e.Turn the fryer gas valve knob to the “ON” position. Allow the fryer to bring the water to a low boil and add one packet of Pitco fryer cleaner or a mild, low sudsing detergent and allow water to continue to boil for a minute, making sure water does not boil over.

f..Turn the gas valve knob to the “PILOT” position and allow fryer to soak with the hot water for 15 minutes.

g.Using the fryer cleaning brush, scrub the inside of the fryer to remove protective coating.

h.When cleaning is complete, turn the gas valve knob to the “OFF” position and drain the water into a container suitable for hot water and dispose of it.

i.When the tank has cooled, rinse it thoroughly with cool water. Continue to rinse the tank until the cleaner has been rinsed, thoroughly from the tank.

j.Using a clean dry cloth, wipe out all of the water. Be very thorough removing the water, because any residual water will cause hot oil to splatter out of the fryer. Close the drain valve and remove container.

k.Now that the tank is clean, you are ready to fill and operate the fryer. Refer to instructions on adding shortening to the fryer.

WARNING

Gas units installed with casters must have a restraining device. This device must be connected at all times that the

fryer is connected to the gas supply. If it is disconnected for any reason, it must be reconnected.

Thermostat Calibration Check

NOTICE

Thermostat calibration requires that the temperature of the fryer be raised above boiling. Therefore, you will need to drain the water from the fryer and fill it with oil. Before removing the water, perform the initial cleaning of the fryer. Cleaning the fryer now will prevent you from having to drain the oil and refill with water later.

To perform the calibration check detailed below you will need a digital thermometer.

a.Place the tip of the thermometer in the shortening approximately 1" above the temperature sensors.

b.Set the thermostat at 325°F and wait for the temperature reading on the thermometer to rise. As the temperature rises toward 325°F watch the thermometer closely.

c.If the shortening temperature reaches 350°F and the burners DO NOT turn off, turn the thermostat down. Keep lowering the thermostat setting until the burners go out.

CAUTION

If the burners do not turn off at the lowest thermostat setting, the thermostat could be

defective. Contact your representative immediately.

d.Let the fryer cycle 4 to 6 times before checking the temperature. Compare the thermometer temperature against the thermostat setting. If the values are more than 5°F apart, calibrate the thermostat using the appropriate calibration procedure in this manual.

THERMOSTATCALIBRATION

Millivolt thermostats

a.Set the thermostat dial to 325o F.

b.Remove the thermostat dial by pulling the knob straight out. DO NOT rotate the dial.

c.Hold the outside of the shaft so it does not move. Use the tip of a small, flat tip screw driver to scrape away the sealing compound from the adjustment screw.

d.Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to lower the temperature setting and counterclockwise to raise the temperature. One quarter turn changes the temperature approximately 25o F.

e.Turn the adjustment until the burners turn on at 325o F. Replace the knob and allow the fryer to cycle 4 to 6 times. Check the temperature of the thermometer against the thermostat dial. If it is greater than 5o F differ ence, repeat the calibration procedure.

f.When the calibration is correct, remove the thermometer and replace the tube screen.

Filling the fryer with liquid shortening

a.Make sure the drain valve is completely closed.

b.Fill the fryer with oil to the "Oil Level" line marked on the back of the tank.
