PROBLEM

 

CAUSE

Pilot flame goes out

1. Low gas supply pressure [less than 6

repeatedly.

 

W.C. for natural gas (11W.C. for pro-

 

 

pane) when all other gas-powered equip-

 

 

ment is operating.].

 

2.

Loose thermocouple or high-limit thermo-

 

 

stat connection(s) on gas control valve.

 

3.

Pilot flame does not continuously touch

 

 

the thermocouple because of excessive

 

 

air flow around the pilot burner assembly.

 

4.

High-limit thermostat problem has shut off

 

 

the gas.

2.Low gas supply pressure [less than 6W.C. for natural gas (11W.C. for propane) when all other gas-powered equipment is operating.].

3.Pilot burner problem.

4.Thermostat control set below the tempera-

ture of the liquid shortening in the kettle.

REMEDY

1.Measure the gas supply pres- sure.

Contact your local gas supplier to obtain adequate gas supply volume and pressure.

2.Check and tighten the connec- tions.

3.Block the excessive air flow to make the pilot flame contact the thermocouple.

4.Check for, and repair, any dam- aged high-limit thermostat wir- ing. Otherwise, test the high- limit thermostat by bypassing the high-limit thermostat (black and blue wires) at the gas con- trol valve with a jumper wire. Next, perform the Lighting Pro- cedure, to check whether the pilot flame lights. If the pilot flame lights and stays lit, the high-limit thermostat has failed and must be replaced.

1.Perform the normal Lighting Procedure. Turn the gas control valve knob to ON to light the main burners.

If the burners do not light, the gas safety valve has failed and must be replaced.

2.Measure the gas supply pres- sure.

Contact your local gas supplier to obtain adequate gas supply volume and pressure.

3.Refer to the preceding Pilot Burner problems and use the correct remedy.

4.Increase the thermostat setting until the burners light. If this setting is greater than the desired temperature, reset the thermostat.
