SECTION 1 - INSTALLATION
1.2 SITING
These appliances must be installed n a firm, level
fl r in a well lit p siti n.
The fryers can be p siti ned t within 75mm f a
c mpustible wall, but t all w space f r the rem val
f side panels, a clearance f ab ut 150mm sh uld
be pr vided at the back. There sh uld be a minimum
vertical clearance f 900mm ab ve the t p edge f
appliance flue t any verhanging c mbustible sur-
face.
IMPORTANT If the appliance is t be installed with
ther matching appliances f the Falc n 350 series,
the Instructi ns f r all units must be c nsulted t
determine the necessary clearance t any
c mbustible rear wall r verlying surface. S me
appliances require greater clearances than thers,
and the largest figure qu ted in the individual
Instructi ns will theref re determine the clearance
f r the c mplete suite f adj ining appliances.
1.3 VENTILATION
The appliance flue discharges vertically thr ugh the
grille at the rear f the h b. There must be n direct
c nnecti n f the flue t any mechanical extracti n
system r the utside air. Siting the appliance under a
ventilated can py is the ideal arrangement.
Adequate ventilati n, whether natural r mechanical,
must be pr vided t ensure sufficient fresh air f r
c mbusti n and f r rem val f c mbusti n pr ducts,
which may be harmful t health. Rec mmendati ns
f r ventilati n f r Catering Appliances are given in
BS.5440:2. Further, t ensure sufficient r m venti-
lati n, guidance n the v lume f ventilati n air

service adjustment assuming therm stat is n t
therwise faulty.
p) Once satisfied that safety therm stat is functi ning
c rrectly, c ntr l therm stat sens r must be
re-l cated in n rmal p siti n. A reversal f
pr cedures (a) t (h) will achieve this c nditi n.
