2.1 General Installation Requirements
Proper installation is essential for the safe, efficient, trouble-free operation of this appli-
ance.
Qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel, as defined in Section
1.6 of this manual, should perform all installation and service on Frymaster equipment.
Conversion of this appliance from one type of gas to another should only be performed by
qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel as defined in Section
1.6 of this manual.
Failure to use qualified, licensed, and/or authorized installation or service personnel (as de-
fined in Section 1.6 of this manual) to install, convert to another gas type or otherwise ser-
vice this equipment will void the Frymaster warranty and may result in damage to the
equipment or injury to personnel.
Where conflicts exist between instructions and information in this manual and local or na-
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.
WARNING
Do not block the area around the base or under the fryers.

2-2
DANGER
No structural material on the fryer should be altered or removed to accommo-
date placement of the fryer under a hood. Questions? Call the Frymaster Dean
Service Hotline 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.
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. A copy of the standard may be obtained
from the National Fire Protection Association, Battery March Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
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 codes. Quick-disconnect devices, if used, shall likewise comply with national,
local, and, if applicable, CE codes. In the absence of local codes, installation must conform to the
national Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation code,
CSA B149.1, as applicable including:

DANGER
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 (3.45 kPa, 13.84 inches
W.C.)
DANGER
“Dry-firing” your unit will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire. Al-
ways ensure 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 ser-
vice 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 below for the
minimum sizes of connection piping.
The FQG30-T™ gas fryer has received
the CE mark for the countries and gas
categories indicated in the table on the
following page. NOTE: The nominal
heat input (QN) is 21kW except for AT,
DE, LU and category 3P/B, which is
23kW.

CE Approved Gas Categories by Country

2-8
CE Standard
Required airflow for the combustion air supply is 2m3/h per kW.
1. Connect the quick-disconnect hose to the fryer quick-disconnect fitting under the front of the
fryer and to the building gas line.
NOTE: Some fryers are configured for a rigid connection to the gas supply line. These units are
connected to the gas supply line at the rear of the unit.
When using thread compound, use very small amounts on male threads only. Use a pipe
thread compound that is not affected by the chemical action of LP gases (Loctite™ PST56765
Sealant is one such compound). DO NOT apply compound to the first two threads. Doing so
may allow some of the compound to enter the gas stream, resulting in clogging of burner
orifices and/or the control valve.
2. Open the gas supply to the fryer and check all piping, fittings, and gas connections for leaks. A
soap solution should be used for this purpose.
3. Light the fryer following the procedures that are described in the “Lighting Instructions” found
in Chapter 3 of this manual.
DANGER
“Dry-firing” your unit will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire.
Always ensure that cooking oil or water is in the frypot before firing your unit.
4. The burner manifold pressure should be checked at this time by the local gas company or an
authorized service agent. The tables on page 2-5 list the burner manifold gas pressures for the
various gas types that can be used with this equipment. Also verify the pressures, on the rating
plate, inside the fryer door
5. Check the programmed temperature thermostat setting by pressing the temperature button.
2.5 Converting to Another Gas Type
DANGER
This appliance was configured at the factory for a specific type of gas. Converting from
one type of gas to another requires the installation of specific gas-conversion compo-
nents. Conversion instructions are included with conversion kits.
Switching to a different type of gas without installing the proper conversion
components may result in fire or explosion. NEVER ATTACH THIS APPLIANCE TO A GAS
SUPPLY FOR WHICH IT IS NOT CONFIGURED!
Conversion of this appliance from one type of gas to another should only be performed
by qualified, licensed, and authorized installation or service personnel, as defined in
Section 1.6 of this manual.

2-9
FQG30-T™ gas fryers manufactured for Non-CE countries use different burners for each type gas.
The burners in fryers built for propane gas have a special gray-colored coating on the burner tiles
to enable them to withstand the higher caloric value of the propane gas. Burners designed for use
in propane units may be used in natural gas applications, but not vice versa.

CE GAS CONVERSION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Between G20- and G25-type Natural Gas, adjust the gas pressure at the regulator. (Refer to the
CE Standard Burner Manifold Gas Pressure Chart.) Do not change the orifice.
2. Between a 2nd family (G20 or G25) and a 3rd family gas (G30 Butane or G31 Propane):
a. Change the orifices.
b. Adjust the manifold pressure.
3. Remove the old rating plate and return to Frymaster. Affix the new rating plate included with
the conversion kit in place of the old rating plate stating the gas has been converted.
4. If the destination language changes, replace the rating plate. Call your local service agency or
KES for a label kit. The language of reference will be on the corner of the label.
2.6 After Fryers are Positioned at the Frying Station
