1.2.2 Clearances

The unit requires a clearance of at least 100mm to the
rear between unit and any combustible wall.

A minimum vertical clearance of 750mm should be
allowed between top edge of flue outlet and any
overlying combustible surface.

Important

If fryer is to be installed with other appliances then the
instructions for each unit should be consulted to
determine the necessary clearance to any combustible
wall or overlying surface.

Some appliances require greater clearance distances
than others. The largest clearance will therefore
determine overall distance for a complete suite of
adjoining appliances.

1.3 VENTILATION

The appliance ventilation requirements should be in line
with national and local regulations.

For multiple installations, requirements should be added
together. Installations should be made in accordance with
local and/or national regulations applying at the time.
A competent engineer must be used for any installation
work.

1.4 ELECTRICAL SUPPLY

A cable conforming to code designation 0245 IEC 57
(eg. H07RN-F 5G4) must be used for connection to a
400V 3N~ supply incorporating a suitable isolating switch.

and DIMENSIONS

1.2 SITING

Each unit must be installed on a firm level floor in a
well-lit draught free position. The fryer should be installed
in a freestanding position to prevent any possibility of
sideways tipping under force. The means of restraint may
be the manner of installation, such as connection to a
battery of appliances or installing the fryer in an alcove, or
by separate means, such as adequate ties.

1.2.1 Anti-tipping Bracket

An anti-tipping mechanism is also available as an
accessory. If fitted, the brackets must be installed to
locate the fryer in the correct position relative to any walls
as detailed below. Fixing holes are provided in fryer base
to accommodate the bracket. Details of fitting can be
found in Figure 1 below. The retaining chain has a quick
release eyelet. Attach securely to fixing point and secure
bracket to floor after alignment with bracket attached to
the fryer. Adjust bracket to slide below floor bracket.
