KSCF18G COOL ZONE SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 2: IMPORTANT INFORMATION
2-2
2.3 Principles of Operation
The incoming gas flows through orifices and is mixed with air in the burners to create the correct
ratio for proper combustion. The mixture is ignited at the front end of each heat tube by the pilot
light. Internal diffusers slow the flame as it goes through the burner tube. This slower and more
turbulent flame gives much better heat transfer to the walls of the tubes, thereby heating the oil more
efficiently.
2.4 Rating Plate
This is attached to the inside of the front door panel. Information provided includes the model and
serial number of the fryer, BTU/hr (kW/hr) input of the burners, outlet gas pressure in inches W.C.
(mbars), and whether the unit has natural (G20/25) or propane (G31) gas orifices.
2.5 Pre-Installation
DANGER
This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug for your protection
against electrical shock and must be plugged directly into a properly grounded
three-prong receptacle. Do not cut, remove, or otherwise bypass the grounding
prong on this plug.
A. General: Only licensed personnel should install any gas-fired equipment.
1. A manual gas shut-off valve must be installed in the gas supply line ahead of the fryers for
safety and ease of future service.
2. The Frymaster KSCF18G gas fryers require 120 volts (AC) 60-cycle electrical service for
non-CE installation (U.S./Canada/Mexico) and 230 volts (AC) 50-cycle electrical service
for CE/International installations. Fryers are equipped with a 16-3 SJT grounded flexible
power cord for a direct connection to the power supply. Amperage draw for each unit
depends on the accessories supplied with the unit. See detailed instructions packaged with
the fryer line-up.
DANGER
No structural material on the fryer should be altered or removed to accommodate
placement of the fryer under a hood. Questions? Call the Frymaster Service Hotline
