2. Push the knob in and light the pilot. (If the fryer is equipped with a piezo ignitor, repeatedly
press the piezo ignitor button while depressing the gas valve knob until the pilot lights.)
Continue to hold the knob in for about 60 seconds after the flame appears on the pilot. Release
the knob. The pilot should remain lit.
CAUTION
If the pilot fails to remain lit, turn the gas valve knob to the OFF position and wait at
least five minutes before attempting to re-light.
3. With the pilot lit, push down and slowly turn the knob to the ON position (see Figure 2 on Page
3-1).
LIGHTING THE PILOT ON FRYERS BUILT FOR THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITY (CE)
1. Ensure power to the unit is OFF, then press the OFF (red) button on the gas valve (see photo
below). Wait at least 5 minutes.
2. 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. (If the fryer is
equipped with a piezo ignitor, press the ignitor button repeatedly while holding in the PILOT
button until the pilot lights.) 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 this ignition system.
When the computer/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 computer/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 computer/controller OFF, wait approximately 5 minutes for the system to recycle
itself, then turn the computer/controller ON again.
