CHAPTER 4: DAILY OPERATION
4.1 Initial Startup
New units are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to remove any visible signs of dirt, oil, grease, etc., remaining from the manufacturing process, then coated lightly with oil. Wash thoroughly with hot, soapy water to remove any film residue and dust or debris before food preparation, then rinse out and wipe dry. Wash also any accessories shipped with the unit. Close the drain valve completely and remove the crumb screen. Make sure the screws holding the thermostat and
vessel are tight. | Fry vessel drain valve. |
WARNING
Do not use an open flame to check for the presence of gas inside the fryer
cabinet.
If the pilot fails to light, turn valve "OFF" wait 5 minutes before
allow any accumulated gas to dissipate.
4.2 Pilot Lighting Procedures
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 center, at the base of the fryer vessel.
