ACCESSING THE PILOT
In full-vat units, the pilot is mounted on the left side of the burner manifold and is accessed through
an opening in the front frypot insulation. In dual-vat units, there is a pilot on both the left and the
right halves of the burner manifold. In either case, swing the round cover over the opening out of
the way and insert a long match or taper through the hole to light the pilot.
LIGHTING THE PILOT ON FRYERS WITH STANDARD HONEYWELL GAS VALVES
1. Ensure power to the unit is OFF, then turn the gas valve knob to the OFF position. Wait at least
5 minutes, then rotate the gas valve knob to the PILOT position (see Figure 1).

2. Push the knob in and light the pilot. (If the fryer is equipped with a piezo ignitor, repeatedly
press the piezo ignitor button while depressing the gas valve knob until the pilot lights.)
Continue to hold the knob in for about 60 seconds after the flame appears on the pilot. Release
the knob. The pilot should remain lit.
CAUTION
If the pilot fails to remain lit, turn the gas valve knob to the OFF position and wait at
least five minutes before attempting to re-light.
3. With the pilot lit, push down and slowly turn the knob to the ON position (see Figure 2 above).
Once the pilot has been lit, the burner will automatically light whenever the thermostat is set
above its lowest setting or the controller calls for heat.
LIGHTING THE PILOT ON FRYERS EQUIPPED WITH CE-APPROVED GAS VALVES
1. Ensure power to the unit is OFF, then press the OFF (red) button on the gas valve (see photo
below). Wait at least 5 minutes.
