Use and Care Manual

When test pressures exceed ½ PSI (3.45 kPa), the fryer and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When test pressures are ½ PSI (3.45 kPa) or less, the fryer must be isolated from the gas supply
piping system by closing its individual shutoff valve.
If any leaks must be repaired, ensure the line is free of any residual gas and then execute the
needed remedial action safely and properly to conform to the prevailing codes and ordinances.
MOBILE FRYER INSTALLATION:
Mobile fryers may not come with approved casters, a quick disconnect supply hose, or a secure
restraining device. Typically, these fryers are equipped with leveling legs for stationary setups,
allowing a secure connection to gas piping.
For installations that require casters, follow separate instructions included with caster kits:
▪ Gas Connector: Ensure the installation includes a gas connector that complies with the
current Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z-21.69, or Connectors
for Movable Gas Appliances, CAN/CGA-6.16.
▪ Quick-Disconnect Device: Use a quick-disconnect device that adheres to the Standard for
Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, ANSI Z-21.41, or Quick-Disconnect Devices
for Use with Gas Fuel, CANI-6.9.
▪ Restraining Device: Install a restraining device to prevent any strain on the gas line or
quick-disconnect hose. Attach this device to the mounting system or cutout on the fryer’s
back panel.
▪ If it's necessary to disconnect the restraining device for servicing or cleaning the unit, always
remember to reconnect the restraining device after placing the fryer back into its original
position.
▪ The fryer must be used with an approved restraint cable and quick-disconnect gas supply
flexible hose connector that complies with all applicable codes.
▪ Ensure that the fryer setup has a proven means of restraining to prevent transmitting strain to
the restraining connector. For more details, refer to the illustration above for a better under-
standing of this requirement.
▪ The fryer should be installed with the casters provided by the manufacturer or approved by
the manufacturer.
▪ If the restraint cable needs to be disconnected for any reason, the gas supply should be
turned off first. Then, reconnect the restraint cable before returning the appliance to normal
operation.
Manufacturers or distributors often offer approved mobile gas appliance installation kits. These
kits include proper casters (usually with 2 brakes), an approved quick disconnect hose, and a
rated restraining cable. Using such kits ensures compliance with safety standards and maintains
the factory equipment warranty.
