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.
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.
1.3. 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/casters
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 “ 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.
WARNING
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.
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. GAS CONNECTION
Your appliance will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to provide
the correct gas flow. The gas line must be installed to meet the local building codes or National Fuel
Gas Code ANS Z223.1 and NFPA 54 (latest editions). In Canada, install the appliance in accordance
with CSA B149.1 or .2 and local codes. Gas line sizing requirements can be determined by a qualified
installation professional, your local gas company or by referring to the National Gas Fuel 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) 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.
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.
1.4.1. QUICK DISCONNECT CONNECTION
Gas appliances equipped with casters must be installed with connectors that comply with the
Standard 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, ANSI Z21.41 • CSA 6.9 latest edition. When installing a quick
disconnect you must also install adequate means for limiting the movement of the appliance
without depending on the connector and quick-disconnect device or it’s associated piping to limit
the movement of the appliance. The restraining device should be attached to the appliance on the
back panel.
1.4.2. 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), 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), 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 is applied.

If your appliance is uses line current, it is equipped with an oil proof, electrical supply cord
with a three-prong safety plug. This is to protect operators from electrical shock hazard in the
event of an equipment malfunction. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding (third) prong from
this plug; it should be plugged into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.
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. Refer to ANSI
83.11 for a list of reference documents that will provide guidance on ventilation and fire safety

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
(45.72cm) of open space between the flue of the appliance and the intake of the exhaust hood.
WARNING
Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the appliance’s flue
opening. A down draft will not allow the appliance to exhaust properly and will cause
overheating, which may cause permanent damage. Damage caused by down drafts will not
be covered by the warranty. NEVER allow anything to obstruct the flow of combustibles or
ventilation exiting the appliance. NEVER place anything on top of the flue area, or block the
flue in any way. Never place a grease condensating drip pan over the flue opening.
WARNING
NEVER connect the ventilation blower or hood directly to the flue of this appliance. The
resulting increased flow of air through the combustion system will cause improper
operation, poor temperature recovery, poor ignition and could extinguish the pilot.

INSTALLATION
1.8.4. MAIN BURNER SYSTEM ADJUSTMENT
For the main burners to operate the gas supply valve must be open and the thermostat must be
turned on. The main power switch must be on. The main burners receive gas from the main gas
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.
