35 SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2-5
Before connecting new pipe to your unit, the pipe must be thoroughly blown out to remove any foreign par-
ticles. If these foreign particles get into the burner and controls, they will cause improper and sometimes
dangerous operation.
1. Connect the quick-disconnect hose to the fryer quick-disconnect fitting under the front of the fryer and
to the building gas line.
NOTE: Some fryers are configured for a rigid connection to the gas supply line. These units are con-
nected to the gas supply line at the rear of the unit.
When using thread compound, use very small amounts on male threads only. Use a pipe thread com-
pound 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. This will ensure that the burner orifices
and control valve do not become clogged.
2. Open the gas supply to the fryer and check all piping, fittings, and gas connections for leaks. A soap
and water solution should be used for this purpose.
DANGER
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 fryer at the main shut-off
valve and contact the local gas company or an authorized service agency for service.
3. Close the fryer drain valve and fill the frypot with water or 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 3 of this manual.
WARNING
“Dry-firing” your unit will cause damage to the frypot. Always ensure that melted
shortening, cooking oil, or water and boil-out solution is in the frypot before firing
your unit.
