2.6 Air Supply and Ventilation
Keep the area around the fryer clear to prevent obstruction of combustion and
ventilation airflow as well as for service and maintenance.
**Danger**
This appliance must be installed with sufficient ventilation to prevent the
occurrence of unacceptable concentrations of substances harmful to the health
of personnel in the room in which it is installed.
A. Do not connect this fryer to an exhaust duct.
B. Correct installation and adjustment will ensure adequate airflow to
the fryer system.
C. A commercial, heavy-duty fryer must vent its combustion wastes to the
outside of the building. A deep-fat fryer must be installed under a powered
exhaust hood, or an exhaust fan must be provided on the wall above the unit,
as exhaust gas temperatures are approximately 800-1000°F (427-538°C). Check
air movement during installation. Strong exhaust fans in the exhaust hood or
in the overall air conditioning system can produce slight air drafts in the
room.
D. Do not place the fryer’s flue outlet directly into the plenum of the
hood, as it will affect the gas combustion of the fryer.
E. Never use the interior of the fryer cabinet for storage or store items
on shelving over or behind the fryer. Exhaust temperatures can exceed 800°F
(427°C) and may damage or melt items stored in or near the fryer.
F. Adequate distance must be maintained from the flue outlet of the
fryer(s) to the lower edge of the filter bank. Per NFPA Standards No. 96, a
minimum of 18-inches (45 cm) should be maintained between the flue(s) and the
lower edge of the exhaust hood filter.
G. Filters and drip troughs should be part of any industrial hood, but
consult local codes before constructing and installing any hood. The duct
system, the exhaust hood, and the filter bank must be cleaned on a regular
basis and kept free of grease.
2.7 Equipment Installed at High Altitudes
A. The fryer input rating (BTU/hr) is for elevations up to 2,000 feet
(610-m). For elevations above 2,000 feet (610-m), the rating should be reduced
by four percent for each additional 1,000 feet (305-m) above sea level.
B. The correct orifices are installed at the factory if operating
altitude is known at the time of the customer’s order.
Installation
3.1 Installing the Fryer
**Danger**
Hot shortening can cause severe burns. Avoid contact. Under all circumstances,
the oil must be removed from the fryer before attempting to move it to avoid
oil spills, and the falls and severe buns that could occur. This fryer may tip
and cause personal injury if not secured in a stationary position.
A. Initial Installation: If the fryer is installed with legs, do not push
the fryer to adjust its position. Use a pallet or lift jack to lift the fryer
slightly, then place the fryer where it is to be installed.
B. Relocating the fryer: Remove all weight from each leg before moving a
fryer with legs installed. Do not slide the fryer on the legs.
C. If a leg becomes damaged, contact your service agent for immediate
repair/replacement.
3.2 Leveling the Fryer (Fryers equipped with legs only)
A. All Installations: If the floor is uneven or has a definite slope,
place the fryer on a level platform.
Caution
Fryers must be at room temperature, empty of oil and if fitted with legs,
lifted during movement to avoid damage and possible bodily injury.
B. Place a spirit level across the top of the fryer and level the unit
both front-to-back and side-to-side. If it is not level, the unit may not
function efficiently, the oil may not drain properly for filtering and in a
line-up, it may not match adjacent units.
C. Adjust to the high corner and measure with the spirit level. If the
floor is uneven, level the unit with the screw adjustments on each leg (
ensure minimum clearances as discussed in Chapter 2 are maintained during
the leveling procedure).
D. Re-leveling: If the fryer is moved, re-level the fryer following the
above instructions.
E. The installation must be reviewed at the time of installation to
ensure it meets the intent of these instructions.
**Warning
Fryers equipped with legs are for permanent installations. Fryers fitted with
legs must be lifted during movement to avoid damage and possible bodily
injury. For a moveable or portable installation, optional equipment casters
must be used. Questions? Call 1-800551-8633.
3.3 Installing Casters and Legs
A. Install casters and/or legs near where the fryer is to be used, as
neither is secure for long transit. Application Series gas fryers cannot be
curb mounted and must be equipped with either legs or casters provided.
B. After unpacking, use a pallet or lift jack to raise the unit before
installing the casters.
C. Align the caster or leg base holes with the leg support assembly and
insert the bolt. Install the washers and nut hand tight, and repeat for all
four holes in the caster/leg base assembly.
D. Tighten the caster/leg against the leg support assembly by using
appropriate tools. Ensure that all four bolts are evenly tightened. Tighten
the bolts to 50 inch-lbs. (5.65 Nm) torque.
E.** The level of the front casters can be adjusted. Remove the setscrew
(see arrow below) and turn the flange above the wheel. The rear casters cannot
be adjusted.
3.4 Gas Connections
National Code Requirements
This equipment is to be installed in compliance with the Basic Plumbing Code
of the Building Officials and Code Administrators International, Inc. (BOCA)
and the Food Service Sanitation Manual of the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration.
This equipment is manufactured to use the type of gas specified on the rating
plate attached to the door. Connect equipment stamped “NAT” only to natural
gas and that stamped “PRO” only to LP (Propane) gas.
Installation must be made with a gas connector that complies with national and
local codes. Quick-disconnect devices, if used, must likewise comply with
national and local codes.
**Danger
Before connecting the new pipe to this appliance, the pipe must be blown out
thoroughly to remove all foreign material. Foreign material in the burner and
gas controls will cause improper and dangerous operations.
A.** The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than
the fryer inlet line. Depending on the fryer configuration, the unit is
equipped with a 1/2 to 1-1/4-inch NPT male inlet. The gas supply line must be
sized to accommodate all the gas-fired equipment that may be connected to that
gas supply. Consult your contractor, gas company, supplier, or other
knowledgeable authorities.
Gas Supply Line Sizes
Gas Type|
| 2-3| 4 or more*
Natural| 1″ (28mm)| 1-1/4″ (35mm)
Propane| 3/4″ (22mm)| 1″ (28mm)
- When exceeding 18 feet for a configuration of more than four fryers, provide a 1-1/4″ (35mm) rigid gas connection.
B. Rigid Connections: Check any installer-supplied intake pipe(s) and
clean threading chips, or any other foreign matter before installing into a
service line. If the intake pipes are not clear of all foreign matter, the
orifices will clog when gas pressure is applied. Seal pipe joints with a
sealant resistive to LP gas. When using thread compound on gas piping, use
very small amounts and only on male threads.
Use a pipe thread compound that is not affected by the chemical action of LP
gases. DO NOT apply thread compound to the first two pipe threads— doing so
will cause clogging of the burner orifices and control valve.
**Danger
The fryer must be connected to the gas supply specified on the rating and
serial number plate located on the back of the fryer door.
C. Manual shut-off valve: This gas service supplier installed valve must
be installed in the gas service line ahead of the fryers in the gas stream and
in a position where it can be reached quickly in the event of an emergency.
****Danger
If gas orders are detected, the gas supply MUST be shut off at the main shut-
off valve. The local gas company or FASC should be contacted immediately to
rectify the problem.
D. Regulating Gas Pressure:** The fryer and shut-off valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply during any pressure testing of the system.
- External gas regulators are not normally required on this fryer. A safety control valve protects the fryer against pressure fluctuations. If the incoming pressure is in excess of ½” PSI (3.45 kPa/35 mbar), a step-down regulator will be required.
E. Manifold Pressure: Your local service technician should check the manifold pressure with a manometer.
- Check the rating plate for specific manifold gas pressures. Natural gas units normally require 4” W.C., and propane units normally require 11” W.C. gas pressure.
- Double-check the arrow forged into the bottom of the regulator body, which shows gas flow direction. It should point downstream towards the fryers. The air vent cap is also part of the regulator and should not be removed.
- If a vent line from the gas pressure regulator is used, it should be installed in accordance with local codes or in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-(latest edition).
F. Regulators can be adjusted in the field, but it is recommended that they
not be unless the part is known to be out of adjustment or serious pressure
fluctuations are found to exist and can be solved no other way.
G. Only qualified service personnel should make adjustments to the regulators.
H. Orifices: The fryer can be configured to operate on any available gas. The
correct safety control valve, appropriate gas orifices, and pilot burner are
installed at the factory. While the valve can be adjusted in the field, only
qualified service personnel should make any adjustments with the proper test
equipment.
**Danger**
All connections must be sealed with a joint compound suitable for the gas
being used and all connections must be tested with a solution of soapy water
before lighting any pilots.
Never use matches, candles, or any other ignition source to check for leaks.
If gas odors are detected, shut off the gas supply to the appliance at the
main shut-off valve and immediately contact the local gas company or an
authorized service agency for service.
I. Flexible Couplings, Connectors, and Casters:
-
If the fryer is to be installed with flexible couplings and/or quick-disconnect fittings, the installer must use a heavy-duty AGA design certified commercial flexible connector sized to accommodate the fryer configuration (with suitable strain reliefs), in compliance with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69-(latest edition) and Addenda Z21.69a-(latest edition). Quick disconnect devices must comply with the Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use with Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41-(latest edition).
Danger
“Dry firing” your unit will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire. Always ensure that melted shortening, cooking oil or water is in the frypot before firing the unit. -
The fryer must be restrained by means independent of the flexible coupling or connector in order to limit the movement of the fryer. Clips are located on the back panel of the fryer for the attachment of restraints.
Danger
When pressure testing incoming gas supply lines, disconnect the fryer from the gas line if the test pressure is 1/2 PSI (3.45 kPa or 14-inches water column or greater to avoid damage to the fryer’s gas piping and gas valve(s). -
If disconnection of the restraint is necessary, this restraint must be reconnected after the fryer has been returned to its originally installed position.
J. After hook-up, bleed the gas line of air to ensure that the pilot light
will ignite quickly.
**Warning
Use a diluted soap solution to find potentially dangerous gas leaks when
making new connections.
3.5 Adjustments/Adaptation To Different Gases**
A. Proper operation of Dean gas fryers requires the operator to inspect the
following adjustments in terms of
- Gas inputs and pressures.
- Voltage and polarities of electrical power supplies.
Warning
Do not attach accessories to this fryer unless the fryer is secured from
tipping. Personal injury may result.
B. Frymaster and Dean gas fryers are manufactured to use the type of gas and
pressure specified on the rating plate. When changing to a different gas,
adaptation must be performed by qualified personnel. Failure to use
qualified personnel will void the warranty.
Danger
