Do not go near the area directly above the ue when fryer is in operation. Severe
burns may be caused. Drain hot oil in metal containers, do not use plastic buckets
or glass containers.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Set the thermostat and the gas cock dial on the combination gas valve to the “OFF” position.
2. Wait for ve minutes.
3. Turn gas cock dial on the combination gas valve to “Pilot” position.
4. Depress the gas cock dial and apply a lighted match or taper to the pilot.
5. Hold the gas cock dial depressed for about 30 seconds or until pilot stays lit before releasing.
6. If the pilot does not stay lit, repeat step 4 and 5.
BURNERS / THERMOSTAT OPERATION
1. After the pilot is lit, turn the gas cock dial to “ON” position.
2. Turn the thermostat dial to any temperature setting and observe the burners ignition. It should
ignite within four seconds.
CAUTION: Main burners shall not be “ON” when the vessel is empty. During
testing, ll the vessel with liquid (oil or water) till above the heat transfer tubes.
The appliance and its individual shut o valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
system during any pressure testing of that system in excess of 1/2 PSI.
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shut o
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 PSI.
The gas supply line must be at least the same size as the gas inlet of the appliance.

FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS, CONNECTORS AND CASTERS
If the unit is to be installed with casters, the installation shall be made with a connector that complies
with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69 or Connectors for
Moveable Gas Appliances, CAN/CGA-6.16, and a quick-disconnect device that complies with the
Standard for Quick-Disconnect Devices for Use With Gas Fuel, ANSI Z21.41, or Quick Disconnect
Devices for Use with Gas Fuel CAN1-6.9. Locking front casters are provided to limit the movement of
the appliance without depending on the connector or associated piping. A suitable strain relief must
be installed with the exible connector.
Restraining device may be attached to the back frame/panel of the unit.
All connections must be sealed with a joint compound suitable for LP gas and all connections must be
tested with a soapy water solution before lighting pilots.
PREPARATION FOR USE
New units have a coating of oil on the interior of the vessel. Remove this coating with hot soapy water,
washing soda, or any other grease dissolving liquid. Rinse thoroughly and drain until all residues are
removed. Wipe dry.
Clean the baskets, crumb screen.
PILOT OPERATION
Check and make sure the pilot is lit. If not, refer to previous section for lighting the pilot.
BEFORE TURNING THE BURNERS ON
Fill the vessel with liquid shortening or oil up to the “oil level” marking.
Block of solid shortening should not be melted by setting it on top of tubes. This will damage the
vessel and scorch fat. Either melt it rst on another appliance or cut into small pieces and pack tightly
below, between and above the burner tubes, without leaving any air spaces around the tubes. Turn the
burners “ON” for about 10 seconds and turn “OFF” for about a minute. Repeat this “ON-OFF” cycle
until all the shortening is melted. If scorching occurs, lower the “ON” time.
Do not overll the vessel.
MAIN BURNER OPERATION
After the vessel is lled with liquid shortening or oil, set the gas cock dial on the combination gas valve
to the “ON” position.
Turn the thermostat to desired temperature setting.
DAILY SHUT-DOWN
At the end of the day, turn the gas cock dial on the combination gas valve and the thermostat to OFF
position. Where applicable turn the power switch to OFF position. Filter the oil in all fryers.
