GASCONTROL
318 TO 112 INCH
PILOT
The thermocouple controls the gas valve. It generates voltage
in the millivolt. This voltage signals the gas control valve to
remain open to the pilot and burner. When the voltage is not
generated the gas valve will shut off, not allowing gas to the
pilot and main burner.
If converting from natural gas to propane gas or from
propane gas to natural gas, conversion must be done
by a qualified technician.
To avoid injury or property damage, before starting
this procedure, move the MAIN POWER switch to the
OFF position. Disconnect the main circuit breaker at
the circuit breaker box or unplug the service cord at
the wall receptacle. Turn off the main gas supply to
the frypot to be worked on, or possible explosion could
result.
Removal of the THERMOCOUPLE is accomplished with the
main gas supply shut off. The main burner may remain inside
the fryer, but the work is more easily performed with the
burner removed.
1. Remove the nut securing the thermocouple (19) in the gas
control valve (20).
2. Remove the nut securing the thermocouple in the pilot
holder.
3. Install the new thermocouple, being careful not to create
sharp bends in the tubing. When the pilot is lit, the flame
must surround the top of the thermocouple.
4. Turn on the main gas supply and reconnect the electrical
power.
5. Light the pilot per paragraph 2-11 and test the fryer for
proper operation.
