LOCATION
The equipment area must be kept free and clear of combustible substances. Minimum clearance from combustible construction is 6" (15 cm) from the sides and 6" (15 cm) from the back of the fryer. Minimum clearance from noncombustible construction is 0" from the sides and 0" from the back.
At least 16" (41 cm) clearance must be between the fryer and any open-top flame units. Adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation must be allowed. The fryer may be installed on combustible floors.
Install the fryer in an area with sufficient air supply for combustion of the gas at the fryer burners. Provide adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber. Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air. Do not permit fans to blow directly on the fryer. Avoid wall-type fans which create cross-currents within a room. Avoid open windows next to the sides or back.

INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS
Hobart fryers must be installed in accordance with:
In the United States of America:
1.State and local codes.
2.National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI-Z223.1 (latest edition). Copies may be obtained from The American Gas Association, Inc., 1515 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22209.
3.National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA-70 (latest edition). Copies may be obtained from The National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
In Canada:
1.Local codes.
2.CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.
3.CSA C22.2 Canadian Electrical Code.
The above are available from the Canadian Standard Association, 5060 Spectrum Way, Suite 100, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada L4W 5N6.
ASSEMBLY
When installed, the fryer must be restrained to prevent tipping to avoid the splashing of hot liquid. The 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.
Fryers Mounted on Legs (Non-Batteried Fryers)
Fryers serviced from the rear must have a minimum clearance of 18" (46 cm) from the wall when mounted on legs.
1.Position fryer in an open space near the final installation area.
2.Tilt fryer on its side. Be careful not to scratch the finish.
3.Thread legs into mounting holes provided on bottom of fryer, then tighten.
4.Carefully raise fryer to its normal position.
Fryers Mounted on Casters
Fryers mounted on casters must use a flexible connector (not supplied by Hobart) that complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 • CSA 6.16 and a quickdisconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI-Z21.41 • CSA 6.9. In addition, adequate means must be provided to limit movement of the appliance without depending on the connector and the quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit appliance movement. Attach the restraining device at the rear of the fryer as shown in Fig. 3.
If disconnection of the restraint is necessary, turn off the gas supply before disconnection. Reconnect this restraint prior to turning the gas supply on and returning the fryer to its installation position.

GAS CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the reaction of propane gases.
The gas inlet is located on the lower right rear of the fryer. Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the fryer.
The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of 1/2" iron pipe for single units and 1 1/4" for batteries. If using the optional quick-disconnect flex hose: 3/4" iron pipe for single units and 1 1/4" iron pipe for batteries.
Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt and piping compound. A battery requires one or two connections of appropriate size and type for the gas requirement.
WARNING: PRIOR TO LIGHTING, CHECK ALL JOINTS IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE FOR LEAKS. USE SOAP AND WATER SOLUTION. DO NOT USE AN OPEN FLAME.
After piping has been checked for leaks, fully purge gas pipes to remove air.
GAS PRESSURES AND ORIFICES
The gas pressure should be set at 4" W.C. (Water Column) (1 kPa) pressure for natural gas and 10" W.C. (2.46 kPa) pressure for propane gas. If incoming pressure exceeds 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa), an additional pressure regulator must be installed.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM
When test pressures exceed 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa), the fryer and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When test pressures are 1/2 psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the fryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual shutoff valve.
LEVELING FRYER
1.Place a spirit level on top of the fryer after gas connections have been made.
2.Adjust legs or casters to ensure that the fryer is level front-to-back and side-to side in the final installed position.
–6 –
FLUE CONNECTIONS
The fryer must be located under a hood with adequate connection to an exhaust duct. The hood must extend 6" (15 cm) beyond fryer sides.
Adequate ventilation must be provided and comply with Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment, ANSI-NFPA Standard #96 (latest edition), available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
Clearance above the fryer should be adequate for combustion by-products to be removed efficiently. An 18" (46 cm) minimum clearance should be maintained between the flue vent and the filters of the hood venting system. Never make flue connections directly to the fryer.
Do not obstruct the flow of the flue gases from the appliance. Proper air balance should be maintained in the room.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR OTHER LOCAL CODES.
WARNING: APPLIANCES EQUIPPED WITH ELECTRICAL SUPPLY CORD(S) ARE PROVIDED WITH A THREE-PRONG GROUNDING PLUG, WHICH MUST BE CONNECTED TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED RECEPTACLE. IF THE RECEPTACLE IS NOT THE PROPER GROUNDING TYPE, CONTACT AN ELECTRICIAN. DO NOT REMOVE THE GROUNDING PRONG FROM THE PLUG.
Fryers are equipped with a 120 V, 60 Hz, 1-phase cord and plug.
Do not connect fryer to electrical supply until after gas connections have been made.

OPERATION
WARNING: HOT OIL AND PARTS CAN CAUSE BURNS. USE CARE WHEN OPERATING, CLEANING AND SERVICING THE FRYER.
WARNING: SPILLING HOT FRYING COMPOUND CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS. DO NOT MOVE FRYER WITHOUT DRAINING ALL FRYING COMPOUND FROM THE TANK.
BEFORE FIRST USE
•Clean the protective metal oils from all surface parts and the tank interior using a noncorrosive, grease-dissolving commercial cleaner. Follow the cleaner manufacturer's directions.
•Rinse thoroughly and drain (open the front door to access the drain valve).
NOTE: On fryers equipped with Filter-In-A-Drawer, do not drain cleaning solution or water into the pump or filter system. See Filter-In-A-Drawer Instruction Manual for information on cleaning.

•Clean all fryer accessories.
•Rinse all accessories thoroughly after cleaning and wipe dry.
FILLING FRY TANK WITH SHORTENING
Liquid shortening may be used in all HGF, HGD or HGC Series Fryers. Solid shortening can only be used in fryers equipped with a melt cycle. Melting solid shortening without using a melt cycle will damage the fry tank and scorch the shortening. See Melt Options in this manual under your particular model for more information. Make sure the gas valve is off when draining or filling.
1.Fill the fryer tank.
2.Shortening level should be between the MIN and MAX lines in fry tank (Fig. 4). Shortening will expand when heated; do not fill the fry tank past the MAX line.
