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.
