4.1.1 Pilot Lighting Procedures, Standing Pilot Only (cont.)
6. For CE units: Apply a lighted match or taper to the pilot burner head. Press the white pilot
light button on the gas valve and hold approximately 45 seconds to 1 minute, until the pilot stays
lit.
For Non-CE units: Push and hold the knob in and apply a lighted match or taper to the pilot
burner head. Continue to hold the knob in for about 60 seconds after the flame appears on the
pilot. Release the knob. The pilot should remain lit.
7. If fryer is equipped with a piezo ignitor, press and hold the white pilot light button, then
repeatedly press the piezo ignitor button until the pilot lights. Release the white button after
approximately 45 seconds to 1 minute.
8. If the pilot does not stay lit, depress the white pilot light button and re-light the pilot, holding the
button in longer before releasing. Trapped air may necessitate re-lighting the pilot several times
until a constant gas flow is attained.
9. When the pilot stays lit, release the white pilot light button.
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 thermostat to OFF immediately and let the solution cool for a few minutes
before resuming the process.
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 oil. Failure to do so will cause
spattering of hot liquid when the oil is heated to cooking temperature and may cause injury
to nearby personnel.
Pour cleaning solution into the frypot and add water to the top OIL LEVEL line scribed in the back
of the frypot.
Set the operating thermostat dial to 225°F (107ºC), just above that of boiling water.
A. The main burner will ignite.
B. When the solution nears the boiling point, reset the temperature controller to 200°(93ºC).
C. The burners should shut off just as the water starts to boil.
