Use and Care Manual

GAS CONNECTION
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” (12.7 mm) iron pipe. If using the optional
quick-disconnect flex hose, ¾” (19 mm) iron pipe.
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.
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 4” W.C. (Water Column) (0.8 kPa) for natural gas and 10” W.C. (2.75
kPa) for propane gas. If incoming pressure exceeds ½ PSI (3.45 kPa), an additional pressure regulator
must be installed.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM:
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.
Fryers with Casters:
Separate instructions for installing casters are included 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, 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 CSA 6.9 or Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel,
 When installing a quick disconnect you must also install a means for
