2. If the fryer is equipped with a piezo ignitor, press and hold the pilot (white) button, then
repeatedly press the piezo ignitor button until the pilot lights.
If the 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. 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.
WARNING
In the event of prolonged power failure, the ignition module will shut down and “lock
out” the system. Turn the computer/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:
Place the Melt Cycle switch (if so equipped) to the ON position and set the thermostat knob to
the desired cooking temperature. The U-shaped burner should ignite 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.
