2-3. SELECTING THE FRYER The proper location of the fryer is very important for operation,

LOCATION 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 warmer 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 finish out the
other side. Order assembly can be moved away with only a slight
loss of efficiency. To properly service the fryer, 24 inches (61.0 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 unit 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.

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

2-4. LEVELING THE FRYER For proper operation, the fryer must be level from side to side and

front to back. Using a level placed on the flat areas around the
frypot collar, adjust the leveling bolt or casters until the unit is level.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE LEVELING
INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SHORTENING
OVERFLOWING THE FRYPOT WHICH COULD
CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS, PERSONAL INJURY,
FIRE AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

2-5 703

Model OFG- 391

2-5. VENTILATION OF FRYER The fryer should 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.
Special precaution must be taken in designing an exhaust
canopy to avoid interference with the operation of the fryer.
Make certain the exhaust hood is designed high enough to
allow for proper opening of the fryer lid. 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.

2-6. GAS SUPPL Y The gas fryer is factory available for either natural or propane gas.

Check the data plate on the right side panel of the cabinet to deter­mine the proper gas supply requirements. The minimum supply for
natural gas is 7 inches water column, and 10 for propane.

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

2-7. GAS PIPING Please refer below for the recommended hookup of the

fryer to main gas line supply .

T o avoid possible serious personal injury:

• Installation must conform with local, state, and
national codes, and be in accordance with Cana­dian Gas Authority S tandard CSA B149-& 2,”
Installation Codes - Gas Burning Appliances” and
Australian Gas Authority Rule AG601-2000
Section AS5601.

• The fryer and its individual 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)
(34.47 mbar).

703 2-6

Model OFG- 391

2-7. GAS PIPING • The fryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping
(Continued) 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 KP A) (34.5 mbar).

• A standard 3/4 inch, black steel pipe and malleable
fittings should be used for gas service connections.

• Do not use cast iron fittings.

• Although 3/4 inch size pipe is recommended, 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 fryer . The pr essure loss in the piping system should
not exceed 0.3 inch water column.

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

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

2. Installing a heavy duty (min. 3/4 inch) design A.G ..A.
certified connector which complies with standard connec­tors for moveable gas appliances. ANSI Z21.69 or
CAN/CSA 6.16. Also, a quick disconnect coupling which
complies with the Standard for Quick Disconnect Devices for
use with Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 or CAN 1-6.9. Also,
adequate means must be provided to limit themovement of
the fryer without depending on the connector and any quick­disconnect device or it’s associated piping to limit the fryer
movement.

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

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

2-8. GAS LEAK TEST

Model OFG- 391

Prior to turning the gas supply on, be sure the gas valve
knob on the gas control valve is in the OFF position.
The word “OFF” is at the bottom of the knob when the
valve is closed.

After the piping and fittings have been installed, check for gas
leaks. A simple checking method is to turn on the gas and brush
all connections with a soap solution. If bubbles and occur, it
indicates escaping gas. In this event, the piping connection must
be redone.

T o avoid fir e 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.

2-9. GAS PRESSURE The gas pressure regulator on the gas control valve is

REGULATOR SETTING factory set as follows:

Natural: 3.5 inches water column (.87 kPa)
Propane: 10.0 inches water column (2.49 kPa)

The gas pressure regulator has been set by Henny Penny and
is not to be adjusted by the user .

MAKE SURE GAS PRESSURE IS SET COR­RECTL Y. F AILURE TO DO SO CAN RESULT IN
SHORTENING OVERFLOWING THE FR YPOT ,
WHICH COULD CAUSE SERIOUS BURNS,
PERSONAL INJUR Y , FIRE AND/OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE.

2-9 703

Model OFG- 391

2-10. ELECTRICAL The gas fryer requires 120 volt, single phase 60 Hertz, 10
REQUIREMENTS amp, 3 wire grounded (earthed) service, or 230 volt, single phase,

50 Hertz service. The 120 volt gas fryer is factory equipped with a
grounded (earthed) cord and plug for your protection against
shock, and should be plugged into a 3 prong grounded (earthed)
receptacle. Do not cut or remove grounding (earthing) prong. A
wiring diagram is located behind the right side panel, and can be
accessed by removing the side panel. The 230 volt plug must
conform to all local, state, and national codes.

T o avoid electrical shock, do not disconnect the ground
(earth) plug. This fryer must be adequately and
safely grounded (earthed). Refer to local electrical
codes for correct grounding (earthing) procedures or in
absence of local codes, with The National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFP A No. 70-(the curr ent edition). In
Canada, all electrical connections are to be made in
accordance with CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code
Part 1, and/or local codes.

T o avoid electrical shock, this appliance must be
equipped with an external circuit breaker which will
disconnect all ungrounded (unearthed) conductors. The
main power switch on this appliance does not disconnect
all line conductors.
