3.1 Start-Up Procedure (cont.)
2. If fryer is equipped with a piezo ignitor, press and hold the white pilot light button, then
repeatedly press the piezo ignitor button until the pilot lights.
If fryer is not equipped with a piezo ignitor, place a flame near the pilot assembly, push and
hold the PILOT (white) button in, light the pilot, and continue to depress the button for at least
60 seconds after the pilot lights.
3. Release the white button after approximately 45 seconds to 1 minute. 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.
PLACING THE FRYER INTO OPERATION
CAUTION
If this is the first time the fryer is being used after installation, refer to Section 3.2,
Boiling-Out the Frypot.
For units equipped with Thermostat Controls
Place the Melt Cycle switch (if so equipped) to the ON position. Set the thermostat knob to the
desired cooking temperature. The U-shaped burner should "light-off" and burn with a strong,
blue flame.
CAUTION
Thermostat-controlled fryers equipped with Melt Cycle switches will stay in the Melt
Cycle mode until the Melt Cycle switch is placed in the OFF position.
For units equipped with other than Thermostat Controls
Place the computer/controller ON/OFF switch in the ON position and set the controller to – or
program the computer for – the desired cooking temperature, referred to as the setpoint. The
U-shaped burner should 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).
