6 MN-1141EN 718LCG, 724CG, and 734CG Gas Fryers
4. Move the on/off switch to the OFF position.
5. Rotate the gas control knob counterclock-
wise to the ON position.
6. Move the on/off switch to the ON position.
The yellow pilot light near the on/off switch
and the red pilot light on the fryer cabinet
will both light up.
7. Push the
button on the digital controller,
“SP1” will light up. This is the set point.
Push the up and down arrows to adjust the
convection heat set point. See Figure 4-4.
Push “R” button to return to operational
mode.
If the pilot fails to ignite within a certain
length of time, the gas system will go into
safety lock-out. If this happens, move the
on/off switch to OFF, wait at least one
minute, and then move the on/off switch to
ON again.
WARNING
Failure to wait at least one minute for the
gas to dissipate could result in a fire or an
explosion when the pilot is lighted again.
If the shortening temperature exceeds
435°F/224°C, the high-temperature limit
control will break the circuit, and the
electrical and gas systems will shut off.
If this happens, follow these steps to reset
the system:
a. Move the on/off switch to the OFF
position.
b. Wait for the shortening to cool to
385°F/196°C or below. You will not be
able to ignite the pilot until the
shortening reaches this temperature.
c. Move the on/off switch to the ON
position.
8. Continue adding shortening to the kettle
until it reaches the proper depth for frying.
Use one of the following methods. For
safety reasons, we recommend the first
method, and discourage you from using any
other method.
• Use a Belshaw Shortening Melter (FM)
to melt shortening and transfer it to the
kettle. See the FM manual.
• Melt shortening in a pan on the stove
and pour it into the kettle.
• Very carefully put solid shortening into
the kettle.
WARNING
To avoid serious burns, be very careful not
to splatter hot shortening when you add
shortening to the kettle.
Because shortening expands as it increases
in temperature, put shortening in the kettle
gradually. Let the shortening in the kettle
heat up before you add more.
9. Wait for the shortening to reach the desired
temperature.
WARNING
To avoid serious burns, when the fryer is
operating, do not touch the flue, exhaust
manifold, stacks, gas burners, or any part
of the fryer that is in contact with hot
shortening. Keep clear from the area
above the flue outlet.
10. If you are frying cake or French donuts,
move the cutter into place over the fryer.
Refer to the cutter manual for complete
installation and operation instructions.
If you are frying yeast-raised donuts using a
feed table, load proofing cloths on the feed
table. Refer to the feed table manual for
complete installation and operation
instructions.
