INSTALLATION
1. INSTALLATION
1.1. CHECKING YOUR NEW APPLIANCE
Your new Pitco appliance has been carefully packed into one crate. Every effort has been made to
ensure that it is delivered to you in perfect condition. As you unpack your new appliance, inspect each
of the pieces for damage. If something is damaged, DO NOT sign the bill of lading. Contact the
shipper immediately; the shipper is only responsible for 15 days after delivery. Check the packing list
enclosed with your appliance to ensure that you have received all the parts to the appliance. If you
are missing any parts, contact the dealer from whom the appliance was purchased. As you unpack
the appliance and its accessories be careful to keep the weight of the appliance evenly distributed.
Refer to the table below to identify which accessories should be included with your appliance.
Locate your Pitco model number and serial number on the inner door of the appliance and the find
the date purchased. Write this information on the front cover of this manual for future reference.
If you have completed the above steps that are applicable to the appliance you purchased, the
appliance is now ready to be installed. Although it may be possible for you to install and set up your
new appliance, it is STRONGLY recommended that you have this done by qualified professionals. A
qualified professional will ensure that the installation is safe and meets local building and fire codes.
WARNING
DO NOT sit or stand on this appliance. The appliance’s front panel, tank,
splash back, tank cover, workshelf, drain board is not a step. Serious
injury could result from slipping, falling or contact with hot liquids.
1.2. INSTALLATION CLEARANCES

0.0" (0.0cm)
Counter
6.0" (15.2cm)
6.0" (15.2cm)
In addition to the above clearances there must also be at least 16 inches (40.64cm) of aisle space in
front of the unit.
WARNING
WARNING
DO NOT obstruct the flow of ventilation, or air openings
around the appliance. Adequate clearance around the
appliance is necessary for servicing and proper
component ventilation. Ensure that you meet the
minimum clearance requirements specified in this manual.
DO NOT install this appliance next
to a water cooker. A splash over of
water into the hot oil may cause a
flash fire.
1.3. HEAT DEFLECTOR INSTALLATION (IF EQUIPPED)
If the appliance requires a heat deflector, you will find a removable label at the rear top edge of the
unit. This label has instructions for positioning and installation of the heat deflector. Refer to the label
and the instructions below to install the deflector.

L20-378 rev. 0 (9/12)
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove the two self-drilling screws from the top, back area of the appliance.
2. Position the heat deflector so that the angled portion of the deflector is facing toward the front
of appliance. Secure the heat deflector to the back of the unit using the two previously removed
fasteners.
3. When properly installed the angled section of the heat deflector will extend over the flue
opening to redirect the heat. It SHOULD NOT cover the flue opening. Never allow anything to
block the flue opening; this will cause the appliance to over heat and inhibit proper combustion,
which could produce dangerous gases.
CAUTION
To prevent equipment damage and/or personal injury, do not tilt the appliance onto any
two of its casters or legs, or pull the appliance by the splash back.
1.4. LEG/CASTER INSTALLATION AND LEVELING
When you receive your appliance it is completely assembled with the possible exception of the legs
(or casters). This appliance must be installed with legs or casters; it cannot be curb mounted. Curb
mounting will seriously inhibit this appliance’s ability to effect proper component ventilation. The
legs/casters must be installed before connecting the appliance to the power supply. The legs provide
the necessary height to meet sanitation requirements and assure adequate air supply to the
combustion system. Use the following procedure.
WARNING
This appliance must be installed with the legs or casters provided by the manufacturer.
Required tools: 7/16 “ (12 mm) wrench and socket and a large pair of water pump pliers.
1. Lay the appliance on its back, being careful not to damage the splash back by pulling on it.
Protect the outside of the appliance with cardboard or a drop cloth when laying it down.
2. Attach each leg/caster with the hex head screws and nuts supplied. Each leg/caster requires
four ¼-20 x 5/8” hex head screws and nuts. Insure that all screws are tight.
3. Mount the screws from the inside of the appliance with the nut on the outside (bottom) of the
appliance. The nuts have lock washers attached to them, therefore it is not necessary to use
separate lock washers.
WARNING
DO NOT install legs or casters, or perform
leveling procedure when appliance is in operation
or full of hot liquids. Serious injury could result.
4. When all four legs/casters are securely
mounted, stand the unit up, being careful not
to put too much weight on any one leg.
Adjust the height and level the appliance by
adjusting the leveling devices (B) with water
pump pliers. On casters, loosen 2 screws (A)
before leveling, make your height
adjustments, then retighten.

INSTALLATION
1.4.1. GAS CONNECTION
Your gas appliance will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to
provide the correct gas pressure. The gas line must be installed to meet the local building codes or
National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 Latest Edition. In Canada, install the appliance in accordance
with CAN/CGA-B149.1 or .2 and local codes. In Australia, install the appliance in accordance with
AS/NZS 5601. Gas line sizing requirements can be determined by your local gas company or, in
North America, by referring to the National Fuel Gas Code, Appendix C, Table C-4 (for natural gas)
and Table C-16 (for propane). The gas line needs to be large enough to supply the necessary amount
of fuel to all appliances without losing pressure to any appliance. A properly sized and installed gas
line will deliver a supply pressure between 7.0” W.C. (17.4mbars, 1.74kPa) and 10.0”W.C.
(24.9mbars, 2.49kPa) natural gas or between 11.0”W.C. (27.4mbars, 2.74kPa) and 13.0” W.C.
(32.4mbars, 3.25kPa) for propane to all appliances connected to the supply line, operating
simultaneously at full demand. The pressure at the gas valve shall not exceed ½ PSI.
The gas supply connection to this appliance is located in the rear of the appliance approximately
10-1/2” (26.7 cm) from the floor of the appliance when legs are used.
Each appliance is equipped to operate on one certain fuel type. The type of fuel with which the
appliance is intended to operate is stamped on the data plate, which is attached to the inside of the
door.
WARNING
NEVER supply the appliance with a gas other than the one that is indicated on the data
plate. Using the incorrect gas type will cause improper operation and could result in serious
injury or death. If you need to convert the appliance to another type of fuel, contact the
dealer you purchased it from.
NOTICE
NEVER use an adapter to make a smaller gas supply line fit the appliance connection. This
may not allow proper gas flow for optimum burner operation, resulting in poor performance
and improper operation.
1.4.2. QUICK DISCONNECT CONNECTION
In North America, gas appliances equipped with casters must be installed with connectors that
comply with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69.CSA 6.16
Latest Edition. This connection should include a quick disconnect device that complies with the
Standard for Quick Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel Appliances ANSI Z21.41.CSA 6.9
Latest Edition. In Australia, an appliance equipped with casters and a flexible gas line must be
connected to the gas supply with a quick disconnect device that complies with AS 4627 and a
restraining cable. The restraining cable must not exceed 80% of the length of the flexible gas line.
The restraining device should be attached to the appliance at the back panel.
1.4.3. FUEL SUPPLY LINE LEAK AND PRESSURE TESTING
The fuel supply system must be tested before the appliance is used. If the fuel line is going to be
tested at a pressure greater than ½ PISG (3.45 kPa, 34.5 mbar), insure that that appliance is
disconnected from the fuel line. If the fuel line is to be tested at a pressure equal to or less than ½
PSIG (3.45 kPa, 34.5 mbar), the appliance can be connected during the test, but the unit’s gas
valve must be shut. Test all gas line connections for leaks with a solution of soap and water when
pressure applied.
1.4.4. INSTALLATION SETUP
The installation of this appliance MUST conform to local codes. In the absence of local codes in
North America, the installation must conform with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code CSA B149.1 as applicable. In
Australia, the appliance must installed in compliance with AS/NZS 5601 (current revision).

1.6. VENTILATION AND FIRE SAFETY SYSTEMS
Your new appliance must have proper ventilation to function safely and properly. Exhaust gas
temperatures can reach as high as 1100 °F (593 °C). Therefore, it is very important to install a fire
safety system. Your ventilation system should be designed to allow for easy cleaning. Frequent
cleaning and proper maintenance of the ventilation system and the appliance will reduce the chances
of fire. Ventilation and fire safety systems must comply to local and national codes for US and
Canada. Refer to ANSI 83.11 for a list of reference documents that will provide guidance on
ventilation and fire safety systems. For installations in U.S. and Canada, additional information can
be obtained from CSA International, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, OH, 44131 or visit
AS/NZS 5601.0.
It is essential that the appliance be operated only when adequate ventilation is provided. Your
ventilation hood should be properly maintained. A qualified installation professional should ensure that
the hood is operating properly in conjunction with the appliance. Inadequate ventilation may not
properly evacuate appliance all emissions. Excessive or unbalanced ventilation may cause drafts,
which could interfere with proper operation of the pilot and burners. Leave at least 18 inches (47cm) of
open space between the flue of the appliance and the intake of the exhaust hood.

supply through the thermostatically controlled valve. When the water temperature drops below
the preset temperature the gas control valve opens.
The main burners must be adjusted to deliver optimum flame. Refer to the following procedure to
adjust the main burners.
1. Ensure that the main gas valve is shut off, remove the manifold pressure tap plug and
connect an accurate pressure gauge (range of 0-16 “W.C. (39.85mbar, 3.98kPa) in 0.1”
(.25mbar, .02kPa) increments) or manometer.
2. Turn on this and all appliances connected to the gas supply line and light their main burners.
The pressure reading of the installed pressure gauge should not drop from the required
installation pressure. Any loss of pressure indicates inadequate supply line installation,
which will cause poor performance of all appliances during peak usage.
3. The installed pressure gauge should be the same, ±0.1” W.C. (.25mbar, .02kPa), as that
marked on the data plate on the inside door of the appliance. If the pressure is correct, go to
step 6, if it is not, adjust the pressure as outlined in step 4.

Note: If your appliance has a self cleaning burner system, the burners may make a
popping sound immediately after the main burners light during startup. This noise
during startup is part of the normal operation of the self cleaning burner system and
should NOT continue during normal cooking & idle periods. (SCB Only)
5. The appliance is now on and heating the oil/shortening in the cook tank.
WARNING
Oil/shortening level should NOT be allowed to fall below the minimum indicated level line at
any time. Dry firing of the fry tank will shorten tank service life and will void your warranty.
OIL TEMPERATURE
Keep the oil temperature in the fryer to a maximum of 190°C (374°F). Higher temperatures will cause
rapid breakdown of the oil and give you no faster cooking. At 205°C (401°F) to 210°C (410°F) the life of
the oil is only one third of its life at 190°C (374°F). In addition, increased decomposition causes the oil
to smoke badly even if the temperature is lowered to 190°C (374°F) again. High temperatures give you
no advantage, cost you money and increase the fire danger.
TEMPERATURA DELL’OLIO
Mantenere la temperatura dell’olio nella friggitrice fino a un massimo di 190°C. Temperature maggiori
causano un rapido degrado dell’olio, senza tuttavia eseguire una cottura più rapida. Da 205°C a 210°C
la durata dell’olio è inferiore di un terzo rispetto a quella a 190°C. Inoltre, l’accresciuta decomposizione
comporta una forte emissione di fumo, anche se la temperatura viene riportata di nuovo a 190°C. Le
alte temperature non prevedono vantaggi, sono antieconomiche e aumentano il rischio d’incendio.
