1.1.1 Principles of Operation
The incoming gas flows through orifices and is mixed with air in the burners to create the correct
ratio for proper combustion. The mixture is ignited at the front end of each heat tube by the pilot
light. Internal diffusers slow the flame as it goes through the burner tube. This slow, turbulent
flame increases heat transfer to the walls of the tubes to heat the oil more efficiently.
This appliance is only for professional use and shall be used by qualified personnel only, as
defined in Section 1.6.
NOTE: The Frymaster FQG80T/100T/120T fryer requires a start-up, demonstration and

tional codes or regulations, installation and operation shall comply with the codes or regula-
tions in force in the country in which the equipment is installed.
Service may be obtained by contacting your local Frymaster Dean Factory Authorized Ser-
vicer.
DANGER
Building codes prohibit a fryer with its open tank of hot oil being installed beside an
open flame of any type, including those of broilers and ranges.
Upon arrival, inspect the fryer carefully for visible or concealed damage. (See Shipping Damage
Claim Procedure in Section 1.7 of this manual.)
2.1.1 Clearance and Ventilation
The fryer(s) must be installed with a 6” (150 mm) clearance at both sides and back when installed
adjacent to combustible construction; no clearance is required when installed adjacent to
noncombustible construction. A minimum of 24” (600 mm) clearance should be provided at the
front of the fryer.
The fryer(s) must be installed on non-combustible floors equipped with factory-supplied 5 in. (13
cm) casters.

2-2
DANGER
The appliance area must be kept free and clear of combustible material at all times.
WARNING
Do not block the area around the base or under the fryers.
DANGER
No structural material on the fryer should be altered or removed to accommodate
placement of the fryer under a hood. Questions? Call the Frymaster Dean Service Hot-
line at 1-800-551-8633.
One of the most important considerations of efficient fryer operation is ventilation. Make sure the
fryer is installed so that products of combustion are removed efficiently, and that the kitchen
ventilation system does not produce drafts that interfere with burner operation.
A commercial, heavy-duty fryer must vent its combustion wastes to the outside of the building. A
deep-fat fryer must be installed under a powered exhaust hood, as exhaust gas temperatures are
approximately 650°F (343°C). Check air movement during installation. Strong exhaust fans in the
exhaust hood or in the overall air conditioning system can produce slight air drafts in the room.
Do not place the fryer’s flue outlet directly into the plenum of the hood, as it will affect the gas
combustion of the fryer. The fryer flue opening must not be placed close to the intake of the
exhaust fan, and the fryer must never have its flue extended in a “chimney” fashion. An extended
flue will change the combustion characteristics of the fryer, causing longer recovery time. It also
frequently causes delayed ignition. To provide the airflow necessary for good combustion and
burner operation, the areas surrounding the fryer front, sides, and rear must be kept clear and
unobstructed.
DANGER
This appliance must be installed with sufficient ventilation to prevent the occurrence of
unacceptable concentrations of substances harmful to the health of personnel in the
room in which it is installed.
Fryers must be installed in an area with an adequate air supply and adequate ventilation. Adequate
distances must be maintained from the flue outlet of the fryer to the lower edge of the ventilation
filter bank. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45º. Place a drip tray beneath the lowest edge
of the filter. For U.S. installation, NFPA standard No. 96 states, “A minimum distance of 18 in. (450
mm) should be maintained between the flue outlet and the lower edge of the grease filter.”
Frymaster recommends that the minimum distance be 24 in. (600 mm) from the flue outlet to the bottom
edge of the filter when the appliance consumes more than 120,000 BTU per hour.
For installations in the United States, information on construction and installation of ventilating
hoods can be found in the NFPA standard cited above. When installing any type of fryer, Standard
No. 96 of the National Fire Protection Association must be followed implicitly.

2-3
The duct system, the hood and filter bank must be cleaned on a regular basis and kept free of
grease according to the NFPA Standard No. 96.
A copy of the standard may be obtained from the National Fire Protection Association, Battery
March Park, Quincy, MA 02269 or at www.NFPA.org.
Never use the interior of the fryer cabinet for storage or store items on shelving over or behind the
fryer. Exhaust temperatures can exceed 650°F (343°C) and may damage or melt items stored in or
near the fryer.
2.1.2 National Code Requirements
The type of gas for which the fryer is equipped is stamped on the data plate attached to the inside
of the fryer door. Connect a fryer stamped “NAT” only to natural gas, those stamped “PRO” only to
propane gas, and those stamped “MFG” only to manufactured gas.
Installation shall be made with a gas connector that complies with national and local codes, and,
where applicable, CE or UKCA codes. Quick-disconnect devices, if used, shall likewise comply with
national, local, and, if applicable, CE or UKCA codes. In the absence of local codes, installation must
conform to the national Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, ANSIZ83.11, NFPA96,211 or the
Natural Gas and Propane Installation code, CSA B149.1, as applicable including:
1. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected form the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of ½ psi
(3.5 kPa).
2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual
manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
2.1.3 Power Requirements
Frymaster FQG80T/100T/120T gas fryers require 120VAC 60 Hz or 230VAC single-phase 50 Hz
(International) electrical service and are equipped with a 16-3 SJT grounded flexible power cord for
a direct connection to the power supply. Amperage draw for each unit depends on the accessories
supplied with the unit/system.
DANGER
This appliance must be connected to a power supply having the same voltage and phase
as specified on the rating plate located on the inside of the appliance door.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similar-
ly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
2.1.4 Electrical Grounding Requirements
All electrically operated appliances must be grounded in accordance with all applicable national
and local codes, and, where applicable, CE or UKCA codes. In the absence of local codes, the

2-4
appliance must be grounded in accordance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, or the
Canadian Electrical Code, CSA C22.2, as applicable. All units (cord connected or permanently
connected) should be connected to a grounded power supply system. A wiring diagram is located
on the inside of the fryer door. Refer to the rating plate on the inside of the fryer door for proper
voltages.
The equipotential grounding lug allows all the equipment in the same location to be
electrically connected to ensure there is no electrical potential difference between
the units, which could be hazardous.

DANGER
When pressure-testing incoming gas supply lines, disconnect the fryer from the gas line
if the test pressure is ½" PSI [3.45 kPa (14 inches W.C.)] or greater to avoid damage to the
fryer’s gas piping and gas valve(s).

2-8
NOTE: External gas regulators are not normally required on this fryer. A safety control valve pro-
tects the fryer against pressure fluctuations. If the incoming pressure is in excess of ½" PSI (3.45
kPa/35 mbar), a step-down regulator is required.
2.5 Connection to Gas Line
DANGER
Before connecting new pipe to this appliance, the pipe must be blown out thoroughly to
remove all foreign material. Foreign material in the burner and gas controls will cause
improper and dangerous operation.
DANGER
The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test pressures in excess of ½
PSI (3.45 kPa, 13.84 inches W.C.) to avoid damage to the fryer’s gas tubes and gas
valve(s).
DANGER
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individ-
ual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or less than ½ PSI (3.45 kPa, 13.84 inches W.C.)
DANGER
“Dry-firing” your unit will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire. Always en-
sure that cooking oil or water is in the frypot before firing the unit.
DANGER
All connections must be sealed with a joint compound suitable for the gas being used
and all connections must be tested with a solution of soapy water before lighting any
pilots. Never use matches, candles, or any other ignition source to check for leaks. If
gas odors are detected, shut off the gas supply to the appliance at the main shut-off
valve and immediately contact the local gas company or an authorized service agency
for service.
The size of the gas line used for
installation is very important. If the line is
too small, the gas pressure at the burner
manifold will be low. This may cause slow
recovery and delayed ignition. The
incoming gas supply line should be a
minimum of 1½” (38 mm) in diameter.
Refer to the chart (right) for the minimum
sizes of connection piping.
