KINTERA FLOOR MODEL GAS FRYERS
FILLING THE FRYPOT
1. Close drain valve completely before filling the frypot.
2. When the fryer is new, fill the frypot with water and clean thoroughly (see "Weekly Cleaning" on page
15) in order to remove protective coatings and any foreign matter.
3. The recommended solid shortening capacity for the frypot (35, 55 or 75lbs) is described on the serial
plate (which is located inside the front door).
4. Remove the basket support frame when filling the frypot with solid shortening.
5. When solid shortening is used, be careful not to bend, break, or twist the thin capillary wires of the
sensing elements located in the frypot.
6. Pack solid shortening into the zone below the tubes, all spaces between the tubes, and at least an
inch above the top of the tubes before lighting the fryer. If any air spaces are left around the heat
tube surfaces when the heat is turned on, the tube surfaces will become red hot, burn the solid
shortening, weaken the frypot, and could result in a fire.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO MELT A SOLID BLOCK OF SHORTENING ON TOP OF THE HEAT TUBES.
NEVER START THE BURNERS WHEN THE FRYPOT IS EMPTY. THIS WILL CAUSE CRACKED SEAM
WELDS AND YOUR FRYER WILL LEAK COOKING OIL, THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION
7. To prevent burning or scorching the solid shortening, keep the thermostat set at the lowest
temperature until all the solid shortening between and above the tubes has been melted. Additional
solid shortening can then be added until the desired frying depth has been reached.
8. Replace the basket support frame over the frypot heat tubes.
RELIGHTING
In the event of a main burner ignition failure, a five minute purge period must be observed prior to re-
1. Shut off all gas.
2. Wait five minutes.
3. Follow the "Lighting" procedure described on page 12.
AUTOMATIC PILOT VALVE
The Automatic Pilot Valve provides an automatic safety shutoff for the fryer when the pilot flame is
extinguished. When the pilot flame is burning, the valve is held open electromagnetically by the electrical
current from a thermopile in the pilot flame. When the pilot flame goes out, generation of current ceases and
the valve closes automatically.
