.5 kPa), the fryer and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system. When test pressures are ½ PSI (3.5 kPa) or less, the fryer must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual shutoff valve.
FRYERS AND CASTERS:
Separate instructions for installing casters are included in with the casters:
The installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas
Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or Connectors for Moveable Gas Appliances, CAN/CGA-6.16, and a quick disconnect device
that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, ANSI z21.41 or Quick-Disconnect
Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, CANI-6.9. When installing a quick disconnect, you must also install a means for limiting
