of air it can give off a dangerous carbon monoxide
gas. Carbon Monoxide is a clear odorless gas
that can cause suffocation.
WARNING
Carbon Monoxide gas can build up if you obstruct the
flue. Blocking the flue will also cause the unit to
overheat. DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion/ventilation or air opening around the machine.
Ensure that you meet the minimum clearances
specified in the installation instructions. Adequate
clearance around the unit is necessary for servicing
and proper burner operation.
WARNING
If the machine should shut down unexpectedly wait 5
minutes before attempting to restart it. This will allow
for any excess gas in the unit to dissipate.
WARNING
The power supply must be disconnected before
servicing or cleaning the unit.
WARNING
DO NOT supply the fryer with a gas that is not
identified on the data plate, located on the inside of
one of the doors of the machine. If you need to convert
the machine to another type of fuel, contact your
dealer or Authorized Blodgett Service Agency.
WARNING
To prevent tipping of the machine and splashing of
HOT oil your Pitco Frialator fryer is equipped with a
Gas Hose Quick Disconnect and restraining device.
This attaches the rear of the machine to the wall.
When the fryer is in its operating location, lock the
casters and reattach the restraining device to the rear
of the machine.
WARNING
Shortening, when it is at cooking temperatures, is very
HOT and DANGEROUS! Use extreme caution when
handling! Use the proper protective gear such as
insulated gloves, aprons, face shield and sleeves
when handling hot shortening. DO NOT attempt to
move any machine that has hot oil in it. Allow the oil to
cool to room temperature or drain the oil into a suitable
container before moving the fryer.
WARNING
There is an open flame inside the machine. The unit
may get hot enough to set nearby materials on fire.
Keep the area around the unit free from combustibles.
WARNING
Ensure that the machine can bet enough air to keep
the flame burning correctly. If the flame is starved

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION:
This equipment is manufactured for the use on a
particular type of gas and electrical voltage which
is specified on the rating plate located on the inside
of the door.
tional Fire Protection Association, Battery March
Park, Quincy, MA 02269
NOTE: It is recommended that the ventilation system be cleaned and maintained in accordance with
the procedures laid out in the appropriate Preventative Maintenance Card.
When your fryers arrive, look them over carefully
noting any damage on the freight bill. If concealed
damage is found after you have accepted the equipment, report it to the carrier immediately, as all
claims must be filled within 15 days of the receipt
of the shipment. Also, be sure to keep any packing
materials as these will be necessary to make a
claim.
Follow these installation instructions carefully. A
proper installation is important for the operation of
the fryers.
In the United States, all installations must conform
to all local and state codes and well as the National
Fuel Gas Code (ANSI 223.1 1992). In Canada, installations must be made in accordance to
Canadian Standard CAN 1-B 149.1 or .2
"Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances &
Equipment."
Electrically operated appliances must be
electrically grounded in accordance with local
codes; or in the absence of local codes, with the
National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1996;
in CANADA, with CSA C22-1 Canadian Electrical
Code Part 1.
Quick Disconnect Gas Connection:
Units equipped with casters must be installed with
connectors that comply with the standards for connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.691987, and Addenda Z21.69A-1989. (CAN/CGA -
6.16 and CAN/CGA - 6.9.) This connection should
include a quick disconnect device that complies with
the Standard for Quick Disconnect Devices for use
with Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41-1989. When installing
a quick disconnect you must also install a means of
limiting the movement of the fryer. This device will
prevent the gas line or quick disconnect from being
strained.
Fuel Supply Line Leak and Pressure Testing:
The fuel supply system must be tested before the
machine can be used. If the fuel line is going to be
tested at a pressure greater than (>) 1/2 PSI (3.45
kPa), make sure that the unit is disconnected from
the fuel line. If the fuel line is going to be tested at a
pressure equal to or less than (<) 1/2 PSI (3.45 kPa),
the machine can be connected to the supply but the
gas valve must be shut.
Clearances:
NOTE: Should you experience a power failure,
your fryers will shut off automatically. If this
happens, do not attempt to restart the fryers until
the power is restored.
Ventilation:
A proper ventilation system is also an important
part of the installation. For information on the
construction and installation of ventilating hoods,
please see "Standard for the Installation of
Equipment for the Removal of Smoke and Grease

Press the key on either side of a full vat or the
right key for the right side and the left key for the left
side of a split vat for the computer to turn the unit
ON. The burners will ignite, begin to heat and will
be controlled by the computer /controller.
NOTE: From a cold start the fryer will automatically
begin a melt cycle. This is a condition where the
computer will heat the shortening in small controlled
bursts of heat. Once the predetermined temperature
has been reached, the unit will exit the melt cycle
and go to normal operation. The melt cycle cannot be
overridden.
Make sure that the shortening is at the proper level
after the cooking temperature has been reached. It
may be necessary to add shortening to maintain the
proper level. There are two level lines on the side of
each tank (H) for hot level, (C) for cold level.
