The freight carrier has assumed responsibility for safe transit and delivery. If damaged equipment is received, either apparent or concealed, a claim must be made with the delivering carrier. Apparent damage or loss must be noted on the freight bill at the time of delivery.
  • Page 7 NOTICE Unit must be level to assure maximum performance. Improper leveling may void warranty.

  • Page 9 4. Secure it with four self-tapping screws two on the back and one on each side using a 5/16” socket Step 4: Check Clearances and Ventilation Select a firm, level location for your fryer. Leave clearance, whenever possible, so that access from the rear is possible to permit cleaning.
  • Page 10 appliance and the bottom edge be located 6'6" from the floor. Filters should be installed at an angle of 45° or more from the horizontal. This position prevents dripping of grease and facilitates collecting the run-off grease in a drip pan, unusually installed with a filter. A strong exhaust fan tends to create a vacuum in the room and may interfere with burner performance or may extinguish pilot flames.
  • Page 11 CAUTION ALL PIPE JOINTS AND CONNECTIONS MUST BE TESTED THOROUGHLY FOR GAS LEAKS. USE ONLY SOAPY WATER FOR TESTING ON ALL GASES. NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS. ALL CONNECTIONS MUST BE CHECKED FOR LEAKS AFTER THE UNIT HAS BEEN PUT INTO OPERATION.
  • Page 12: Operation

    PHOTO 1 PERATION LIGHTING CAUTION IF YOU SMELL GAS DURING THE LIGHTING PROCEDURE, IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE GAS SUPPLY UNTIL THE LEAK HAS BEEN CORRECTED. Open the burner compartment door and do the following: 1. Turn thermostat to “OFF” 2. Press down the knob of the combination gas valve, turn it counterclockwise to the “PILOT” position (shown), and continue to press the knob down.
  • Page 13 FILLING THE FRYPOT 1. Close drain valve completely before filling the frypot. 2. When the fryer is new, fill the frypot with water and clean thoroughly (see “Weekly Cleaning” on page 15) in order to remove protective coatings and any foreign matter. 3.
  • Page 14: Cooking Hints

    HIGH LIMIT CONTROL Gas floor model 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.
  • Page 15 4. Wipe off the basket support frame and the inside of the frypot with a clean cloth. CAUTION SOME AREAS OF THE FRYPOT MAY BE HOT! 5. Close drain valve and strain the oil back into the frypot through several thicknesses of cheesecloth, or filter it back using a filter machine.
  • Page 16: Service (For Authorized Service Technician Only)

    CHECKING AND ADJUSTING MAIN BURNERS The main burners should burn with a steady KFE, and the inner cone of the flame from each port should be about 3/4" long. The flame from each main burner should enter each heat tube without touching the front of the frypot or the sides, top, or bottom of each tube.
  • Page 17 CHECKING AND ADJUSTING PRESSURE REGULATOR The combination gas valve (includes pressure regulator) is factory set at 4" W.C. for natural gas and 10" W.C. for propane gas. To check the manifold pressure, do the following: 1. Turn thermostat “OFF” and combination gas valve knob to the “PILOT” setting. 2.
  • Page 18 CHECKING AND ADJUSTING AUTO SAFETY PILOT The pilot flame should surround the thermopile for 1/2". It must be large and sharp enough to cause the thermopile to glow a dull red, or sufficient to hold the safety valve open. 1. Remove pilot adjustment cap 2.
