WARNING

Never use a match or taper to light pilot on this ignition system.

1.Ensure the frypot is filled to the appropriate line with oil or water.

2.Turn gas "ON".

3.Turn electric power "ON" with the power button on the computer.

4.The ignition module will energize the pilot gas supply and the ignitor. The ignitor spark will ignite the pilot gas. The presence of the pilot flame is then proved by a flame sensor, which sends a signal to the main gas supply, opening the valve. The computer controls the fryer after ignition.

WARNING

In the event of prolonged power failure, the ignition module will shut down and lock out the system. Turn the unit power "OFF" and then back "ON" after power has been re-established.

5.If the pilot flame fails, the ignition module will shut down and lock out the system. To restart, turn the computer "OFF", wait approximately 5 minutes for the system to recycle itself, then turn the computer "ON" again. Repeat Steps 1-3.

6.See operational instructions in 1814 Computer manual. Do not leave the fryer unattended during operation.

WARNING

When checking for burner ignition or performance, do not get too close to the burners. Slow ignition can cause possible flashback, increasing the potential for facial and body burns.
