1.8.5 Replacing Burner Ceramic Targets
DANGER
Drain the frypot or remove the handle from the drain valve before proceeding further.
1. Disconnect the fryer from the electrical power
and gas supplies.
2. On FM35 fryers, remove sections of the
square-drain as necessary to expose the burner.
3. Disconnect the wires from the gas valve
terminal block and pilot coil, marking each
wire to facilitate reconnection.
4. Disconnect the pipe union collar at the right
side of the gas valve.
5. Remove the burner hanger screws and lower
the front of the main burner. Pull it forward to
clear the rear burner hanger, then lower the
burner to the floor.
6. Raise the front of the fryer enough to slide the
burner from under the fryer cabinet.
7. To replace a ceramic target only, remove the
wire, straighten the target locking tab with a
pair of needle nose pliers or a screwdriver, and
slide the target up and off the bracket. Slide the
replacement target onto the bracket and bend the
locking tabs down.
Step 2: On FM35 fryers, sections of the drain system
must be removed to access the burner assembly.
Step 3: Mark and disconnect the wires from the gas
valve.
Step 5: These screws on each side of the drain valve
must be removed to lower the burner from the frypot.
To replace a ceramic target only, remove
the wire, bend this tab outward, and slide
the target up and off the bracket.
To replace the entire target assembly,
use a 1/2-inch box end wrench to
remove the orifice that holds the target
to the manifold assembly.
