WARNING
Never use a match or taper to light pilot on this ignition system.
24V Gas Valves for Electronic Ignition: Rotate the knob counter-clockwise to the ON position.
Rotate the knob clockwise to turn the gas valve to OFF.
1. Turn gas valve knob to ON.
2. Turn electric power on with the appropriate rocker switch.
3. The ignition module will energize the pilot gas supply and the ignitor. The ignitor spark will
ignite the pilot gas. The presence of the pilot flame is then proved by a flame sensor, which
sends a signal to the main gas supply, opening the valve. The Thermatron controller controls the
fryer after ignition.
WARNING
In the event of prolonged power failure, the ignition module will shut down and lock out the
system. Turn the unit power "OFF" and then back "ON" after power has been re-
established.
4. If the pilot flame fails, the ignition module will shut down and lock out the system. To restart,
turn the electric power off, wait approximately 5 minutes for the system to recycle itself, then
turn the power on again. Repeat Steps 1-3.
