2.5 Gas Connections
The gas supply (service) line must be the same size or greater than the inlet line of the appliance. ASBER
appliances use a ¾” NPT inlet.
Pipe joint compound must be resistive to Natural or LP gas.
For equipment using propane gas do not install supply lines with a diameter less than ½ under any
circumstances.
All connections must be tested with a soapy water solution before lighting any pilots.
The appliance shall be connected to the fuel gas for which it was designed. No attempt shall be made to
convert the appliance from the gas specified on the rating plate for use with a different gas without
consulting the installation instructions, the serving gas supplier, or the appliance manufacturer for
complete instructions.
2.5.1 MANUAL SHUT OFF VALVE
This installer supplied valve must be in the gas service line ahead of the appliance regulator in
the gas stream and in a position accessible in the event of an emergency.
2.5.2 PRESSURE REGULATOR
Commercial cooking equipment must have a pressure regulator on the incoming service line for
safe and efficient operation; the gas pressure regulator supplied by ASBER must be installed at
the gas inlet of each piece of equipment.
The regulators supplied along with ASBER appliances, will have 3/4”inlet/outlet openings and are
adjusted at the factory for 5” WC (natural gas) or 10” WC (propane gas) depending on customer’s
ordering instructions.
Prior to connecting the regulator, check the incoming line pressure, as these regulators can only
withstand a maximum pressure of ½” PSI (14”WC). If the line pressure is beyond this limit, a step
down regulator will be required.
The arrow shown on the bottom of the regulator body shows the gas flow direction, it should
point downstream to the appliance. The BLUE air vent cap on the top is part of the regulator and
should not be removed.
Any adjustments to the regulator should be made by qualified service personnel only with the
proper equipment.
2.5.3 THIS APPLIANCE IS EQUIPPED FOR NATURAL GAS.

MAINTENANCE
4.1 Cleaning
4.1 CLEANING
For continued performance efficiency and longevity of your Fryer it is essential to carry out a good
maintenance program.
4.1.1 DAILY
1. Remove and wash thoroughly all “loose” parts (basket hanger, baskets, crumb screen, etc.).
2. Wipe clean all exterior and interior accessible surfaces and parts.
3. Filter the liquid oil/shortening at the end of the day, replace if necessary. If fryer is under
heavy use, filter more often during the day.
4. Clean all the fryer tank with a long brush (even the capillary connections)
4.1.2 WEEKLY
1. Shut down the fryer by turning off the gas tap dial and power supply, where applicable.
2. Drain the fryer in a filter pan or steel container. Flush out sediments at the bottom of the
vessel with liquid oil.
3. Close the drain valve and fill the vessel with a mixture of boil-out solution and water.
4. Relight the pilot and turn on the burners.
5. When the solution starts to boil, turn off the thermostat and let the vessel soak to soften
the deposit and/or carbon spots. (Approximately 1 hour).
6. Drain off solution, scrub the insides with brush and rinse thoroughly.
7. Repeat the cleaning procedure, if necessary.
8. Wipe dry with soft towels and refill with clean oil/shortening.
4.1.3 STAINLESS STEEL PARTS
Do not use steel wool, abrasive cloths, cleansers or powders to clean stainless steel surfaces. All
stainless steel parts should be wiped regularly with hot soapy water during the day and a
stainless steel liquid cleaner at the end of the day. To remove encrusted materials, soak in hot
water to loosen the material, and then use a wood or nylon scraper. NOT USE a metal knife,
spatula, or any other metal tool to scrape stainless steel. Scratches are almost impossible to
remove.
WARNING: All water must be removed before adding oil or shortening.
Not doing so can result in splattering of hot oil.
Contact the factory, factory representative or a local service company to perform all Maintenance and
Service Repairs.
