INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

WARNING

ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE APPLICABLE PORTIONS

OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE ANSI/NFPA 70(LATEST EDITION) AND/OR OTHER LOCAL

CODES.

WARNING

DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND PLACE A TAG AT THE DISCONNECT SWITCH TO

INDICATE THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON THE CIRCUIT.

DO NOT install the fryer next to any open flame section of a broiler, range or any other appliance. The
fryer should be placed in an area which is accessible for proper operation and servicing. The area around the fryer
must be kept clear of combustible materials.

CLEARANCE COMBUSTIBLE NON-COMBUSTIBLE

Sides 6” 0”
Rear 6” 0”
Floor 6” 6”

Installation on non-combustible floor only shall be with factory supplied legs or casters.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

A terminal block is provided on the back of the appliance for connecting to the power supply. Follow the
electrical schematic diagram located on the rear panel of the appliance when making connections to the supply lines.

VENTILATION:

Proper ventilation is very important for the proper function of your fryer as well as to remove unwanted
vapors and products of combustion. To keep your warranty in force, a proper ventilation system must be employed.

LEVELING:

After setting in position, level the fryer front to back and left to right. If it is not leveled, the fryer may not
function properly.

SET UP:

1. Ensure power switch is in the “OFF” position and thermostat is “OFF” prior to filling the vessel.

2. Fill the frypot with oil to the bottom OIL LEVEL line located on the rear of the frypot. This will allow

for oil expansion as heat is applied. Do not fill with cold oil any higher than the bottom line; overflow
may occur as heat expands the oil.

3. All fryers must be hardwired using flexible conduit to the terminal block located on the rear of the

fryer. These fryers should be wired to NEC specifications. Hardwired units must include installation
of restraint devices.

4. Ensure that the POWER SWITCH is turned “ON”.

5. Ensure that the oil level is at the top OIL LEVEL line when the oil is at its cooking temperature. It

May be necessary to add oil or shortening to bring the level up to the proper mark, after it has reached
cooking temperature.
