DO NOT apply compound to the first two threads. This will ensure that the burner orifices and control valve do not become clogged. 2. Open the gas supply to the fryer and check all piping, fittings, and gas connections for leaks. A soap solution should be used for this purpose.
Converting to Another Gas Type Your fryer is configured at the factory for either natural gas or propane (LP) gas. If you desire to switch from one type of gas to another, a gas conversion kit must be installed by a Factory Authorized Service Center technician.
In addition, after the fryer has been in use for a period of time, a hard film of caramelized vegetable oil will form on the inside of the frypot. This film should be periodically removed by following the boil-out procedure.
CHAPTER 3: SERVICE PROCEDURES, TROUBLESHOOTING AND WIRING DIAGRAMS Functional Description H52 Series fryers contain a welded stainless steel frypot that is directly heated by a high efficiency infrared burner system requiring approximately 43% less energy than conventional burners to cook the same volume.
Page 19
Circuitry in the ignition module sends 24VAC to the gas valve via a normally closed high-limit switch (and, in BIH52 fryers, a normally closed drain safety switch). Simultaneously, the module causes the ignitor to spark for 4 seconds to light the burner. A flame sensor verifies the burner is lit by measuring the flow of microamps through the flame.

The temperatures are programmed by means of a keypad or knob on the face of the control- ler. H52 Series fryers are also equipped with a high-limit thermostat. In the event that the fryer fails to properly control the oil temperature, the high-limit thermostat prevents the fryer from overheating to the flash point.
3. On non-CE fryers only, place the gas valve in the ON position. 4. Place the fryer power switch in the ON position. When the burner has lit and burned steadily for at least one minute, compare the gas pressure reading to the pressure for the corresponding gas in the appropriate table found on the following page.

Non-CE Valve 6. Place the fryer power switch (and the gas valve in non-CE fryers) in the OFF position. Remove the fitting from the pressure tap hole and reinstall the pressure tap plug. Measuring Flame Current When the burner flame is properly adjusted, it will produce a current between 2.5 µA and 3.5 µA.
6. Remove the screws securing the topcap to the fryer and lift the topcap up and off the fryer. 7. Disconnect the ignition cables from the ignitors by grasping the boots and gently pulling toward you.
3.6.4 Replacing an Ignition Module 1. Disconnect the fryer from the electrical supply. 2. Remove the screws from the upper corners of the control panel and swing the panel open from the top, allowing it to rest on its hinge tabs.

A sheet metal shield or shield assembly prevents inadvertent access to the blower assembly. The specific design varies depending upon the particular configuration of the fryer and the country for which manufactured, but in all cases, the shield is attached to the cabinet framing by sheet metal screws.
Page 29
5. Reinstall the blower shield or shield assembly. 6. Light the fryer in accordance with the procedure described in Chapter 3, Section 3.1. 7. After the burners have been lit for at least 90 seconds, observe the flames through the burner viewing ports located on each side of the combustion air blower.
Page 30
Non-CE Units and CE Units Built After April 1999 On the side of the blower housing opposite the motor is a plate with one or two locking nuts. Loosen the nut(s) enough to allow the plate to be moved, then adjust the position of the plate to open or close the air intake opening until a bright orange-red glow is obtained.
3. Remove the four nuts from the air plenum assembly and pull the assembly straight out toward you until it clears the burner tubes. NOTE: On a dual vat fryer, it will be necessary to remove the drain valve handles before the plenum can be removed.
NOTE: Use P/N 826-0931 for full vat frypots and P/N 826-0932 for dual vat frypots. 13. Reverse steps 1 through 9 to reassemble the components. 14. Fill the frypot with oil. Turn the fryer on, turn off or bypass the melt cycle, and operate the unit for at least 10 minutes.
Page 33
10. On BIH52 units, remove the cover from the safety drain switch, disconnect the wires from the switch, and pull them out of the switch box. 11. On BIH52 units, remove the section(s) of square drain from the drain valve(s) of the frypot to be removed.
3.6.10 Replacing Frypot Insulation and/or Upper Burner Rails NOTE: Replacing the burner rails requires completely tearing down the frypot and installing new frypot insulation. Refer to the frypot exploded view on page 3-18 for component identification. 1. Remove the frypot per Section 3.6.9. 2.
Page 36
15. Install the upper burner rails (2) with the heat deflectors slanting toward the rear of the frypot. The rails will cover the “L” shaped pieces of combustion chamber insulation previously installed. 3-19...
Page 37
16. Place the upper inner combustion chamber insulation and insulation retainers (3) on the top two studs on each side of the front of the frypot and secure with ¼-20 washer-nuts. (It is normal for the retainers to slice off the overhanging insulation.) 17.
NOTE: Full vat units have a two-piece insulation retainer. Dual vat units have a one-piece re- tainer. 27. If necessary, replace the sight-glasses and insulation (14). 28. Place one washer and one 1.888-inch spacer (15) on each stud. NOTE: There are three different sizes of spacers. Verify the size to ensure the correct spacers are installed.
24VAC circuit. If the fryer is equipped with a built-in filtration system (BIH52 models), first verify that the drain valve is fully closed. (The valve is attached to a mi- croswitch that must be closed for power to reach the gas valve. Often, although the valve handle ap- pears to be in the closed position, the microswitch is still open.) If the valve is fully closed, or the...
Page 40
If the fryer’s gas and air supplies are okay, the problem is most likely with one of the electrical com- ponents. Examine the ignition module and controller for signs of melting/distortion and/or discol- oration due to excessive heat build-up in the fryer.
Page 41
Check for proper operation by disconnecting the wire from the ignitor (spark plug), inserting the tip of a screw driver into the terminal, and holding it near the frame of the fryer as the power switch is placed in the ON position. A strong, blue spark should be generated for at least 4 seconds.

LOCK CLEARED. 3.7.5 Filtration Problems BIH52 units are equipped with FootPrint III built-in filtration systems. The majority of filtration problems arise from operator error. One of the most common errors is placing the filter paper on the bottom of the filter pan rather than over the filter screen.
Page 43
Whenever the complaint is “the pump is running, but no oil is being filtered,” check the installation of the filter paper, including that the correct size is being used. While you are checking the filter pa- per, verify that the O-ring on the bottom of the filter pan is present and in good condition. A missing or worn O-ring will allow the pump to suck air and decrease its efficiency.
Page 44
Improperly sized or installed paper will also allow food particles and sediment to pass through and clog the suction tube on the bottom of the filter carriage. Particles large enough to block the suction tube may indicate that the crumb tray is not being used. Pan blockage can also occur if shortening is left in the pan and allowed to solidify.

oil/shortening to drain back to the filter pan when the filter system is turned off, eliminating the need for most heated oil return components. Operation of the redesigned FP-III system is the same as for the original design. ORIGINAL VS REDESIGNED FP-III FILTRATION SYSTEM Original System Return lines and manifolds wrapped with silicone strip heaters and aluminum tape.
and miscellaneous standard black metal fittings for connections. This design allows oil/shortening to bypass the pump as it drains from the oil return lines back into the filter pan when the system is turned off. Bypassing the pump expedites draining of the lines. The pump solenoid leads are con- nected to Pins 7 and 9 of the upper 9-pin plug assembly.

Problem is with 24VAC Circuit. Refer to "Troubleshooting the 24VAC Circuit" on page 3-30. Problem is with gas supply to fryer. Probable cause is misadjusted or failed gas valve. Adjust gas valve in accordance with Section 3.4 of this manual. If valve cannot be adjusted, replace valve.
3.8.3 Troubleshooting the Temperature Probe Problem is not with probe. Note: Disconnect computer before measuring probe resistance. While it is still in the frypot, inspect probe body for damage. Remove and replace if bent, dented or cracked. Inspect leads for fraying, burning, breaks, and/or kinks.
