MGF24 GAS FRYER REPLACEMENT PARTS

REPLACING THE AUTOMATIC SOLENOID VALVE

1.

Disconnect wire leads to the automatic valve.

2.

If the fryer is equipped with an automatic valve located 

behind the front panel,

 follow steps described in

"Replacing the Pressure Regulator and Safety Pilot Valve."

3.

If the fryer is equipped with the automatic valve located 

underneath 

the fryer, disconnect supply tubings to

the automatic valve and remove the valve.

4.

After assembling the valve, connect wire leads to corresponding terminals.  Check completed circuit against
wiring diagram on rear panel.

5.

Wire leads from the automatic valve (step 3 above) must be protected by wrapping them with insulating
tape supplied with the replacement valve.

REPLACING THE MERCURY SWITCH

1.

Remove the screws securing the pivotal head (located above fry tank).  Remove pivotal head cover and
gasket.

2.

Dislodge mercury switch from the mounting clip.

3.

Disconnect mercury switch leads and reconnect them to corresponding leads of replacement switch.

4.

Snap mount mercury switch in the mounting clip in the same position as the original mercury switch.

5.

Check mounted position of mercury switch by rotating the pivotal head to its stop position.  In this position
the liquid inside the bulb should move to expose at least one lead (located inside the bulb), thus disconnecting
the electrical circuit.

6.

Reassemble pivotal head and gasket.

REPLACING HI-LIMIT THERMOSTAT

1.

Remove the mercury switch as in steps 1 through 3 above.

2.

Remove Hi-Limit thermostat bulb and capillary tube clamps from support rod located below the pivotal
head.

3.

Dislodge capillary bushing from hole in front of pivotal head.

4.

Disconnect the wire lead to the damaged high limit thermostat.

5.

Remove screws securing the high limit thermostat.

6.

Remove thermostat and thread capillary and bulb through the hole in the pivotal head.

7.

To reassemble, reverse steps 2 through 6 above, and steps 4 through 6 under "Replacing the Mercury
Switch."

8.

Check the completed circuit against the circuit diagram on the rear panel.
