DEAN MILLIVOLT SERIES GAS FRYERS (NON-CE)
CHAPTER 4: FRYER OPERATIONS
4.1.1 Pilot Lighting Procedures, Standing Pilot Only
Initial Pilot Lighting: All Dean fryers are tested, adjusted and calibrated to sea level conditions before leaving the factory. Adjustments to assure proper operation of pilot may be necessary on installation to meet local conditions, low gas pressure, differences in altitude and variations in gas characteristics. These adjustments correct possible problems caused by rough handling or vibration during shipment, and are to be performed only by qualified service personnel. These adjustments are the responsibility of the customer and/or the dealer and are not covered by the Dean warranty.
