INSTALLATION: MILLIVOLT CONTROL FRYERS
Installation Clearances
The fryer needs clearance around it for proper operation. Adequate clearances allow for servicing and
proper burner operation. The clearances shown below are for cooker installation in combustible and non-
combustible construction.
Combustible Non-Combustible
Construction Construction
Back 6'' (15.24CM) 0'' (0CM)
Sides 6'' (15.24CM) 0'' (0CM)
Floor - Combustible 9'' (22.86CM) 9'' (22.86CM)
Counter top must be constructed of a non-combustible material for SG14C counter top fryer installations.
VENTILATION AND FIRE SAFETY SYSTEMS
Your new fryer must have proper ventilation to function safely and properly. Exhaust gas temperatures can reach
as high as 1000°F (538
0
C). Therefore, it is very important to install a fire safety system. Your ventilation system
should be designed to allow for easy cleaning. Frequent cleaning of the ventilation system and the fryer will
reduce the chances of fire.
Excessive ventilation causes drafts, which will interfere with the proper operation of the pilot and the burner.
Leave at least 18 inches (45.72CM) of open space between the fryer's flue vent opening and the intake of
the exhaust hood.
CAUTION
Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the fryer's flue
opening. Down drafts will not allow the fryer to exhaust properly and will cause
overheating which may cause permanent damage. Damage caused by down drafts
will not be covered under equipment warranty. NEVER allow anything to obstruct
the flow of combustibles or ventilation exiting from the fryer flue. DO NOT put
anything on top of the flue area.
NOTICE
NEVER connect the blower directly to the flue openings. The direct flow of air will
cause poor temperature recovery, poor ignition, inefficient operation of the fryer,
and could extinguish the pilot.
GAS CONNECTION:
NEVER supply the fryer with a gas that is not indicated on the data plate, located on the inside of the door.
To ensure peak performance and correct combustion Pitco Fryers must be supplied with an amount of
Fuel Gas sufficient to meet the rating requirements shown on the data plate, found on the inside of the
door. All gas connections must be made by a Certified Gas Service Technician. The connection must
fulfill local and national requirements.
FUEL LINE TESTING:
Since the internal gas valve of the Pitco Fryer is rated at 50 mbar maximum pressure, it is imperative that
no testinmg be done at a pressure greater than this. If it is necessary to test at a pressure greater than this,
the fryer should be isolated from the gas line so that damage to the gas valve does not occur.
INITIAL ADJUSTMENTS:
Thermocouple: The pilot is set at the factory and requires NO further adjustment.
Gas Pressure (Only when Governors are installed.): The gas pressure should be checked to ensure that
the manifold pressure reads the same pressure that is indicated on the data plate, located on the inside
cover of the door. If not it must be adjusted.
