Operation
4. When solid shortening is used, be careful not to bend, break, or twist the thin capillary wires of the
elements located in the fryer pot.
5. Pack solid shortening into the zone below the tubes, all spaces between the tubes, and at least an inch
above the top of the tubes before lighting the fryer. If any air spaces are left around the heat tube
surfaces when the heat is turned on, the tube surfaces will become red hot, burn the solid shortening,
weaken the fryer pot, and could result in a fire.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO MELT A SOLID BLOCK OF SHORTENING ON TOP OF THE HEAT TUBES. NEVER
START THE BURNERS WHEN THE FRY POT IS EMPTY.
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 fryer pot heat tubes.
Shutdown Procedure
Standby: Turn Operating Knob on the combination gas valve to the "PILOT" position. At this setting,
only the pilot burner will remain ignited.
Complete Shutdown: Turn Operating Knob on the combination gas valve to the "OFF" position to extin-
guish pilot burner and main burner and turn thermostat off completely
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 described on page 10.
Automatic Pilot Valve
The Automatic Pilot Valve provides an automatic safety shut off or 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.
