- Remove the three (3) nuts attaching the bottom plate to the 1089222-plumbing assembly (see Figure 1).
Figure 1 Description: Shows the bottom plate being removed from the 1089222-plumbing assembly. - From the rear of the fryer locate the two (2) holes on the far-left lower inner rear cabinet base channel (see Figure 2).
Figure 2 Description: Illustrates the location of two holes on the far-left lower inner rear cabinet base channel of the fryer. - Attach the plate removed in step 7 with cabinet screws, to the two (2) holes as shown in Figure 2. Ensure the two (2) studs are located on the bottom of the plate (see Figure 3).
Figure 3 Description: Depicts the plate attached to the fryer's rear cabinet base channel, showing the studs facing downwards. - Reattach the plumbing assembly removed from the plate in step 7, to the plate mounted in the previous step, using the three (3) nuts removed in step 7 (see Figure 4).
Figure 4 Description: Shows the plumbing assembly being reattached to the plate using three nuts. - Position the bracket and flexline towards the front of the fryer (see Figure 5).
Figure 5 Description: Illustrates positioning the bracket and flexline towards the front of the fryer. - Attach the bracket with the quick disconnect, to the front of the fryer (see Figure 6) using flat head screws. Secure the screws with the three (3) ¼”-20 nuts. The photo shows hex bolts on the front. However, use the screws instead for door clearance.
Figure 6 Description: Shows attaching the bracket with the quick disconnect to the front of the fryer using screws and nuts. - Attach the other flex line to the bottom of the plumbing assembly (see Figure 7).
Figure 7 Description: Depicts attaching another flex line to the bottom of the plumbing assembly. - Remove the left plug from the oil return manifold using a 3/8” drive wrench (see Figure 8).
Figure 8 Description: Shows removing a plug from the oil return manifold using a wrench. - Attach the 8101668 adaptor to the open port in the oil manifold, from the previous step, using Loctite® (see Figure 9).
