2. Press and hold the pilot (white) button, then repeatedly press the ignitor button until the
pilot lights.
3. Failure to hold the button in long enough will cause the pilot to go out when the button is
released. If the pilot goes out when the button is released, wait at least 5 minutes then repeat
this step.
NOTES ABOUT FRYERS WITH ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEMS
WARNING
Never use a match or taper to light the pilot on electronic ignition systems.
When the controller power switch is placed in the ON position, the ignition module will turn the
pilot gas supply on and provide an ignition spark. The spark will light the pilot. A flame sensor
verifies the presence of the pilot flame. Unless the pilot flame is sensed, the ignition module will
not allow the gas valve to supply gas to the burners. The controller controls the firing of the
burners after pilot ignition takes place.
If the pilot flame fails, the ignition module will shut down and “lock out” the system. To restart
the system, turn the controller OFF, wait approximately 5 minutes for the system to recycle itself,
then turn the controller ON again.
WARNING
In the event of prolonged power failure, the ignition module will shut down and “lock out”
the system. Turn the controller OFF and then back ON after power has been re-established.
PLACING THE FRYER INTO OPERATION
CAUTION
If this is the first time the fryer is being used after installation, refer to Section 3.2, Boil-Out
Procedure.
For units equipped with Thermostat Controls:
Set the thermostat knob to the desired cooking temperature. The U-shaped burner should
ignite and burn with a strong, blue flame.
For units equipped with controllers other than Thermostat Controls:
Place the controller ON/OFF switch in the ON position and set the controller to – or program
the controller for – the desired cooking temperature, referred to as the setpoint. The
U-shaped burner will light and burn with a strong, blue flame. The unit automatically enters
the Melt Cycle mode if the frypot temperature is below 180°F (82°C). (NOTE: During the melt
cycle, the burner will repeatedly fire for a few seconds, then go out for a longer period.) When
the frypot temperature reaches 180°F (82°C), the unit will automatically switch to the Heating
mode. The burner will remain lit until the frypot temperature reaches the programmed
cooking temperature (setpoint).
