OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT OPERATE THE UNIT UNLESS IT HAS BEEN
INSTALLED AND COMMISSIONED BY AN AUTHORI ED
PERSON.
BEFORE TURNING ON THE MAIN GAS SUPPLY, CHECK AND
ENSURE THAT ALL THE VALVES ARE IN THE “OFF”
POSITION.
THIS EQUIPMENT IS DESIGNED FOR COMMERCIAL
CATERING PURPOSES AND WILL GENERATE SIGNIFICANT
HEAT. HOT SURFACES WILL CAUSE BURNS. A HA ARD AND
RISK ASSESSMENT MUST BE UNDERTAKEN BY OWNERS
AND ALL OPERATORS MADE AWARE OF THESE.
NOTE: Ensure the gas supply to the equipment is turned ON.
NOTE: For your safety, the valve comes with a flame failure sensing device. If
the device does not sense a flame, gas supply to the burner will be
cut.
Gas fryer Manual Page 10

IGNITION PROCEDURE
NOTE: Ensure the gas supply to the equipment is turned ON
1) tarting from the “0” position
2) Press the PILOT ★position.
3) Manually light the pilot by use of a spark gun or lighter.
4) Continually press the ★button for 15 seconds. Now when the ★ button is
released, the pilot flame should stay alight. If it does not, go back to step
(1) and start all over again. When the automatic valve senses that the
pilot is alight, the gas flow to the main burner is opened.
5) If the pilot flame cannot be lit after repeated attempts, check out the
troubleshooting page of this manual.
6) Turn the knob to setting “1”.
7) Turn the knob to the setting of your desirable temperature. Please refer to
the following table.
etting 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
oC 120 135 145 160 175 185 195
oF 248 275 293 320 347 365 383
When the oil temperature reaches the desirable temperature (normally at this
point of time, the main burner will be temporarily closed), the fryer can be
loaded.
Warning:
Operator must follow the procedure in operating this fryer
Gas fryer Manual Page 11

Take particular care when loading the food into the fryer to avoid being
scalded by splashing oil.
Hang the fry basket on the hangar until oil is dripped out.
Do not overload the fryer basket.
Pilot Standby Position
To turn the main burner off and keep the pilot ON, rotate the knob to “0”
position.
Shut Down/Pilot OFF
- Turn the control knob to “0” position
- Depress the ● knob. Gas supply to both the main burner as well as the
pilot burner will be cut off simultaneously.
NOTE: If the pilot flame were accidentally extinguished, the flame failure
safety device would operate and cut the gas flow to the main burner. It would
then be necessary to re light the pilot by following the above procedure.
- Wait for about 15 seconds for the valve to reset.
- Repeat from step (1) of the IGNITION PROCEDURE

Gas fryer Manual Page 12

Adding Oil
Caution: Add oil to frypot between the maximum and minimum level.
Caution: Do not use solid oil or solid shortening. Only liquid oil should be
used in this fryer
Oil filtering procedure:
1) Turn off the fryer and let it coot down for about 20 minutes
2) crew in the Oil drain extension pipe (hung on the inside of the door) to
the drain valve outlet
3) Make sure that the nozzle end of the oil drain extension pipe faces a oil
collector (or an oil filtering cart)
Pull the safety latch of the lever and start turning the lever anticlockwise
slowly. CAUTION: DO NOT TURN THE LEVER TOO FAST. THIS COULD
RESULT IN HOT OIL SPLASHING OUT FROM THE DRAIN NO LE
Oil filtering
Oil should be filtered regularly in order to lengthen its usable life span. This
will also reduce the operating cost. The following factors all contribute to the
shortening of oil life.
← Contact with air
← Carbonated food crumbs and particles.
← Contact with any surface other than stainless steel.
← Contact with seasoning, spices and salt.
Cooking food under a temperature too high
Gas fryer Manual Page 13

OPERATOR MAINTENANCE
USE ONLY SUITABLE CHEMICALS AND OBSERVE ALL
MANUFACTURER SAFETY REQUIREMENTS FOR SAFE
HANDLING AND USE.
Warning: Ensure the appliance is off and the parts are cool to touch.
1) Avoid splashing water onto any parts and piping.
2) Check the piping connections and gas circuitry regularly.
3) Avoid clogging of the flue gas ventilation. Any obstacles in the flue can
cause incomplete combustion.
4) Make sure the gas type and pressure conforms to the specification as
shown in the data plate
Cleaning must be regular and thorough to ensure safe and efficient operation
of the equipment and to prevent flare-up. The amount of usage and the type
of products being cooked will largely determine how often complete cleaning
is necessary - you must assess this.
To clean the items, use a suitable detergent and warm water and scrubbing
brush. Repeated scrubbing will be necessary if deposits are heavy and baked
on.
CLEANING STAINLESS STEEL
Regularly wipe the surface with hot water and detergent. Rinse the washed
area with a wet sponge and clean water and wipe the area dry to prevent
streaking. Follow this process and wash a small area at a time to prevent
chemical residue and streaking.
tainless steel may discolour if overheated. These stains can usually be
removed using an appropriate powder/paste. To scrape off heavy deposits of
grease and oil, use only wood or plastic tools as necessary.
Note: Never use steel wool to clean stainless steel.
Note: Damage may occur if chemicals not suitable for stainless steel are
used.
Gas fryer Manual Page 14

SERVICE
FOR YOUR SAFETY, ALL SERVICE WORK MUST BE
CARRIED OUT BY AN AUTHORISED PERSON AND USE
ONLY ORIGINAL SUPPLIED AND SPECIFIED PARTS.
TEST ALL FITTINGS, PIPES AND PIPE CONNECTIONS FOR
LEAKS IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPROVED GAS LEAK TEST
PROCESSES AND METHODS. DO NOT USE A FLAME.
RECOMMENDED SERVICE
It is recommended that your appliance be serviced by an authorized person
every 12 months. This period is for guidance purpose only and may vary
based on usage of the equipment and operator care. Prescribed service tasks
include;
•Functional test of all components and clean and adjust as necessary.
•Inspect and clean all gas valves and lubricate with an industry
approved lubricant.
•Inspect all gas piping.
•Check and adjust specified gas pressures.
•Leak test.
•Full operational, performance and safety test.
Gas fryer Manual Page 15

BURNER ADJUSTMENTS
Leak Test
1) Ensure that all control valves are in the OFF position.
2) Turn on the main gas supply valve.
3) Light all pilots.
4) Leak test all valves and fittings using approved methods.
5) Correct any leaks as required and re-check.
6) hut off all valves and set the control knobs to “OFF” position.
Test Point Pressure
The pressure test point is located on the gas manifold. The gas manifold and
pressure test point is accessed by opening the fryer door. The test point
pressure is shown in the ‘Nominal Gas Consumption Table’ and is set with the
burners operating at maximum setting.
Pilot Burner Adjustment
et all pilots so that the flame envelops the tip of the thermocouple by
adjusting the pilot flame adjusting screw on the gas valve - clockwise to
decrease, or anti-clockwise to increase.
ervice adjustment should not be necessary unless changing the gas valve or
performing a gas conversion.
Burner Adjustment
The burner orifices are fixed as specified and cannot be adjusted. The
specified gas rate will be achieved if the gas supply pressure and test point
pressure is correct.
A distinct blue flame over the entire port area of the burner will be achieved at
full rate when the air supply is correct and the injector and burner are properly
aligned.
If the flame is yellow and wavy, the cause needs to be established.
WARNING: If you are not competent in performing any service task or require
assistance, please contact your local service agent.
