  • Page 20 1.14 Adjusting the Pilot Flame Remove the cap from the pilot adjustment screw hole on the gas valve. Using a small, flat-tipped screwdriver, turn the pilot adjusting screw counterclockwise to increase length of flame or clockwise to decrease length of flame. Adjust to obtain a flame from 1 inch to 1½ inches long. Reinstall the pilot adjustment screw cap.
  • Page 21 Disconnect the cables attached to the component, marking or making a note of the connectors to facilitate reconnection. Remove the hardware attaching the components. Remove the component from the box. When removing the boards, be careful not to lose the spacers that fit over the studs behind the boards.
  • Page 22 11. Remove the insulation from the old temperature probe wires to reuse on the new temperature probe. 12. Feed the new temperature probe from the top side of the frypot. 13. Apply Loctite™ PST 567 or equivalent sealant to the threads of the replacement and loosely attach the compression fittings.
  • Page 23 switch (see Figure 14). Remove the side access panel if applicable. Disconnect the two-pin connector from the float switch (see Figure 15). Using a pin-pusher push the pins of the float switch out of the connector. Remove the insulation from the old float switch wires and reuse on the new float switch. Remove the retaining ring at the top of the float (see Figure 16).
  • Page 24 1.15.8 Replacing the VIB (AIF) Probe VIB (AIF) Probe Disconnect the fryer from the electrical supply or remove fuse on bottom of associated control box. Drain cooking oil below the level of the VIB (AIF) probe to be replaced (see Figure 22).
  • Page 25 Remove all fittings from the old gas valve and install them on the replacement valve, using Loctite ® PST56765 or equivalent pipe thread sealant. Do not apply sealant to the first two pipe threads. Doing so will clog and damage the gas valve.
  • Page 26 13. At the front of the fryer, tighten the two nuts and bolts at the front of the motor mount. Reconnect the motor power wires and reinstall the wiring cover plate. 14. Reconnect the oil return flexline and reinstall the filter pan. 15.
  • Page 27 26. Remove screws securing flue cap to frypot (access from above; a nut-driver with an extension or long screwdriver is required). Use care not to drop the screws into the flues. If this happens, the screws can be retrieved when the flue is removed.
  • Page 28 The probable causes of each category are discussed in the following sections. A series of troubleshooting steps assist in solving some of the more common problems. 1.16.1 Heating (Ignition) Failure Heating (ignition) failure occurs when the ignition module fails to sense a pilot flame within the 90-second time delay period and locks out.
  • Page 29 1.16.2 Improper Burner Function With problems in this category, the burner ignites but exhibits abnormal characteristics such as “popping,” fluctuating flame intensity, and flames shooting out of the flue. “Popping” indicates delayed ignition. In this condition, the main gas valve is opening but the burner is not immediately lighting.
  • Page 30 Burners lighting on the left side only may be caused by a trailing pilot problem (four- and five-tube frypots) or improper burner manifold pressure. Fluctuating flame intensity is normally caused by either improper or fluctuating incoming gas pressure but may also be the result of variations in the kitchen atmosphere.
  • Page 31 air and decrease its efficiency. Also check the pre-filter. A plugged pre-filter (see Figure 34) can slow the flow of oil. Use the attached wrench to open (see Figure 35) and clean the pre-filter (see Figure 36). Ensure the pre-filter is tight and the O-ring is present to prevent air from entering the line and causing slow oil return.
  • Page 32 The clamps on the rubber boots that hold the drain tube sections together may loosen over time as the tubes expand and contract with heating and cooling during use. Also, the boot itself may be damaged. If the section of drain tube connected to the drain valve is removed for any reason, ensure that its rubber and clamps are in good condition and properly fitted around the drain tube when it is reinstalled.
  • Page 33 1.17.2 Troubleshooting the Gas Valve Prior to checking for problems associated with the gas valve, ensure that the unit is calling for heat. Also, for non-CE units, verify that the gas valve is in the ON position. The following processes will assist you in troubleshooting the gas valve and ruling it out as a probable cause: If 24 VAC is not present across gas valve main coil, the probable cause is the 24 VAC circuit.
