CHAPTER 4: FRYER OPERATIONS

4.1.1 Pilot Lighting Procedures, Standing Pilot

WARNING

Do not bang fry baskets or other utensils on the fryer’s joiner strip. The strip is present to seal the joint between the frypot. Banging fry baskets on the strip to dislodge shortening will distort the strip, adversely affecting its fit. It is designed for a tight fit and should only be removed for cleaning.

DANGER

Never operate this appliance with an empty frypot. The frypot must be filled with water or cooking oil/shortening before lighting the burners. Failure to do so will damage the frypot and may cause a fire.

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.

The inlet pipe at the lower rear of the fryer brings incoming gas to the pilot safety control valve, then to the pilot and main burners. The pilot is located high in the cabinet, at the base of the frypot.

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.

CE Units Only:

Ensure that the following steps are done in sequence before lighting or re-lighting the pilot:

1.Turn off the manual shut-off valve on the incoming service line.

2.Turn the Thermatron controller to the lowest setting.

3.Depress the red button on the safety control valve to turn Off.

4.Wait at least 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to disperse.

5.Fill the frypot with oil or water to the appropriate oil level line scribed on the frypot back.

6.Open the manual shut-off valve on the incoming service line.

7.Apply a lighted match or taper to the pilot burner head. (If fryer is equipped with a piezo ignitor, go to Step 8).
