Gas Connection - Buffalo DC319-P Assembly, Installation And Operation Instructions

Gas Connection

NOTE: ALL GAS FITTING MUST ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED PERSON.
A 3/4" male BSP line for the gas connection is located near the lower left rear corner of the fryer. The
serial plate (located inside the front door of the fryer) indicates the type of gas the unit is equipped
to burn (natural gas or propane). The fryer should be connected ONLY to the type of gas for which it
is equipped.
For orifice sizes, refer to spare parts list. If the fryer is being installed at over 2,000 feet altitude and
that information was not specified when ordered, contact the appropriate authorized Buffalo Service
Representative or the Buffalo Service Department. Failure to install with proper orifice sizing will result
in poor performance and may void the warranty.
If applicable, the vent line from the gas appliance pressure regulator shall be installed to the
outdoors in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the
United Kingdom:
Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998
BS 6173-Installation of Catering Appliances.
BS 5440-1&2 Installation Flueing & Ventilation.
Ireland:
IS 820-Non Domestic Gas Installations.
An adequate gas supply is imperative. Undersized or low pressure lines will restrict the volume of gas
necessary for satisfactory performance. A combination gas valve is provided with each unit.
Purge the supply line to clean out dust, dirt, or other foreign matter before connecting the line to
the unit. It is recommended that an individual manual shutoff valve be installed in the gas
Supply line to the unit. Use pipe joint compound that is suitable for use with both natural and LP
gas on all threaded connections.
ALL PIPE JOINTS AND CONNECTIONS MUST BE TESTED THOROUGHLY FOR GAS LEAKS. USE
GAS LEAK DETECTION FLUID FOR TESTING ON ALL GASES. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO
CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS. ALL CONNECTIONS MUST BE CHECKED FOR GAS LEAKS BEFORE THE
UNIT HAS BEEN PUT INTO OPERATION.
