2.1.2 Pilot Lighting Procedures
NOTE: This fryer was tested, adjusted and calibrated to sea level conditions before leaving the factory. Adjustments
may be necessary to meet local conditions and are to be performed only by qualified service personnel. Adjustments are
the responsibilities of the customer or dealer and are not covered by Dean warranty.
The pilot is located high in the cabinet center, at the base of the frypot. Use a long match or taper to light the pilot.
Perform the following steps in sequence before lighting the pilot:
1. Turn off the manual shut-off valve on the incoming gas supply line.
2. Turn the operating thermostat to the OFF position.
3. Depress and turn the gas valve knob to the OFF position.
4. Wait at least 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to disperse.
5. Fill the frypot with oil, shortening or water to the bottom OIL LEVEL line scribed on the frypot back. Ensure
heating tubes are covered in liquid prior to engaging burners.
NOTE: If solid shortening is used, pack the shortening into the frypot, ensuring the shortening is packed beneath,
between and above the tubes prior to operating fryer.
6. Open the manual shut-off valve on the incoming gas supply line and rotate the gas valve knob to the PILOT
position.
7. Push and hold the knob in and apply a lighted match or taper to the pilot burner head. Continue to hold the knob in
for about 60 seconds after the flame appears on the pilot. Release the knob. The pilot should remain lit.
DANGER
If the pilot fails to remain lit, turn the gas valve "OFF" and wait 5 minutes before attempting to re-light.
