VENTILATION AND FIRE SAFETY SYSTEMS
Your new fryer must have proper ventilation to function safely and properly. Exhaust gas temperatures can reach as
high as 1000°F. Therefore, it is very important to install a fire safety system. Your ventilation system should be designed
to allow for easy cleaning. Frequent cleaning of the ventilation system and the fryer will reduce the chances of fire. Table
1-2 provides a list of reference documents that provide guidance on ventilation and fire safety systems. This table is
not necessarily complete. Additional information can be obtained from CSA International, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road,
Cleveland, OH 44131.
Excessive ventilation causes drafts, which will interfere with the proper operation of the pilot and the burner.
Leave at least 18 inches of open space between the fryer's flue vent opening and the intake of the exhaust hood.
Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the fryer's flue
opening. Down drafts will not allow the fryer to exhaust properly and will cause
overheating which may cause permanent damage. Damage caused by down drafts will
not be covered under equipment warranty. NEVER allow anything to obstruct the
flow of combustibles or ventilation exiting from the fryer flue. DO NOT put anything
on top of the flue area.
NEVER connect the blower directly to the flue openings. The direct flow of air will
cause poor temperature recovery, poor ignition, inefficient operation of the fryer, and
could extinguish the pilot.
