HIGH EFFICIENCY DECATHLON SERIES GAS FRYERS CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES 1.1 Functional Description High Efficiency Decathlon (HD) Series gas fryers contain a welded stainless steel frypot heated by gas flames diffused evenly through tubes built into the frypot. Flames originate from orifices in a burner manifold positioned beneath stamped-steel burners.
Page 7
The pilot flame must be manually lit when the fryer is first placed into operation. A separate 24V circuit, activated by the fryer ON/OFF switch, provides voltage through the Thermatron to the gas valve main coil, which opens the main valve.
Page 8
HD Series gas fryers may be equipped with Thermatron controls or Compu-Fry computers. In fryers equipped with Thermatron controls, the fryer is turned on and off by means of a rocker switch and the temperature is set by adjusting a potentiometer. An interface board is located in the component box (shield) behind the control panel (computer-equipped) or a Thermatron board is located in a component box inside the cabinet (Thermatron-equipped).

Probe Resistance* * Disconnect 15-pin harness from controller before testing probe circuit. ** See Probe Resistance Chart at the end of this chapter. HIGH EFFICIENCY DECATHLON (HD) FRYER Indicates power from 12V transformer. Indicates power from 24V transformer. Indicates output (closed) from latch relay (K4).
All HD Series gas fryers are equipped with a high-limit thermostat. In the event that the fryer fails to control the oil temperature, the high-limit thermostat prevents the fryer from overheating to flash point.

When the fryer is leveled in its final position, install the restraints provided with the unit to limit its movement so that it does not depend on or transmit stress to the electrical conduit or connection.
3. Insert the manometer fitting into the pressure tap hole. 4. Place the gas valve in the ON position then place the fryer power switch in the ON position. When the burner lights and continues to burn, check the gas pressure reading against the table on page 1-1.
2. Ensure the fryer ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position and light the pilot. 3. Place the fryer ON/OFF switch in the ON position. Set the potentiometer dial to 325°F (162°C). 4. Allow the oil to equalize at setpoint temperature. This is evident when the burners have cycled on and off several times.
2. Unscrew the two computer panel screws. The computer panel is hinged at the bottom and will swing open from the top. 3. Unplug the fryer wiring harness and ground wire from the back of the computer. 4. Remove the computer by lifting it from the hinge slots in the fryer control panel frame.
Page 17
1. Disconnect the fryer from the electrical supply. 2. Drain cooking oil from the frypot. Allow the frypot to cool completely before proceeding. 3. Remove fryer door for easier access to the temperature probe. First, remove top hinge from bracket. Then, lift door off bottom hinge pin.

HIGH EFFICIENCY DECATHLON SERIES GAS FRYERS CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES 1.7.4 Replacing the High-limit Thermostat 6. Locate the high-limit probe inside the frypot. Remove the high-limit probe mounting hardware. Retain mounting hardware for installation of new temperature probe 7. Carefully pull high-limit capillary tube and bulb out of the frypot from the bottom.
Page 22
1.7.4 Replacing the High-limit Thermostat 8. Mark and disconnect wires at the high-limit in the component box. 9. Remove high-limit from fryer by pulling the capillary tube and bulb through the component box opening (arrow). This may require removal of the control panel frame.
Page 23
1. Disconnect the fryer from the electrical supply. 2. If switches are located in a control box within the fryer, remove the six screws securing the switch panel to the control box. Do not allow the switch panel to hang from the switch wiring harness or other wires.
Page 24
1.7.6 Replacing the Gas Valve Drain the frypot or remove the handle from the drain valve before proceeding further. 1. Disconnect fryer from electrical and gas supplies. 2. Disconnect the wires from the gas valve terminal block, marking each wire to facilitate reconnections.
Page 25
1.7.8 Replacing the Frypot 1. Open fryer doors and remove filter pan (if applicable). Ensure computer and all power switches are off. Drain and dispose of or store oil from all frypots prior to moving fryer. Hot cooking oil will cause severe burns. Never attempt to move this appliance when filled with hot cooking oil or to transfer hot cooking oil from one container to 2.
1.7.8 Replacing the Frypot 6. Remove the top cap. It is held in place by one screw on each side of the fryer. If the fryer has a controller on the front, the top cap may also be held in place by two screws on the front of each pot.
Page 27
(Step 16). Use a screwdriver or similar tool to free flue cap from frypots. Remove flue cap by lifting up and off of fryer. Remove the screws (arrow) securing the flue cap to the frypot on the long edge.
Page 28
13. Remove the clevis clip and oil return handle rod from the oil return valve at the rear of the fryer. Slip Section A of the clevis clip off of the oil return handle by pulling up on the rings.
Page 29
Set aside for reassembly. 16. Remove the nipple attaching the oil return line to the bottom of the frypot at the rear of the fryer using a wrench. This may require removal of other pieces of the oil return manifold, as needed.

HIGH EFFICIENCY DECATHLON SERIES GAS FRYERS CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES 1.7.8 Replacing the Frypot 22. Remove the temperature probe from frypot. (See Section 1.7.3, Replacing the Temperature Probe: Computer–equipped Fryers, for specific instructions.) 23. Remove the high-limit from the frypot. 24.
Page 32
1.7.8 Replacing the Frypot 26. Ensure wires and tubes will not be caught on the frypot when it is removed. 27. Remove frypot from fryer by lifting up and out. 28. Position the frypot upside down on a suitable work surface.
Ignition failure occurs when the ignition module fails to sense a flame within the 60-second time delay period and locks out. Turn the fryer off, locate and fix the problem, then turn fryer back on to clear the module lock.
The Electronic Circuits If gas and electrical power are supplied to the fryer, the next most likely cause of ignition failure is a problem in the 24 VAC circuit of fryers equipped with electronic ignition systems, or in the pilot system for those without electronic ignition.
Page 35
If the fryer’s gas and air supplies are okay, the problem most likely is with one of the electrical components. Examine the ignition module for signs of melting, distortion, or discoloration due to excessive heat build-up in the fryer.
Page 36
Flames "rolling" out of the fryer are usually an indication of negative pressure in the kitchen and make up air blowing down the flue. Air is being sucked out of the fryer enclosure and the flames are literally following the air. If negative pressure is not the cause, check for high burner-manifold gas pressure in accordance with the procedures in Section 1.4.
Common Computer Complaints. Most problems concerning computers have to do with programming them. There are four common complaints. The complaints, their causes, and corrective actions are as follows: 1. Fryer constantly displays " Cause: Setpoint incorrect or missing. Corrective Action: Press then this to lock in the setpoint.
If the pump motor does not start, press the red reset switch located on the rear of the motor. Also, reset the filter circuit breaker located under the fryer control panel. If the pump then starts, something caused the motor to overheat. The pump most likely overheated for one of the following reasons: •...
