RANCE AND VENTILATION A DANGER No structural material on the fryer should be altered or removed to accommodate placement of the fryer under a hood Questions Call the Frymaster Dean Service Hotline at 1 800 551 8633 A 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 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 One of the most important considerations of efficient fryer operation is ventilation Ensure 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 proper 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 an
