If the closed circuit check shows thermocouple output is greater than 8 millivolts and pilot will
not remain lit when reset button is released, replace safety pilot valve.
3. Thermocouple lead connections must be tight, clean, and free of grease. The thermocouple nut
should be started and turned all the way by hand. An additional quarter turn with a small wrench
will then be sufficient.
CAUTION: OVERTIGHTENING MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE THERMOCOUPLE
OR MAGNET AND IS UNNECESSARY SINCE THIS IS AN ELECTRIC CONNECTION.
FRY TOP THERMOSTAT
The Model BJ Robertshaw is a combination thermostat and gas valve. The gas is turned on and
the temperature setting made by a single rotation of the dial. This valve automatically locks itself in
the OFF position. To use, push dial inward, rotate counterclockwise to the desired temperature. To
shut gas off, rotate clockwise to OFF position.
This thermostat is a precision instrument carefully made and properly calibrated (i.e. the dial is
properly set) at the factory to control temperatures accurately. It should control temperatures for the
proper cooking of food without recalibration. The calibration of this thermostat should not be
changed until considerable experience with cooking results has definitely proved that the
thermostat is not maintaining the proper temperature.
CAUTION: THE RECALIBRATION SHOULD NOT BE MADE UNTIL THE BYPASS
(MINIMUM BURNER) FLAME HAS BEEN PROPERLY ADJUSTED.
THERMOSTAT INSTALLATION
With front of the griddle plate raised, slide the thermostat bulb assembly into the support
brackets attached to the underside of the fry top plate. Tighten the two holding screws. The excess
capillary tube should be pulled forward and down as low as possible out of the heat zone, so that
there is no chance of it coming in contact with the burner flame. Push the sleeving up against the
bulb holder. A loose fit between the bulb holder and plate may damage the thermostat so that it will
not control the temperature of the fry top plate.
