CHAPTER 4: FRYER OPERATIONS 4.1.1 Pilot Lighting Procedures, Electronic Ignition Systems Initial Pilot Lighting: All Frymaster Dean fryers are tested, adjusted and calibrated to sea level conditions before leaving the factory. Adjustments to assure proper operation of pilot may be necessary on installation to meet local conditions, low gas pressure, differences in altitude and variations in gas characteristics.
4.2.1 Filling Fryer with Oil A. When using oil, fill the fryer to the bottom OIL LEVEL line scribed into the back of the frypot. B. When using a solid shortening, cut it into small pieces and pack it below the heat tubes, between the tubes and on top of the tubes, leaving no air spaces around the tubes.
Frymaster recommends that a Frymaster filter cone holder and filter cone be used when a filter machine is not available. If you are using a Frymaster filter cone holder, be sure that the cone holder rests securely on the metal container.
DO NOT hammer on the drain valve with the cleanout rod or other objects. Damage to the ball inside will result in leaks and will void the Frymaster warranty. 4.
