Installation, Operation and Care of MODELS HGF, HGD and HGC SERIES GAS FRYERS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS GENERAL Hobart HGF, HGD and HGC Series Gas Fryers are produced with quality workmanship and material. Proper installation, usage and maintenance of your fryer will result in many years of satisfactory performance. It is suggested that you thoroughly read this entire manual and carefully follow all of the instructions provided.
INSTALLATION Before installing the fryer, verify that the type of gas (natural or propane) agrees with the specifications on the fryer data plate, which is located on the inside of the door panel. Ensure the fryer is configured for the proper elevation. UNPACKING This fryer was carefully inspected before leaving the factory. The transportation company assumes full responsibility for safe delivery upon acceptance of the shipment.
INSTALLATION CODES AND STANDARDS Hobart fryers must be installed in accordance with: In the United States of America: 1. State and local codes. 2. National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI-Z223.1 (latest edition). Copies may be obtained from The American Gas Association, Inc., 1515 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22209. 3. National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA-70 (latest edition). Copies may be obtained from The National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269. In Canada: 1. Local codes. 2. CSA B149.
Separate instructions for installing casters to the fryer are included with the casters. REAR Fig. 3 GAS CONNECTIONS CAUTION: All gas supply connections and any pipe joint compound must be resistant to the reaction of propane gases. The gas inlet is located on the lower right rear of the fryer. Codes require that a gas shutoff valve be installed in the gas line ahead of the fryer. The gas supply line must be at least the equivalent of 1/2" iron pipe for single units and 1 1/4" for batteries.
FLUE CONNECTIONS The fryer must be located under a hood with adequate connection to an exhaust duct. The hood must extend 6" (15 cm) beyond fryer sides. Adequate ventilation must be provided and comply with Vapor Removal from Cooking Equipment, ANSI-NFPA Standard #96 (latest edition), available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269. Clearance above the fryer should be adequate for combustion by-products to be removed efficiently.
