HIGH LIMIT
OPERATING
This high temperature control senses the temperature of the
COMPONENT
shortening; if the temperature of the shortening exceeds 450°F
(CONT.)
(230°C), this control will open and shut off the heat to the frypot;
when the temperature of the shortening drops to a safe operation
limit, the control must be manually reset by pressing the red reset
button, located under the control panel, in the front of the fryer
FLAME SENSORS
Sense the pilot lights when the power switch is turned on; if the
pilots go out, or do not light, the flame sensors shut the gas off,
via the modules
GAS CONTROL VALVE
A dual controller, in which, one side of the valve controls the
pilot light and the other side controls the main burner.
AIRFLOW SWITCH
Figure 3-1
Senses the flow of air coming from the blower; if the airflow is
reduced below a set amount, the switch cuts power to the gas
control valve, which shuts down the burners
BLOWER
Adds the proper amount of air into the burner tubes, so an
efficient combustion takes place, and also, pulls the flue gases
out to the flue
AIR VALVE
Pumps air into the shortening, periodically, to keep the
shortening at a uniform temperature; this only functions when
the unit has been sitting idle for a period of time, and when
heating up from a cold start
FILTER DRAIN PAN
The removable pan that houses the filter and catches the
shortening when it is drained from the frypot; also used to
remove and discard old shortening
When hot shortening is in this pan, use extreme
care to avoid burns.
FILTER UNION
Connects the filter to the filter pump, and allows easy removal of
the filter and drain pan
