1.8.9 Replacing Burner Ceramic Targets
DANGER
Drain the frypot or remove the handle from the drain valve before proceeding further.
1. Disconnect fryer from electrical and gas supplies.
2. On FM45 fryers, remove square-drain sections as necessary to expose burner.
3. Disconnect the wires from the gas valve terminal block, marking each wire to facilitate recon-
nections.
4. Remove the high-limit thermostat wires from the gas valve pilot coil.
5. Disconnect the pipe union collar at the right side of the gas valve.
6. Remove the burner heat shield hanger screws at the front of the burner and remove the heat
shield.
7. 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.
8. Raise the front of the fryer enough to slide the burner from under the fryer cabinet.
9. To replace only the ceramic targets, straighten the target locking tabs 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.
To replace the entire target assembly, use a ½-inch (13mm) box end wrench to remove the two
brass orifices that hold the assembly to the burner manifold. Position the new assembly and re-
place the orifices.
WARNING
Use extreme care to prevent cross-threading and stripping when reinstalling the
brass orifices.
10. Reverse steps 1-8 to reinstall the burner assembly. Check spacing and alignment of targets in
accordance with Section 1.5.
