SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

FOR YOUR SAFETY, THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE FOLLOWED AND ENFORCED.

1. Instructions must be posted in a prominent location and all safety precautions taken in the event the user smells gas. Obtain this
information from your local gas supplier.

IF YOU SMELL GAS:

1. OPEN WINDOWS

2. DON’T TOUCH ELECTRICAL SWITCHES

2. LIGHTING – Follow the instructions on page 4 and on label attached to inside of fryer door.

3. Do not place anything over the flue opening.

4. Do not place combustible or non-combustible material in the vicinity of the fryer as this could cause fires or obstruct air to the main
burners.

5. This installation must conform to local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54, or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1, as applicable, including:

a. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any testing of

that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

b. 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 or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).

6. Provide adequate air supply and ventilation.

7. Provide adequate clearance for air openings into
the combustion chamber.

8. Provide clearance for servicing and proper
operation. Minimum clearance from combustible
construction is 6 inches from back and 6 inches
from side.

9. Fryer must be disconnected from gas supply
during any pressure testing of pipelines in
excess of ½ psig, and isolated (by turning off
manual gas shut-off valve) during any testing
equal to or less than ½ psig.

10. Retain this manual for future reference.

3. EXTINGUISH ANY OPEN FLAMES

4. IMMEDIATELY CALL YOUR GAS SUPPLIER

SECTION A – INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

A1 – Unpacking – With the container upright cut the plastic straps around shipping container and lift off top, exposing
Fryer. Check Fryer for any visible change due to exceptionally rough handling during shipping. Report damage to

the delivering Freight Carrier within 15 days of delivery.

A2 – Accessories shipped in the vessel include:

1 – Basket Hanger 1 – Tank Cover
2 – Baskets 1 – Large Basket
1 – Drain Pipe Extension 4 – Swivel Casters (2w/Locks)
4 – 6 inch Adjustable Legs 1 – Quick Disconnect Connector, 48’’ w/restraint

A3 - Mounting of Legs or Casters

of Fryer. When installing casters make sure the swivel lock casters are mounted towards the front of the fryer. A high
strength Restrainer and Quick Disconnect Gas Connecter must be installed when casters are used. Avoid putting
any strain on rear legs or casters when tipping fryer back to an upright position.

A4 – Pre-Installation Instructions

and Local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 • NFPA54, and the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA-B149.1, as
applicable.

A5 – Air Supply and Ventilation

properly and efficiently. The area in front of and above the Fryer must be clear to avoid any obstruction of flow of
combustion and ventilation air. Do not,
system or place the flue outlet directly into the plenum of the exhaust hood as it will adversely affect the gas
combustion of the Fryer.

The vent system should be of such design as to allow easy access for cleaning and degreasing on a regular basis in
order to prevent fires. An automatic fire extinguishing system should be an integral part of the vent design. Since the
temperature of the flue gases emanating from the Fryer flue can reach 1200° F, temperature sensing devices of the
automatic fire extinguishing system must be sized accordingly to prevent premature turn-on. The minimum vertical
distance from the top of the Fryer flue to vent system filters should be 18 inches or more.

A6 – Clearances

and non-combustible construction is as follows: 6 inches from SIDE and 6 inches from BACK. Fryer must be
installed with 6 inches high legs or casters (optional). At least 16 inches clearance must be provided between the
frying surface of the Fryer and the surface flames from any adjacent cooking equipment.

A7 – Gas Connection

that the gas type called for on label coincides with the type of gas available on site. A ½ inch NPT gas pipe
connection is provided at the rear of fryer. An accessible manual shut-off valve must be installed in the gas supply
line ahead of the Fryer for future service. The supply pipe must be sized to accommodate all the gas fired equipment
that may be connected to the gas supply. Check with your local Gas Company as to proper pipe size. Only pipe
sealant resistant to action of L.P. gas should be used on pipe joints. Before attempting to light Fryer, check joints for
tightness using a soap and water solution. Do not use an open flame.

A8 – Flexible Gas Connectors and Restraints

Connector that complies with the Standard for – Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances ANSI Z21.69 • CSA6.16 and a Quick-Disconnect
Device compliant with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for use with Gas Fuel Connector or Quick-Disconnect Device. A high
strength Restrainer and proper size Quick-Disconnect Gas Connector conforming to above ANSI and/or CAN/CGA standards should be
ordered from Cecilware in conjunction with our NSF approved casters. If disconnection of the restraint is necessary for servicing Fryer, the

– Your Fryer is design certified for use on combustible floors. The minimum clearances for combustible

– Before connecting Fryer to gas line, check the rating label on inside of door panel to make sure

– Carefully tip Fryer back and screw legs or (optional) casters into the threaded base

– The installation of your Fryer must be made by a licensed plumber and the installation must conform to State

– Adequate ventilation and air supply must be provided in order for the Fryer to operate

Accessories available as optional:

under any circumstances, connect the Fryer flue directly to a building exhaust

(See illustration 1) – For Fryers equipped with casters, installation shall be made with a

4

Restraint must be reconnected after appliance has been returned to its originally installed position.

ILLUSTRATION 1

Installation of Quick Disconnect and High Strength Restrainer.

Set the length of the restraining device so that

the connector is not kinked when the

restraining device is fully extended.

Instructions for an appliance equipped with Casters:

1) The installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable
Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 • CSA 6.16, and a Quick-Disconnect Device that complies to the Standard for
Quick-Disconnect Devices for use with Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 • CSA 6.9.

2) Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of the appliance without depending on the connector
and the Quick-Disconnect Device or its associated piping.

3) The location(s) where the restraining means may be attached to the appliance shall be specified.

1. Restraining device should be installed parallel (in line) with the gas
appliance connector.

2. Attach the staple bracket (C) to a stud in the wall using the four 1” #12
screws (D) and the plastic anchors (E), if needed.

3. Locate a structural area (frame) on the rear side of the equipment that is in
line with the wall attachment. Drill a small hole, ¼” (per manufacturers’
recommendation). Please use caution when drilling hole, so that internal
components are not damaged.

4. Slide the hex nut (G) and a washer (I) onto the eye-bolt (F). Slide the eye­bolt through the opening and place a washer (I) and the nylon lock nut (H)
onto the eye-bolt on the inside frame of the equipment and tighten down.

5. Attach one of the spring-loaded hooks (B) to the mounted bracket on the
wall (Step 2) and the other to the eye-bolt (Steps 3 and 4).
Note: For adjustable restraining devices, the cable is manufactured to be
shorter than the length of the gas connector.
