GRA SERIES GAS FRYERS - GENERAL
KLEENSCREEN FILTRATION
SYSTEM
The Kleenscreen filtration system is integrated into
the GRA Series fryer battery. The filter is housed in a
pull-out drawer assembly at the base of the fryer.
The filtering components in the drawer include a
stainless steel filter tank, crumb-catch basket and a
dual element mesh filter screen. With the filter
drawer closed, a self-seating oil return line provides
the path to return the filtered shortening to the fry
tank.
This system is designed to provide a thorough and
easy method to filter the shortening.
Some of the benefits include:
• Self-contained system eliminating the use of
external filter equipment.
• Paperless filtering system.
• Easy to clean and low maintenance.
Kleenscreen fryer batteries are available in a
minimum of two and a maximum of four fryer
sections. The fryer size of each section is identical.
A GRO Frymate (dump station) can also be included
as one or more of the sections.

TEMPERATURE PROBE TEST
The temperature probe is an RTD (resistance
temperature detector) of the thermistor type. As
temperature increases the resistance value
decreases.
Probe Fault
If a temperature probe fault occurs, red diagnostic
LED on back of control assembly (inside control box
cover) will flash. The heat demand outputs are
de-activated.
This will continue until the fault clears, power is
cycled or problem resolved.
A temperature probe fault can be caused by a lead
break or a lead short.
To Check:
1. Turn power switch off.
2. Disconnect the temperature probe & the drain
valve interlock (DVI) connector.
3. Test the probe using a VOM to measure
resistance. Connect the meter leads to pins 1 &
3 on the male connector.
A. If the measured resistance values are
within the allowable range, the probe is
functioning properly. Reverse procedure to
install.
B. If the measured resistance values are
outside the allowable range, install a
replacement probe and check for proper
operation.

COOKING CONTROL
CALIBRATION
NOTE: Verify condition of temperature probe as
outlined under TEMPERATURE PROBE TEST
before proceeding.
1. Check the level of shortening in fry tank. The
level must be between the MIN & MAX fill lines
before proceeding.
2. Allow shortening to cool below 300EF.
3. Place a thermocouple in the geometric center of
the fry tank one inch below the shortening
surface.
4. Set the cooking control to 350EF and turn the
fryer on.
5. Monitor the burners as they cycle on and off.
NOTE: Agitate the shortening, to eliminate any cold
zones.
A. Allow burners to cycle three times to
stabilize shortening temperature.
B. Record meter reading from thermocouple
when the burners cycle off and on for at
least two complete heating cycles.
6. Calculate the average temperature by adding
the temperature reading when the burners go
out to the temperature reading when the
burners come on & divide this answer by 2.
[ Temp. (Burners off) + Temp. (Burners on) ] ÷ 2 = Average
Temp.
Example: 360° + 340° ÷ 2 = 350°F.
The average temperature should be
350EF (± 5EF).
A. If the average temperature reading is
within tolerance, cooking control is properly
calibrated.
B. If the average temperature reading is out of
tolerance, loosen set screw to remove
temperature knob and adjust calibration
potentiometer.
1) Adjust calibration potentiometer
clockwise to increase temperature,
and counterclockwise to decrease
temperature.
a. If over 25Eof adjustment is
necessary, replace cooking
control.
7. Repeat the average temperature calculation for
up to three attempts. Allow the cooking control
to cycle at least two times between adjustments
before performing the calculation.
8. If calibration is unsuccessful, the cooking
control may be malfunctioning and cannot be
adjusted properly. Install a replacement cooking
control and check calibration.
ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
Operation
When the main power switch is turned on the ignition
control module is energized with 24 volts between
terminals 5 and 6.
An output of 24 volts is sent from terminals 2 and 3
to the pilot coil on the combination valve, allowing
gas flow to the pilot; and spark voltage is sent from
SPARK terminal to begin sparking at the
ignitor/flame sense electrode. The sparking will
continue until an adequate pilot flame is sensed or
for a maximum of 90 seconds.
If pilot is not established within the 90 second ignition
trial time, the ignition module locks out power to the
gas valve. Controls will be disabled.
The system remains locked out until the power
switch is cycled to reset the system and re-start the
ignition trial cycle.
Once the pilot flame is confirmed, a 24 volt output
from terminal 1 will provide the ignition status input
signal to the cooking control. When the cooking
F25377 (March 2010)Page 15 of 36

GRA SERIES GAS FRYERS - SERVICE PROCEDURES AND ADJUSTMENTS
control calls for heat, the heat output is activated and
the main valve coil on the combination valve is then
energized, allowing gas flow to the burners.
Terminal Description
1
MV (main voltage) - 24VAC output
will be present, providing the
ignitor/flame sense electrode is
sensing an adequate pilot fame.
2 MV/PV (common).
3
PV (pilot voltage) - 24VAC output
will be present after the ignition
module is powered. The voltage will
remain present, providing an
adequate pilot flame is sensed. If the
pilot flame is not sensed within the
ignition trial time, the ignition module
locks out which removes the output
voltage.
4 Burner ground.
5 24VAC ground.
6 24VAC hot (input).
FLAME SENSE CURRENT
CHECK
1. Turn the power switch OFF.
2. Access the ignition control module in the power
supply box and locate the EnviraCom™ port.
3. Connect the QuickLook™ 72 meter to the
EnviraCom™ port. Turn power switch ON.
4. Meter reading should be above 1.0 micro amp
(minimum) and steady.
A. If reading is greater than or equal to the
value given, then flame sense current is
within tolerance.
NOTE: Yellow Flame LED next to port should show
continuous 1/2 second on-1/2 second off heartbeat.
B. If reading is less than the value given,
perform ELECTRONIC IGNITION
CONTROL TEST.
ELECTRONIC IGNITION

3. Turn the power switch on and verify the ignition
control module is receiving power from the
transformer.
A. If 24VAC is present, then module is
receiving power. Turn the power switch off
and continue with procedure.
B. If 24VAC is not present then find the
source of the problem.
4. Disconnect power to the machine.
5. Verify all electrical connections on the ignition
control module are secure.
6. Verify the ground wire connections on the
ignition control module and the gas pilot
mounting bracket are clean and secure. The
gas pilot should have good metal to metal
contact to the pilot mounting bracket on the
fryer.
7. Remove the gas pilot and check the following:
A. Inspect the ceramic insulator on the
ignitor/flame sense electrode for cracks or
evidence of exposure to extreme heat,
which can permit leakage to ground. If
either of these conditions exist, then install
a replacement gas pilot.
B. Inspect the ignitor electrode and ground
clip for contaminates, or corrosion. Clean
those surfaces as necessary.
C. The gap between the ignitor/flame sense
electrode and the ground clip should be 1/8
inch. If the gap is outside of this dimension,
bend the ground clip as necessary, to
make the adjustment.
D. Check the ignitor cable connection for
tightness and damaged insulation. If the
ignitor cable appears to be damaged, then
install a replacement ignitor cable.
8. With gas pilot installed and the ignitor cable
connected, reconnect power and turn the gas
supply on.
9. Turn power switch on and observe spark from
ignitor.
A. If spark from ignitor is present and ignites
the gas for the pilot, and burners light, then
the system is working properly.
B. If gas pilot lights but does not maintain an
adequate flame during the trial for ignition
(90 sec.), check pilot orifice for clogging.
NOTE: If orifice is clogged with debris, clean with air
or water only.
C. If spark from ignitor is present but does not
ignite pilot gas before the ignition control
module locks out, there may not be enough
gas in the line for ignition.
Turn the power switch off to re-set the
module. Wait 5 minutes between ignition
tries for unburned gas to vent. Turn the
power switch on and sparking should
resume to ignite pilot. The module may
need re-set several times before ignition
takes place.
D. If ignitor is still not sparking, turn the power
switch off, disconnect power and turn the
gas supply off.
10. Install a replacement ignition control module
and check for proper operation.

GRA SERIES GAS FRYERS - ELECTRICAL OPERATION
ELECTRICAL OPERATION
COMPONENT FUNCTION
FRYER CONTROLS
Cooking Control .............. Monitorsand evaluates input signals to the control: Activates heat output
signal to maintain shortening temperature; and activates filter output signal
to power the fill solenoid valve.
Transformer ................. Supplies 24VAC to the cooking control ignition control module. Transformer
is energized when power switch is turned on.
PowerSwitch ................ Supplies power to control circuit for fryer operation and filtering.
MeltSelectSwitch ............ Controls burner operation based on type of shortening being used (liquid/
solid).
GasCombinationValve ........ Allows gas flow to the pilot when pilot valve coil is energized; and gas flow to
the burners when main valve coil is energized. Also, regulates the gas
manifold pressure.
HighLimitThermostat ......... Prevents the shortening from reaching temperatures over 450EF (auto reset
@ 415°F, normal operation resumes when temperature falls below this
point).
TemperatureProbe ........... Senses temperature of shortening. Converts the temperature into a
resistance which is monitored by the cooking control. The probe is an RTD
(resistance temperature detector) of the Thermistor type. As temperature
increases the resistance value decreases.
Ignition Control Module ........ Controls and monitors gas pilot ignition. Energizes pilot valve coil on the
combination control valve and generates spark for pilot ignition. Monitors the
presence of a flame and supplies an ignition status input signal to the
cooking control.
Ignitor/FlameSense ........... Ignites the gas pilot and senses the presence of a flame. The flame
presence generates a micro-amp flame sense current that is rectified to the
ignition control module.
Drain Valve Interlock
Switch(DVI) ................. A magnetic reed switch mounted on the manual drain valve that supplies a
drain valve position signal (open/closed) to the cooking control. When drain
valve is open, the drain interlock input to the control is removed (magnetic
reed switch contacts open). This prevents gas burners from coming on with
the fry tank empty.

GRA SERIES GAS FRYERS - ELECTRICAL OPERATION
KLEENSCREEN FILTER CONTROLS
Fill Solenoid Valve ............ When energized by filter switch, the solenoid valve opens to allow the flow of
shortening thru filtering system.
PumpMotor ................. Operates pump to circulate shortening through filtering system.
StartSwitch.................. Supplies power to temperature control module.
FilterSwitch ................. Supplies power to pump motor thru R1 and fill solenoid valve thru R2.
Discard Valve Switch .......... A magnetic reed switch mounted on the mechanical discard valve that
closes when discard valve handle is extended to discard the shortening.
Prevents R2 filter relay N.C. contacts from suppling power to the fill solenoid
valve when filter key is pressed.
R1PumpMotorRelay ......... When 24VAC relay coil is energized by filter switch, supplies 120VAC to
pump motor; and fill solenoid valve thru R2 fill relay N.C. contacts.
R2 Fill Relay ................. When 24VAC relay coil is energized by filter switch, supplies 24VAC to the
fill solenoid valve to open the valve and allow shortening to flow thru filter
system.
