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. Ensure the fryer is configured
for the proper elevation.
UNPACKING
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 damaged,
save the packaging material and contact the carrier within 15 days of delivery.
Do not use the door or its handle to lift the fryer.
Remove tiedown straps from the burners (Fig. 2).
REMOVE
PL-41712-1

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 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 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
The fryer 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.
In Canada:
1. Local codes.
2. CAN/CGA-B149.1 Natural Gas Installation Code (latest edition).
3. CAN/CGA-B149.2 Propane Installation Code (latest edition), available from the Canadian Gas
Association, 178 Rexdale Blvd., Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada M9W 1R3.

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
Separate instructions for installing casters to the fryer are included with the casters.
• The fryer must be installed with a connector (not supplied by Hobart) complying with either
ANSI-Z21.69 (latest edition) or CAN/CGA 6.16 (latest edition), and a quick-disconnect device
complying with either ANSI-Z21.41 (latest edition) or CAN1-6.9 (latest edition).
• The fryer must be installed with restraining means to guard against transmission of strain to the
connector, as specified in the manufacturer's instructions (Fig. 3).
• The fryer must be installed with the casters provided.
• Turn the gas supply off before disconnecting the restraint.

GAS CONNECTIONS
CAUTION: ALL GAS SUPPLY CONNECTIONS AND ANY PIPE JOINT COMPOUND MUST BE
RESISTANT TO THE ACTION 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.
1
The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of
/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, 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) (1kPa) pressure for natural gas and 10"
1
W.C. (2.46 kPa) pressure for propane gas. If incoming pressure exceeds
/2 psig (3.45 kPa), an
additional pressure regulator must be installed.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM
1
When test pressures exceed
/2 psig (3.45 kPa), the fryer and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
1
When test pressures are
/2 psig (3.45 kPa) or less, the fryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual shutoff valve.
