OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
UNPACKING AND ASSEMBLY
After unpacking your UNIVERSAL GAS FRYER, set it on a counter where you intend to use it.
Remove all tape.
Observe the following clearances:
Front and sides: 10 inches
Back and front: 10 inches
Ensure proper clearances for air supply and maintenance.
NOTE:
Locate the fryer on a base that is strong enough to safely support the fryer when full of oil. The
base should be rated for a minimum of 150 lbs. (This is the approximate weight of the fryer when
full of oil). To restrain fryer use 3/8-16 bolts through the counter into tapped holes in the bottom of
the fryer.
INSTALLATION
When installing your GAS FUNNEL CAKE FRYER, you must conform with local codes, or in the
absence of local codes, to National Fuel Gas code, ANSI Z223.1 (latest edition).
NOTE:
Some local codes may require ventilation hoods or automatic fire systems. During any pressure
testing of the gas supply piping system at pressure equal to or less than ½ psig (3.45 kPa), the
appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve. After installation, all gas connections must be checked for leaks with a soap
solution.
Do not use a match or flame to check for leaks – you may cause a fire or explosion!
TYPES OF GAS
The data plate is marked at the factory to indicate the type of gas the appliance uses. The
8065NS is designed for Propane only, and should be operated on a 40# propane cylinder.
ALTITUDE RANGE
The factory has sized the orifices for elevations up to 2000 feet above sea level. For high altitude
applications, please contact Gold Medal customer service.
Gas is safe when used properly, but can be very dangerous when used improperly. We suggest
that installation be carefully made by qualified personnel only. Gas companies have competent
service personnel to provide safe installation.

UNIVERSAL GAS FRYER 5 MODEL #8065NS
GAS PRESSURE
We have determined that optimum frying occurs when the gas pressure is adequate. For propane
gas, we recommend a manifold pressure setting of 11 inches of water column.
The pressure is measured at the appliance when the main burner is ignited.
LIGHTING AND SHUT DOWN INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these steps to light your unit:
1. Turn the gas safety valve to the “PILOT” position.
2. Depress the safety valve button. While holding the safety valve button in, depress the red
igniter button and hold in until pilot remains lit. Continue holding safety valve button for 30-45
seconds then release.
3. Turn the gas safety valve handle to the “ON” position. The main burner will ignite.
4. To extinguish both the pilot and the main burner flames, turn the safety valve handle to the
“OFF” position.
5. Should the burner become extinguished because of the high-limit tripping, shut off the gas
supply until the fryer cools down, then re-ignite.
6. Note: The igniter is operated by (1) AA Battery (Included). If the igniter does not work, see
page 11 for battery replacement instructions. We recommend that the battery be replaced
annually.
If the pilot is turned off, a 5-minute shutdown period is required before relighting.
FILLING THE TANK
The tank will hold 50 lbs. of cooking oil. The surface on this amount of oil will be approximately 6
inches above the bottom of the tank. When cooking corn dogs, 75 lbs. of cooking oil is required.
This will bring the oil level to approximately 9 inches above the bottom of the tank.
NOTE:
Cooking oil expands upon heating. Do not overfill the tank.

Dial type thermometer – Item # 4300
