TECHNICAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION, USE AND MAINTENANCE ES
6of 10
4.1 PLACE OF INSTALLATION
Install the device in a location where adequate combustion and ventilation air are available. Respect the norms that are in
force concerning this matter locally.
A minimum of 150mm should be maintained between the fryer and any combustible material.
Install this device individually or integrated in other NT Gas kitchen furniture.
4.2 ELIMINATION OF COMBUSTION PRODUCTS
This is a Type A1device. The device should not necessarily be connected directly to an exhaust duct outwards.
Considering this device’s working characteristics, consumption and working temperature, it’s necessary to install the device
near to a ventilation hood to assure a perfect elimination of combustion gases. Combustion residues should be eliminated
directly or indirectly by a hood to prevent unacceptable concentrations of residues harmful to health.
This device needs an AIRFLOW of 270m3/h for a correct combustion and elimination of combustion residues.
4.3 CONNECTION TO THE GAS INSTALLATION
Before connecting the device, first consult the gas supplying company to check whether your gas network supplies the
necessary pressure and flow in order to ensure a proper operation of the device.
Connection of the device to the general gas installation must always be done by an authorized technician.
The general installation should be provided with a stopcock. Each device should have its own stopcock in order that the rest of
the installation does not remain disabled in case of failure of any of the other devices installed jointly.
This appliance is equipped with a stainless steel front panel that protects the gas valves and the elements that regulate the inlet
of combustion air. Do not cover this part either entirely or partially in order to ensure a proper combustion and not to alter
the combustion air inlet. Leave the upper part uncovered so as to allow a correct elimination of combustion residues.
The device is connected with a male input piece, ½” diameter, according to ISO 7-1, see fig. 1.
The gas type for which this device is configured is indicated on the front panel, next to the gas connection.
Check the gas pressure at the inlet, since pressure loss by the gas network is possible. If necessary, install a pressure
regulator or stabilizer to prevent the inlet pressure to the fryer to exceed the pressure indicated on the plate or on chart 4 of
these instructions.
Both rigid and flexible pipes can be used. If rigid pipes are used, the gas valve must be installed as close as possible to the
connection of the device. In case of flexible tubes, only approved and standardized tubes may be used.
Connect the device as follows:
a) Make sure that there is no flame around.
b) Connect the device to the gas network according to the norms in force and check with a manometer or soapy water
that the connection is leakproof. Never use a flame to verify if there are leaks. Should there be a gas escape
anywhere, close the gas valve and repair. Test again until the connection is leakproof.
4.4 OPERATION CONTROL
Control of the nominal caloric consumption
When the installation is new, or when the machine is converted to a different type of gas than that for which the device was
prepared for initially and after each maintenance operation, an authorized installer of the gas supplying company should check
the nominal caloric consumption of the device.
The nominal caloric consumption for each burner is indicated on chart 5.
Install a meter to measure the gas flow according to the values indicated on chart 5.
Control of the input pressure
Check whether the device is regulated for the type of gas to be used. Verify the information on the characteristics plate of the
device or on chart 2 of these instructions. In case the gas type is different, make the conversion following the indications of
chapter 7.
Measure the pressure of the device with a “U” manometer with a minimum resolution of 0,1 mbar at the gas input connection. If
the pressure is not between the values indicated on chart 4, do not start the device. Report your gas supplying company on
this.

Primary air control
The flame has to be stable, dark blue and should hardly have yellow extremities in the basis. If you observe that the flame has
yellow extremities, this means that primary air is failing. Regulate the primary air flow by loosening the nut and moving the air
regulation ring towards the inlet nozzle. Otherwise, if the flame comes off the burner or the flame base is not stable, move the
air regulation ring in the opposite direction.
Operation control
Start up the machine according to the instructions.
- Check the tightness of the gas circuit.
- Check the ignition and quality of the flame.

BIG RING 8 mm 6 mm
SMALL RING 7 mm 5 mm
Primary air of the pilot burner is regulated by turning the external part in such a way that more or less air flows through the
injector’s orifice. Regulation is obtained by turning in one way or the other.
Observe the flame. An excess of primary air produces a short flame that tends to come off the pilot burner. This could hinder
the ignition of the pilot injector.
The lack of primary air produces smooth and weak flames with yellow extremities due to an incomplete combustion.
7.4 BURNER REGULATION
Light the burner and keep it burning during a few minutes maximum. Then all at once change from maximum to minimum and
to maximum again several times. When doing these tests, if the burner extinguishes at the minimum position or the flames are
too big, then proceed to regulate the minimum by turning the thermoelectric security valve to the left to obtain a bigger flame or
to the right to obtain a smaller flame.
8. PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
During normal operation of the device, problems can arise. These problems, as well as the possible causes and solutions are
listed below.
The pilot burner and the main burner do not ignite
Verify the following:
a) Make sure the stopcock is open.
b) Check if there is gas in the network.
c) Dismantle the pressure regulator that supplies gas to the device (in case it exists) and clean the input filter. There
could be an obstruction due to gas impurities
The pilot burner extinguishes easily
Check if the injector is obstructed.
Clean the injectors with high air pressure only. Never use wires or sharp objects that could vary the diameter of the injectors.
If the pilot burner does not retain the flame once these tests are completed, this means that the thermocouple is too separated
from the flame or the connection to the valve is loose. In this case, tighten, but not excessively to avoid damaging the
thermocouple head.
