comes on.

6.Monitor the gas pressure reading on the manometer.

7.Adjust the gas valve regulator adjustment screw to obtain burner manifold pressure as follows:

J1C, J1X – Natural Gas – 4 in. W.C. (7.0 kPa).

J1C, J1X – LP Gas – 10.0 in. W.C. (2.50 kPa).

J2X – Natural Gas – 3 in. W.C. (.75 kPa).

J2X – LP Gas – 8.25 in. W.C. (2.0 kPa).

*Turning the screw clockwise increases pressure, counterclockwise decreases pressure.

8.Install the gas valve regulator cap screw when the correct manifold pressure is obtained.

9.Switch fryer off, remove the manometer fitting from the manifold tap hole, and reinstall the pressure tap plug.

7.6Replacing the Fryer Gas Valve

1.Disconnect the gas supply to the fryer.

2.Disconnect the wires from the gas valve terminal block. Mark wires to facilitate reinstallation.

3.Remove the pilot gas line and fitting from the valve. See Figure 1, Item 5.

4.Loosen pipe union on the side of the valve and remove the valve.

J1X, J2X specifications

Frymaster is a well-respected name in the commercial kitchen equipment industry, particularly known for its high-performance fryers. Among their innovative products are the Frymaster J1X and J2X, both designed to improve frying efficiency, consistency, and safety in busy kitchens.

The Frymaster J1X is a single tank, electric fryer, while the J2X is a more robust dual-tank model. Both fryers are engineered with advanced technologies to maximize productivity and product quality. One of the standout features is the digital control system, which allows users to set and monitor cooking temperatures with precision. This means that operators can achieve consistently perfect results for a variety of fried foods, leading to higher customer satisfaction.

The J1X and J2X also come equipped with an advanced oil filtration system. The built-in filtration not only extends the life of the frying oil but also ensures that food remains crisp and free from unwanted flavors. This self-filtering feature reduces labor costs and makes it easier for kitchen staff to maintain optimal frying conditions throughout the day.

Both models are designed with operator safety in mind. They include features such as a built-in high-limit shut-off switch, which prevents overheating, and a cool-to-the-touch exterior to minimize the risk of burns during cooking. The Frymaster fryers are also constructed from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring durability and easy cleaning.

In terms of energy efficiency, the J1X and J2X utilize innovative heating technology that not only heats the oil quickly but also maintains consistent temperatures, reducing energy consumption and overall operational costs. The fryers are also designed to accommodate a variety of food items, making them versatile for any kitchen setting.

Moreover, the Frymaster J2X has the added benefit of dual independently controlled fry tanks, allowing different types of food to be cooked simultaneously without flavor contamination. This is particularly beneficial in busy restaurants where diverse menus are served.

Both models are not only efficient and reliable but also user-friendly, designed to help kitchen staff work faster and smarter. Overall, the Frymaster J1X and J2X are powerful allies for any kitchen aiming to enhance its frying operations while ensuring food quality and safety. With their combination of innovative technology, safety features, and energy efficiency, these fryers represent an excellent investment for any foodservice establishment.
