4.2 INITIAL STARTUP
LJS 24G Series gas fryers are tested, adjusted, and calibrated before leaving the factory.
Adjustments to assure proper operation may be necessary upon installation to meet local
conditions, low gas pressure, differences in altitude, variations in gas characteristics and to correct
possible problems caused by rough handling or vibrations during shipment. Gas component
adjustments after receiving the fryer should be performed by authorized service personnel.
Gas component adjustments are the responsibility of the customer and/or dealer and are not
covered by the Frymaster/Dean warranty.
CAUTION
IF THE MAIN BURNERS ARE OPERATED WITH THE FRYPOT EMPTY, THE FRYPOT
WILL BE DAMAGED.
IF THE FRYPOT IS DAMAGED DUE TO INCORRECT OPERATION, SUCH AS
HEATING AN EMPTY FRYPOT OR WHOLE BLOCKS OF SHORTENING, ALL
APPLICABLE WARRANTIES WILL BE VOIDED.
NOTE: In KFC co-branded locations do not use water for initial startup. Use
shortening or oil only.
