2-3
times when the fryer is in use. The restraining cable and installation instructions are packed with
the flexible hose in the accessories box that was shipped with your unit.
2. These fryers must be stabilized by installing restraining chains on fryers equipped with casters or
anchor straps on fryers equipped with legs. Follow the instructions shipped with the casters/legs
to properly install the chains or straps.
3. Level fryers equipped with legs by extending the adjustable portion of the leg out approximately
1 inch, and then further adjust the legs, ensuring 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 in. (600 mm).
For fryers equipped with casters, there are no built-in leveling devices. The floor where the fryer
is to be installed must be level.
4. Refer to the data plate on the inside of the fryer door to verify that the fryer is configured for the
proper type of gas before connecting the fryer quick-disconnect device or piping from the gas
supply line.
5. Verify that the minimum and maximum gas supply pressures for the type of gas to be used are in
accordance with the table below.

2.4 Connection to Gas Line
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 pilot outage, slow recovery and delayed
ignition. The incoming gas supply line should be a minimum of 1½” (38 mm) in diameter. All
single GF14/GF40 fryers using natural gas require a ¾” connection. Batteries of two and three
fryers require a 1” connection. For fryers using LP gas, one pipe size smaller may be used. If in
doubt about the correct pipe size, consult the local gas company.
NOTE: Runs of more than 20 feet and more than 4 fittings or elbows require an increase of one
pipe size, i.e., ¾” to 1” or 1” to 1¼”.
Before connecting new pipe to your unit, the pipe must be thoroughly blown out to remove any
foreign particles. If these foreign particles get into the burner and controls, they will cause improper
and sometimes dangerous operation.
