▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ with a minimum 6” overhang surrounding the fryer. A make-up air style is suggested, with a built-in and tested fire protection system (e.g., Ansul™). The appliance’s electrical schematic diagram is located inside the door. Do not directly connect the fryer flue or exhaust to the ventilation hood. Ensure the hood grease filters are at least 18” above the fryer exhaust flue. FLUE INSTALLATION: BEFORE USING FRYER INSTALL AND ASSEMBLE THE 10-5/8” FLUE AND DEFLECTOR PLATE TO THE FRYER. 1.
Codes and Standards: The fryer installation must adhere to all relevant national and local codes, regulations, and ordinances.

▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ ▪ efficiently and safely without creating a potential fire hazard. No structural material on the fryer or its flue chimney including physical alterations should be made so it can be placed under an approved exhaust hood with fire protection. An 18” (46 cm) minimum clearance should be maintained between the flue vent and the grease removal filters of the hood venting system. Never make flue connections directly between the fryer and exhaust hood.
When test pressures exceed ½ PSI (3.45 kPa), the fryer and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system. When test pressures are ½ PSI (3.45 kPa) or less, the fryer must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual shutoff valve. If any leaks must be repaired, ensure the line is free of any residual gas and then execute the needed remedial action safely and properly to conform to the prevailing codes and ordinances.
If you need to disconnect the restraining device for servicing or cleaning, remember to reconnect it before returning the appliance to its original position. LEVELING THE FRYER 1. Check the fryer's level by placing a "level" on top of it after connecting all gas components. Ensure that the fryer is level both front-to-back and side-to-side in its final installed position. 2. If your setup includes casters, lock the wheels once the fryer is level.
