comes on.

6.Monitor the gas pressure reading on the manometer.

7.Adjust the gas valve regulator adjustment screw to obtain burner manifold pressure as follows:

J1C, J1X – Natural Gas – 4 in. W.C. (7.0 kPa).

J1C, J1X – LP Gas – 10.0 in. W.C. (2.50 kPa).

J2X – Natural Gas – 3 in. W.C. (.75 kPa).

J2X – LP Gas – 8.25 in. W.C. (2.0 kPa).

*Turning the screw clockwise increases pressure, counterclockwise decreases pressure.

8.Install the gas valve regulator cap screw when the correct manifold pressure is obtained.

9.Switch fryer off, remove the manometer fitting from the manifold tap hole, and reinstall the pressure tap plug.

7.6Replacing the Fryer Gas Valve

1.Disconnect the gas supply to the fryer.

2.Disconnect the wires from the gas valve terminal block. Mark wires to facilitate reinstallation.
