BID80 SERIES GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 4: FRYER OPERATIONS
4-2
4.1.1 Pilot Lighting Procedures, Electronic Ignition Systems (cont.)
3. The electric module will turn on the pilot gas supply and the electric ignition spark. The
spark will ignite the pilot gas. The presence of the pilot flame is then proved by the
electric flame sensor, which in turn allows the main gas supply to be turned on. The
operating thermostat or computer/controller controls the fryer after ignition.
WARNING
In the event of prolonged power failure, the ignition module will shut down and lock
out the system. Turn the unit power "OFF" and them back "ON" after power has
been re-established.
4. If the pilot flame fails, the ignition module will shut down and lock out the system. To
restart, turn the electric power "OFF", wait approximately 5 minutes for the system to
recycle itself, then turn the power "ON" again. Repeat Steps 1-3.
4.2 Boil-Out Procedure DANGER
Never leave the fryer unattended during the boil-out process. If the boil-out solution
boils over, turn the fryer off immediately and let the solution cool for a few minutes
before resuming the process. To lessen the chance of boil over, turn the fryer’s gas
valve knob to the PILOT position occasionally.
WARNING
Do not drain boil-out solution into a shortening disposal unit, a built-in filtration unit,
or a portable filter unit. These units are not intended for this purpose, and will be
damaged by the solution.
DANGER
Remove all drops of water from the frypot before filling with cooking oil or
shortening. Failure to do so will cause spattering of hot liquid when the oil or
shortening is heated to cooking temperature and may cause injury to nearby
personnel.
A. Before switching the fryer(s) "ON", close the frypot drain valve(s). Fill the empty frypot
with a mixture of cold water and boil-out solution. Follow instructions when mixing.
B. To program computer for Boil Feature, press either switch.
