Frymaster Tech Support for Safe and Efficient Fryer Operation

When using thread compound, use very small amounts on male threads only. Use a pipe thread compound that is not affected by the chemical action of LP gases (Loctite™ PST56765 Sealant is one such compound). DO NOT apply compound to the first two threads. This will ensure that the burner orifices and control valve do not become clogged.

2.Open the gas supply to the fryer and check all piping, fittings, and gas connections for leaks. A soap solution should be used for this purpose.

DANGER

Never use matches, candles, or any other ignition source to check for leaks. If gas odors are detected, shut off the gas supply to the fryer at the main shut-off valve and contact the local gas company or an authorized service agency for service.

3.Close the fryer drain valve and fill the frypot with water and boil-out solution to the bottom OIL LEVEL line at the rear of the frypot. Light the fryer and perform the boil-out procedures that are described in the “Lighting Instructions” and “Boiling Out the Frypot” topics found in Chapter 3 of this manual.

WARNING

“Dry-firing” your unit will cause damage to the frypot. Always ensure that melted shortening, cooking oil, or water and boil-out solution is in the frypot before firing your unit for any extended period.

4.It is suggested that the burner manifold pressure be checked at this time by the local gas company or an authorized service agent.
