GRM SERIES GAS FRYERS
Minimum clearance from noncombustible construction:
0” from the sides of the fryer 0” from the back of the fryer
Between the fryer and any open-top flame units:
16” (41 cm)
Allow space for servicing and operation.
Location
Install fryer in an area with sufficient air supply for gas combustion at fryer burners.
Do not obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Provide adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber.
Do not permit fans to blow directly onto fryer.
Avoid wall-type fans, which create cross-currents within a room. Avoid open windows next to sides or back.
CODES AND STANDARDS
The fryer must be installed in accordance with:
In the United States:
State and local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with:
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI-Z223.1/NFPA #54 (latest edition). Copies may be obtained from The American Gas Association Accredited Standards
Committee Z223, @ 400 N. Capital St. NW, Washington, DC 20001 or the Secretary Standards Council, NFPA, 1 Batterymarch Park Quincy, MA 021697471.
NFPA Standard #96 Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment, latest edition, available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park,
Quincy, MA.
In the commonwealth of Massachusetts all gas appliances vented through a ventilation hood or exhaust system with a damper or with a power means of exhaust shall comply with 248 CMR.
In Canada:

CAN/CSA-B149.1 Natural Gas Installation (latest edition). |

GRM SERIES GAS FRYERS
CAN/CSA-B149.2 Propane Installation Code (latest edition), available from the
Canadian Gas Association 178 Rexdale Blvd., Etobicoke, Ontario Canada
M9W 1R3.
ASSEMBLY
The fryer must be restrained to prevent tipping and the splashing of hot liquid. The means of restraint may be the manner of installation, such as connection to a battery of appliances, installing the fryer in an alcove, or by separate means such as adequate ties.
FLUE CONNECTION
Make the flue connection as follows:
Comply with Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment, ANSI-NFPA Standard #96 (latest edition), available from the National Fire Protection
Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
Locate the fryer under a hood with adequate connection to an exhaust duct. The hood must extend 6” (15 cm) beyond fryer on both sides.
Clearance above the fryer should be adequate for combustion byproducts to be removed efficiently.
An 18” (46 cm) minimum clearance should be maintained between the flue vent and the filters of the hood venting system.
Never make flue connections directly to the fryer.
Do not obstruct the flow of the gases from the appliance. Proper air balance should be maintained in the room.
GAS CONNECTION
All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the action of propane gases.
The gas inlet is located on the lower rear of the fryer. Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the fryer.
The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of ½” (12.7 mm) iron pipe for single units and 1-1/4” (31.75 mm) for batteries. If using the optional quick-disconnect flex hose, ¾” (19 mm) iron pipe for single units and 1-1/4” (31.75 cm) iron pipe for batteries.
Make sure the pipes are clean and free of obstructions, dirt, and piping compound. A battery requires one or two connections of appropriate size for the gas requirement.

GRM SERIES GAS FRYERS
Prior to lighting, check all joints in the gas supply line for leaks. Use soap and water solution. Do not use an open flame.
After piping has been checked for leaks, fully purge gas pipes to remove air.
GAS PRESSURES (ALL MODELS):
The gas pressure should be set at 4” W.C. (Water Column) (0.8 kPa) for natural gas and 10” W.C. (2.75 kPa) for propane gas. If incoming pressure exceeds ½ PSI (3.45 kPa), an additional pressure regulator must be installed.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM:
When test pressures exceed ½ PSI (3.45 kPa), the fryer and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system.
When test pressures are ½ PSI (3.45 kPa) or less, the fryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual shutoff valve.
Fryers with Casters:
Separate instructions for installing casters are included with the casters:
The installation shall be made with a connector that complies with the
Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or
Connectors for Moveable Gas Appliances, CAN/CGA-6.16, and a quickdisconnect device that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect
Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, ANSI z21.41 or Quick-Disconnect Devices for
Use with Gas Fuel, CANI-6.9.
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 quick disconnect from being strained. The restraining device should be attached to the cutout on the back panel. See illustration for location.
