AUTOMATIC PILOT VALVE
The Automatic Pilot Valve provides an automatic safety shutoff for the fryer when the pilot flame is
extinguished. When the pilot flame is burning, the valve is held open electromagnetically by the electrical
current from a thermopile in the pilot flame. When the pilot flame goes out, generation of current ceases
and the valve closes automatically.
HIGH LIMIT CONTROL
IRON RANGE Fryers are equipped with a secondary heat control that prevents the oil temperature from
rising above 450°F. (Because of the accuracy tolerance of the sensor, the oil temperature may reach as
high as 475°F.)
In the event the fryer shuts down due to this condition, the oil must be cooled to below 400°F before the
pilot burner can be re-
ignited. When the oil has cooled, use the “Lighting” procedure on page 12 to place
the fryer back in operation. If the problem persists, contact your IRON RANGE Service Representative or
the IRON RANGE Service Department.

USER TIPS
• Smoking oil means that the temperature is too high, or that the oil has broken down. Time to filter or
replace.
• Gum in frypot denotes a need for thorough cleaning (see “Weekly Cleaning” on page 14)
• Use different oil for oily foods (mackerel, nutmeg, etc.) other than for foods with water-soluble
flavors (potatoes, onions, etc.).
• Taste cool oil for quality. Replace it regularly.
• Remember, good oil produces good food.
