LIGHTING AND SHUTDOWN INSTRUCTIONS
1. Before attempting to light this appliance, the cover if so equipped, shall be open.
2. Open the burner compartment door and turn thermostat to “OFF.
3. Turn the combination gas control knob to the “OFF” position.
4. Wait 5 minutes.
5. Press down the knob of the combination gas valve, turn it counterclockwise to the “PILOT” position (shown), and continue to press the knob down.
6. While pressing the knob down, use a lit match to ignite the pilot. Continue to press the knob down for about 30 seconds. If the pilot does not stay lit when the knob
is released, wait 5 minutes before attempting to relight the pilot to allow any built up gas to dissipate. Repeat the lighting procedure and keep the knob down longer.
Adjustment of pilot flame may be necessary.
7. When the pilot stays lit, turn the knob counterclockwise to the “ON” position. Do not press down on the knob in this step.
8. Do NOT turn the thermostat “ON” until the fry pot is filled with oil shortening.
9. Once the fry pot is filled with oil or shortening, set the thermostat to the desired temperature.
10. Close door.
11. For complete shut down, repeat steps 2 - 4
FILLING THE FRYPOT
1. Close drain valve completely before filling the fry pot.
2. When the fryer is new, fill the fry pot with water and clean thoroughly (see “Weekly Cleaning” on page 8) in order to remove protective coatings and any foreign
matter.
3. The recommended solid shortening capacity for the fry pot (35, 55 or 75lbs) is described on the serial plate (which is located inside the front door).
4. Remove the basket support frame when filling the fry pot with solid shortening.
5. When solid shortening is used, be careful not to bend, break, or twist the thin capillary wires of the sensing elements located in the fry pot.
6. Pack solid shortening into the zone below the tubes, all spaces between the tubes, and at least an inch above the top of the tubes before lighting the fryer. If any air
spaces are left around the heat tube surfaces when the heat is turned on, the tube surfaces will become red hot, burn the solid shortening, weaken the fr y pot, and
could result in a fire.

WARNING
IF YOU SMELL GAS DURING THE LIGHTING PROCEDURE, IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF THE LIGHTING GAS SUPPLY
UNTIL THE LEAK HAS BEEN CORRECTED. AND WAIT FIVE MINUTES
