Series gas fryers manufactured for non-CE countries use different burners for each type gas.
The burners in fryers built for Propane gas have a special gray-colored coating on the burner tiles to
enable them to withstand the higher caloric value of the Propane gas. Burners designed for use in
propane units may be used in natural gas applications, but not vice versa.
