Proper spacing of the top edge of the burner
ceramic targets is ¾ inch (13 mm) from the
frypot side. To adjust target spacing, bend the
brackets to which they are attached away or
toward the frypot to the proper distance. (A
length of board of the proper thickness is use-
ful as a gauge to verify spacing and align-
ment.)

Adjusting the Pilot Flame

1. Remove the cap from the pilot adjustment
screw hole on the gas valve.
2. 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.
3. Reinstall the pilot adjustment screw cap.
7.7 Calibrating the Thermostat
Control
NOTE: The fryer control panel must be
hinged down from the control panel mounting
frame to perform thermostat calibration. In
order to hinge the control panel down, the
thermostat knob must be removed from its
shaft.
1. Fill the frypot to the lower OIL-LEVEL
line with cooking oil/shortening. If solid
shortening is used, it must be pre-melted
before starting the calibration procedure.
2. Ensure the fryer ON/OFF Switch is in the
OFF position, then light the pilot. (Refer
to Chapter 3 for detailed lighting instruc-
tions.)
