LJS 24G SERIES FLATBOTTOM GAS FRYERS
CHAPTER 1: DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
The LJS 24G Series gas fryers are energy-efficient, gas-fired units, design-certified by the
American Gas Association and the National Sanitation Foundation, and manufactured to their basic
performance and application specifications. All units are shipped completely assembled, with all
accessories packed inside the frypot. All units are adjusted, tested, and inspected at the factory
prior to crating for shipment.
NOTE
After uncrating, immediately inspect the equipment for visible
signs of shipping damage. If such damage has occurred, do not
refuse shipment, but contact the shipper and file the appropriate
freight claims.
1.1 OPERATING CONTROLS
Each unit is shipped with a solid-state electronic thermostat controller. The controller is mounted
inside the cabinet. The controller contains an automatic melt cycle which activates the main burner
"ON" for 4 seconds, then "OFF" for about 18 seconds, and is activated automatically every time the
frypot shortening temperature is less than 150°F (66°C). The melt cycle is used to heat solid
shortening properly.
Each unit is equipped with a control panel with two indicator lights and a power switch, reset switch
and boil-out switch located in a control box inside the cabinet.
Note: Systems built for KFC co-branded locations are not equipped with
boil-out switches. Boil-out is not allowed in KFC co-branded locations.

A. High oil-temperature detection to shut off gas to the main burners through the solenoid-
actuated gas valve.
B. Combination gas valve includes built-in pressure regulator.
C. Sail switch (air prover) built into outlet duct shuts off power to the burners in the event of
