INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

UNPACKING: Carefully remove unit from container and inspect to any damage due to shipping.
CAUTION: Examine the gas specification label attached to the door panel to be certain that the type of gas for

which the unit is equipped is the same as the gas supply available.
INSTALLATION: Legs (in a plastic bag) are shipped with unit. To install legs, carefully tip the fryer up on its back
and screw the four legs into the threaded brackets on the bottom of the fryer. Select a location and level unit
by turning the leg adjustment screws (12) as indicated in the drawing.
GAS HOOK-UP: (For Installation Code see note 5 above). The fryer comes equipped with a 3/8" NPT Pressure
Regulator (4" W.C. for Nat. Gas and 10" W.C. for Propane) which is located between the manifold pipe and the
3/8" NPT gas inlet pipe. The size of the supply pipe to the fryer is very important for peak performance. Check
with your local gas company as to the proper pipe size. A manual gas shut -off valve should be installed between
gas supply line and fryer.
Check for gas leaks with soap and water solution before attempting to light the fryer. Adequate ventilation should
be provided where the fryer is installed.

DO NOT CONNECT THE FRYER FLUE DIRECTLY TO A BUILDING EXHAUS T PIPE.
FILLING FRY TANK: Always use top grade commercial shortening with high smoke point and resistance to

breakdown. Result: Longer fat life and better tasting food.
Be certain that the drain valve is closed before filling the fat container. Fill the fry tank with cooking compound to

the level line at the rear of the fat container or two inches above the top of the burner tubes.
NOTE: If solid fat is used, make sure that it is packed in solid and between the heat tubes and on the top before

lighting the unit. Insufficient packing will cause the heat tubes to reach excessive temperatures and cause the fat
to bum. Damage to the tubes may also result. It is safest to melt the shortening gradually by turning the burners
on and off for seconds until the tubes are covered with melted shortening.
