GAS COOKERS GSMS, GBC, AND GC INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 2.1 General Installation Requirements Qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel, as defined in Section 1.7 of this manual, should perform all installation and service on Frymaster equipment. Conversion of this appliance from one type of gas to another should only be performed by qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel as defined in Section 1.
installed so that products of combustion are removed efficiently, and that the kitchen ventilation system does not produce drafts that interfere with proper burner operation. The cooker flue opening must not be placed close to the intake of the exhaust fan, and the cooker must never have its flue extended in a “chimney” fashion. An extended flue will change the combustion characteristics of the cooker, causing longer recovery time. It also frequently causes delayed ignition.
with all local codes. In CANADA, installation must conform to Standard CAN/CGA-B149.1 or CAN/CGA-B149.2, Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment. In addition, installation must comply with all local codes. InAUSTRALIA, this appliance must be installed by an authorized person in accordance with these instructions, local gas and electrical regulations, and the requirements of AA601, Installation Requirements for Gas Burning Appliances.
2.3 Pre-Connection Preparations DANGER Do not connect cooker to gas supply before completing each step in this section. After the cooker has been positioned under the exhaust hood, ensure the following has been accomplished: 1. Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of cookers without depending upon the gas line connections. If a flexible gas hose is used, a restraining cable must be connected at all times when the cooker is in use.
6. Connect the desired drain plumbing to the 1¼–inch drain valve. 7. Test the cooker electrical system: a. Plug the cooker electrical cord into a grounded electrical receptacle of appropriate voltage. (Check the rating plate on the cooker door to determine the proper voltage). b. Place the power switch in the ON position and verify that the display indicates –LO. c. Place the cooker power switch in the OFF position. Verify that the display is blank. 8.
2.4 Connection to the Gas Line The GSMS/GBC/GC family of gas cookers has been approved for use with natural and propane (LP) gas. The cookers in this family have also received the mark for the countries and gas categories indicated in the accompanying table. CE Standard The nominal heat input (Qn) is 21kW except for AT, DE, LU and for category 3B/P under 50 mbar, which is 23kW.
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. Frymaster recommends the incoming gas supply line be a minimum of 1 ½” (38mm) in diameter. Refer to the chart below for the minimum sizes of connection piping.
4. It is recommended that the burner gas pressure be checked at this time by the local gas company or an authorized service agent. Refer to “Check Burner Pressure” in Chapter 4 of this manual for the proper procedure. The accompanying tables list the burner gas pressures for the various gas types that can be used with this equipment.
CE Gas Conversion Instructions 1. Between G20- and G25- type Natural Gas, adjust the gas pressure at the gas valve regulator. (Refer to the CE Standard for Burner Gas Pressure Table on Page 2-7.) Do not change the orifices. 2. Between a 2nd family (G20 or G25) and a 3rd family gas (G31 Propane): a. Change the orifices. b. Change the ignitors. c. Adjust the incoming gas pressure for the new gas. (Refer to the CE Standard for Incoming Gas Pressure table on Page 2-5). d.

LOW WATER SENSING automatically closes the gas valve (thereby extinguishing the burner flame) if the water in the cookpot drops too low. When the water level in the cookpot is below the low-water sensor, such as when draining and cleaning the cookpot, the controller display will readLO.
2. On Non-CE units, turn the gas valve knob to the ON position (see illustration at right.) NOTE: CE gas valves do not have an ON/OFF knob. These valves will activate automatically when the controller power switch is placed in the ON position and the lower water level sensor is covered with water. The burners should light for several seconds and then go out. A few seconds later they should light again.
3.2.3 Boiling Out the Cookpot To ensure that the cooker is free of contamination from manufacture, shipping, or handling during installation, the cookpot must be boiled out before first use. 1. Close the drain valve and fill the cookpot with a mixture of cold water and 1 cup of detergent. 2. Place the unit into operation (see Section 3.2.1). 3. Press the Simmer Mode switch and allow the solution to simmer for at least 1 hour. 4.
