NOTE: Some fryers are configured for a rigid connection to the gas supply line. These units are
connected to the gas supply line at the rear of the unit.
When using thread compound, use very small amounts on male threads only. Use a pipe
thread compound that is not affected by the chemical action of LP gases (Loctite PST567 sealant
is one such compound). DO NOT apply compound to the first two threads. Applying compound
to the first two threads will cause clogging of the burner orifices and control valve.
2. Open the gas-supply valve to the fryer and check all piping, fittings, and gas connections for
leaks. A soap and water solution should be used for this purpose.
DANGER
All connections must be sealed with a joint compound suitable for the gas being used
and all connections must be tested with a solution of soapy water before lighting any
pilots.
DANGER
Never use matches, candles, or any other ignition source to check for leaks. If gas odors
are detected:
● Shut off the gas supply to the appliance at the main shut-off valve or bottle.
● Extinguish all naked flames.
● Do not operate any electrical appliances in the area.
● Ventilate the area.
● Check for leaks as detailed in this manual using a solution of soapy solution.
● Immediately contact the local gas company or an authorized service agency for
service.
If odor persists, contact the dealer or gas supplier immediately.
DANGER
In the event of a burn-back, where the flame burns back to the jet, immediately turn the
gas supply off at the control valve on the panel. After ensuring the flame is
extinguished, wait for I minute and re-light the appliance in the normal manner. Should
the appliance again burn back, close the control valve and call a service technician. Do
not use the appliance again until the service technician has declared that it is safe to do
so.
3. Close the fryer drain valve and fill the frypot with water and boil-out solution to the bottom OIL-
LEVEL line at the rear of the frypot. Light the fryer and perform the boil-out procedures that
are described in the "Lighting Instructions" and "Boiling Out the Frypot" topics found in Chapter
3 of this manual.
