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 120 volt gas fryer is factory equipped with a grounded (earthed) cord and plug for your protection against shock, and should be plugged into a three-prong grounded (earthed) receptacle. Do not cut or remove grounding (earthing) prong. Any 230 volt plug used on the 230 volt unit must conform to all local, state, and national codes.
  • 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 =

CE units require a minimum wire size of 6 mm to be wired to the terminal block. If a flexible power cord is used, it must be HO7RN type.

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.

The fryer is supplied with 2 different, 7 ft. (2.13 m) power cord assemblies:

Twistlock Plug

The cord assembly with the NEMA L21- 20P twistlock plug is wired specifically for McDonald’s Hood Interlock Receptacle only, and supplies power to the controls.
Straight Plug

The other power cord, supplying power to the heating system, uses NEMA 15-60P Straight Plug, and each vat has its own power cord assembly.

Cable Restraint

Secure I-bolt to building using acceptable building construction practices.

Proper Cable Restraint Installation

DRYWALL CONSTRUCTION

Secure unit to building stud approximately six inches either side of service connection. Use cable restraint that is at least six inches short than flexible conduit.
