Lighting Instructions For Manual Pilot Lights; Pilot Flame Adjustment - Pitco 20 Installation And Operation Manual

1.5.2.1 Lighting Instructions for Manual Pilot Lights - To light the pilot light refer to the
following instructions.
Wait 5 minutes before attempting to relight the pilot to allow for any gas in
the fryer to dissipate.
a. Open the gas supply valves to the fryer.
b. Turn the thermostat control knob counterclockwise to the OFF position.
c. Turn the gas valve knob to the PILOT position and push in on the knob.
Hold the knob in for approximately one minute to purge the air out of
the line. Hold a flame to the pilot light until the pilot ignites. This may
take a little while the first time you light the fryer because of air in the
lines. Once lit, hold the knob in for approximately 60 seconds and then
release.
d. If the pilot goes out wait 5 minutes and repeat step c. If after three tries the pilot will not
remain lit, refer to the operator troubleshooting section of this manual.
e. Turn the gas valve knob counterclockwise to the ON position.
f. Set the thermostat control knob to the desired temperature setting.
g. The main burner will light and be controlled by the thermostat.
1.5.2.1.1 Pilot Flame Adjustment - The pilot flame should be adjusted to produce the proper
millivolt output from the pilot sensing device. Millivolt output for the thermopile should be between
300 and 500 millivolts. This procedure is only necessary on the manual pilot ignition system. Figure
1-1 shows the pilot assembly with examples of the incorrect and correct pilot size. Example A
illustrates a pilot flame size that is too small to produce sufficient millivolt output. Example B is the
correct size for proper millivolt output.
