Initial Pilot Light
All U.S. Range appliances are adjusted and tested before leaving the factory, effectively
matching them to sea level conditions. Adjustments and calibrations to assure proper operation may
be necessary on installation to meet local conditions, low gas pressure, differences in altitude,
variations in gas characteristics, to correct possible problems caused by rough handling or vibration
during shipment, and are to be performed only by qualified service personnel. These are the
responsibility of the customer and/or dealer and are not covered by U.S. Range warranty.
Check all gas connections for leaks using a soapy solution before lighting any pilots. DO NOT
USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR LEAKS! Putting an open flame beside a new connection is
not only dangerous, but will often miss small leaks that a soapy solution would find.
Incoming gas is brought from the upper manifold pipe through a manual shut-off valve to the pilot
safety valve, located at the lower right rear within the fryer cabinet. Gas travels from this safety valve
to the pilot burner, which is located up high in the center, between the two widely-spaced center
burners and against the fryer tank.
Pilot light or relight is in the following sequence:
1. Turn off the manual shut-off valve on the incoming service line.
2. Turn off the manual shut-off valve on the manifold.
3. Turn the thermostat "off".
4. Depress the grey pilot gas cock dial on the safety control valve and turn "off".
5. Wait for any accumulated gas to disperse.
6. Fill the fryer tank with oil (or at least water during testing) to above the heat transfer tubes.
If the main burners are operated with the tank empty, the heat transfer tubes may
easily burn through. They are not replacement parts without replacing the entire tank!
