FRYER GAS SUPPLY SPECIFICATIONS 
Please make sure that your desired fryer location has gas supply factors that are suitable for this product: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
* - Rating is based on sea level operation. Reduce rating 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level. 
** - “W.C. = Inches, Water Column. 
*** - Measure Supply Pressure when all other gas-powered equipment is operating. 
Gas Supply Inlet Pipe must be ½“  standard gas line. 
The 
gas supply inlet line should be as straight as possible 
(fewest bends or elbows) to obtain the highest available 
gas pressure at the fryer.  Locate this inlet line horizon-
tally at the center of the desired fryer location, approxi-
mately 8¼“  above the floor. 
NOTE:  Using a flexible inlet line permits variation in the 
gas supply line location, both horizontally and vertically.

MONTHLY MAINTENANCE 
INSTRUCTIONS 
 
 
NOTE: Regular maintenance is recommended to keep 
the fryer operating properly. 
 
Once each month, before beginning fryer operation, 
check the flue (behind the backsplash panel) to ensure 
that it is clear and free of obstructions, enabling exhaust 
combustion gases to flow freely toward the ventilation 
hood area.  DO NOT allow the flue to become excessively 
dirty. 
 
Monthly, observe the condition of the ventilation hood. 
If it shows evidence of a great deal of greasy residue, 
remove (clean) the residue to allow free flow of ventilation 
air. 
DAN GE R 
Avoid moving the fryer while it contains HOT 
shortening.  Drain the shortening from the fryer 
before moving it for service, clean- ing or mainte-
nance to avoid spilling or splashing.  [Refer to 
steps 1 through 7.] Burns from HOT shortening 
can cause serious injury or death.
