3.1.2 Lighting the Fryer

1.
Press the controller ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
Placing the ON/OFF switch in the OFF
position also turns off the gas valve. Wait five
minutes before continuing with Step 2, which
will also turn on the gas valve.
2.
Press the controller ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
3.
If the burners fail to light, press the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position and wait 60 seconds.
Repeat step 2.
4.
The fryer will automatically enter the melt cycle mode if the frypot temperature is below 180ºF
(82ºC) and will display MELT CYCLE IN PROGRESS. (NOTE: During the melt cycle, the burners
will repeatedly fire for a few seconds, then go out for a longer period.) If using solid shortening,
the shortening must be stirred occasionally during the heating process to ensure all the
shortening in the drain and vat are liquified. When the frypot temperature reaches 180ºF (82ºC),
the unit will automatically switch to the heating mode and PREHEAT is displayed until within
15°F (9°C) of setpoint. The burners will remain lit until the frypot temperature reaches the
programmed cooking temperature. Once the fryer reaches setpoint, the controller display
changes to START and the fryer is ready for use.
5.
After the burners have been lit for at least 90 seconds, observe the flames through the burner
viewing ports located on each side of the combustion air blower.
Left Viewing Ports are
behind the motor
housings.
The optimum burn is a bright orange-red glow. If a blue flame is observed, or if there are dark
spots on a burner face, adjust the air gas mixture as follows: On the side of the blower housing op-
posite the motor is a plate with one or two locking nuts. Loosen the nuts enough to allow the plate
to be moved, then adjust the position of the plate to open or close the air intake opening until a
bright orange-red glow is obtained. Carefully hold the plate in position and tighten the locking nuts.
