(326mm) from the floor. The left-to-right position will vary according to the number of fryers in
the battery.
NOTE: Some fryers are configured for a rigid connection to the gas supply line. These units are
connected to the gas supply line at the rear of the unit.
When using thread compound, use very small amounts on male threads only. Use a pipe thread
compound that is not affected by the chemical action of LP gases (Loctite PST567 sealant is one
such compound). DO NOT apply compound to the first two threads. Applying compound to the
first two threads will cause clogging of the burner orifices and control valve.
2. Open the gas-supply valve to the fryer and check all piping, fittings, and gas connections for
leaks. A soap and water solution should be used for this purpose.
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
lighting 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
extinguished, 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.
3. Close the fryer drain valve and fill the frypot with water and boil-out solution to the bottom OIL-
LEVEL line at the rear of the frypot. Light the fryer and perform the boil-out procedures that are
described in the "Lighting Instructions" and "Boiling Out the Frypot" topics found in Chapter 3
of this manual.
"Dry-firing" your unit will cause damage to the frypot and can cause a fire. Always
ensure that melted shortening, cooking oil, or water is in the frypot before firing your
unit.
