Gas Pressure Fryer Installation
Installation
Inspection for Shipping Damage
It is the owners’ responsibility to file all freight claims with the delivering truck line. Inspect all cartons and crates
for damage as soon as they arrive. If damage to cartons or crates is found, or if a shortage is found, note this on
the bill of lading (all copies) prior to signing.
If damage is found when the equipment is opened, immediately call the delivering truck line and follow up the call
with a written report indicating concealed damage to your shipment. Ask for an immediate inspection of your
concealed damage item. Packaging material MUST be retained to show the inspector from the truck line.
Preparation
There are several things the installer must know before installing the fryer. These are listed below:
 The fryer installation must conform with city or county standards for gas appliances and gas piping. If your
area does not have local codes, consult the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, or the
Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1. In Europe, city and country codes are enforced.
Do not attempt to test the gas pressure of your fryer. Pressure testing should be done
only by an authorized Service Agent.
 During any pressure testing of the gas supply system, the fryer must be protected. The fryer and its
individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa). The fryer must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the
gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
 The fryer must be electrically grounded to conform with the local code of your city or county. If your area
does not have local codes, consult the latest version of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, or
the Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2. In EUROPE, city and country codes are enforced.
 A schematic diagram of the unit is glued to the back of either the left or right side panel.
 The Authorized Service Agent that installs your fryer must connect the cord set at the rear of the fryer to
an electrical source with a voltage matching that stamped on the name and rating tag. Refer to the wiring
diagrams in this manual.
 Make sure a connector is used that complies with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas
Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 • CSA 6.16.
 Make sure a quick-disconnect device is used that complies with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect
Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41 • CSA 6.9.
 In Europe, the installer must supply the gas supply connector.
 Make sure a restraining device is used that complies with the Standard for Commercial Gas Ranges,
ANSI Z83.11/CGA 1.8 (such as BKI part number FT0279) to guard against transmission of strain to the
connector.
 Retain the manual for future reference.
