Main Burner Orifice Sizes Up To 2000 Feet Above Sea Level:

• Natural (G20) Gas: #14 (4.50mm)

• Propane (G31) Gas: #32 (2.87mm)

Standard gas units operate up to 2000 feet above sea level. Installations above this require a special main burner orifice. Contact Broaster Company for orifice sizing.

• Never modify exhaust flue! Back pressures from added extensions can cause high ambient temperatures near the controls.

• Make sure unit is properly ventilated. Restrictions, drafts or other adverse conditions might affect proper operation of the burner and combustion assemblies.

When the power switch is turned on, this gas fryer automatically checks the oil level and adds oil as needed then lights the burner.

When the power switch is turned off, the burner goes out.

Check the Gas Data Plate to verify the gas this fryer uses. To convert from one type of gas to another, the main orifice must be changed.
