NOTICE
Installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the Propane
Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.2, as applicable.
NOTICE
These installation procedures must be followed by qualified personnel or warranty will be void.
Local codes regarding installation vary greatly from one area to another. The National Fire Protection
Association, Inc. states in its NFPA 96 latest edition that local codes are the “authority having
jurisdiction” when it comes to installation requirements for equipment.
Step 1: Unpack
IMMEDIATELY INSPECT FOR SHIPPING DAMAGE
All containers should be examined for damage before and during unloading. The freight carrier has
assumed responsibility for safe transit and delivery. If damaged equipment is received, either
apparent or concealed, a claim must be made with the delivering carrier.
Apparent damage or loss must be noted on the freight bill at the time of delivery. The freight bill must
then be signed by the carrier representative (Driver). If the bill is not signed, the carrier may refuse
the claim. The carrier can supply the necessary forms.
A request for inspection must be made to the carrier within 15 days if there is concealed damage or
loss that is not apparent until after the equipment is uncrated. The carrier should arrange an
inspection. Be certain to hold all contents plus all packing material.
1. Uncrate carefully. Report any hidden damage to the freight carrier IMMEDIATELY.
2. Do not remove any tags or labels until unit is installed and working properly.
Step 2: Install Flue Riser
The flue riser assembly is packed separately in the fryer shipping crate. Attach the flue riser to the top rear of
the fryer (see illustration on page 7).
