2-3. SELECTING THE FRYER

LOCATION

The proper location of the fryer is very important for operation,
speed, and convenience. The location of the open fryer should
allow clearances for servicing and proper operation. Choose a
location which will provide 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. Keep in mind, the best
efficiency 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 .

To avoid fir e, install the open fryer with minimum clearance
from all combustible materials, 2 inches (5.08 cm) from the
side and 4 inches (10.16 cm) from the back. Minimum
clearance from all non-combustible materials, 0 inches
(0.00 cm) from the side and 0 inches (0.00 cm) from the
back. If installed properly, the open fryer is designed for
operation on non-combustible floors only

2-4. LEVELING THE FRYER

T o prevent sever e burns from splashing hot oil,
position and install fryer to prevent tipping or movement.
Restraining ties may be used for stabilization.

For proper operation, the open fryer should be level from
side-to-side and front to back. Using a level placed on the flat
areas around the vat collar, on the middle well, and then adjust the
casters until the unit is level.

2-2 609

Model EEG-141, 142, 143, 144

2-5. VENTILATION OF FR YER

2-6. GAS SUPPL Y

The fryer should be located with provision for venting into an
adequate exhaust hood or ventilation system. This is essential to
permit efficient removal of the steam exhaust and frying odors.
Special precaution must be taken 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 open 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 back draft.

The gas open fryer is factory available for either natural or propane
gas. Check the data plate inside the left front door of the cabinet to
determine the proper gas supply requirements. The minimum supply
for natural gas is 7 inches water column (1.7 kPa) (17.0 mbar), and
10 inches water column (2.49 kPa) (24.9 mbar) for propane.

Do not attempt to use any gas other than that specified on
on the data plate. Incorrect gas supply could cause a fire
or explosion resulting in severe injuries and/or propety
damage.

Please refer below for the recommended hookup of the fryer to
main gas line supply .

To avoid possible serious personal injury:

• Installation must conform with local, state, and national

codes, the American National Standard Z223.1/NFPA 54

-(the latest edition) National Fuel Gas Code, and the local

municipal building codes. In Canada, the Natural Gas and
Propane Installation Code is
Codes - Gas Burning Appliances and local codes. In Australia,
in accordance with Australian Gas Authority rules AG601­2000, section AS5601.

2-6. GAS SUPPL Y
(Continued)

• The fryer and its manual shutoff valve must be

disconnected from the gas supply piping system during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.45 kPa) (34.5 mbar).

• The fryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG
(3.45 kPa) (34.5mbar).

• A standard one inch (2.54 cm), black steel pipe and
malleable fittings should be used for gas service connec­tions for 3 & 4 well open fryers, and 3/4 inch (1.91 cm) for
2 wells.

• Do not use cast iron fittings.

• Although one inch (2.54 cm) size pipe is recommended

for 3 & 4 wells and 3/4 inch (1.91 cm) for 2 wells, piping
should be of adequate size and installed to provide a
supply of gas sufficient to meet the maximum demand
without undue loss of pressure between the meter and
the open fryer. The pressure loss in the piping system
should not exceed 0.3 in. water column (0.747 mbar).

Provisions should be made for moving the open fryer for clean­ing and servicing. This may be accomplished by:

1. Installing a manual gas shutoff valve and a disconnect or
union, or

2. Installing a heavy-duty design CSA certified connector. In
order to be able to service this appliance, which is provided with
casters, a connector complying with ANSI Z21.69-CAN 6.16 or
CAN 1-6.10m88 and a quick-disconnect device, complying with
ANSI Z21.41or CAN 1-6.9m70, must be installed. It must also
be installed with restraining means to guard against transmission
of strain to the connector as specified in the appliance
manufacturer’s instructions.

3. See the illustration on the following page for the proper
connection of flexible gas line and cable restraint.

The cable restraint limits the distance the open fryer
can be pulled from the wall. For cleaning and servicing
the unit, the cable must be unsnapped from the open
fryer and the flexible gas line disconnected. This allows
better access to all sides of the open fryer. The gas line
and cable restraint
cleaning or servicing is complete.

2-7. GAS LEAK TEST

Model EEG-141, 142, 143, 144

Prior to turning the gas supply on, be sure the gas valve
knob on the gas control valve is in the off position.

Upon initial installation, and after moving the unit, the piping and
fittings should be checked for gas leaks. A simple checking method
is to turn on the gas and brush all connections with a soap solution.
If bubbles occur, it indicates escaping gas. In this event, the piping
connection must be redone.

T o avoid fire or explosion, never use a lighted match
or open flame to test for gas leaks. Ignited gas could
result in severe personal injury and/or property dam­age.

2-8. GAS PRESSURE REGULA TOR

3-3. FILLING OR
ADDING OIL

Figure 1

Model EEG-141, 142, 143, 144

The oil level must always be above the burner tubes when
the fryer is heating and at the oil level indicators on the
rear of the vat. Failure to follow these instructions
could result in a fire and/or damage to the fryer.

Solid oil is not recommended. Solid oil could cause
clogging and pump failures.

1. It is recommended that a high quality frying oil be used in the

open fryer. Some low grade oils have a high moisture content
and causes foaming and boiling over.

Wear gloves to avoid severe burns when pouring hot oil
into vat. Oil and all metal parts that are in contact with
the oil are extremely hot, and take care to avoid
splashing.

Figure 2

2. Oil Capacities:

Full-size vats = 15 quarts/30 lbs (14.2 liters/13.6 kg)
Split-vats = 7.5 quarts/15 lbs (7.1 liters/6.8 kg).

All vats have 2 level indicator lines inscribed on the rear wall of
the vat, in which, the upper-most line shows the oil at the
proper level when heated. Figure 1.

3. Place basket support inside of vat and fill vat with cold oil to the

lower indicator. Figure 2.

Model EEG-141, 142, 143, 144

The filter drain pan must be as far back under fryer as it
will go, and the cover in place. Be sure the filter drain pan
is latched into place and the hole in the cover lines up with
the drain before opening the drain. Failure to follow these
instructions causes splashing of shortening and could
result in personal injury.

Moving the fryer or filter drain pan while containing hot
shortening is not recommended. Hot shortening can
splash out and severe burns could result.

Always wear chemical splash goggles or face shield and
protective rubber gloves when cleaning the frypot as the
cleaning solution is high in alkaline. Avoid splashing or
other contact of the solution with your eyes or skins.
Severe burns may result. Carefully read the instructions
on the cleaner. If the solution comes in contact with your
eyes rinse thoroughly with cool water and see a physician
immediately.
