YSCFHC18G HIGH EFFICIENCY COOL ZONE SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2.3 Principles of Operation
The incoming gas flows through orifices and is mixed with air in the burners to create the correct ratio
for proper combustion. The mixture is ignited at the front end of each heat tube by the pilot light.
Internal diffusers slow the flame as it goes through the burner tube. This slow, turbulent flame
increases heat transfer to the walls of the tubes to heating the oil more efficiently.
2.4 Rating Plate
This is attached to the inside of the front door panel. Information provided includes the model and
serial number of the fryer, BTU/hr (kW/hr) input of the burners, outlet gas pressure in inches W.C.
(mbars), and whether the unit has natural (G20/25) or propane (G31) gas orifices.
2.5 Pre-Installation
DANGER
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection
against electrical shock and must be plugged directly into a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle. Do not cut, remove, or otherwise bypass the grounding
prong on this plug.
A. General: Only licensed personnel should install any gas-fired equipment.
1. A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed in the gas supply line ahead of the fryers for
safety and ease of future service.
2. The Frymaster YSCFH18G gas fryers require 120 volts (AC) 60-cycle electrical service
for U.S./Canada/Mexico installations. Fryers are equipped with a 16-3 SJT grounded
flexible power cord for a direct connection to the power supply. Amperage draw for each
unit depends on the accessories supplied with the unit. See detailed instructions packaged
with the fryer line-up.
DANGER
No structural material on the fryer should be altered or removed to accommodate
placement of the fryer under a hood. Questions? Call the Frymaster Service Hotline

CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2.6 Air Supply and Ventilation
DANGER
Do not connect this appliance to the gas supply before reviewing each step in this
section.
A. Keep the area around the fryer clear to prevent obstruction of combustion and ventilation airflow
and to allow for service and maintenance. Always adhere to the following:
1. Do not connect this fryer to an exhaust duct.
2. Follow installation and adjustment procedure to ensure adequate airflow to the fryer system.
3. A heavy-duty, commercial fryer’s combustion wastes must vent to the outside of the
building. A deep-fat fryer must be installed under a powered exhaust hood, or an exhaust
fan must be provided in the wall above the unit. Exhaust gas temperatures are
approximately 800-1000°F (427-538°C). Check air movement during installation. Strong
exhaust fans in the exhaust hood or in the overall air conditioning system can produce
slight air drafts in the room and cause erratic burner flames or improper fryer operation.
4. Do not place the fryer’s flue outlet directly into the plenum of the hood, as it will affect the
gas combustion of the fryer.
5. Never use the interior of the fryer cabinet for storage or store items on shelving over or
behind the fryer. Exhaust temperatures can exceed 800°F (427ºC) and may damage or
melt items stored in or near the fryer.
6. Adequate distance must be maintained from the flue outlet of the fryer(s) to the lower edge
of the filter bank. Per NFPA Standards No. 96, a minimum of 18-inches (45-cm) should be
maintained between the flue(s) and the lower edge of the exhaust hood filter.
7. Filters and drip troughs should be part of an industrial hood, but consult local codes before
constructing and installing any hood. The duct system, the exhaust hood, and the filter
bank must be cleaned on a regular basis and kept free of grease.
2.7 Equipment Installed at High Altitudes
A. The fryer input rating [BTU/hr (kW/hr)] is for elevations up to 2,000 feet (610 m). For
elevations above 2,000 feet (610 m), the rating should be reduced 4% for each additional
1,000 feet (305 m) above sea level.
B. The correct orifices are installed at the factory if operating altitude is known at time of the
customer’s order.

2.8 Restraining the Fryer
DANGER
No structural material on the fryer should be altered or removed to accommodate
placement of the fryer under a hood. Questions? Call the Frymaster Dean Service
Hotline at 1-800-551-8633.
1. Once the fryer has been positioned at the frying station, use a carpenter’s level placed across the
top of the frypot to verify that the unit is level, both side-to-side and front-to-back.
• To level fryers equipped with legs, the bottom of the legs can be screwed out up to one inch for
leveling. Legs should also be adjusted so that the fryer(s) are at the proper height in the frying
station.
• For fryers equipped with casters, there are no built-in leveling devices. The floor where the
fryers are installed must be level.
2. With the fryer level in its final position, install the restraints provided with the unit to limit its
movement so that it does not depend on or transmit stress to the electrical conduits/connections
or the gas supply line. Install the restraints in accordance with the provided instructions (see
illustration below). If disconnected for service or other reasons, the restraints must be
reconnected before the fryer is used.
DANGER
Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of this appliance without
depending on or transmitting stress to the electrical conduit. A restraint kit is
provided with the fryer. If the restraint kit is missing contact your local Frymaster
