7. To prevent burning or scorching the solid shortening, keep the thermostat set at the lowest temperature until
all the solid shortening between and above the tubes has been melted. Additional solid shortening can then
be added until the desired frying depth has been reached.
8. Replace the basket support frame over the fry pot heat tubes.
SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
Standby: Turn knob on the combination gas valve to the "PILOT" position. At this setting, only the pilot burner will
remain ignited.
Complete Shutdown: Turn knob on the combination gas valve clockwise, press down on the knob and continue to
turn to the "OFF" position.
RELIGHTING
In the event of a main burner ignition failure, a five minute purge period must be observed prior to re-
establishing the ignition source.
1. Shut off all gas.
2. Wait five minutes.
3. Follow the "Lighting" procedure as described on page 12.
AUTOMATIC PILOT VALVE
The Automatic Pilot Valve provides an automatic safety shutoff for the fryer when the pilot flame is extinguished.
When the pilot flame is burning, the valve is held open electromagnetically by the electrical current from a
thermopile in the pilot flame. When the pilot flame goes out, generation of current ceases and the valve closes
automatically.
HIGH LIMIT CONTROL
Mainstreet Equipment Floor Fryers are equipped with a secondary heat control that prevents the oil temperature
from rising above 450°F. (Because of the accuracy tolerance of the sensor, the oil temperature may reach as high as
475°F.)
In the event the fryer shuts down due to this condition, the oil must be cooled to below 400°F before the pilot
burner can be re-ignited. When the oil has cooled, use the "Lighting" procedure on page 12 to restore functionality.
If the problem persists, contact your Mainstreet Equipment Service Representative or the Mainstreet Equipment
Service Department.
