Adhere to the following important safety information to avoid personal injury and/or damage to the equipment or property.

DANGER

!

• Turn the unit OFF and disconnect from power source before cleaning or performing maintenance.

• DO NOT washdown the interior or exterior of the appliance with water from a spray hose.

• Failure to comply with DANGER notices will result serious injury, even death; equipment and/or property damage; and will

potentially void the factory warranty.

WARNING

!

• Prior to installation, consult a qualified electrician to ensure that all electrical requirements and codes have been met.

• The unit must be adequately and properly grounded. Improper grounding may result in electrical shock. Always refer to

local electrical code to ensure proper grounding of this or any other electrical equipment. Always consult with an
electrician or other qualified service technician to ensure that circuit breakers and wiring are of sufficient rating and gauge
to power this equipment. A Wiring Diagram has been provided with the unit as an aid for electricians and technicians. The
unit must be installed and electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, in
accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.

• Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance could in serious injury, even death; equipment and/or

property damage; and will potentially void the factory warranty.

• DO NOT use or store flammable liquids, or materials that produce flammable vapors, in the vicinity of this or any other

appliance!

• Failure to comply with WARNING notices could result in serious injury, even death; equipment and/or property damage;

and will potentially void the factory warranty.

CAUTION

!

• The WOG-20MP and WOG-20MP-VH must remain in an upright (vertical) position.

• Exercise care when removing the wooden crate framework, and the unit from the shipping pallet.

• DO NOT operate the appliance unless you fully understand the components and controls, and their intended function (see

Section 3).

• This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities,

or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given adequate instruction and/or supervision concerning its
use by a person responsible for their safety.

• Failure to comply with CAUTION notices may result in minor or moderate injury, equipment and/or property damage, and

CAUTION

!

• Children should be supervised, or otherwise restricted, to ensure they do not play with or around this appliance.

• After cooking and prior to sale, food products must be maintained at a temperature of 150°F (65.5°C) minimum, or in

accordance with governmental health regulations.

• Units are available from the factory wired for various voltages, phases and hertz. Check the rating label on the front, or rear, of

the unit to determine the proper power supply required.

• Ensure the unit is positioned in a secure, stable location. When in use always ensure that the caster brakes are locked.

• Due to the high temperature of the cooking oil during operation, it is extremely important that the user exercise caution

when working with the appliance to avoid personal injury.

• Before attempting to operate the unit, refer to Section 3 to familiarize yourself with the various control functions. Once

you have read and fully understand that Section, please follow the procedures in this Manual precisely, to prevent
equipment damage or malfunction.

• Allow the appliance to cool down a minimum of 15-20 minutes before cleaning or servicing.

• DO NOT bend the collection fins or break the ionizer wires of the Electronic Air Cleaner (EAC) cell. Doing so will prevent it

from working properly and may cause power to the heating element to be shutdown. (WOG-20MP-VH only)

• After cleaning the EAC cell, DO NOT attempt to dry it by installing it in the Fryer Hood and running the fan to force air dry

it, or by heating the Fryer to heat dry it. This could potentially damage the EAC power supply and control system, leading
to malfunction and voiding the warranty. The EAC filter must air dry at ambient room temperature, preferably overnight.
(WOG-20MP-VH only)

• The

• Failure to comply with CAUTION notices may result in minor or moderate injury, equipment and/or property damage, and

WOG-20MP and WOG-20MP-VH and its parts will become HOT! Temperatures inside the Cabinet may exceed 150°F

appliance:

IMPORTANT!

• Upon delivery, the palletized unit should have be thoroughly inspected. If damage is evident, the shipment should have

been refused and damages promptly reported to the freight company. It is generally the customer’s responsibility to

negotiate freight damage claims.

• As an aid for electricians and installers, an electrical wiring diagram is provided with the unit. Refer to the wiring diagram

during installation or while servicing.

• Comply with all appropriate governmental health regulations regarding cleaning and sanitation of foodservice equipment.

• Giles recommends the use of mild, bio-degradable, non-toxic degreasers, such as Clear Magic or Simple Green, for cleaning

parts of the Fryer and Hood where excessive grease film accumulation is present.

• Never attempt to clean and reuse the Charcoal Filter (WOG-20MP-VH only).

• The appliance and plenum nozzles have been factory installed and aligned in the proper operating position. DO NOT MOVE

OR ADJUST THESE NOZZLES (WOG-20MP-VH only).

• The sound level of the hood while operating is approximately 65 dB (WOG-20MP-VH only).

For some installations, it may be necessary to consult a HVAC specialist to confirm that proper room

•

air exchange is occurring and that the on-site air conditioning system is capable of handling
anticipated heat load.

• Exhaust ventilation is recommended for areas in which recirculating hoods are operated. Giles recommends 50 CFM per

linear foot of hood space. This amount could vary based on local codes and site-specific situations. (WOG-20MP-VH only)

2. Installation

The following section provides a summary of the procedures necessary for proper installation of the Model WOG-20MP
or WOG-20MP-VH. To prevent personal injury or equipment damage, please follow these steps accordingly.

2-01. Location

NOTE:

When operating, the decibel level of the hood on the WOG-20MP-VH Ventless Fryer is approximately 65 dB.

CAUTION

!

DO NOT ALTER, ADD ATTACHMENTS, OR OTHERWISE MODIFY THIS EQUIPMENT.

1. Keep the appliance and surrounding area free and clear from combustible materials. Maintain 3" (7.6cm)

clearance to the appliance.

2. Be sure the unit is electrically grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with

the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70.

3. Please provide adequate room for servicing and proper operation of this appliance. Also, provide adequate

ventilation in the operating area where necessary.

4. Always consult an electrician or other qualified individual prior to installation.

5. Be sure that the circuit intended to supply power to the unit complies with the appliance’s electrical

specification (voltage/amperage) as stated on the rating label.

6. Place unit in a stable position and ensure it cannot be unintentionally moved. Locking casters are supplied

on this appliance and must be placed in the locked position when operating.

7. Depending on local code, room size and other appliances in use, exhaust ventilation may be required when

operating the WOG-20MP-VH. This often can be accomplished by the installation of an exhaust fan in the
room in which the appliance is installed. To determine the requirements for your installation, supply the
HVAC dealer the following information.

a. The WOG-20MP-VH exhausts 267 to 382 CFM.

b. The average temperature of the air being exhausted from the Hood, after four (4) hours of continuous
frying, will be approximately 90°F (32°C).

8. This appliance is to be installed, used and maintained in accordance with the Standard for Ventilation

Control and Fire Protection of Commercial Cooking Operations, NFPA 96.

Adherence to the above steps will help ensure safe and proper installation of the appliance. If you have any questions
concerning the installation, contact a nearby Giles Manufacture’s Representative, or call Giles at 800.554.4537 for

NOTE FOR VH MODELS:

• A HVAC specialist may be required for some installations to confirm proper room air exchange and
the heat load capabilities of the on site air conditioning system.

• Exhaust ventilation is recommended for areas in which recirculating hoods are used. Giles recommends 50 CFM
per lineal foot of hood space.

•This amount could vary based on local codes and site specific installation requirements.
