Since the fryer is electrically powered, only a licensed
electrician should be used to connect power to the unit.
1. Make certain this installation is in compliance with the
specifications listed in this manual, local code
requirements, and in accordance with the Standard for
Ventilation Control and Fire Protection of Commercial
Cooking Operations, NFPA-96 (current edition). These
requirements are the responsibility of the installer.
2. Certain codes require fryers to be restrained with a
tether or other restraint device. It is the responsibility
of the installer to check with the authority having
jurisdiction, in order to ascertain the applicability of
this requirement to this specific fryer installation. Any
restraint device must allow access to the back and
sides of the unit to provide service and maintenance
access, and must not interfere with the operation of
the fire suppression system.
3. Refer to the name plate on the front of the unit. The
electrical service power voltage and phase must match
the nameplate specifications and available electrical
service amperage must meet or exceed the
specifications listed. Wiring must be no less than 12
ga. solid copper wire, rated for at least 75°C.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Electrical connections must be
made by a licensed electrician.
Electrical shock will cause death
or serious injury.
NOTE: Wire gauge, insulation type, and temperature
rating, as well as type, size, and construction of
conduit, must meet or exceed applicable
specifications of local codes of the National
Electrical Code.
4. Fryers are shipped from the factory wired for 3-phase
service. Refer to 3-phase wiring diagram included
with this fryer and verify that field wiring conforms
with this diagram.
NOTE: Fryers are field convertible to 1-phase. If single
phase operation is required, refer to the 3-phase to
1-phase instructions included with the fryer. Verify
that both internal wiring and field wiring conform
to the single-phase wiring diagram included.
IMPORTANT: Fryer Models VAE-55 and VAE-55FS units
MUST NOT BE CONVERTED TO SINGLE
PHASE OPERATION
. Conversion of these
units to single phase operation invalidates
the UL listing and voids the warranty.
