All containers should be examined for damage before and during unloading. The freight carrier has
assumed responsibility for safe transit and delivery. If damaged equipment is received, either apparent or
concealed, a claim must be made with the delivering carrier.
Apparent damage or loss must be noted on the freight bill at the time of delivery. The freight bill must then
be signed by the carrier representative (Driver). If the bill is not signed, the carrier may refuse the claim.
The carrier can supply the necessary forms.
A request for inspection must be made to the carrier within 15 days if there is concealed damage or loss
that is not apparent until after the equipment is uncrated. The carrier should arrange an inspection.
Be certain to hold all contents plus all packing material.
1. Uncrate carefully. Report any hidden damage to the freight carrier IMMEDIATELY.
2. Do not remove any tags or labels until unit is installed and working properly.
WARNING:
MAXIMUM INCOMING PRESSURE CANNOT EXCEED ½ P.S.I. OR 13” WATER COLUMN
DAMAGE CAN AND WILL RESULT IF PRESSURE IS EXCEEDED!

Step #2: Install the Casters and Restraints
A set of casters is packed with the fryer. Mounting fasteners are pre-mounted on
the base plates. (Legs, not supplied, can be added as an optional accessory)
1. Raise fryer sufficiently to allow casters to be screwed into the base plate. For
safety, “shore up” and support the fryer with an adequate blocking arrangement
strong enough to support the load.
2. Screw the four casters to the plate on the bottom of the fryer. Casters have a
locking-brake should be attached under the front of the fryer. Non-Swivel caster
to the rear of the fryer
3. Lower the fryer gently. Never drop or allow the fryer to fall.
4. When installing legs use a spirit level to make sure that the fryer is level. The
tubular-end of each leg, can be screwed in or out to lower or raise each corner
of the fryer.
5. Attach restraints as required by local codes.
Unit must be level to assure maximum performance and proper ventilation. Improper leveling may void warranty.
This appliance must be installed with the casters supplied, a connector complying with either ANSI Z21.69
CSA 6.16 and a quick-disconnect device complying with ANSI Z21.41 CSA 6.9. It must also be installed
with restraining means to guard against transmission of strain to the connector, as specified in the
appliance manufacturer instructions.
This appliance must be installed with the casters supplied, a connector complying with either ANSI Z21.69
or CAN/CGA-6.16 and a quick disconnect device complying with either ANSI Z21.41 or CAN1-6.9. It must
also be installed with restraining means to guard against transmission of strain to the connector, as
specified in the appliance manufacturer's instructions.
All fryers must be restrained to prevent tipping in order to avoid the splashing of hot liquid. The means of
restraint may be the manner of installation.

Step #3: Flue Installation
1. Unpack the flue box and flue wrap
2. Slide the flue box over the flue and secure it with the two self-tapping screws using a 5/16” socket
3. Slide the flue wrap over the flue. 4. Secure it with four self-tapping screws, two on the
back and one on each side using a 5/16” socket.

IRON RANGE FLOOR MODEL GAS FRYERS OWNER’S/INSTALLER MANUAL
For Warranty Service Call 866-359-7378 Revision IR20191009 Page 8
Step #4: Check Clearances and Ventilation
Select a firm, level location for your fryer. Leave clearance, whenever possible, so that access from the
rear is possible to permit cleaning. If the unit is to be set on non-combustible flooring, such as a concrete
slab, 3 inches minimum toe room must be provided to prevent restriction of the air opening in the bottom of
the unit.
There must be adequate clearance between fryer(s) and construction. Clearance must also be provided
in front for servicing and for operation.
Minimum Clearances from Combustible Construction:
Sides: Six (6) Inches
Rear: Six (6) Inches
ALL IRON RANGE FRYERS SHALL BE INSTALLED WITH AT LEAST A 16 INCH SPACE BETWEEN
THE FRYER AND SURFACE FLAMES FROM ADJACENT EQUIPMENT. A FLAME GUARD IS
ACCEPTABLE IF ALLOWED UNDER LOCAL CODE.
“NOT SUITABEL FOR INSTALLATION ON COMBUSTIBLE FLOORS”
No additional side and rear clearance is required for service as the fryer is serviceable from the front.
Improper ventilation can result in personal injury or death. Ventilation that fails to properly remove flue
products can cause headaches, drowsiness, nausea, or could result in death.
Unit Must be installed under a ventilation hood.
All units must be installed in such a manner that the flow of combustion and ventilation air is not
obstructed. Provisions for adequate air supply must also be provided. Do NOT obstruct the bottom front
of the unit, as combustion air enters through this area. Be sure to inspect and clean the ventilation system
according to the ventilation equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
Due to the variety of problems that can be caused by outside weather conditions, venting by canopies or
wall fans is preferred over any type of direct venting. It is recommended that a canopy extend 6" past the
appliance and the bottom edge be located 6'6" from the floor. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45°
or more from the horizontal. This position prevents dripping of grease and facilitates collecting the run-off
grease into a drip pan, usually installed with a filter or Vent Hood. A strong exhaust fan tends to create a
vacuum in the room and may interfere with burner performance or may extinguish pilot flames. Fresh air
openings approximately equal to the fan area will relieve such a vacuum. In case of unsatisfactory
performance on any appliance, check the appliance with the exhaust fan in the “OFF” position. Do this only
long enough to check equipment performance, then turn hood back on and let it run to remove any exhaust
that may have accumulated during the test.
The exhaust fan should be installed at least 2 feet above the vent opening at the top of the fryer. Make sure
all ventilation meets local code requirement.
**This unit is not intended to be connected directly to an outside flue.

For Warranty Service Call 866-359-7378 Revision IR20191009 Page 9
Step #5: Gas Connection
A 3/4" male NPT line for the gas connection is located near the lower right rear corner of the fryer. The
serial plate (located inside the front door of the fryer) indicates the type of gas the unit is equipped to burn
(natural gas or propane). The fryer should be connected ONLY to the type of gas for which it is equipped.
A circuit diagram is located inside the front door of the fryer.
All IRON RANGE equipment is adjusted at the factory; however, pilot height should be checked at
installation and adjusted, if necessary.
For orifice sizes and pressure regulator settings, see the chart on page 4. If the fryer is being installed at
over 2,000 feet altitude and that information was not specified when ordered, contact the appropriate
authorized IRON RANGE Service Representative or the IRON RANGE Service Department. Failure to
install with proper orifice sizing will result in poor performance and may void the warranty.
If applicable, the vent line from the gas appliance pressure regulator shall be installed to the outdoors in
accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1, Natural Gas Installation Code, CAN/CGA-B149.1, or the Propane Installation Code, CAN/CGA-
B149.2, as applicable.
An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the volume of gas
necessary for satisfactory performance. A combination gas valve and pressure regulator, which is provided
with each unit, is set to maintain a 4" W.C. manifold pressure for natural gas or 10.0" W.C. manifold
pressure for propane gas. However, to maintain these conditions the pressure on the supply line, when all
units are operating simultaneously, should not drop below 7" W.C. for natural gas or 11" W.C. for propane
gas. Fluctuations of more than 25% on natural gas or 10% on propane gas will create problems and affect
burner operating characteristics. A 1/8" tap to measure the manifold pressure is located on the combination
gas valve and on the burner manifold, which is on the burner manifold located directly below the burners
inside the cabinet.
Purge the supply line to clean out dust, dirt, or other foreign matter before connecting the line to the unit.
It is recommended that an individual manual shutoff valve be installed in the gas supply line to the unit.
Use pipe joint compound that is suitable for use with both natural and LP gas on all threaded connections.
ALL PIPE JOINTS AND CONNECTIONS MUST BE TESTED THOROUGHLY FOR GAS LEAKS. USE
ONLY SOAPY WATER FOR TESTING ON ALL GASES. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK
FOR GAS LEAKS. ALL CONNECTIONS MUST BE CHECKED FOR LEAKS AFTER THE UNIT HAS
BEEN PUT INTO OPERATION. TEST PRESSURE SHOULD NOT EXCEED 12" W.C.
THIS APPLIANCE AND ITS INDIVIDUAL COMBINATION GAS VALVE MUST BE DISCONNECTED
FROM THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM DURING ANY PRESSURE TESTING OF THAT SYSTEM
AT TEST PRESSURES IN EXCESS OF 14”WC (1/2 PSIG or 3.45 kPa).
If the incoming gas pressure is in excess of 14"WC (1/2PSI, 3.45 kPa), a proper step-down regulator will
be required.

IRON RANGE FLOOR MODEL GAS FRYERS OWNER’S/INSTALLER MANUAL
For Warranty Service Call 866-359-7378 Revision IR20191009 Page 10
Step #5: Gas Connection (Continued)
Connect the gas supply directly to the 3/4" male NPT connector located near the lower left rear
corner of the fryer. Whentightening the supply pipe, be sure to hold the mating connector extending
from the unit securely with a wrench. This willprevent any damage or distortion tothe internal piping
and controls of the unit.
Checking For Gas Leaks: Using a gas leak detector or a soapy water solution is recommended
for locating gas leaks. Matches, candle flame, or other sources of ignition shall not be used for
this purpose. Check entire piping system including the internal piping and Pipe Union inside
of the fryer for leaks. DO NOT use an open flame to check for leaks. Check all gas piping
for leaks with a soap and water solution before operating the unit.
After connecting the gas supply, check again that the fryer is level. Use a long spirit level four ways;
across the front and rear of the frypot, and along each edge.
Do not restrict the flow of gas. Use only commercially approved gas appliance
connectors OR flexible hoses! Non-commercial connectors or flexible hoses
will void your warranty.

OPERATION
NEVER ATTEMPT TO MELT A SOLID BLOCK OF SHORTENING ON TOP OF THE HEAT TUBES.
NEVER START THE BURNERS WHEN THE FRYPOT IS EMPTY. THIS WILL CAUSE CRACKED
SEAM WELDS AND YOUR FRYER WILL LEAK COOKING OIL, THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION
FILLING THE FRYPOT
1. Close drain valve completely before filling the frypot.
2. When the fryer is new, fill the frypot with water and clean thoroughly (see “Weekly Cleaning” on
page 14) in order to remove protective coatings and any foreign matter.
3. The recommended solid shortening capacity for the frypot (40, 50 or 75lbs) is described on the
serial plate (which is located inside the front door).
4. Remove the basket support frame when filling the frypot with solid shortening.
5. When solid shortening is used, be careful not to bend, break, or twist the thin capillary wires of the
sensing elements located in the frypot.
6. Pack solid shortening into the zone below the tubes, all spaces between the tubes, and at least an
inch above the top of the tubes before lighting the fryer. If any air spaces are left around the heat
tube surfaces when the heat is turned on, the tube surfaces will become red hot, burn the solid
shortening, weaken the frypot, and could result in a fire.
7. To prevent burning or scorching the solid shortening, keep the thermostat set at the lowest
temperature until all the solid shortening between and above the tubes has been melted. Additional
solid shortening can then be added until the desired frying depth has been reached.
8. Replace the basket support frame over the frypot heat tubes.

IF YOU SMELL GAS DURING THE LIGHTING PROCEDURE, IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE GAS SUPPLY
UNTIL THE LEAK HAS BEEN CORRECTED!
Lighting the Pilot
Open the burner compartment door and do the following:
1. Turn thermostat to “OFF”
2. Press down the knob of the combination gas valve, turn it counterclockwise to the “PILOT” position
(shown), and continue to press the knob down.
3. While pressing the knob down, use a lit match to ignite the pilot. Continue to press the knob down
for about 30 seconds. If the pilot does not stay lit when the knob is released, repeat the lighting
procedure and keep the knob down longer. Adjustment of pilot flame may be necessary.
4. When the pilot stays lit, turn the knob counterclockwise to the “ON” position. Do not press down on
the knob in this step.
5. Do NOT turn the thermostat “ON” until the frypot is filled with oil or solid shortening.
6. Once the frypot is filled with shortening, set the thermostat to the desired temperature.
Pilot Burner Adjustment
1. Remove pilot adjustment cap.
2. Adjust pilot key to provide properly sized flame on the thermopile.
The flame should cover the upper 3/8” of the tip of thermopile.
3. Replace pilot adjustment cap.
RELIGHTING
In the event of a main burner ignition failure, a five minute purge period must be observed prior to re-
establishing the ignition source.
1. Shut off all gas.
2. Wait five minutes.
3. Follow the “Lighting” procedure described above.

IRON RANGE FLOOR MODEL GAS FRYERS OWNER’S/INSTALLER MANUAL
For Warranty Service Call 866-359-7378 Revision IR20191009 Page 13
AUTOMATIC PILOT VALVE
The Automatic Pilot Valve provides an automatic safety shutoff for the fryer when the pilot flame is
extinguished. When the pilot flame is burning, the valve is held open electromagnetically by the electrical
current from a thermopile in the pilot flame. When the pilot flame goes out, generation of current ceases
and the valve closes automatically.
HIGH LIMIT CONTROL
IRON RANGE Fryers are equipped with a secondary heat control that prevents the oil temperature from
rising above 450°F. (Because of the accuracy tolerance of the sensor, the oil temperature may reach as
high as 475°F.)
In the event the fryer shuts down due to this condition, the oil must be cooled to below 400°F before the
pilot burner can be re-ignited. When the oil has cooled, use the “Lighting” procedure on page 12 to place
the fryer back in operation. If the problem persists, contact your IRON RANGE Service Representative or
the IRON RANGE Service Department.
COOKING HINTS
USER TIPS
•Smoking oil means that the temperature is too high, or that the oil has broken down. Time to filter or
replace.
•Gum in frypot denotes a need for thorough cleaning (see “Weekly Cleaning” on page 14)
•Use different oil for oily foods (mackerel, nutmeg, etc.) other than for foods with water-soluble
flavors (potatoes, onions, etc.).
•Taste cool oil for quality. Replace it regularly.
•Remember, good oil produces good food.

CLEANING
IRON RANGE equipment is constructed with the best quality materials and is designed to provide durable
service when properly maintained. To expect the best performance, your equipment must be maintained in
good condition and cleaned daily. Naturally, the frequency and extent of cleaning depends on the amount
and degree of usage.
Following daily and more extensive periodic maintenance procedures will increase the life of your
equipment. Climatic conditions (e.g., salt air) may result in the need for more thorough and more frequent
cleaning in order to keep equipment performing at optimal levels.
: BURN HAZARD
If necessary to move the fryer for cleaning, etc., allow to completely cool, drain the oil first to avoid death
or serious injury.
If disconnection of the restraint is necessary to move the appliance for cleaning, etc., reconnect it when
the appliance is moved to its originally installed position.
DAILY CLEANING
1. Turn thermostat knob to “OFF” position.
2. Place hot-oil safe container under the drain and drain the frypot completely.
3. Remove the basket support frame (if applicable) and flush out any sediment remaining in the frypot
with a little hot oil.
4. Wipe off the basket support frame and the inside of the frypot with a clean cloth.
SOME AREAS OF THE FRYPOT MAY BE HOT!
5. Close drain valve and strain the oil back into the frypot through several thicknesses of cheesecloth,
or filter it back using a filter machine.
6. Replace the basket support frame (if applicable)
7. Add oil or shortening to MIN oil level mark on rear of frypot.
8. To resume cooking, turn the combination gas valve knob to “ON” position.
WEEKLY CLEANING
1. Follow steps 1 through 4 of the Daily Cleaning procedures (see previous section).
2. Close drain valve and fill frypot with a solution of warm water and boil-out compound.
3. Relight the fryer and bring the solution to a gentle boil for at least five minutes.
4. Turn off main burners and let the solution stand until the gum deposits are softened and the carbon
spots and burned grease spots can be rubbed off.
5. Scrub the frypot walls and heat tubes, then drain out frypot and rinse it with clean water.
6. Refill the frypot with clean water and boil again.
7. Turn off gas and drain and rinse well until clean.
8. Wipe dry with a clean cloth.
9. Refill as specified in the “Filling the Frypot” section (see page 12).

IRON RANGE FLOOR MODEL GAS FRYERS OWNER’S/INSTALLER MANUAL

MONTHLY CLEANING
1. Perform the Weekly Cleaning procedure (see previous section).
2. Clean around burner and orifices if lint has accumulated.
3. Visually check that burner carry-over ports are unobstructed.
CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
To remove normal dirt, grease and product residue from stainless steel use ordinary soap and water (with
or without detergent) applied with a sponge or cloth. Dry thoroughly with a clean cloth. Never use vinegar
or any corrosive cleaner.
To remove grease and food splatter or condensed vapors that have baked on the equipment apply
cleanser to a damp cloth or sponge and rub cleanser on the metal in the direction of the polishing lines on
the metal. Rubbing cleanser, as gently as possible, in the direction of the polished lines will not mar the
finish of the stainless steel. NEVER RUB WITH A CIRCULAR MOTION. Soil and burnt deposits that do not
respond to the above procedure can usually be removed by rubbing the surface with SCOTCH-BRITE
scouring pads or STAINLESS scouring pads. DO NOT USE ORDINARY STEEL WOOL, as any particles
left on the surface will rust and further spoil the appearance of the finish. NEVER USE A WIRE BRUSH,
STEEL SCOURING PADS (EXCEPT STAINLESS), SCRAPER, FILE OR OTHER STEEL TOOLS.
Surfaces that are marred collect dirt more rapidly and become more difficult to clean. Marring also
increases the possibility of corrosive attack. Refinishing may then be required.
Darkened areas, called “heat tint,” sometimes appear on stainless steel surfaces where the area has been
subjected to excessive heat. These darkened areas are caused by thickening of the protective surface of
the stainless steel and are not harmful. Heat tint can normally be removed by the above cleaning
techniques, but tint which does not respond to that procedure calls for a vigorous scouring in the direction
of the polish lines, using SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or a STAINLESS scouring pad in
combination with a powered .cleanser. Heat tint action may be lessened by not applying or by reducing,
heat to equipment during slack periods.
