MINIMUM CLEARANCE FROM NON-COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION:
• 0” from the sides of the fryer.
• 0” from the back of the fryer.
• Between the fryer and any open-top ame units: 16” (41 cm).
LOCATION
• Minimum ambient temperature for safe use is -25°C.
• Install fryer outdoors only, on level ground, free of debris.
• Do not obstruct the ow of combustion and ventilation air.
• Provide adequate clearance for air openings into the combustion chamber.
• Do not install near open windows and doors.
• CASTERS MUST BE LOCKED AT ALL TIMES DURING OPERATION.
GAS PRESSURES
The gas pressure should be set at 4” W.C. (Water Column) (0.8 kPa) for natural gas and 11” W.C. (2.75 kPa)
for propane gas. If incoming pressure exceeds 1/2 PSI (3.45 kPa), an additional pressure regulator may be
required.
TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM
When test pressures exceed 1/2 PSI (3.45 kPa), the fryer and its individual shuto󰀨 valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system. When test pressures are 1/2 PSI (3.45 kPa) or less, the fryer must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual shuto󰀨 valve.
PROPANE CYLINDERS AND REGULATORS
• Pressure regulators and hose assemblies supplied with this appliance must be used. Replacement
pressure regulators and/or hose assemblies must be original manufacturers parts. The standard, self-
contained propane system fryer is designed for use with 13.6 kg. (30 lb.) propane cylinders, equipped with
a Type I cylinder valve.
• Do not store propane cylinders in or on the appliance, explosion, re or injury may result.
The Type I (Q.C.C.1) cylinder valve is recognizable by the large external thread on the outlet part of the valve.
Standard valves do not have these exterior threads. Any attempt to t the regulator(s) with anything other than
the mating Type I (Q.C.C.1) connector, (recognized by the large plastic coupling nut) will negate the important
safety features designed into the Type I (Q.C.C.1) system. Fitting a standard #510 P.O.L connector, will not
provide the ow control or temperature shut-o󰀨 safety features built into the complete Type I (Q.C.C.1) system.
When purchasing a cylinder for your PRO-FRYER, it must be constructed and marked in accordance with the
specications of: The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), or CAN/CSA B339.
THE CYLINDER MUST ALSO BE EQUIPPED WITH:
• A shut-o󰀨 valve terminating in a proper cylinder valve outlet specied in current standards.
• A safety relief valve having direct communication with the vapor space of the cylinder.

9
Installation
Operation
• A collar to protect the cylinder shut-o󰀨 valve.
• An arrangement for vapor withdrawal only.
• A bottom ring for securing to the cylinder support assembly.
• Protect regulator vent openings from the elements. Do not expose regulators to rain, snow or ice. Store
regulators in cabinet when not in use.
• Only install and operate cylinders in the retaining brackets on the appliance. Cylinders must be secured
against tip-over and from heat sources at all times.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE OF LP CYLINDERS
Handling, storage and transportation of propane cylinders must be in accordance with Storage and Handling of
Liquid Petroleum Gases, ANSI/NFPA 58 or Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA B149.1.
THEREFORE:
Always use the protective cap provided with your cylinder whenever it is not connected to your fryer.
• Do not store in a building, garage or any other enclosed area. Store only in a well ventilated area.
• Do not store in the vicinity of any gas burning apparatus or in any high heat area such as a closed car or
trunk.
• Do not smoke while transporting a cylinder in your vehicle.
• Transport and store cylinder(s) in an upright position only.
• Store out of reach of children.
• Allow only qualied LP gas dealer to ll or repair cylinder(s).
• Do not allow the cylinder to be over lled.
• Make sure the LP gas dealer checks the cylinder for leaks after lling.
WARNING Hot oil and parts can cause burns. Use care when operating, cleaning and servicing the
fryer.
WARNING Spilling hot frying compound can cause severe burns. Do not move the fryer without
draining all frying compound from the tank.
LEVELING THE FRYER
Check the level of the fryer by placing a level on top of the fryer. Ensure that the fryer is level front-to-back and
side-to-side in the installed position. Lock the wheels after unit is level.
OVER-TEMPERATURE SHUTDOWN
If the shortening becomes overheated, a high-temperature shuto󰀨 device will turn the gas valve o󰀨 and

10
Operation
extinguish the pilot. If the fryer shuts down due to overheating, DO NOT re-light the pilot until the shortening
temperature is below 300° F (149°C). If an overheating situation persists, contact Omcan.
BEFORE FIRST USE
CLEANING
New units are wiped down at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, grease, etc. remaining from the
manufacturing process. Before any food preparation, thoroughly wash the protective oil from all surface parts
and the tank interior with hot soapy water to remove any lm residue and dust or debris.
NOTICE Do not use chlorine or sulfate/sulde cleaners.
• Wash any accessories shipped with unit.
• Rinse fryer and accessories thoroughly and drain the fryer.
• Wipe tank completely dry with a soft, clean cloth.
WARNING Hot oil and parts can cause burns. Use care when operating, cleaning and servicing the
fryer.
WARNING Spilling hot frying compound can cause severe burns. Do not move the fryer without
draining all frying compound from the tank.
FILLING TANK WITH SHORTENING
NOTICE Solid shortening should NOT be used with PRO-FRYERS. Melting solid shortening will damage
the tank and void your warranty.
• Close the drain valve.
• Check the level of the fryer.
• Fill the fryer tank with liquid shortening.
• Shortening level should be between the min and max lines in the fryer tank.
• Shortening will expand when heated. Do not ll the fryer tank past the MAX line.
• Add fresh shortening as needed to maintain oil level.
Before Start-Up • Inspect hose(s) for evidence of excessive wear, cuts or cracks. If evident, replace
only with manufacturer’s original parts before operation.
LIGHTING THE PILOT
1. Open the door.
2. Turn the thermostat OFF. The thermostat is located behind the door.
3. Push the gas control valve knob and turn to OFF. Wait 5 minutes for unburned gas to vent.
4. Push and turn gas control valve knob to the “L” in PILOT.
5. While still holding the knob in, light the pilot with a lit ame. Continue to depress the knob until pilot remains
lit when knob is released. If the pilot does not remain lit, repeat step 3 through 5.
6. Depress and turn gas control knob to ON.
