2-5 6. Connect the desired drain plumbing to the 1¼–inch drain valve. 7. Test the cooker electrical system: a. Plug the cooker electrical cord into a grounded electrical receptacle of appropriate voltage. (Check the rating plate on the cooker door to determine the proper voltage).
2-6 2.4 Connection to the Gas Line The GSMS/GBC/GC family of gas cookers has been approved for use with natural and propane (LP) gas. The cookers in this family have also received the mark for the countries and gas categories indicated in the accompanying table.
2-7 The size of the gas line used for installation is very important. If the line is too small, the gas pressure at the burner manifold will be low. This may cause slow recovery and delayed ignition. Frymaster recommends the incoming gas supply line be a minimum of 1 ½ ” (38mm) in diameter.
2-8 4. It is recommended that the burner gas pressure be checked at this tim e by the local gas company or an authorized service agent. Refer to “Check Burner Pressure” in Chapter 4 of this m anual for the proper procedure. The accompanying tables lis t the burner gas pressures for the various gas types that can be used with this equipment.
