1.2. INSTALLATION CLEARANCES

The clearances shown below are for combustible and non-combustible installations and will allow for safe and proper operation of your appliance.

Back Sides Floor

6.0" (15.24cm) 0.0" (0.0cm)

6.0" (15.24cm) 6.0" (15.24cm)

In addition to the above clearances there must also be at least 16 inches (40.64cm) of aisle space in front of the unit.

WARNING DO NOT obstruct the flow of ventilation, or air openings around the appliance. Adequate clearance around the appliance is necessary for servicing and proper component ventilation. Ensure that you meet the

DO NOT install this appliance next to a water cooker. A splash over of water into the hot oil may cause a flash fire.

WARNING

minimum clearance requirements specified in this manual.

CAUTION To prevent equipment damage and/or personal injury, do not tilt the appliance onto any two of its casters or legs, or pull the appliance by the splash back.

1.3. LEG/CASTER INSTALLATION AND LEVELING

When you receive your appliance it is completely assembled with the possible exception of the legs (or casters). This appliance must be installed with legs or casters; it cannot be curb mounted. Curb mounting will seriously inhibit this appliance’s ability to effect proper component ventilation. The legs/casters must be installed before connecting the appliance to the power supply. The legs/casters provide the necessary height to meet sanitation requirements and assure adequate air supply to the combustion system. Use the following procedure.

WARNING

This appliance must be installed with the legs or casters provided by the manufacturer.

Required tools: 7/16 “ wrench and socket and a large pair of water pump pliers.

1. Lay the appliance on its back, being careful not to damage the splash back by pulling on it. Protect the outside of the appliance with cardboard or a drop cloth when laying it down.

2. Attach each leg/caster with the hex head screws and nuts supplied. Each leg/caster requires four ¼-20 x 5/8” hex head screws and nuts. Insure that all screws are tight.

3. Mount the screws from the inside of the appliance with the nut on the outside (bottom) of the appliance. The nuts have lock washers attached to them, therefore it is not necessary to use separate lock washers.

DO NOT install legs or casters, or perform leveling procedure when appliance is in operation or full of hot liquids. Serious injury could result.

WARNING

4. When all four legs/casters are securely mounted, stand the unit up, being careful not to put too much weight on any one leg. Adjust the height and level the appliance by adjusting the leveling devices (B) with water pump pliers. On casters, loosen 2 screws (A) before leveling, make your height adjustments, then retighten.

L20-332, rev. 1 (05/11) 3

INSTALLATION

1.4. GAS CONNECTION

Your appliance will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to provide the correct gas flow. The gas line must be installed to meet the local building codes or National Fuel Gas Code ANS Z223.1 and NFPA 54 (latest editions). In Canada, install the appliance in accordance with CSA B149.1 or .2 and local codes. Gas line sizing requirements can be determined by a qualified installation professional, your local gas company or by referring to the National Gas Fuel Code, Appendix C, Table C-4 (for natural gas) and Table C-16 (for propane). The gas line needs to be large enough to supply the necessary amount of fuel to all appliances without losing pressure to any appliance. A properly sized and installed gas line will deliver a supply pressure between 7.0” W.C. (17.4mbars, 1.74kPa) and 10.0”W.C. (24.9mbars, 2.49kPa) natural gas or between 11.0”W.C. (27.4mbars, 2.74kPa) and 13.0” W.C. (32.4mbars, 3.25kPa) propane to all appliances connected to the supply line, operating simultaneously at full demand. The pressure at the gas valve shall not exceed ½ PSI.

Each appliance is equipped to operate on one certain fuel type. The type of fuel with which the appliance is intended to operate is stamped on the data plate, which is attached to the inside of the door.

WARNING NEVER supply the appliance with a gas other than the one that is indicated on the data plate. Using the incorrect gas type will cause improper operation and could result in serious injury or death. If you need to convert the appliance to another type of fuel, contact the dealer

ou purchased it from.

NOTICE NEVER use an adapter to make a smaller gas supply line fit the appliance connection. This may not allow proper gas flow for optimum burner operation, resulting in poor performance and improper operation.

1.4.1. QUICK DISCONNECT CONNECTION Gas appliances equipped with casters must be installed with connectors that comply with the Standard for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 • CSA 6.16 latest edition. 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 • CSA 6.9 latest edition. When installing a quick disconnect you must also install adequate means for limiting the movement of the appliance without depending on the connector and quick-disconnect device or it’s associated piping to limit the movement of the appliance. The restraining device should be attached to the appliance on the back panel.

1.4.2. FUEL SUPPLY LINE LEAK AND PRESSURE TESTING The fuel supply system must be tested before the appliance is used. If the fuel line is going to be tested at a pressure greater than ½ PISG (3.45 kPa), insure that that appliance is disconnected from the fuel line. If the fuel line is to be tested at a pressure equal to or less than ½ PSIG (3.45 kPa), the appliance can be connected during the test, but the unit’s gas valve must be shut. Test all gas line connections for leaks with a solution of soap and water when pressure is applied.
