CAUTION: Main burners shall not be "ON" when the vessel is empty. During

testing, fill the vessel with liquid (oil or water) till above the heat transfer tubes.

FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS, CONNECTORS AND CASTERS

If the unit is to be installed with casters, the installation shall be made with a connector that complies

with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or Connectors for

Moveable Gas Appliances, CAN/CGA-6.16, and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the

Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41, or Quick Disconnect

Devices for Use with Gas Fuel CAN1-6.9. Locking front casters are provided to limit the movement of

the appliance without depending on the connector or associated piping. A suitable strain relief must be

installed with the flexible connector.

Restraining device may be attached to the back frame/panel of the unit.

All connections must be sealed with a joint compound suitable for LP gas and all connections must be

tested with a soapy water solution before lighting pilots.

PREPARATION FOR USE

New units have a coating of oil on the interior of the vessel. Remove this coating with hot soapy water,

washing soda, or any other grease dissolving liquid. Rinse thoroughly and drain until all residues are

removed. Wipe dry.

Clean the baskets, crumb screen.

PILOT OPERATION

Check and make sure the pilot is lit. If not, refer to previous section for lighting the pilot.

BEFORE TURNING THE BURNERS ON

1. Fill the vessel with liquid shortening or oil up to the "oil level" marking.

2. Block of solid shortening should not be melted by setting it on top of tubes. This will damage the

vessel and scorch fat. Either melt it first on another appliance or cut into small pieces and pack

tightly below, between and above the burner tubes, without leaving any air spaces around the

tubes. Turn the burners "ON" for about 10 seconds and turn "OFF" for about a minute. Repeat this

"ON-OFF" cycle until all the shortening is melted. If scorching occurs, lower the "ON" time.

3. Do not overfill the vessel.

MAIN BURNER OPERATION

After the vessel is filled with liquid shortening or oil, set the gas cock dial on the combination gas valve

to the "ON" position.

Turn the thermostat to desired temperature setting.

DAILY SHUT-DOWN

At the end of the day, turn the gas cock 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.
