2.Press POWER SWITCH to FRYER position.

a.The controller will energize the GAS CONTROL VALVES and the IGNITORS.

b.The GAS CONTROL VALVES will remain energized for 4 seconds while the flame sensor proves the flame.

c.At the end of the 4 second period, if flame has not been sensed, the gas valve will de-energize for 30 seconds. The controller will attempt three times to establish a flame.

d.If flame cannot be established in three tries, the controller will lock out. The power switch must be pressed to OFF, then back to FRYER to release the lock out.
