SUPER RUNNER 52 SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 4: DAILY OPERATION
4.1 Initial Startup
New units are wiped clean with solvents at
the factory to remove any visible signs of
dirt, oil, grease, etc., remaining from the
manufacturing process, then coated lightly
with oil. Wash thoroughly with hot, soapy
water to remove any film residue and dust or
debris before food preparation, then rinse out
and wipe dry. Wash also any accessories
shipped with the unit. Close the drain valve
completely and remove the crumb screen.
Make sure the screws holding the thermostat
and high-limit control sensing bulbs into the
vessel are tight.
WARNING
Do not use an open flame to check for the presence of gas inside the fryer
cabinet.
If the pilot fails to light, turn valve "OFF" wait 5 minutes before re-lighting to
allow any accumulated gas to dissipate.
4.2 Pilot Lighting Procedures
Initial Pilot Lighting: All 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. These adjustments correct possible problems caused by
rough handling or vibration during shipment, and are to be performed only by qualified
service personnel. These adjustments are the responsibility of the customer and/or the dealer
and are not covered by the Dean warranty.
The inlet pipe at the lower rear of the fryer brings incoming gas to the pilot safety control
valve, then to the pilot and main burners. The pilot is located high in the cabinet center, at
the
base of the fryer vessel.
