If lockout should occur, repeat Steps 9 -10 until air is bled from supply and burner lights.
k) When burner flame is established, check for gas leaks. Care should be taken because
mains voltage is present. Isolate after gas checks.
Checking Controller Operation
To check operation of controls, refer to Using the Controller - Section 6.2.3.
Checking Oil Filtration Pump
To check operation of oil filtration pump, refer to Section 7.
Important
After installation, the responsible technician should check for gas leaks
and ensure the appliance is operating safely and satisfactorily before
handing over to the user.
2.6 TEMPERATURE LIMIT THERMOSTAT
The unit is equipped with an additional temperature limit thermostat, independent of main
controller. In the case of operating thermostat failure, allowing oil temperature to rise above
predetermined legislation safe zone (230⁰C), limit device will activate and cut power to
controller. It will also stop the flow of gas to burner, refer to Figure 4.
a) Turn burner and temperature controls ON/OFF knob to OFF position.
b) Allow oil to cool below 180⁰C
c) Remove cap and push green button to reset limit thermostat, refer to Figure 4.
d) Turn burner and temperature controls ON/OFF knob to ON position.
e) Re-select temperature.
f) If limit thermostat reactivates carry out fault finding on temperature control circuitry.
2.7 OIL LEVEL SENSOR (G3840X/G3840FX only)
The unit is equipped with an additional Oil Level Sensor (Patent No. GB2584184).
When the oil level drops to at least 40mm below the MIN mark, then the Top Up Oil LED will indicate
(Orange oil can symbol) warning the user that the oil level has dropped considerably.
When the oil level drops to approximately 80mm below the MIN mark (same level as temperature probe),
the Low Oil Level LED will indicate (Flashing red hazard triangle) warning the user that the oil level is
unacceptable.
At this point the fryer will stop the flow of gas to the burner and put the fryer into lockout. The fryer cannot be
taken out of lockout until the fry pot has been filled with oil to an acceptable level.
2.8 INSTRUCTION TO USER
After installing and commissioning appliance, please hand Instructions to user or purchaser and
ensure that the person(s) responsible understands the instructions to correctly operate and
clean unit in a safe manner.
Emphasis should be given to safe operation and use of drain valve and oil bucket. Oil bucket
should not be overfilled to allow safe movement. Oil should be allowed to cool before any manual
handling.
Note: The oil container may be heavy. Drain small amounts at a time if
necessary, before lifting container. Manual handling regulations should be
observed.
