NOTICE

Local codes regarding installation vary greatly from one area to another. The National Fire Protection Association,
Inc. states in its NFPA 96 latest edition that local codes are the “authority having jurisdiction” when it comes to
installation requirements for equipment. Therefore, installations should comply with all local codes.

Blodgett Range reserves the right to change specifications and product design without notice. Such revisions do
not entitle the buyer to corresponding changes, additions, or replacements for previously purchased equipment.

This product is intended for commercial use only, not for household use.

The installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code,

ANSI Z223.1, Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the Propane Installation Code CAN/CGA-
B149.2, as applicable, including:

1. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.45 kPa).

2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.45
kPa).

CLEARANCES

of a battery that has a continuous shared flue riser, follow the minimum clearance requirements for the flue riser of the
adjoining section(s).

SECTIONAL FRYER FILTER SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS

GAS SUPPLY

The Sectional Fryer Filter System does not use any gas, but it does have a 1-1/4" front gas manifold the couples to
the adjacent sectional unit(s).

ELECTRICITY SUPPLY

The Sectional Fryer Filter System requires electric power (50Hz or 60Hz single-phase AC). 120V models draw a
maximum of 6.5 amps, and have a 7-foot (2134 mm) power cord with a grounded plug. 230V models draw a
maximum of 2.6 amps, and have a terminal block for connection to a single-phase 230V source.

The appliance, when installed, must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of
local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2, as
applicable.

VENTILATION

WARNING

Improper ventilation can result in personal injury or death. Ventilation which fails to properly remove flue products
can cause headaches, drowsiness, nausea, or could result in death.

All gas appliances must be installed in such a manner that the flow of combustion and ventilation air is not
obstructed. Provisions for adequate air supply must be provided.

NOTICE

Proper ventilation is the owner’s responsibility. Any problem due to improper ventilation will not be covered by the
warranty.

Be sure to inspect and clean the ventilation system according to the ventilation equipment manufacturer’s
instructions.

The Sectional Fryer Filter System is electrically powered, and so does not require combustion air. However, the flue
riser may contain exhaust gasses from adjoining appliances that share an optional continuous flue riser. Follow the
ventilation requirements for the adjoining section(s).

OPERATION SECTIONAL FRYER FILTER SYSTEM

OPERATION

DANGER

EXPLOSION HAZARD

In the event a gas odor is detected, shut down equipment at the main shut off valve. Immediately call the
emergency phone number of your gas supplier.

WARNING

BURN HAZARD

CONTACT WITH HOT OIL WILL CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. ALWAYS USE CAUTION. OIL AT 200°F IS MORE
DANGEROUS THAN BOILING WATER.

The fryer filter system is contained in a cabinet that is part of a battery that includes deep fryers (see Figure 3). The
frypot-drains of the fryers are connected to a pipe that drains into a filter pan in the bottom of the filter cabinet. When
the power switch of the filter system is turned on, a pump draws the drained oil through a filter on the bottom of the
filter pan to remove breading and other impurities, and pumps the oil out of a discharge hose. The discharge hose can
be positioned to return the filtered oil to a frypot, to pump it into a container for disposal, or to pump it into a container
for storage while the frypot is cleaned.
