The fryers are equipped with a multifunctional gas control, incorporating on/off tap, thermostat and
flame-failure device. The burner is lit by means of a pilot, which is ignited by a push-button.
SECTION 2 - LIGHTING and OPERATIONS

If the pilot be extinguished either intentionally or unintentionally, no attempt to re-light the gas

The procedure for lighting the burner is as follows (Refer to Figures 1 & 2):

b) Open the cabinet door, giving access to the controls.
c) Refer to Figure 2, and turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the ignition position
d) Depress the rectangular igniter button marked and hold it in.
e) Depress the spark igniter button and observe that the pilot lights. If it does not light immediately,
repeatedly depress and release the spark igniter button until it does.
f) Hold the ignition button in for a further 20 seconds, then release the button. If the pilot goes out,
wait for three minutes, then repeat from (iv).
g) When the pilot is established, turn the thermostat knob anti-clockwise to the desired temperature
setting - No 8 is the maximum, producing an oil temperature of 190Žo C.
To Shut The Fryer OFF
For Short Periods (e.g. when unattended.)
To turn off the main burner, but leaving the pilot lit, turn the thermostat knob clockwise to the
ignition position.

The fryer pans are equipped with safety thermostats, which shut off the gas in the event of the oil
