FRYER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)
LIGHTING PROCEDURE
NOTE: The gas line of a new fryer installation may contain a considerable amount of air which will hinder immediate lighting. You may have to press in the control knob as long as several minutes before the pilot flame burns steadily.
1.Open the front door and ensure that the fryer’s thermostat knob is set to OFF.
2.Open the gas supply line inlet valve to the fryer by aligning the gas valve handle with the gas line piping.
3.Turn the gas control valve knob to align the PILOT setting with the valve mark. Figure 6 shows the possible control knob positions.
4.Press, and hold down, the valve control knob to allow pilot gas to flow. Apply a lighted
match to the end of the pilot burner, until the pilot flame lights.
NOTE: A butane lighter may also be used to light the pilot flame.
Continue holding down the control knob for at least 30 seconds until the pilot flame burns steadily, without going out.
5.Release the control knob and observe that the pilot flame remains lighted.
6.Turn the gas control valve knob to align the ON setting with the valve mark.
7.Turn the thermostat knob to the desired temperature. Observe that the fryer’s main burners light to heat the kettle.
