LIGHTING
WARNING
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO LIGHT THE FRYER,
MAKE SURE THE GAS CONNECTIONS ARE
SECURE AND HAVE BEEN LEAK TESTED AND
THE FRYER HAS BEEN PROPERLY FILLED WITH
OIL.
NOTE: For safety purposes, all Hi-Limit controls are
manually reset. Always check the Hi-Limit reset button
before attempting to use the fryer. If the Hi-Limit has
tripped, the fryer will not operate. (Located behind the
fryer door underneath the front panel).
NOTE : For a fryer with a Central or Zero-Space™
Filter, always check the rear drain operating handle
before attempting to use the fryer. A safety switch
prevents the fryer from operating if the handle is not
pushed in completely and latched. (See figure 3-2)
