GASCONTROL
318 TO 112 INCH
PILOT
The thermocouple controls the gas valve. It generates voltage in the millivolt. This voltage signals the gas control valve to remain open to the pilot and burner. When the voltage is not generated the gas valve will shut off, not allowing gas to the pilot and main burner.
If converting from natural gas to propane gas or from propane gas to natural gas, conversion must be done by a qualified technician.
To avoid injury or property damage, before starting this procedure, move the MAIN POWER switch to the OFF position. Disconnect the main circuit breaker at the circuit breaker box or unplug the service cord at the wall receptacle. Turn off the main gas supply to the frypot to be worked on, or possible explosion could result.
Removal of the THERMOCOUPLE is accomplished with the main gas supply shut off. The main burner may remain inside the fryer, but the work is more easily performed with the burner removed.
1.Remove the nut securing the thermocouple (19) in the gas control valve (20).
2.Remove the nut securing the thermocouple in the pilot holder.
3.Install the new thermocouple, being careful not to create sharp bends in the tubing. When the pilot is lit, the flame must surround the top of the thermocouple.
4.Turn on the main gas supply and reconnect the electrical power.
5.Light the pilot per paragraph
