1.3 ASSEMBLY AND LEVEUNG

When you receive your fryer it is completely assembled with the possible ex~ptioD of the heat
deflector.

You will find a removable label at the rear top edge of the unit. This label has instructions for
positioning and installation of the heat deflector. Refer to the label and the instructions below to

install the deflector.

1-2

a. Remove the two self-drilling saews from the top, back area of the cooker.

b. Position the heat deflector so that the angled portion of the deflector is facing toward the

front of the fryer. Secure the heat deflector to the back of the unit using the sheet metal
saews previously removed.

~:=I

DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustioD/ventilation or air openings around

the fryer. Adequate cl~ around the fryer is necessary for servicing and
proper burner operation. Ensure that you meet the minimum clearances
specified in the installation instructions.

When properly installed the angled section of the heat deflector will extend over the flue

Co

opening to redirect the heal It SHOUlD NOT rover the flue opening. Nothing should
block the flue opening as this will cause the fryer to overheat and produce dangerous

gases.

1.3.2. Leveling

Using an appropriate wrench and level ensure that the unit is level.

a. Place the level across the front of the tank and rotate the adjustment on the front legs to

level the unit.

b. Perform step a to level the unit front to back by placing the level along the side of the tank.

1.4 INsrAL1.ATION

that you have it done by qualified professionals. The professionals that install your new fryer will
know the local building codes and ensure that your installation is safe.

~==I

The fryer must be properly restrained to prevent movement or tipping. This
restraint must prevent the fryer from movements that would splash hot liquids
on personnel. This restraint may be any means (alcove installation, adequate
ties, or battery installation).
