INSTALLATION OF LEGS

LEGS ASSEMBLY:

Mount Legs on bottom of product, the appliance may be further leveled with adjustment in the foot of the leg.

Gas Connections

The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the appliance. ASBER appliances use a ¾” NPT inlet.

Pipe joint compound must be resistive to Natural or LP gas.

For equipment using propane gas do not install supply lines with a diameter less than ½ under any circumstances.

All connections must be tested with a soapy water solution before lighting any pilots.

The appliance shall be connected to the fuel gas for which it was designed. No attempt shall be made to convert the appliance from the gas specified on the rating plate for use with a different gas without consulting the installation instructions, the serving gas supplier, or the appliance manufacturer for complete instructions.

MANUAL SHUT OFF VALVE

This installer supplied valve must be in the gas service line ahead of the appliance regulator in the gas stream and in a position accessible in the event of an emergency.

PRESSURE REGULATOR

Commercial cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for safe and efficient operation; the gas pressure regulator supplied by ASBER must be installed at the gas inlet of each piece of equipment.

The regulators supplied along with ASBER appliances, will have 3/4”inlet/outlet openings and are adjusted at the factory for 5” WC (natural gas) or 10” WC (propane gas) depending on customer’s ordering instructions.

Prior to connecting the regulator, check the incoming line pressure, as these regulators can only withstand a maximum pressure of ½” PSI (14”WC). If the line pressure is beyond this limit, a step down regulator will be required.

The arrow shown on the bottom of the regulator body shows the gas flow direction, it should point downstream to the appliance. The BLUE air vent cap on the top is part of the regulator and should not be removed.

Any adjustments to the regulator should be made by qualified service personnel only with the proper equipment.

THIS APPLIANCE IS EQUIPPED FOR NATURAL GAS.
This appliance is equipped with orifices sized (# 36) for operation with natural gas.
For conversion to LP (PROPANE) gas see instruction plate in the appliance. Gas conversion must be performed by qualified or authorized personnel. Orifices (#52) necessary for LP (PROPANE) and regulator for conversion are provided on accessory box.

PRESSURE REGULATOR CONVERSION

A. Remove cap and snap out plastic plunger from bottom of cap.
B. Turn plunger over and snap back in original location.

Failure to install the pressure regulator will void the appliance warranty

Please observe all local and national codes and ordinances
Installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition)
The appliance must be isolated from gas supply piping system, by closing its individual manual shut off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressure equal to or less than ½ psi (3.45kpa)

CLEARANCES

The appliance area must be kept free and clear of all combustibles
SRR, SRMR Series products are for installation in Non-Combustible locations only

| COMBUSTIBLE| NON COMBUSTIBLE
---|---|---
SIDES| 12 Inches| 0 Inches
REAR| 8 Inches| 0 Inches
FLOOR| 6 Inches| 0 Inches

AIR SUPPLY & VENTILATION

The area in front of, around and above the appliance must be kept clear to avoid any obstruction of the flow of combustion and ventilation air.

Adequate clearance must be maintained around the appliance for easy servicing. Provision should be made for any commercial, heavy-duty cooking appliance exhaust combustion waste products to the outside of the building. Usual practice is to place the appliance under an exhaust hood, which should be constructed in accordance to the local codes. Strong exhaust fans in this hood or in the overall air conditioning system can produce a slight vacuum in the room and / or cause air drafts, either of which can interfere with the pilot or burner performance and could be difficult to diagnose. Air movement should be checked during installation. Air openings or baffles may have to be provided in the room, if pilot or burner outage problem persists.

LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS

Set the thermostat and the gas tap dial on the combination gas valve to the “OFF” position.
Wait for five minutes.
Turn gas tap dial on the combination gas valve to “Pilot” position.
Depress the gas tap dial and apply a lighted match or taper to the pilot.
Hold the gas tap dial depressed for about 30 seconds or until pilot stays lit before releasing.
If the pilot does not stay lit, repeat step 4 and 5.
Turn gas tap dial on the combination gas valve to “on” position.
Turn the thermostat to the desired temperature.

DAILY SHUT-DOWN

At the end of the day, turn the gas tap dial on the combination gas valve and the thermostat to OFF position. Where applicable turn the power switch to OFF position. Filter the oil in all fryers.

TOP BURNERS

All top section burners are equipped with constant burning pilots. These are to be manually lighted immediately after the gas is turned on and can be rechecked for proper adjustment. All adjustments can be made with a screw driver to the brass pilot valve accessible through the valve cover.

GRIDDLE
The pilot should be lighted immediately after the gas is turned on and the system is checked for leaks. The pilot can be reached with a long match through the valve cover, or by lifting the plate upward and accessing through the top. Adjustment of the pilot flame can be made with a screwdriver to the pilot valve, accessible through the valve cover.

BEFORE 1st USE (GRIDDLE)

Clean the griddle surface thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove factory applied protective oil coating.
Rinse with a mixture of ½ cup vinegar to one quart water.
Spread unsalted solid shortening or liquid frying compound evenly over the entire griddle surface.
Turn ON griddle burners to medium and wait until the shortening begins to smoke, then turn the burners 0FF.
Rub the new melted shortening into the griddle surface with burlap, moving in the direction of the surface’ s polish marks and covering the entire surface.
Allow the griddle to cool.
When the griddle is cool after the second seasoning, wipe it with a thin film of shortening or cooking oil.

OVEN

Pilot gas is tapped from the main burner manifold pipe, routed through tubing to a pilot safety valve, and then to the pilot burner. Gas flow is controlled by the safety valve.

Oven pilot lighting or relighting is to be completed in the following sequence:

Turn the oven thermostat knob and oven manual shut-off valve to “off” and wait 5 minutes.
Remove the oven´s lower kick plate by lifting up and out.
Make sure any accumulate gas has dispersed. Since propane gas is heavier than air, check near the floor area for the odor of propane gas before attempting to light any pilot burners.
Depress the red button on the safety valve and hold it in throughout the lighting (piezoelectric) procedure
Apply a lit match to the pilot burner head.
Continue to depress the safety valve button until the pilot remains lit when released.
If pilot are extinguished, repeat steps 4 through 6 above.
Turn the oven manual shut-off valve and oven thermostat knob to “on” and set to desired temperature setting, watch to make sure the oven burner ignites from the pilot and that there are no yellow flames from the burner.
For complete shutdown turn thermostat and manual valve to “off” position.

NOTE: It may be necessary to relight the pilot several times until the lines are purged of any trapped air and a constant gas flow is attained.

MAINTENANCE

Cleaning

CLEANING
For continued performance efficiency and longevity of your Fryer it is essential to carry out a good maintenance program.

DAILY

OPEN BURNERS / HOT PLATES

Remove all top grates.
Lift off the burners heads and ventures by raising the head slightly, sliding to the rear and lifting upwards.
Wash off the above in hot soapy water.
Re-install parts in the reverse order.

GRIDDLES

Scrape with a nylon griddle scraper to remove the cooked spills. When absolutely necessary use a fine grained stone to scrape.
Wipe away any griddle stone dust and food particles with burlap.
Wash with hot, soapy water, and then rinse with vinegar and water.
Rinse again with clear water.
Re-oil with shortening or liquid frying compound.
DO NOT FLOOD A HOT GRIDDLE WITH COLD WATER. This could cause warping and griddle plate to crack.

OVENS
On initial installation, turn the oven to 250°F degrees and operate for about 1 hour, then reset the thermostat to its maximum and operate for another hour. This will drive off any solvents remaining in the unit. At the end of this second hour, turn the thermostat OFF, open the door and allow the unit to cool. Oven should then be thoroughly washed using hot, soapy water before being used.

STAINLESS STEEL PARTS

Do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers or powders to clean stainless steel surfaces.
All stainless steel parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water during the day and a stainless steel liquid cleaner at the end of the day. To remove encrusted materials, soak in hot water to loosen the material, and then use a wood or nylon scraper. NOT USE a metal knife, spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. Scratches are almost impossible to remove.

Contact the factory, factory representative or a local service company to perform all Maintenance and Service Repairs.
