2.2 Leg Installation
DANGER
DO NOT install this appliance without legs.
Depending upon the specific configuration ordered, the fryer might have been shipped without
installed legs. If legs are installed, you may skip this section and proceed to Section 2.3, Pre-
Connection Preparations.
If your fryer requires the installation of legs, install them in accordance with the instructions
included in your accessory package.
2.3 Pre-Connection Preparations
DANGER
Do not connect this appliance to the gas supply before completing each step in this
section.
DANGER
Do not attach an apron drain board to a single fryer. The fryer may become
unstable, tip over, and cause injury. The appliance area must be kept free and clear
of combustible materials at all times.
After the fryer has been positioned under the fry station exhaust hood, ensure the following has been
accomplished:
1. Level fryers equipped with legs by screwing out the legs approximately 1 inch, and then
adjust them so that the fryer is level and at the proper height in the exhaust hood. Frymaster
recommends that the minimum distance from the flue outlet to the bottom edge of the filter
be 24 inches (600 mm) when the appliance consumes more than 120,000 BTU per hour.
