CHECKING YOUR NEW FRYER
Your new fryer has been carefully packed into one crate. Every effort has been made to ensure that your fryer is
delivered to you in perfect condition. As you unpack your new fryer, inspect each of the pieces for damage. If something
is damaged, DO NOT sign the bill of lading. Contact the shipper immediately, the shipper is only responsible for 15
days after delivery. Check the packing list enclosed with your fryer to ensure that you have received all of the parts
to the fryer. If you are missing any parts, contact the dealer from whom the fryer was purchased.
To prevent equipment damage, don't tilt the fryer onto any two of it's casters or pull the unit by the flue
Locate your Pitco Frialator warranty and fill in the serial number of the fryer and the date received. You will find the
serial number on the plate inside the door. Put your warranty card in a safe place for future reference. DO NOT return
the card to Pitco Frialator.
INSTALLATION
Although it is possible for you to install and set up your new fryer, it is STRONGLY recommended that you have it
done by qualified professionals. The professionals that install your new fryer will know the local building codes and
ensure that your installation is safe.
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion/ventilation or air openings around
the fryer. Adequate clearance around the fryer is necessary for servicing and
proper burner operation. Ensure that you meet the minimum clearances
specified in this manual.
Installation Clearances
The fryer needs clearance around it for proper operation. Adequate clearances allow for servicing and proper burner
operation. The clearances shown below are for cooker installation in combustible and noncombustible construction.
Back
Sides
Floor - Combustible
Counter top must be constructed of a non-combustible material for SG14C counter top fryer installations.
In addition to the clearances required for proper fryer operation, there must be at least 21 inches of aisle space
in front of the fryer to remove/install the filter pan/module.
The fryer must be properly restrained to prevent movement or tipping. This restraint must prevent the
fryer from movements that would splash hot liquids on personnel, which could cause severe burns or
injuries. Always wear oil proof gloves when moving or handling equipment or hot liquids.
Leveling
When you receive your fryer it is completely assembled. The fryer will need to be leveled once it is in place. Leveling
the fryer is done with a large pair of water pump pliers. The casters provide the necessary height to meet sanitation
requirements and assure adequate air supply to the burner.
a. Adjust the height and level the fryer by adjusting the leveling devices on the caster with the water pump
pliers.
b. Move the fryer to the desired location and lock the wheels using the locking devices on the sides of the
casters.
