Gas Connection
Your fryer 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 ANSI Z223.1 Latest Edition. In Canada, install the fryer in accordance with CAN/CGA-B149.1 or .2 and local codes. Gas line sizing requirements can be determined by your local gas company by referring to National Fuel Gas Code, Appendix C, Table C-4 (natural gas) and Table C-16 (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.
WARNING
NEVER supply the fryer with a gas that is not indicated on the data plate. Using the incorrect gas type will
cause improper operation. If you need to convert the fryer to another type of fuel, contact your dealer.
Fuel Types - Each fryer is equipped to work with one type of fuel. The type of fuel with which
the appliance is intended to operate is stamped on the data plate attached to the inside of the door.
NOTICE NEVER use an adaptor to make a smaller gas supply line fit the cooker connection. This may not allow proper gas flow for optimum burner operation, resulting in poor cooker perfor­mance.
Quick Disconnect Gas Connection
Gas fryers equipped with casters must be installed with connectors that comply with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z223.1 Latest Edition, and Addenda Z21.69A 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 Z223.1 Latest Edition. When installing a quick disconnect you must also install a means for limiting the movement of the fryer. This device will prevent the gas line or the quick disconnect from being strained. The restraining device should be attached to the cooker on the back panel.
Fuel Supply Line Leak and Pressure Testing
The fuel supply system must be tested before the fryer is used. If the fuel line is going to be tested at a pressure greater than (>)1/2 PSIG (3.45 kPa), make sure that the fryer is disconnected from the fuel line. If the fuel line is to be tested at a pressure equal to or less than (<) 1/2 PSIG (3.45 kPa), the fryer can be connected 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.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The electrical service used by the fryer must comply with local codes. If there are no local codes that apply, refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70 to install the service. In Canada refer to CSA Standard C22.1 and local codes. Wiring diagrams are provided inside the fryer control box. The power requirements for the fryer are shown below.
North America International Input Voltage 120 VAC, 60Hz 220 (or 240) VAC, 50Hz Current per fryer 0.5 Amps 0.5 Amps Filter System 7.0 Amps 4.0 Amps
The fryer must be grounded in accordance with local code; if there is not a local code, comply with NEC ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1990. It is advised that this power supply be plugged into a wall receptacle that is controlled by the ventilation
control. This will prevent the fryer from being operated without the ventilator on.

VENTILATION AND FIRE SAFETY SYSTEMS
Your new fryer must have proper ventilation to function safely and properly. Exhaust gas temperatures can reach as high as 1000°F. Therefore, it is very important to install a fire safety system. Your ventilation system should be designed to allow for easy cleaning. Frequent cleaning of the ventilation system and the fryer will reduce the chances of fire. Table 1-2 provides a list of reference documents that provide guidance on ventilation and fire safety systems. This table is not necessarily complete. Additional information can be obtained from CSA International, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, OH 44131.
Excessive ventilation causes drafts, which will interfere with the proper operation of the pilot and the burner. Leave at least 18 inches of open space between the fryer's flue vent opening and the intake of the exhaust hood.
CAUTION Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the fryer's flue opening. Down drafts will not allow the fryer to exhaust properly and will cause overheating which may cause permanent damage. Damage caused by down drafts will not be covered under equipment warranty. NEVER allow anything to obstruct the flow of combustibles or ventilation exiting from the fryer flue. DO NOT put anything on top of the flue area.
