fryer is level front-to-back and side-to-side.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING: ELECTRICAL AND GROUNDING CONNECTIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE
APPLICABLE PORTIONS OF THE NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND/OR OTHER LOCAL
ELECTRICAL CODES.
WARNING: DISCONNECT ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY AND PLACE A TAG AT THE
DISCONNECT SWITCH TO INDICATE THAT YOU ARE WORKING ON THE CIRCUIT.
An electrical diagram is located on the rear panel.
All fryers are provided with two terminal blocks at the rear of the fryer for field wire connections. The
large terminal block (marked X-Y-Z) is for power supply connections. The smaller auxiliary terminal
block (marked 1-2-3) is for connection to a fire protection circuit.
Located on the rear leg channel are two knockouts (accessible by removing the rear panel), a
3
/4"
conduit for power supply, and a
1
/2" conduit for auxiliary terminal block wires.
Remove the rear panel. Mount suitable
3
/4" conduit fitting in power supply knockout. The knockout hole
for
1
/2" conduit fitting is covered with a closure plug. CAUTION: Do not remove closure plug
covering
1
/2" size knockout opening if connections to a fire protection circuit are not required.
Removal of the closure plug under this condition, may result in a shock hazard.
If connection to the auxiliary terminal block is required, remove the
1
/2" knockout hole for conduit fitting.
Connect field wire to the power terminal block as indicated on the wiring diagram. Wire must be of the
type suitable for 90°C service, and of thickness indicated on marking on rear panel.
Field wire connections to the auxiliary terminal block must be of the size indicated on the rear panel,
and suitable for 90° C service. Connect lead wires to the auxiliary terminal block as indicated on the
wiring diagram, depending upon whether the fire protection circuit has a Normally Open (N.O.) or a
Normally Closed (N.C.) switch.
The auxiliary terminal block wiring must not be changed if connections to a fire protection system are
not made. The fryer is factory assembled for operating without connections to a fire protection system.
After making the connections, replace the rear panel.
