    (NOTE: This table shows only the orifices used in elevations up to 1999 feet/609 meters. GF14 fryers have one orifice per deflector; GF40 fryers have two orifices per deflector assembly. GF14/GF40 Series Orifice Sizes (0-1999 ft/609 m) Fryer & Gas Type GF14 Natural GF14 Propane (LP) GF40 Natural GF40 Propane (LP) An electromechanical millivolt gas valve regulates gas flow to the burner manifold.

  • Page 6: Accessing Fryers For Servicing

    Fryers in the GF14/GF40 series 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. The high-limit thermostat acts as a normally closed power switch that opens when exposed to temperatures above 425ºF to 450ºF (218ºC to 232ºC).

    Replacing Fryer Components 1.7.1 Replacing the Operating Thermostat 1. Drain the fryer and turn the gas off. 2. Remove the thermostat knob by pulling straight out on the knob with a firm, steady pull. 3. Disconnect the wires from the thermostat.

  • Page 8: Replacing The High-Limit Thermostat

    11. Install the thermostat knob on the shaft of the thermostat control. 1.7.2 Replacing the High-Limit Thermostat 1. Drain the fryer and turn the gas off. 2. Disconnect the high-limit wires from the gas valve terminal block. 3. Use a slotted socket to unscrew the thermostat from the frypot.

    5. Connect the wires to the gas valve terminals as shown in the illustration below (polarity does not matter). 1.7.3 Replacing Deflectors Drain the fryer and disconnect it from the gas supply. Disconnect the wires from the gas valve terminal block, marking each wire to facilitate reconnection.

  • Page 10: Replacing The Gas Valve

    6. Reverse steps 1-4 to install the replacement valve, reconnecting the wiring in accordance with the wiring diagram on the door of the fryer or with the notes made in Step 2. Return the fryer to operation and check the burner manifold pressure, as detailed below.

  • Page 11: Replacing The Thermopile Or Pilot Assembly

    13. Remove the manometer or pressure gauge fitting from the pressure tap hole and reinstall the pipe plug. 14. Place the gas valve in the PILOT position and check for gas leaks. If no leaks are found, re-light the pilot and return the unit to operation. 1.7.5 Replacing the Thermopile or Pilot Assembly Drain the frypot or remove the handle from the drain valve before proceeding further.

  • Page 12: Replacing The Frypot

    2. Remove all accessories (e.g., frypot covers, drop-in probes, basket hangers, etc.). 3. Remove the screws from the sides and back of the flue cap and lift it off the fryer. 4. Remove the screws from the front cowling (front panel) and pull the bottom edge forward enough to disengage the upper door hinge pin from the hole in the bottom of the cowling.

  • Page 13: Troubleshooting And Problem Isolation

    1. Gas is not being supplied to the valve: Check for a closed gas cutoff valve upstream of the gas valve. Also verify that the gas line quick disconnect fitting at the rear of the fryer (if so equipped) is properly connected.
  • Page 14 Pilot Does Not Remain Lit When Gas Valve Knob is Released The electromechanical Honeywell gas valve used on the GF14 and GF40 fryers has a pair of normally open coils (electromagnetic switches) that close when low voltage is applied to them. If the coils do not close, the valve will not open to supply gas to the pilot or to the burner manifold.
  • Page 15 Flames “rolling” out of the fryer are usually an indication of negative pressure in the kitchen. 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. An obstructed flue, which prevents the fryer from properly exhausting, may also be the cause.

  • Page 16: Leaking

    1.8.4 Leaking Leakage of the frypot almost always will be due to improperly sealed high-limits, thermostats, or drain fittings. When installed or replaced, each of these components must be sealed with Loctite™ PST56765 sealant or equivalent to prevent leakage. In very rare cases, a leak may develop along one of the welded edges of the frypot.
