GAS CONNE CTION

Your gas appliance will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to provide the correct gas pressure. The gas line must be installed to meet the local building codes or North America National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 Latest Edition. In Canada, install the appliance in accordance with CAN/CGA-B149.1 or .2 and local codes. In Australia, install the appliance in accordance with AS/NZS 5601 Latest Edition. Gas line sizing requirements can be determined by your local gas company or, in North America, by referring to the National Fuel Gas Code, Appendix C, Table C-4 (for natural gas) and Table C16 (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) for propane to all appliances connected to the supply line, operating simultaneously at full demand.

 THE PRESSURE AT THE GAS CONTROL VALVE SHALL NOT EXCEED ½ PSI (13.84 “WC, 34.5 mbar,

3.45 kPa).

The gas supply connection to this appliance is located in the rear of the appliance approximately 10-1/2”

(26.7 cm) from the floor of the appliance when legs are used.

Each appliance is equipped to operate on one certain fuel type. The type of fuel with which the

appliance is intended to operate is printed on the data plate, which is attached to the inside of the door.

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 seriou s injury or death. If you need to convert the appliance to another type of fuel, contact the

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.

In North America, gas appliances equipped with casters must be installed with connectors that comply with the Standard for Connectors 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 Appliances ANSI Z21.41.CSA 6.9 Latest Edition. In Australia, an appliance equipped with casters and a flexible gas line must be connected to the gas supply with a quick disconnect device that complies with AS 4627 Latest Edit ion and a restraining cable. The restraining cable must not exceed 80% of the length of the flexible gas line. The restraining device should be attached to the appliance at the back panel.

For Australia, the appliance must be installed in accordance with AS/NZS 5601 Latest Edition, local authority and any other relevant statutory regulations. Flexible hose (if used) must comply with AS/NZS 1869 Class B or D, be of appropriate internal diameter, be kept as short as possible (not exceed 1.2 meters), must not be kinked and not be in contact with a hot surface. A chain must be fitted to restrict the appliance movement to no more than 80% of the hose length.

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, 34.5 mbar), ensure 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, 34.5 mbar), the

appliance can be connected during the test, but the unit’s gas control valve must be turned OFF. Test all gas line connections for leaks with a solution of soap and water when pressure applied.

The installation of this appliance MUST conform to local codes. In the absence of local codes in North America, the installation must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 Latest Edition or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1 Latest Edition as applicable. In Australia, the appliance must be installed in compliance with AS/NZS 5601 Latest Edition

Your new appliance must have proper ventilation to function safely and properly. Exhaust gas temperatures can reach as high as 1100 °F (593 °C). Therefore, it is very important to install a fire safety system. Your ventilation system should be designed to allow for easy cleaning. Frequent cleaning and proper maintenance of the ventilation system and the appliance will reduce the chances of fire. Ventilation and fire safety systems must comply to local and national codes for US and Canada. Refer to ANSI 83.11 for a list of reference documents that will provide guidance on ventilation and fire safety systems. For installations in U.S. and Canada, additional information can be obtained from CSA International, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, OH, 44131 or visit their website at www.csa-international.org system must comply with AS/NZS 5601.0.

It is essential that the appliance be operated only when adequate ventilation is provided. Your ventilation hood should be properly maintained. A qualified installation professional should ensure that the hood is operating properly in conjunction with the appliance. Inadequate ventilation may not properl y evacuate all appliance emissions. Excessive or unbalanced ventilation may cause drafts, which could interfere with proper operation of the pilot and burners. Leave at least 18 inches (47 cm) of open space between the flue of the appliance and the intake of the exhaust hood.

. In Australia, the ven ti lation

Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the appliance’s flue opening. A down draft will not allow the appliance to exhaust properly and will cause overheating, which may cause permanent damage. Damage caused by down drafts will not be covered by the warranty. NEVER allow anything to obstruct the flow of combustibles or ventilation exiting the appliance. NEVER place anything on top of the flue area, or block the flue in any way. Never place a grease condensing drip pan over the flue opening.

NEVER connect the ventilation blower or hood directly to the flue of this appliance. The resulting increased flow of air through the combustion system will cause improper operation, poor temperature recovery, poor ignition and could extinguish the pilot.

Replacing or adding appliances under a pre-existing fire safety system may require modifications to the system. ALWAYS contact a professional who is qualified in installing, designing and main taining your fire safety system to assure that any appliance located under the fire safety system are

Keep the oil temperature in the fryer to a maximum of 190°C (374°F). Higher temperatures will cause rapid breakdown of the oil and give you no faster cooking. At 205°C (401°F) to 210°C (410°F) the life of the oil is only one third of its life at 190°C (374°F). In addition, increased decomposition causes the oil to smoke badly even if the temperature is lowered to 190°C (374°F) again. High temperatures give you no advantage, cost

Mantenere la temperatura dell’olio nella friggitrice fino a un massimo di 190°C. Temperature maggiori causano un rapido degrado dell’olio, senza tuttavia eseguire una cottura più rapida. Da 205°C a 210°C la durata dell’olio è inferiore di un terzo rispetto a quella a 190°C.
