Gas Deep Fat Fryer
GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR
The regulator is factory set as specified on the rating plate. If it should be necessary to check the
manifold pressure, remove the 1/8" pipe plug from the top part of the burner manifold and attach a
pressure gauge. To adjust gas pressure, unscrew cap from pressure regulator on control valve and turn
screw to the right to increase and left to decrease the gas pressure to its proper setting. Replace cap.
Manifold Pressure should be no more than 10" water column for LP gas or 3 1/2" for natural gas.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Wait 5 minutes before relighting pilot.
2. Open front door.
3. Turn thermostat to "OFF" position.
4. Turn valve knob to "PILOT." Push knob in completely. Light pilot through opening on front of unit.
Hold button in for sixty seconds or until pilot remains lit.
5. Check if drain valve is in closed position.
6. Add liquid fat as required.
7. Turn valve knob to "ON." Set thermostat to desired temperature.
8. To turn all gas off to valve control and to pilot, turn valve knob to "OFF" position
(complete shutdown).
TO ADJUST PILOT
1. Open the front door panel.
2. Turn the adjustment screw to the right or left to decrease or
increase pilot flame. (Flame must surround thermocouple
tips by approximately 1/2" (1.2cm).)
THERMOSTAT RECALIBRATION
1. To determine whether or not the thermostat should
be recalibrated, use an accurate thermometer located
approximately in the center of the kettle with the bulb 1" (2.4cm) below the top of the fat.
2. Set thermostat to 350°F (177° C) and check the thermometer reading when burner flame goes
off. Temperature should be approximately 5°F (3°C) less than the thermostat dial setting.
3. If not:
a. Without disturbing thermostat, pull knob forward and remove from shaft.
b. Turn screw in center of shaft clockwise to decrease temperature or counterclockwise
to increase temperature. NOTE: 1/4 turn of this screw will result in a change of
approximately 30°F (17°C).
c. Replace knob.
4. Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 until correct.
HIGH LIMIT THERMOSTAT
These units are equipped with a manual reset high temperature limit type thermostat. This thermostat
will shut off the electric current to the magnetic gas valve, which shuts off the gas if the fat temperature
reaches 450°F (232°C). The fryer will not operate until the red reset button is pushed in.
Should the high temperature limit thermostat operate, the temperature regulating thermostat should be
checked for malfunctions. The high limit thermostat is located inside the fryer to your right and can be
reached when the door is open.
DO NOT REMOVE FEET!
DO NOT HEAT AN EMPTY KETTLE.
HOT FAT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. DO NOT COME IN DIRECT CONTACT
WITH HOT FAT.
CAUTION
Adjust Pilot
