Electrical Requirements

Shock Hazard

  • This unit must be adequately and safely grounded (earthed) or electrical shock could result. Refer to local electrical codes for correct grounding (earthing) procedures or in absence of local codes, with The National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-(the current edition). In Canada, all electrical connections are to be made in accordance with CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code Part 1, and/or local codes.
  • To avoid electrical shock, this appliance must be equipped with an external circuit breaker which will disconnect all ungrounded (unearthed) conductors. The main power switch on this appliance does not disconnect all line conductors.
  • The electric fryer requires 208 or 240 volt, three phase, 50/60 Hertz service.
  • A separate disconnect switch meeting over-voltage category III conditions with proper capacity fuses or breakers must be installed at a convenient location between the fryer and the power source. It should be an insulated copper conductor rated for 600 volts and 90 C. For runs longer than 50 feet (15.24 m), use the next larger wire size.

(FOR EQUIPMENT WITH CE MARK ONLY!)

To prevent electric shock hazard this appliance must be bonded to other appliances or touchable metal surfaces in close proximity to this appliance with an equipotential bonding conductor. This appliance is equipped with an equipotential lug for this purpose. The equipotential lug is marked with the following symbol.

Equipotential Ground Symbol =

NOTICE -

It is recommended that a 30 mA rated protective device such as a residual current circuit breaker (RCCB), or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), be used on the circuit. The supply power cords shall be oil-resistant, sheathed flexible cable, no lighter than ordinary polychloroprene or other equivalent synthetic elastomer-sheathed cord.

Units being used outside the United States may not be shipped with the power cord attached to the unit because of the different wiring codes. The fryers are available from the factory wired for 200, 240, 380 and 415 volts, 3 phase, 50 Hertz service. A terminal block is mounted inside the fryer for the cable wiring.
