2-3. SELECTING THE
FRYER LOCATION
The proper location of the fryer is very important for operation,
speed, and convenience. Choose a location which provides easy
loading and unloading without interfering with the final assembly of
food orders. Operators have found that frying from raw to finish, and
holding the product in warmers, provides fast continuous service.
Landing or dumping tables should be provided next to, at least, one
side of the fryer. Keep in mind the best ef ficiency will be obtained by
a straight line operation, i.e., raw in one side and finished out the other
side. Order assembly can be moved away with only a slight loss of
efficiency . T o properly service the fryer , 24 inches (60.96 cm) of
clearance is needed on all sides of the fryer. Access for servicing can
be attained by removing a side panel. Also, at least 6 inches (15.24
cm) around the base of the gas units is needed for proper air supply
to the combustion chamber.
To avoid a fire, install the fryer with minimum clearance
from all combustible and noncombustible materials, 6 inches
(15.24 cm) from side and 6 inches (15.24 cm) from back. If
installed properly, the gas fryer is designed for operation on
combustible floors and adjacent to combustible walls.
To avoid fire and ruined supplies, the area under the fryer
should not be used to store supplies.

2-4. LEVELING THE FRYER
2-5. VENTILATION OF
FRYER
For proper operation, the fryer should be level from side to side
and front to back. Place a level on the flat areas around the frypot
collar, then adjust the leveling bolts or casters until the unit is level.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE LEVELING INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESUL T IN SHOR TENING OVERFLOW ING THE FR YPOT WHICH COULD CAUSE SERIOUS
BURNS, PERSONAL INJUR Y , FIRE, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
The fryer must be located with provision for venting into adequate
exhaust hood or ventilation system. This is essential to permit efficient
removal of the flue gases and frying odors. T ake special precautions
in designing an exhaust canopy to avoid interference with the operation of the fryer. W e recommend you consult a local ventilation or
heating company to help in designing an adequate system.
V entilation must conform to local, state, and national codes.
Consult your local fire department or building authorities.
When installing the gas fryer do not attach an extension to
the gas flue exhaust stack. This may impair proper operation of the burner, causing malfunctions and possible negative backdraft.
