BKI LGF-FC Gas Pressure Fryer - Manual (Page 15)

Gas Pressure Fryer Installation
Failure to restrain the fryer could allow it to move, causing hot shortening to spill out, or a
possible break in the gas line causing an explosive condition.
3. Install an ANSI Z83.11/CGA 1.8 compliant restraining device (such as BKI part number FT0279) per the
instructions below:
 Mount the wall attachment according the restraining device manufacturer instructions.
 Attach the spring-loaded hook on the restraining device to the eye-bolt mounted to the fryer then
attach the other spring-loaded hook to the wall attachment.
Use appliance connectors and quick-disconnect devices that are in compliance with the
applicable ANSI and CSA standards.
4. Attach an appliance connector to the fryer according to the instructions provided by the appliance
connector manufacturer.
5. Connect the gas supply to the fryer. In Europe, the gas supplier must provide the gas hookup connecting
line.
6. Lock the casters so the fryer does not move. Every time you use the fryer, make sure the casters are
locked so the fryer cannot move. (In Canada: refer to caster codes CAN 1-6.10 M88 and CAN 1-6.9
M79.)
7. Turn on the gas at the gas supply valve.
8. Check for gas leaks from the gas supply to the fryer gas valve using a soap and water solution. If a leak is
detected, tighten the connection where the leak occurs.
9. Connect fryer wiring according to the appropriate wiring diagram in this manual.
10. Apply power to the fryer.
11. Perform the following procedures provided in the Startup and Checkout section of the
SV9401/SV9402/SV9403, SV9501/SV9502/SV9503, SV9601/SV9602 SmartValve™ SYSTEM
CONTROLS Installation Instructions (69-1004-2). Refer to Appendix A.
 Gas Leak Test
 Check and Adjust Pilot Flame
 Check and Adjust Gas Input Burner Ignition
Initial Test and Adjustment
1. Cut on the gas at the gas supply valve.
2. Place the DRAIN handle in the CLOSED position.
3. Fill pot with shortening to about one inch below the mark.
Risk of fire exists if the oil level drops below the minimum oil level. The level of oil
within the pot must not fall below 5mm of the maximum oil level.
Use of oil/shortening older than the manufacturers recommendations for life of
the oil is prone to surge boiling and flash fires. Follow the oil manufacturers
guidelines for lifecycle of oil/shortening.
