MASTER JET CF SERIES ATMOSPHERIC GAS FRYERS

CHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES

1.1 Functional Description

Master Jet (MJ) CF Series Atmospheric gas fryers contain a welded stainless steel frypot that is directly heated by gas flames that are diffused evenly over its lower surface by ceramic targets.

The flames originate from orifices in a U-shaped burner manifold positioned beneath the frypot. The orifice diameters differ for natural and propane gas as shown in the table below. For altitudes of 2000 feet and greater, contact factory for correct orifice part number.

Gas flow to the manifold is regulated by an electromechanical gas valve. MJCF Series gas fryers are equipped with millivolt gas valves, and MJCFE Series gas fryers are equipped with 24-volt gas valves. All models use a pilot ignition system.

Pilot Ignition System

The pilot ignition system consists of the pilot orifice, pilot hood, and a thermopile (a thermocouple is also used in CE units per CE requirements). The pilot serves two purposes. The first is to light the burner, the second is to heat the thermopile. In operation, the thermopile is in contact with the pilot flame and generates millivolts. The millivolt output passes through a normally closed high-limit switch and energizes the gas valve pilot coil, which in turn opens the pilot valve. If the pilot flame is extinguished, voltage is lost to the gas valve pilot coil and the pilot valve closes.

On MJCFE models, a separate 24-volt circuit, activated by the fryer On/Off switch, provides voltage through the thermostat or controller to the gas valve main coil, which opens the main valve. The gas valve is constructed so that the main valve will not open if the pilot valve is not open. The pilot flame must be manually lit (either with a
