off the skid.
2.3.2 INSTALLATION OF LEGS
LEGS ASSEMBLY:
Mount Legs on bottom of product, the appliance may be further leveled with adjustment in
the foot of the leg.

4asberprofessional.com

2.4 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.
2.4.1 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.
2.4.2 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.
2.4.3 THIS APPLIANCE IS EQUIPPED FOR NATURAL GAS.
This appliance is equipped with orifices sized (# 36) for operation with natural gas.
For conversion to LP (PROPANE) gas see instruction plate in the appliance. Gas conversion
must be performed by qualified or authorized personnel. Orifices (#52) necessary for LP
(PROPANE) and regulator for conversion are provided on accessory box.

2.4.4 PRESSURE REGULATOR CONVERSION
Failure to install the pressure regulator will void the appliance warranty
The fryer needs to be restrained to prevent tipping when installed in order to avoid the
splashing of hot liquid. Install the fryer connection to a battery of appliances or installing the
fryer in an alcove, or by separate means, such as adequate ties
2.5 Location
• Installation of the equipment should be performed by qualified, certified, and authorized personnel
who are familiar and experienced with local installation codes.
• Before Installation please read instructions completely and carefully.
• Do not remove permanently affixed labels, warnings or plates from the product.
• Please observe all local and national codes and ordinances
• Installation must conform with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, the National
Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition)
• The appliance must be isolated from gas supply piping system, by closing its individual manual shut
off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressure equal to or less
than ½ psi (3.45kpa)
A. Remove cap and snap out plastic plunger from bottom of cap.
B. Turn plunger over and snap back in original location.
C. Re-insert the cap assembly into the regulator and tighten.

2.6 CLEARANCES
The appliance area must be kept free and clear of all combustibles
SRR, SRMR Series products are for installation in Non-Combustible locations only.

2.7 AIR SUPPLY & VENTILATION
The area in front of, around and above the appliance must be kept clear to avoid any obstruction of the
flow of combustion and ventilation air.
Adequate clearance must be maintained around the appliance for easy servicing. Provision should be
made for any commercial, heavy-duty cooking appliance exhaust combustion waste products to the
outside of the building. Usual practice is to place the appliance under an exhaust hood, which should be
constructed in accordance to the local codes. Strong exhaust fans in this hood or in the overall air
conditioning system can produce a slight vacuum in the room and / or cause air drafts, either of which
can interfere with the pilot or burner performance and could be difficult to diagnose. Air movement
should be checked during installation. Air openings or baffles may have to be provided in the room, if
pilot or burner outage problem persists.

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
OPEN BURNERS / HOT PLATES
1. Remove all top grates.
2. Lift off the burners heads and venturies by raising the head slightly, sliding to the rear
and lifting upwards.
3. Wash off the above in hot soapy water.
4. Re-install parts in the reverse order.
GRIDDLES
1. Scrape with a nylon griddle scraper to remove the cooked spills. When absolutely
necessary use a fine grained stone to scrape.
2. Wipe away any griddle stone dust and food particles with burlap.
3. Wash with hot, soapy water, and then rinse with vinegar and water.
4. Rinse again with clear water.
5. Re-oil with shortening or liquid frying compound.
6. DO NOT FLOOD A HOT GRIDDLE WITH COLD WATER. This could cause warping
and griddle plate to crack.
4.1.2 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.
Contact the factory, factory representative or a local service company to perform all Maintenance and
Service Repairs.
