WARNING!
IF THE MAIN BURNERS ARE
OPERATED WITH THE VESSEL
EMPTY, IRREPAIRABLE DAMGE
WILL OCCUR. IF THE VESSEL IS
DAMAGED IN THIS WAY, THE
ENTIRE VESSEL ASSEMBLY MUST
BE REPLACED.
F.
Open the manual shut-off valve on the
incoming service line.
G.
Apply a lighted match or taper to the
pilot burner head.
H.
Turn the gas cock on the safety valve to
"Pilot", depress and hold the dial until
the pilot stays lighted when the dial is
released. This may take a minute or
longer.
I.
If the pilot does not stay lit, depress the
dial and re-light it, holding the dial in
longer before releasing. It may be
necessary to re-light the pilot several
times until the lines are purged of any
trapped air and a constant gas flow is
attained.
J.
When the pilot stays lit, turn the gas cock
dial to "ON".
K.
Turn the thermostat or "Thermatron"
controller to any "ON" setting and ensure
the main burners ignite from the pilot.
WARNING!
When lighting pilots and checking
for burner performance, do NOT
stand with your face close to the
burners.... They may ignite with a
"pop" and could flash back and
cause facial burns.
4.3 PILOT LIGHT (Electric Spark Ignition)
WARNING!
NEVER USE A MATCH OR TAPER
TO LIGHT THIS IGNITION SYSTEM!
A.
Turn electric power "OFF".
B.
Close the main gas valve on the
incoming line and wait five minutes for
any accumulated gas to disperse.
C.
Turn gas "ON".
D.
Set thermostat to desired temperature. If
tank is water-filled, set thermostat at
195°F; if oil-filled, set thermostat at
350°F.
E.
Turn electrical power "ON". If the unit
is equipped with a drain reset circuit,
ensure the switch is reset before
proceeding.
F.
The blower motor will come on,
activating the "sail" switch in the flue.
Power from the sail switch will pass
through the transformer to the spark
module. The ignitor will spark and open
the gas control valve. Once the burners
ignite, the spark will stop. The
“Thermatron” controller or operating
thermostat now controls the fryer.
If the blower motor should fail, the main
gas valve will shut off the gas supply.
If the pilot flame fails, the ignition
module will shut down the unit and
lock out the system. To restart, turn
electric power "OFF", wait about 30
seconds for the system to recycle
itself, then turn on the power. Follow
steps (A) through (F) above.
