INSTALLATION

Before installing the fryer, verify that the type of gas (natural or propane) agrees with the specifications on the fryer data plate which is located on the inside of the door panel. Also be sure the unit is built for the installation elevation.

UNCRATING

This fryer was carefully inspected before leaving the factory. The transportation company assumes full responsibility for safe delivery upon acceptance of the shipment.

Immediately after unpacking the fryer, check for possible shipping damage. If the fryer is found to be damaged, save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.

Do not use the door or its handle to lift or move the fryer.

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 non-combustible construction is 0" from the sides and 0" from the back of the fryer.

There must be at least 16" (41 cm) clearance between the fryer and any open top flame units. Adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation must be allowed.

The unit 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 at the fryer and avoid wall-type fans which create air cross currents within the room.

Avoid open windows next to the sides or back.
