DANGER
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its in-
dividual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ PSI (3.45 kPa, 13.84 inches W.C.)
DANGER
“Dry-firing” your unit will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire. Always
ensure that cooking oil or water is in the frypot before firing the unit.
DANGER
All connections must be sealed with a joint compound suitable for the gas being
used and all connections must be tested with a solution of soapy water before light-
ing any pilots.
Never use matches, candles, or any other ignition source to check for leaks. If gas
odors are detected, shut off the gas supply to the appliance at the main shut-off
valve and immediately contact the local gas company or an authorized service agen-
cy for service.
The size of the gas line used for installation is very important. If the line is too small, the gas pressure at the
burner manifold will be low. This may cause slow recovery and delayed ignition. The incoming gas supply line
should be a minimum of 1½” (38 mm) in diameter. Refer to the chart below for the minimum sizes of connection
piping.
