DANGER

Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of this appliance without

depending upon the gas line connection. Single fryers equipped with legs must be

stabilized by installing anchor straps. All fryers equipped with casters must be stabilized by

installing restraining chains. If a flexible gas line is used, an additional restraining cable

DANGER

The front ledge of the fryer is not a step. Do not stand on the fryer. Serious injury can result

from slips or contact with the hot oil.

CAUTION

Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and liquids in the vicinity of this or

any other appliance.

CAUTION

Instructions to be followed in the event the operator smells gas or otherwise detects a gas

leak must be posted in a prominent location. This information can be obtained from the

WARNING

Do not bang fry baskets or other utensils on the fryer’s joiner strip. The strip is present to

seal the joint between the frypot. Banging fry baskets on the strip to dislodge shortening

will distort the strip, adversely affecting its fit. It is designed for a tight fit and should only

be removed for cleaning.
