GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR
The regulator is factory set as specied on the rating plate. If it should be necessary to check the
manifold pressure, remove the 1/8" pipe plug from the top part of the burner manifold and attach
a pressure gauge. To adjust gas pressure, unscrew cap from pressure regulator on control valve
and turn screw to the right to increase and left to decrease the gas pressure to its proper setting.
Replace cap. Manifold Pressure should be no more than 6" water column for LP gas or 3 1/2" for
natural gas.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Wait 5 minutes before relighting pilot.
2. Open front door.
3. Turn thermostat to "OFF" position.
4. Turn valve knob to "PILOT." Push knob in completely. Light pilot through opening on front of
unit. Hold button in for sixty seconds or until pilot remains lit.
5. Check if drain valve is in closed position.
6. Add liquid fat as required.
7. Turn valve knob to "ON." Set thermostat to desired temperature.
8. To turn all gas off to valve control and to pilot, turn valve knob to "OFF" position
(complete shutdown).
TO ADJUST PILOT
1. Open the front door panel.
2. Remove slotted screw cap adjacent to pilot gas outlet of the control gas valve.
3. Turn inner screw to the right or left to decrease or increase pilot flame.
(Flame must surround thermocouple tips by approximately 1/2" (1.2cm).)
4. Replace slotted screw cap tightly to prevent gas leakage.
THERMOSTAT RECALIBRATION
1. To determine whether or not the thermostat should be recalibrated, use an accurate thermometer
located approximately in the center of the kettle with the bulb 1" (2.4cm) below the top of the
fat.
2. Set thermostat to 350°F (177° C) and check the thermometer reading when burner ame goes
off. Temperature should be approximately 5°F (3°C) less than the thermostat dial setting.
3. If not:
a. Without disturbing thermostat, pull knob forward and remove from shaft.
b. Turn screw in center of shaft clockwise to decrease temperature or counterclockwise
to increase temperature. NOTE: 1/4 turn of this screw will result in a change of
approximately 30°F (17°C).
c. Replace knob.
4. Repeat steps 1, 2 and 3 until correct.
HIGH LIMIT THERMOSTAT
These units are equipped with a manual reset high temperature limit type thermostat.
This thermostat will shut off the electric current to the magnetic gas valve, which shuts off the gas
if the fat temperature reaches 450°F (232°C). The fryer will not operate until the red reset button
is pushed in.
Should the high temperature limit thermostat operate, the temperature regulating thermostat
should be checked for malfunctions. The high limit thermostat is located inside the fryer to your
right and can be reached when the door is open.
