IF YOU SMELL GAS DURING THE LIGHTING PROCEDURE, IMMEDLATELY
SHUT OFF THE GAS SUPPLY UNTIL TUELEAUHAS BEEN CORRECTED.
WARNING In the event of main burner ignition failure, a 5 minute purge period must be
observed prior to re-establishing ignition source.
FILUNGTHEFRYgETIzE:
1. Close drain valve completely before Ding the f?y kettle.
2. When the fryer is new, fill each kettle with water and clean thoroughly, as explained in the
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS, in order to remove protective coatings and any foreign matter.
3. Recommended shortening capacity for the l&series is 42 lbs., and for the l&series, 65 lbs.
4. Remove the basket support frame when Bling the kettle with solid shortening.
5. When solid shortening is used, be careful not to bend, break or twist the thin capillary wires of
the sensing elements located in the right-hand front corner of the kettle.
6. Pack solid shortening into the zone below the tubes, all spaces between the tubes, and at least an
inch above the top of the tubes before lighting the fryer. If any air spaces are left around the heat
tube surfaces when the heat is turned on, the tube surfaces will become red hot, burn the
shortening, weaken the fi-y kettle, and could result in a fire.
CAUTION:
NEVER ATTEMPT TO MELT A SOLID BLOCK OF SHORTENING ON TOP OF
THE HEAT TUBES. NEVER START THE BURNERS UNDER AN EMPTYE2WTL.E.
7. To prevent burning or scorching the shortening, keep the thermostat set at the lowest
temperature until all the shortening between and above the tubes has been melted. Additional
shortening can then be added until the desired frying depth has been reached.
8. Replace the basket support frame over kettle heat tubes.
AUTOMATIC PILOT VALVE:
This valve provides automatic safety shutoff for the fryer when the pilot flame is extinguished. When
the pilot flame is burning, the valve is held open electromagnetically by the electrical current from a
therrnopile in the pilot burner flame. When the pilot flame goes out, generation of current ceases and
the valve closes automatically.
HIGH LIMIT CONTROL:
These fryers are equipped with a secondary heat control which prevents the oil temperature from
rising above 475°F.
In the event the fryer shuts down due to this condition, the frying compound must be cooled to below
400°F before the pilot burner can be reignited. When the oil has cooled, use the lighting procedure
and the fryer will be back in operation. If problem persists, contact your serviceman.
WARNING: In the event a gas odor is detected, shut down equipment at the main shutoff
valve and contact the local gas company or gas supplier for service.
