INST ALLATION
INSTALLATION
NOTICE
Installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the Propane
Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2, as applicable.
NOTICE
These installation procedures must be followed by qualified personnel or warranty will be void.
Local codes regarding installation vary greatly from one area to another. The National Fire Protection
Association, Inc. states in its NFPA 96 latest edition that local codes are the “authority having
jurisdiction” when it comes to installation requirements for equipment.
Step 1: Unpack
IMMEDIATELY INSPECT FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE
All containers should be examined for damage before and during unloading. The freight carrier has
assumed responsibility for safe transit and delivery. If damaged equipment is received, either
apparent or concealed, a claim must be made with the delivering carrier.
Apparent damage or loss must be noted on the freight bill at the time of delivery. The freight bill must
then be signed by the carrier representative (Driver). If the bill is not signed, the carrier may refuse
the claim. The carrier can supply the necessary forms.
A request for inspection must be made to the carrier within 15 days if there is concealed damage or
loss that is not apparent until after the equipment is uncrated. The carrier should arrange an
inspection. Be certain to hold all contents plus all packing material.
1. Uncrate carefully. Report any hidden damage to the freight carrier IMMEDIATELY.
2. Do not remove any tags or labels until unit is installed and working properly.

INST ALLATION
Step 2: Install the Legs (or Optional Casters) and Restraints
A set of legs is packed with the fryer. Casters are optional, purchased separately. Mounting fasteners are
pre-mounted on the base plates.
1. Raise fryer sufficiently to allow legs or casters to be screwed into the base plate. For safety, “shore up”
and support the fryer with an adequate blocking arrangement strong enough to support the load.
2. Screw the four legs or casters to the plate on the bottom of the fryer. When casters have been ordered,
the casters having a locking-brake should be attached under the front of the fryer.
3. Lower the fryer gently. Never drop or allow the fryer to fall.
4. Use a level to make sure that the fryer is level. Each caster, or the tubular-end of each leg, can be
screwed in or out to lower or raise each corner of the fryer.
5. Attach restraints as required by local codes.
NOTICE
Unit must be level to assure maximum performance. Improper leveling may void warranty.
NOTICE
When this appliance is installed with casters, it must be installed with the casters supplied, a
connector complying with either ANSI Z21.69 CSA 6.16 and a quick-disconnect device complying
with ANSI Z21.41 CSA 6.9. It must also be installed with restraining means to guard against
transmission of strain to the connector, as specified in the appliance manufacturer instructions.
! WARNING
If disconnection of the restraint is necessary to move the appliance for cleaning, etc., reconnect it
when the appliance is moved to its original installed position.
! WARNING
When this appliance is installed with casters, it must be installed with the casters supplied, a
connector complying with either ANSI Z21.69 or CAN/CGA-6.16 and a quick disconnect device

guard against transmission of strain to the connector, as specified in the appliance manufacturer's
instructions.

All fryers must be restrained to prevent tipping in order to avoid the splashing of hot liquid. The means
of restraint may be the manner of installation.
