INSTALLATION
e importance of proper installation of commercial
gas cooking equipment cannot be over stressed.
Proper performance of the equipment is dependent,
in great part, on the compliance of the installation
with the manufacturer’s specifications. In addition,
compliance with the National Fuel Gas code
ANSI Z .-/NFPA and/or Local code is required
to assure safe and efficient operation.
Appliances shall be installed in a location in which the
facilities for ventilation permit satisfactory combustion
of gas and proper venting. Appliances shall be located so
as not to interfere with proper circulation of air within
the confined space. When buildings are so tight that

INSTALLATION Continued
NOTE: is appliance is not recommended for
residential installation.
Clearances
From Combustible material ” (mm) sides and rear.
A clearance of .” to non combustible construction
as sides & rear is acceptable. e fryer is suitable for
installation on combustible floor.
Gas Connections and Piping Sizing
e size of the gas line is very important. If the line is
too small, the gas pressure at the burner manifold will
be low. is will cause slow recovery, delayed ignition,
and pilot outage. Refer to the Gas Line Sizing Chart in
the nation Fuel Codebook.
Before connecting new pipe to your GARLAND Fryer,
the pipe must be thoroughly blown out to depose of
all foreign particles. If these foreign particles get into
the burner and controls they will cause improper and
sometimes dangerous operation.
When using thread compound, use it sparingly and one
on male threads. Use compound that is impervious to
the action of Propane gases. Do not put any on the first
two threads. is will prevent fouling the controls and
clogging the pilot and main burner orifices.
Make sure that installer checks all plumbing with a
soap solution for leaks. DO NOT USE A FLAME,
MATCHES, CANDLES, or other ignition source in
checking for leaks.
Casters
A. e installation shall be made with a connector
that complies with the standard for connectors
for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or
the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas
Appliances, CAN/CGS-6.16, and quick disconnect
device that complies with the Standard for Quick
Disconnects for Use with Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41,
or the Standard for Quick Disconnects for Use with
Gas Fuel, CAN/CGA-6.9.
B. e front casters of the unit are equipped with
brakes to limit the movement of the fryer without
depending on the connector and any quick
disconnect device or its associated piping to limit
the appliance movement.
C. Please be aware, required restraint is attached to a
bracket on the fryer (connection point is located on
the left rear caster of the fryer), and if disconnection
of the restraint is necessary, be sure to reconnect
the restraint after the fryer has been returned to its
originally installed position.
NOTE: When installed, the fryer must be restrained
to prevent tipping in order to avoid the splashing of hot
liquid. e 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.

Frypot
Before leaving the factory, the fryer was tested, and
the thermostat was calibrated, with oil in the frypot;
therefore, it is necessary to clean the frypot before
adding frying compound. Rinse the frypot with clean
water, then put some fryer cleaner on a damp cloth,
full strength, and wipe the entire frypot clean. Rinse
it thoroughly and wipe dry. e fryer is now ready for
use. If the fryer doe not have a stainless steel frypot and
is not to be used immediately after cleaning, coat the
entire frypot surface with shortening or cooking oil to
prevent rust.
back.. Position leg insert into leg retainer opening and
tap up until it seats at collar flange. Repeat at rear of unit
making sure all four legs are adjusted to same height.
Legs can be adjusted to overcome an uneven floor.
CAUTION: ese types of GARLAND Fryers cannot
be installed on a masonry base or without proper clearance
from floor. Primary air is supplied to the ‘jet – type”
burner from the front and mainly from the bottom of
the fryer. If installed on a masonry base or directly on
floor without the use of the factory supplied ” (mm)
legs or casters, improper combustion will occur.
INSTALLATION Continued
Ventilation and Air Supply
One of the most important considerations is ventilation.
e fryer must be installed so that products of combustions
are removed efficiently, but so that the kitchen ventilation
system does not produce drafts that interfere with proper
burner operation. e fryer flue opening must NOT be
placed close to the intake of the exhaust fan.
e fryer must never have its flue extended in a chimney
fashion. is changes the combustion characteristics of
the fryer. is will cause the fryer to be slow to recover,
frequently cause delayed ignition, and sometimes cause
pilot outage.
e ideal method of ventilating a fryer is the use of a
properly designed canopy which should extend six inches
(”) (mm)beyond all sides of the appliance and six
feet (’) six inches (”) (mm) from the floor.
Many operators do not realize that the finest ventilation
system will break down when it is not maintained
properly. e duct system, the hood, and the filter
bank must be cleaned on a regular basis and kept free
of grease.
Adequate distances must be maintained from the flue
outlet of the fryer to the lower edge of the filter bank.
Filters should never be installed in the horizontal position.
ey should be installed at an angle of degrees, and
a drip tray should be located beneath the lowest edge of
the filter. NFPA Standard No. states that “A Minimum
distance of ” (mm) should be maintained between
the flue outlet and the lower edge of the grease filter.”
We recommend that the MINIMUM DISTANCE BE
” (mm) FROM THE FLUE OUTLET TO THE
BOTTOM EDGE OF THE FILTER WHEN THE
APPLIANCE CONSUMES MORE THAN ,
B.T.U. PER HOUR.
A strong exhaust fan will create a vacuum in the room,
for an exhaust system vent to work properly, replacement
air must enter the room in which the vent is located.
All gas burners and pilots need sufficient air to operate
and large objects should not be placed in front of this
fryer which would obstruct the air flow through the
front. A minimum of ” (mm) should be provided at
the front of the unit for servicing and proper operation.
Air for combustion enters the unit below the cabinet
at the base. Do not place anything around the base or
under the fryer.
Assembly Of Battery
All heavy duty batteries equipment is aligned and fitted at
the factory, from left to right and must be installed in this
order. ere is a diagram provided with every heavy duty
battery. All M/MST Fryers and M/MST Fryers may
be installed to battery with other GARLAND Series
Ranges, sharing common manifold connections.
A. All such units should be placed in their respective
battery position. Detach valve panels to prevent
damage, remove them from the area where the
battery is being assembled.
B. Level each unit (if a range, to the oven rack) by
adjusting the six inch (6”/152mm) legs, or where
legs are not used, adjust level with shims. Readjust
legs, if required.
C. Connect units together by mating the unions at
each end of the manifold. (Adjoining units must
have matching unions, unless the union parts are
of the same specifications, a leak proof connection
cannot be assured.) Hand tighten unions at this
point.
D. e units should be fastened at the rear by inserting
5/16” bolts through the holes provided at the rear
of the burner box sides. Install washer and nut and
hand tighten. Be sure of proper unit alignment in
the battery before final tightening of these bolts or
unions. Improper tightening will cause “fanning”
or “bowing” of batteried units.
e final tightening of the union should be
accomplished by using a suitable spanner wrench.
If such a wrench is not available, the GARLAND
union collar has special ridges, and a cold chisel can
be driven against these ridges to properly seat and
seal the union.

OPERATION
Using the Fryer for the First Time
Before lighting the pilot, fill the frypot with frying
compound. en light the pilot according to the
instructions inside the fryer compartment on the inner
panel. If you are using a cooking oil, you may now
turn the main burner on by turning the knob on the
automatic gas valve. If you use a hydrogenated (solid)
frying compound, it is wise to melt it in a stock pot on
the range before putting it in the fryer. If this is not done,
pack the frypot with the compound and turn the main
burner on for a few seconds and turn it off for a few. See
the lighting and shut-down instructions for “How to turn
on the main burner once the pilot is lighted.”
Intervals of about three seconds on and ten seconds off
are about right. Keep doing this until the shortening is
melted. If any smoke is seen during this process, you
are heating too fast and scorching the shortening, thus
cutting down its useful life and possible damaging the
frypot. Shortening level must cover the thermostat bulbs
when fryer is in operation.
After turning the main burner on, set the thermostat
at ° to check calibration of the thermostat. Let the
burner cycle at least four times and suspend a deep fat
fryer thermometer in the middle of the frypot about ”
deep. When the burner just comes on after the fourth
cycle, the reading on the thermostat should agree with
the thermostat setting. If not, calibrate the thermostat

To assure you of maximum protection and performance
your GARLAND Fryer is equipped with the best and
most reliable controls and safety devices available. e
operation thermostat will regulate frying compound
temperatures to close tolerances in a range between
° and °.
If for any reason the pilot should be extinguished the
combination safety valve will close off the gas flow to the
main burners and pilot burner. As an additional safety
feature this valve prevents gas from flowing to the main
burners when the pilot is being ignited.
On all units, due to the high rate of heating, and high
limit control device is provided as standard equipment.
If for any reason the frying compound temperature
exceed the maximum dial temperature the entire fryer
will turn OFF at °F. If this should occur, have
qualified service technician check the system. FOR NO
REASON SHOULD THIS HIGH LIMIT DEVICE
BE BY-PASSED!
