CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3-8
3.4 Gas Connections (cont.)
E. Flexible Couplings, Connectors and Casters
1. If the fryer is to be installed with flexible couplings and/or quick-disconnect fittings, the
installer must use a heavy-duty certified commercial flexible connector of at least 3/4" (22
mm) NPT (with suitable strain-relief attachments), in compliance with local codes or in the
absence of local codes, with the appropriate National or European Community (CE)
standards. Quick-disconnect devices must comply with local codes or in the absence of
local codes, with the appropriate National or European Community (CE) standards.
2. For an appliance equipped with casters, the installation shall be made with a connector that
complies with local codes or in the absence of local codes, with the appropriate National or
European Community (CE) standards.
3. Under no circumstances are the connector and the quick-disconnect device, or its associated
piping to be used to limit fryer movement. A restraining bracket is provided on the
appliance back to prevent the unit from moving from its installed position.
WARNING
Do not attach accessories to this fryer unless fryer is secured from tipping. The
fryer may become unstable, tip over and cause injury.
4. To limit movement of the fryer, restraints independent of the flexible coupling or connector
must be used. Clips are located on the back panel of the fryer for the attachment of
restraints.
5. If disconnection of the restraint is necessary, the restraint must be reconnected after the fryer
has been returned to its originally installed position.
F. After hook up, bleed the gas line of air to ensure that the pilot light will ignite quickly and
evenly.
