FRYER OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)
Load the fryer basket with the
food product while the basket is
not in the hot liquid shortening.
DO NOT overload the fryer
basket. Load only a premeasured
quantity of food product (1½ lb,
typically; less, if smaller portions
are desired). Place the loaded
fryer basket into the hot liquid
shorteningcarefully to avoid
splashing.
When the basket of food product
has reached the desired point of
‘doneness’, lift the basket from
the hot shortening and hang the
basket on the basket hanger to
let it drain for approximately 15 -
30 seconds before serving.
NEVER increase the thermostat
setting above the recommended
setting to reduce the cooking
time; this will produce a lower
quality product and will cause
more rapid shortening break-
down.
RECOMMENDED FRYING TIME FOR
POPULAR FRIED FOODS
* - Use a second basket on top of the chips in the bottom basket,
to keep them within the hot shortening; otherwise, they float
before cooking completely.

FRYER TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Pilot flame does not
staylighted. 1. Dirty/sooty pilot burner.
2. Low gas supply pressure [less than 6”
W.C. for natural gas (11”W.C. for pro-
pane) when all other gas-powered equip-
ment is operating.].
3. Pilot flame too small to heat thermo pile.
4. Pilot flame ‘wavering’ (being blown about
by a draft).
5. Improper thermopile output voltage (must
be at least 180 millivolts, measured at the
thermocouplejunction block).
6. High-limit thermostat problem has shut off
the gas.
7. Gas control valve has failed.
1. Clean the pilot burner. Perform
the Lighting Procedure.
2. Measure the gas supply pres-
sure.
Contact your local gas supplier
to obtain adequate gas supply
volume and pressure.
3. Adjust the pilot valve (part of
the gas safety valve) to in-
crease the flame size: Un-
screw and retain the large
threaded cover; turn the pilot
valve adjustment screw two
turns counterclockwise;
reinstall the threaded cover.
4. Block or redirect the draft, to
keep the flame burning steadily.
5. Replace the thermopile.
6. Check for, and repair, any dam-
aged high-limit thermostat wir-
ing. Otherwise, test the high-
limit thermostat by bypassing
the high-limit thermostat (black
and blue wires) at the gas con-
trol valve with a jumper wire.
Next, perform the Lighting Pro-
cedure, to check whether the
pilot flame lights. If the pilot
flame lights and stays lit, the
high-limitthermostat has failed
and must be replaced.
7. Replace the gas control valve.
PROBLEM CAUSE REMEDY
All service (repairs or part replacement) must be performed by a qualified Service Agency.
CAUTION: DO NOT return
the fryer to normal operation
withits high-limit thermostat
bypassed.

FRYER TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (Continued)
Pilot flame goes out
repeatedly. 1. Low gas supply pressure [less than 6” W.C. for natural gas (11”W.C. for pro-
pane) when all other gas-powered equip-
ment is operating.].
2. Loose thermocouple or high-limit thermo-
stat connection(s) on gas control valve.
3. Pilot flame does not continuously touch
the thermocouple because of excessive
air flow around the pilot burner assembly.
4. High-limit thermostat problem has shut off
the gas.
1. Measure the gas supply pres-
sure.
Contact your local gas supplier
to obtain adequate gas supply
volume and pressure.
2. Check and tighten the connec-
tions.
3. Block the excessive air flow to
make the pilot flame contact
the thermocouple.
4. Check for, and repair, any dam-
aged high-limit thermostat wir-
ing. Otherwise, test the high-
limit thermostat by bypassing
the high-limit thermostat (black
and blue wires) at the gas con-
trol valve with a jumper wire.
Next, perform the Lighting Pro-
cedure, to check whether the
pilot flame lights. If the pilot
flame lights and stays lit, the
high-limitthermostat has failed
and must be replaced.
PROBLEM CAUSE REMEDY
Main burners do not
ignite. 1. Gas control valve knob set to OFF or PILOT.
2. Low gas supply pressure [less than 6”W.C.
for natural gas (11”W.C. for propane)
when all other gas-powered equipment is
operating.].
3. Pilot burner problem.
4. Thermostat control set below the tempera-
ture of the liquid shortening in the kettle.
1. Perform the normal Lighting
Procedure. Turn the gas
control valve knob to ON to
light the main burners.
If the burners do not light, the
gas safety valve has failed and
must be replaced.
2. Measure the gas supply pres-
sure.
Contact your local gas supplier
to obtain adequate gas supply
volume and pressure.
3. Refer to the preceding Pilot
Burner problems and use the
correct remedy.
4. Increase the thermostat setting
until the burners light. If this
setting is greater than the
desired temperature, reset the
thermostat.
!
CAUTION: DO NOT return
the fryer to normal operation
withits high-limit thermostat
bypassed.

Liquidshortening does
not reach the desired
temperature for frying.
1. Low gas supply pressure [less than 6”W.C.
for natural gas (11”W.C. for propane)
when all other gas-powered equipment is
operating], causing reduced heat from main
burners.
2. Low gas manifold pressure [less than 3½”
W.C.for natural gas (10”W.C. for pro-
pane).
3. Loose knob on thermostat; or thermostat
requires calibration (temperature setting
differs by about 10°F from the measured
shortening temperature).
Main burners do not
stopburning. 1. Thermostat has failed.
2. Gas control valve has failed.
1. Turn the thermostat control
knob to OFF. If the burners
do not quit burning, the ther-
mostat has failed and must
be replaced.
2. Turn the gas control valve knob
to OFF. If the burners do not
quit burning, the gas control
valve has failed and must be
replaced.
1. Measure the gas supply pres-
sure.
Contact your local gas supplier
to obtain adequate gas supply
volume and pressure.
2. Measure the gas pressure at
the fryer’s manifold pressure
tap. Adjust the manifold pres-
sure (see Figure 6), as neces-
sary: [a] Unscrew (and re-
tain) the threaded Main Burner
Regulator Adjustment Cover.
[b] Use a flat-blade screw-
driver to turn the regulator
adjustment screw (clockwise to
increase; counterclockwise to
decrease) to reset the pressure
adjustment. [c] Reinstall, and
tighten the Regulator Adjust-
ment Cover, when finished.
3. Stir the shortening to mix the
hot shortening with some from
the lower ‘cool zone’ and allow
it to sit for 5 minutes. Turn the
thermostat knob until it ‘clicks’
on (causing the main burners to
flame); note the setting where
this occurs. Turn the thermo-
stat knob until it ‘clicks’ off
(causing the main burners to go
out); note the setting where this
occurs. Repeat this tempera-

ture ‘click points’ step at least
three times to ensure that the
shortening temperature has
stabilized.
Measure the temperature of
the shortening by inserting an
accurate thermometer about
4 inches into the shortening to
measure its temperature. If the
temperature difference be-
tween the measured tempera-
ture and the thermostat setting
is more than 15°F the thermo-
stat is failing and must be
replaced.
