Frymaster 1814 Series Gas Fryers
Chapter 3: Installation
3-7
When using thread compound, use very small amounts on male threads only. Use
a pipe thread compound that is not affected by the chemical action of LP gases
(Loctite™ PST56765 Sealant is one such compound). DO NOT apply compound
to the first two threads. Doing so may allow some of the compound to enter the
gas stream, resulting in clogging of burner orifices and/or the control valve.
2. Open the gas supply to the fryer and check all piping, fittings, and gas connections for leaks with
a leak detection fluid.
3. Close the fryer drain valve and fill the frypot with water and boil-out solution to the bottom
OIL LEVEL line at the rear of the frypot. Light the fryer and perform the boil-out procedures
that are described in the “Lighting Instructions” and “Boiling Out the Frypot” topics found in
Chapter 4 of this manual.
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 your
unit.
4. The burner manifold pressure should be checked at this time by the local gas company or an
authorized service agent. The tables below and on the following page list the burner manifold gas
pressures for the various gas types that can be used with this equipment.
5. Check the programmed temperature or solid-state (analog) controller thermostat setting. (Refer
to the separate controller manual furnished with your unit for the setpoint programming
instructions for your particular controller.)

components may result in fire or explosion. NEVER ATTACH THIS APPLIANCE TO A
GAS SUPPLY FOR WHICH IT IS NOT CONFIGURED!
Conversion of this appliance from one type of gas to another should only be
performed by qualified, licensed, and authorized installation or service personnel, as
