ASSEMBLY
When you receive your appliance it is completely assembled with the possible exception of the legs (or casters)
and heat deflector.
Leg/Caster Installation and Leveling
This appliance must be installed with legs or casters; it
cannot be curb mounted. Curb mounting will seriously inhibit
this appliances ability to effect proper combustion.
WARNING
This appliance must
be installed with the legs or
casters provided by the manufacturer.
WARNING
Do not install legs or casters, or perform leveling procedure when unit is in operation or
full of cooking medium. Serious injury could result.
Required tools: 7/16 “ wrench and socket and a large pair of water pump pliers. The legs/casters must be
installed before connecting the appliance to the gas supply. The legs provide the necessary height to meet
sanitation requirements and assure adequate air supply to the combustion system. Use the following procedure.
a. Lay the appliance on its back, being careful not to damage the flue area by pulling on it. Protect
the outside of the appliance with cardboard or a drop cloth when laying it down.
b. Attach each leg/caster with the hex head screws and nuts supplied. Each leg/caster requires
four ¼-20 x 5/8” hex head screws and nuts. Insure that all screws are tight.
c. Mount the screws from the inside of the appliance with the nut on the outside (bottom) of the
appliance. The nuts have lock washers attached to them, therefore it is not necessary to use
lock washers
d. When all four legs/casters are securely mounted, stand the unit up, being careful not to put too
much weight on any one leg. Adjust the height and level the appliance by adjusting the leveling
devices (B) with water pump pliers. On casters, loosen 2 screws (A) before leveling, then

c. When properly installed the angled section of the heat deflector will extend over the flue
opening to redirect the heat. It SHOULD NOT cover the flue opening. Never allow anything to
block the flue opening; this will cause the appliance to over heat and inhibit proper combustion,
which could produce dangerous gases
INSTALLATION
If you have completed the above steps that are applicable to the appliance you purchased, the appliance is now
ready to be installed. Although it may be possible for you to install and set up your new appliance, it is
STRONGLY recommended that you have this done by qualified professionals. A qualified professional will
ensure that the installation is safe and meets local building and fire codes.
WARNING
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion, ventilation or air openings around the appliance.
Adequate clearance around the appliance is necessary for servicing and proper burner
operation. Ensure that you meet the minimum clearance requirements specified in this
manual.
Installation Clearances
The clearances shown below are for combustible and non-combustible installations and will allow for safe and
proper operation of your appliance.
Combustible
Construction
Non-
Combustible
Construction
Back 6 in. (15 cm) 0
Sides 6 in. (15 cm) 0
Floor 4 ¾ (11.5 c,) 4 ¾ (11.5 cm)
In addition to the above clearances there must also be at least 28 inches (71 cm) of aisle space in front of the
appliance.
Gas Connection
Your appliance will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to provide the
correct gas flow. The gas line must be installed to meet the in accordance with AS/NZS 5601 or local codes, as
applicable. Gas line sizing requirements can be determined by a qualified installation professional, your local
gas company or by the Technical Regulator. The gas line needs to be large enough to supply the necessary
amount of fuel to all appliances without losing pressure to any appliance. A properly sized and installed gas line
will deliver a minimum supply pressure of 7.0 ± 2.0 inches w.c. (1.75 ± 0.5 kPa) for natural gas and 12.0 ± 2.0
inches (3.0 ± 0.5 kPa) for propane to all appliances connected to the supply line, operating simultaneously at full
demand. Each appliance is equipped to operate on one certain fuel type. The type of fuel with which the
appliance is intended to operate is stamped on the data plate, which is attached to the inside of the door.
INSTALLATION
L20-290 Rev 3, (5/12) 3
WARNING
NEVER supply the appliance with a gas other than the one that is indicated on the data
plate. Using the incorrect gas type will cause improper operation and could result in
serious injury or death. If you need to convert the appliance to another type of fuel,
contact the dealer you purchased it from.
NOTICE
NEVER use an adaptor to make a smaller gas supply line fit the appliance connection.
This may not allow proper gas flow for optimum burner operation, resulting in poor
performance and improper operation.
Quick Disconnect Gas Connection
Gas appliances equipped with casters must be installed in compliance with the applicable clauses of The
Standard for Gas Installations, AS/NZS 5601(latest edition). This connection should include a quick disconnect
device that complies with the Standard for Limited Flexibility Connectors, AS4631 (latest edition). When
installing a quick disconnect you must also install adequate means for limiting the movement of the appliance
without depending on the connector and quick-disconnect device or its associated piping to limit the movement
of the appliance. The restraining device should be attached to the appliance on the back panel.
Fuel Supply Line Leak and Pressure Testing
The fuel supply system must be tested before the appliance is used. If the fuel line is going to be tested at a
pressure greater than ½ PSIG (3.45 kPa), insure that that appliance is disconnected from the fuel line. If the fuel
line is to be tested at a pressure equal to or less than ½ PSIG (3.45 kPa), the appliance can be connected
during the test, but the unit’s gas valve must be shut. Test all gas line connections for leaks with a solution of
soap and water when pressure is applied.
Ventilation and Fire Safety Systems
Your new appliance must have proper ventilation to function safely and properly. Exhaust gas temperatures can
reach as high as 1100 °F (593 °C). Therefore, it is very important to install a fire safety system. Your ventilation
system should be designed to allow for easy cleaning. Frequent cleaning and proper maintenance of the
ventilation system and the appliance will reduce the chances of fire.
It is essential that the appliance be operated only when adequate ventilation is provided. Your ventilation hood
should be properly maintained. A qualified installation professional should ensure that the hood is operating
properly in conjunction with the appliance. Inadequate ventilation may not properly evacuate appliance all
emissions. Excessive or unbalanced ventilation may cause drafts, which could interfere with proper operation of
the pilot and burners. Leave at least 18 inches (45.7 cm) of open space between the flue of the appliance and
the intake of the exhaust hood.
CAUTION
Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the appliance’s flue
opening. A down draft will not allow the appliance to exhaust properly and will cause
overheating, which may cause permanent damage. NEVER point a fan or similar device at
or toward the flue opening of this appliance. Damage caused by down drafts will not be
covered by the warranty. NEVER allow anything to obstruct the flow of combustibles or
ventilation exiting the appliance. NEVER place anything on top of the flue area, or block
the flue in any way.
NOTICE
NEVER connect the ventilation blower or hood directly to the flue of this appliance. The
resulting increased flow of air through the combustion system will cause improper
operation, poor temperature recovery, poor ignition and could extinguish the pilot.
INSTALLATION
6 L20-290 Rev 3 (5/12)
INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS
It is necessary to test the operation of your appliance after your appliance has been properly installed as
described in the installation section of this manual. It will most likely need to be adjusted to ensure that it will
perform as designed. These adjustments must be performed by a qualified person. To perform these
adjustments the following tools will be needed:
• Manometer • Digital Thermometer (Temperature Probe)
• DC Millivolt Meter • DC Milliameter
Before you begin filling and adjusting the appliance, perform the
following visual checks:
a. After the appliance is in its permanent location,
check the levelness. Any additional leveling that is
necessary can be performed as previously
described.
b. Check the temperature probe and high limit bulb (in
the tank) to ensure that the mounting screws are
tight.
c. Review the installation portion of this manual and
ensure that all steps have been followed and
executed properly.
Burner Ignition Systems
CAUTION
Before proceeding any further, fill the tank with WATER. Water is used for the installation
adjustments because the temperature will never exceed 212°F (100°C), thereby allowing
plenty of adjustment time. Never let the water level go below the MIN LEVEL mark stamped
on the tank.
WARNING
During operation there is an open flame inside this appliance. The unit may get hot
enough to set near by materials on fire. Keep the area around the appliance free from
combustibles.
Lighting Instructions

Lighting Instructions (continued)
d. If the pilot goes out, wait 5 minutes and repeat step C. If after three tries
the pilot will not remain lit, refer to the operator troubleshooting section of
this manual.
e. Once a pilot flame has been established, turn the gas valve knob
counterclockwise to the ON position.
f. Set the thermostat control knob to the desired temperature setting.
The main burners will ignite and be controlled by the thermostat.
Pilot Flame Adjustment
For manual pilots
, refer to the following instructions. Perform this procedure once the pilot is lit.
NOTE: This procedure requires a DC millivolt meter set to a scale of 0-1000 mV.
Using test leads with sharp probes will help in taking the required readings.
a. Locate the thermopile wires coming from the thermostat/limit
box going to the gas valve. The wire size decreases near the
gas valve connections.
b. Using the positive (+) test probe, connect the probe to the high
limit wire terminal. On UFM systems, pierce the high limit wire
insulation, with the tip of the test lead probe, at the gas valve
safety magnet connection.
c. Connect the negative (-) test probe to the pilot tubing.
d. Remove the cap screw located below the pilot tubing on the
gas valve. The pilot flame adjustment screw is recessed
behind this. Turning the pilot flame adjustment screw clockwise
lowers the pilot flame and millivolt output. Turning the pilot flame
adjustment screw counter- clockwise increases the pilot flame size
and millivolt output.
e. While monitoring the DC millivolt meter, rotate the pilot flame adjustment screw in the
direction necessary to achieve a reading of 25 ± 5 mV.
Note: Allow 3 to 5 minutes between flame adjustments to allow the reading to stabilize.
f. Replace the cap screw.
Main Burner System Adjustment
For the main burners to operate the gas supply valve must be open and the thermostat must be turned
on. For models with electric controls, the main power switch must be on. The main burners receive gas
from the main gas supply through the thermostatically controlled valve. When the thermostat is turned up
the gas control valve opens.
The main burner pressure must be adjusted to deliver optimum flame. Refer to the following procedure to
adjust the main burners.

You will need a container large enough to hold 1 ½ times the shortening/oil in the tank. Refer to the following
procedure for weekly boil out.
WARNING
Completely shut the appliance down when the shortening/oil is being drained and
replaced with water. This will prevent the main burners from coming on during the
draining and filling procedure.
WARNING
At operating temperatures, the shortening/oil in the appliance is VERY HOT and can cause
severe burns. Do not let the hot shortening/oil touch your skin or clothing. ALWAYS wear
insulated, oil proof gloves, protective clothing and eyewear when working on a hot
appliance.
a. Drain the shortening/oil from the appliance and discard or save for reuse. Remove the tube
screen. Close the drain valve and fill the tank with warm water and non-caustic detergent
b. Restart the appliance as described in this manual and set the thermostat to 200°F (93 °C). Bring
the water to a slow boil. DO NOT allow the water to boil excessively as this will cause excessive
foaming and boil over.
c. Allow the appliance to soak for 20 minutes to soften shortening/oil deposits. Use the cleaning
brush to scrub and remove any residue from the tank, tubes and side walls.
d. When finished drain the water and wipe the tank dry with a soft clean cloth.
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENTS
L20-290 Rev 3, (5/12) 11
e. Ensure that the drain valve is closed and replace the tube screen.
f. You may now refill the tank with shortening/oil per the filling instructions in this manual.
Ventilation Hood Maintenance
Proper ventilation hood operation is very important for the correct operation of this appliance and the safety of
personnel. The ventilation hood should be inspected at the time of installation of this appliance to insure that it
will operate properly in conjunction with the appliance. A regular schedule of examination and maintenance, to
ensure operation in accordance with AS 4566 latest edition and/or applicable local codes, must be followed.
OIL TEMPERATURE
Keep the oil temperature in the fryer to a maximum of 190°C. Higher temperatures will cause rapid
breakdown of the oil and give you no faster cooking. At 205°C to 210°C the life of the oil is only one third
of its life at 190°C. In addition, increased decomposition causes the oil to smoke badly even if the
temperature is lowered to 190°C again. High oil temperatures give you no advantage, cost you money
and increase the fire danger.
TEMPERATURA DELL’OLIO
Mantenere la temperatura dell’olio nella friggitrice fino a un massimo di 190°C. Temperature maggiori causano un
rapido degrado dell’olio, senza tuttavia eseguire una cottura più rapida. Da 205°C a 210°C la durata dell’olio è
inferiore di un terzo rispetto a quella a 190°C. Inoltre, l’accresciuta decomposizione comporta una forte emissione di
fumo, anche se la temperatura viene riportata di nuovo a 190°C. Le alte temperature non prevedono vantaggi, sono
antieconomiche e aumentano il rischio d’incendio.
ΘΕΡΜΟΚΡΑΣΙΑ ΛΑΔΙΟΥ
Διατηρείτε τη θερμοκρασία λαδιού στη φριτέζα μέχρι 190 βαθμούς Κελσίου. Υψηλότερες θερμοκρασίες θα
αλλάξουν τη σύνθεση του λαδιού πολύ σύντομα και δεν ψήνετε γρηγορότερα. Η δυναμικότητα του λαδιού
στους 205-210 βαθμούς Κελσίου είναι μόνο το ένα τρίτο (33%) της δυναμικότητάς του στους 190 βαθμούς
Κελσίου. Επιπλέον η αυξημένη αποσύνθεση του λαδιού, σε θερμοκρασίες πάνω από
190 βαθμούς Κελσίου,
κάνει το λάδι να καπνίζει άσχημα κι αν ακόμη κατεβάσετε τη θερμοκρασία κατόπιν πάλι στους 190
βαθμούς Κελσίου. Οι υψηλές θερμοκρασίες δε σας παρέχουν κανένα πλεονέκτημα, σας κοστίζει
περισσότερα χρήματα και αυξάνουν τον κίνδυνο πυρκαγιάς.
