1. Shut off all gas.
2. Wait five minutes.
3. Follow the “Lighting” procedure described on page 11.
AUTOMATIC PILOT VALVE
The Automatic Pilot Valve provides an automatic safety shutoff for the fryer when the pilot flame is
extinguished. When the pilot flame is burning, the valve is held open electromagnetically by the electrical
current from a thermopile in the pilot flame. When the pilot flame goes out, generation of current ceases and
the valve closes automatically.
HIGH LIMIT CONTROL
SOLID STATE Fryers are equipped with a secondary heat control that prevents the oil temperature from rising
above 450F. (Because of the accuracy tolerance of the sensor, the oil temperature may reach as high as
475F.)
In the event the fryer shuts down due to this condition, the oil must be cooled to below 400F before the pilot
burner can be re-ignited. When the oil has cooled, use the “Lighting” procedure on page 11 to place the fryer
back in operation. If the problem persists, contact your SOLID STATE Service Representative or the SOLID
STATE Service Department.
COOKING HINTS
USER TIPS
• Smoking oil means that the temperature is too high, or that the oil has broken down.
• Gum in frypot denotes a need for thorough cleaning (see “Weekly Cleaning” on page 15)
• Use different oil for oily foods (mackerel, nutmeg, etc.) than for foods with water-soluble flavors (potatoes,
onions, etc.).
• Taste cool oil for quality. Replace it regularly.
• Poor oil cannot produce good food.
CLEANING
SOLID STATE equipment is constructed with the best quality materials and is designed to provide durable
service when properly maintained. To expect the best performance, your equipment must be maintained in
good condition and cleaned daily. Naturally, the frequency and extent of cleaning depends on the amount and
degree of usage.
Following daily and more extensive periodic maintenance procedures will increase the life of your equipment.
Climatic conditions (e.g., salt air) may result in the need for more thorough and more frequent cleaning in order
to keep equipment performing at optimal levels.
! WARNING: BURN HAZARD
If necessary to move the fryer for cleaning, etc., drain oil first to avoid death or serious injury.
