INSTALLATION
1. INSTALLATION
1.1. CHECKING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
Your new Pitco appliance has been carefully packed into one crate. Every effort has been made to ensure that it is
delivered to you in perfect condition. As you unpack your new appliance, inspect each of the pieces for damage. If
something is damaged, DO NOT sign the bill of lading. Contact the shipper immediately; the shipper is only
responsible for 15 days after delivery. Check the packing list enclosed with your appliance to ensure that you have
received all the parts to the appliance. If you are missing any parts, contact the dealer from whom the appliance was
purchased. As you unpack the appliance and its accessories be careful to keep the weight of the appliance evenly
distributed. Refer to the table below to identify which accessories should be included with your appliance.
Locate your Pitco model number and serial number on the inner door of the appliance and the find the date
purchased. Write this information on the front cover of this manual for future reference.
If you have completed the above steps that are
applicable to the appliance you purchased, the
appliance is now ready to be installed. Although it
may be possible for you to install and set up your
new appliance, it is STRONGLY recommended that
you have this done by qualified professionals. A
qualified professional will ensure that the installation
is safe and meets local building and fire codes.

WARNING
DO NOT sit or stand on this appliance. The appliance’s front panel, tank,
splash back, tank cover, workshelf, drain board is not a step. Serious
injury could result from slipping, falling or contact with hot liquids.
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.
Unit
Combustible Construction
Inches (centimeters)
6.0" (15.24cm) 0.0" (0.0cm)
6.0" (15.24cm) 0.0" (0.0cm)
6.0" (15.24cm) 6.0" (15.24cm)
Non-Combustible Construction
Inches (centimeters)
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 minimum clearance requirements specified in this manual.
WARNING
DO NOT install this appliance next to a deep fat fryer. A splash over of water into the hot oil may
cause a flash fire.
1.3. PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
The plumbing installation should be done by a licensed plumber and must comply with local and national codes.
The instructions for appliances connected to the water mains by detachable hose sets shall state that new hose
sets will be used and that the old hose sets should not be reused (if applicable).
1.3.1. WATER INLET CONNECTIONS
If your appliance is equipped with a faucet or a water fill option connections to a potable water supply will be
required. If a single water connection is required it is recommended that the appliance is connected to hot water
supply. This will greatly decrease the time and energy required for the appliance to reach operating temperature.
Prior to installation, a water treatment specialist should inspect the water supply. Water hardness should contain
no more then 2.0 grains/gallon. The pH level should be between 6.5 and 8.0. These conditions can be obtained
with the use of a properly maintained water softener. The incoming water pressure should be between 20 psi (138
kPa) to 60 psi (414 kPa). For higher water pressures, a high-pressure regulator must be installed to inlet plumbing
to avoid damage caused by water hammer. The maximum allowable incoming water temperature is 180°F
(82°C). Have your water tested and record the measured values below.
1.3.2. DRAIN CONNECTIONS
Each tank has a drain that can be connected to a drainage system. Each tank also has an overflow line. The
overflow connection is after the drain valve to provide an unobstructed overflow path. The tank drain and
overflow line for each tank is connected together to form a common drain line.
When there are more than 2 appliances joined together the common drains can be connected together with a
manifold that has a 1-1/4” NPT outlet connection.

WARNING
When water is at a high temperature and high pressure, excessive splashing of hot water
may occur that could result in injury.

INSTALLATION
1.4. 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 gas supply. The legs provide the necessary height to meet sanitation requirements and assure
adequate air supply to the combustion system. Use the following procedure
Required tools: 7/16 “ (11 mm) wrench and socket and a large pair of water pump pliers.
1. Remove all loose accessories and carefully place the appliance on its back to avoid damage to the cabinet and
splash back. Protect the outside of the appliance with cardboard or a drop cloth when laying it down. Take care
not to pinch any electrical cords between the cabinet and the floor.
2. Attach each leg/caster with the hex head screws and nuts supplied. Each leg/caster requires four 1/4-20 hex
head bolts and kep-nuts. Insure that all screws are tight.
3. Mount the bolts from the inside of the appliance with the nut on the outside (bottom, see diagram below) of the
appliance. The kep-nuts have lock washers attached to them, therefore it is not necessary to use separate lock
washers.
4. When all four legs/casters are securely mounted, stand the unit upright, being careful not to put too much weight
on any one leg or caster. Adjust the height and level the appliance by adjusting the leveling devices (B) with
water pump pliers. Rotating the leveling device in a clockwise (CW) direction will reduce the height of the
appliance, counter clockwise rotation (CCW) will increase the height of the appliance. For casters, loosen 2 set
screws (A) before leveling, adjust the height, then re-tighten.
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.
WARNING
This appliance must be installed with the legs or casters provided by the manufacturer.
WARNING
DO NOT install legs or casters, or perform leveling procedure when
appliance is in operation or full of hot liquids. Serious injury could result.
