Frymaster FPGL30 Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual page 18

"Dry-firing" your unit will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire. Always
ensure that cooking oil or water is in the frypot before firing the unit.
All connections must be sealed with a joint compound suitable for the gas being
used and all connections must be tested with a solution of soapy water before light-
ing any pilots.
Never use matches, candles, or any other ignition source to check for leaks. If gas
odors are detected:
● Shut off the gas supply to the appliance at the main shut-off valve or bottle.
● Extinguish all naked flames.
● Do not operate any electrical appliances in the area.
● Ventilate the area.
● Check for leaks as detailed in this manual using a solution of soapy solution.
● Immediately contact the local gas company or an authorized service agency for
service.
If odor persists, contact the dealer or gas supplier immediately.
In the event of a burn-back, where the flame burns back to the jet, immediately turn
the gas supply off at the control valve on the panel. After ensuring the flame is extin-
guished, wait for I minute and re-light the appliance in the normal manner. Should
the appliance again burn back, close the control valve and call a service technician.
Do not use the appliance again until the service technician has declared that it is
safe to do so.
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.
The incoming gas supply line should be a minimum of 1½" (38 mm) in diameter. Refer to the chart
below for the minimum sizes of connection piping.
