1  Leg Installation and Leveling 
This appliance must be installed with legs; it cannot be curb mounted. Curb mounting will seriously inhibit this 
appliances ability to effect proper combustion. 
WARNING 
This appliance must be installed with the legs provided by the manufacturer. 
 
WARNING 
Do not install legs or perform leveling procedure when unit is in operation or full of cooking medium. 
Serious injury could result. 
Required tools: 7/16 “ wrench and socket and a large pair of water pump pliers. The legs must be installed 
before connecting the appliance to the gas supply. The legs provide the necessary height to meet sanitation 
requirements and assure adequate air supply to the combustion system. Use the following procedure. 
 
a.  Lay the appliance on its back, being careful not to damage the flue area by pulling on it. Protect 
the outside of the appliance with cardboard or a drop cloth when laying it down. 
b.  Attach each leg with the hex head screws and nuts supplied. Each leg requires four ¼-20 x 5/8” 
hex head screws and nuts. Insure that all screws are tight. 
c.  Mount the screws from the inside of the appliance with the nut on the outside (bottom) of the 
appliance. The nuts have lock washers attached to them, therefore it is not necessary to use 
lock washers 
d.  When all four legs are securely mounted, stand the unit up, being careful not to put too much 
weight on any one leg. Adjust the height and level the appliance by adjusting the leveling 
devices (B) with water pump pliers.  
 
1.1 Installation Clearances 
 
The clearances shown below are for combustible and non-combustible installations and will allow for safe and 
proper operation of your appliance. 
 
 Combustible 
Construction Non-
Combustible  
Construction 
Back  6 in. (15 cm)  6 in. (15 cm) 
Sides  6 in. (15 cm)  6 in. (15 cm) 
Floor  N/A*  4 ¾ (11.5 cm)
*For use only on Non Combustible Floors. This appliance must be installed on a fireproof base.  
 
In addition to the above clearances there must also be at least 28 inches (71 cm) of aisle space in front of the 
appliance. 
 
1.2 Gas Connection 
Your appliance will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to provide the 
correct gas flow. The gas inlet of the appliance is located in the back of the appliance on the lower right hand 
side about 21 cm from the floor.  The gas line must be installed in accordance with the requirements of AS 5601 
or local codes, by a qualified professional. Gas line sizing requirements can be determined by a qualified 
installation professional, your local gas company or by the Technical Regulator. The gas line needs to be large 
enough to supply the necessary amount of fuel to all appliances without losing pressure to any appliance. A 
properly sized and installed gas line will deliver a minimum supply pressure of 7.0 ± 2.0 inches w.c. (1.75 ± 0.5 
kPa) for natural gas and 12.0 ± 2.0 inches (3.0 ± 0.5 kPa) for propane to all appliances connected to the supply 
line, operating simultaneously at full demand. Each appliance is equipped to operate on one certain fuel type. 
The type of fuel with which the appliance is intended to operate is stamped on the data plate, which is attached 
to the inside of the door. 
 
1.3  Gas Connection and Sealing Compound 
As with any gas appliance, be sure to use a suitable gas joint sealant whenever gas connections are loosened 
and retightened. Also remember to check for leaks before allowing the appliance to be put into service.

L22-371  Rev 0 2/13   
1.4  Fuel Supply Line Leak and Pressure Testing 
The fuel supply system must be tested before the appliance is used. If the fuel line is going to be tested at a 
pressure greater than ½ PISG (3.45 kPa), insure that that appliance is disconnected from the fuel line. If the 
fuel line is to be tested at a pressure equal to or less than ½ PSIG (3.45 kPa), the appliance can be connected 
during the test, but the unit’s gas valve must be shut. Test all gas line connections for leaks with a solution of 
soap and water when pressure is applied.  
 
2 Initial Adjustments 
After the appliance has been properly installed as described in the installation section of this manual, it will need 
to be adjusted to ensure that it will perform as designed. These adjustments must be performed by a qualified 
person. To perform these adjustments the following tools will be needed: 
 
•  Manometer    •  Digital Thermometer (Temperature Probe) 
•  DC Millivolt Meter  •  DC Milliameter 
 
Before you begin filling and adjusting the appliance, perform the following visual checks: 
 
a.  After the appliance is in its permanent location, check the levelness. Any additional leveling that 
is necessary can be performed as previously described. 
b.  Check the temperature probe and high limit bulb (in the tank) to ensure that the mounting 
screws are tight. 
c.  Review the installation portion of this manual and ensure 
that all steps have been followed and executed properly. 
 
2.1  Pilot Flame Adjustment after gas valve replacement 
For manual pilots, refer to the following instructions. Perform this procedure once the pilot is lit. 
NOTE:  This procedure requires a DC millivolt meter set to a scale of 0-1000 mV.  
Using test leads with sharp probes will help in taking the required readings. 
 
a.  Locate the thermocouple wires coming from the thermostat/limit box 
going to the gas  
           valve. The wire size decreases near the gas valve 
connections. 
b.  Using the positive (+) test probe, connect the probe to the high limit 
wire terminal. On UFM systems, pierce the high limit wire insulation, 
with the tip of the test lead probe, at the gas valve safety magnet 
connection. 
c.  Connect the negative (-) test probe to the pilot tubing. 
d.  Remove the cap screw located below the pilot tubing on the gas 
valve. The pilot flame adjustment screw is recessed behind this. 
Turning the pilot flame adjustment screw clockwise  
lowers the pilot flame and millivolt output. Turning the pilot 
flame  
adjustment screw counter- clockwise increases the pilot 
flame size  
and millivolt output. 
e.  While monitoring the DC millivolt meter, rotate the pilot 
flame adjustment screw in the direction necessary to 
achieve a reading of 400 ± 50mV. 
f.  Replace the cap screw. 
Note: Allow 3 to 5 minutes between flame adjustments to allow 
the reading to stabilize.

2.2  Main Burner System Adjustment 
For the main burners to operate the gas supply valve must be open and the thermostat must be turned on. For 
models with electric controls, the main power switch must be on. The main burners receive gas from the main 
gas supply through the thermostatically controlled valve. When the thermostat is turned up to a setting higher 
than the temperature of the oil in the tank, the gas control valve opens.  
The main burner pressure must be adjusted to deliver optimum flame. Refer to the following procedure to adjust 
the main burners.  
CAUTION 
Before proceeding any further, fill the tank with WATER. Water is used for the installation 
adjustments because the temperature will never exceed 212°F (100°C), thereby allowing plenty of 
adjustment time. Never let the water level go below the MIN LEVEL mark stamped on the tank. 
 
a.  Ensure that the main gas valve is shut off; remove the manifold pressure tap plug and connect 
an accurate pressure gauge having a range from 0 to 16 “ w.c. in 0.1” increments (0 to 4 kPa in 
.025 kPa increments) or manometer with similar resolution.  
b.  Turn on this and all appliances connected to the gas supply 
line and light their main burners. The pressure reading of 
the installed pressure gauge should not drop from the 
required installation pressure. Any loss of pressure 
indicates inadequate supply line installation, which will 
cause poor performance of all appliances during peak 
usage. 
c.  The installed pressure gauge should be the same, ±0.1” 
w.c. (.025 kPa), as that marked on the data plate on the 
inside door of the appliance. If the pressure is correct, go to 
step e, if it is not, adjust the pressure as outlined in step d. 
d.  To adjust the pressure, remove the regulator adjustment 
screw cap on the gas valve and, with a flat head 
screwdriver, adjust the regulator screw until the proper 
burner pressure is reached. Turning the screw clockwise will increase the burner pressure. 
Turning the screw counterclockwise will decrease the burner pressure. 
e.  When the pressure is correct, replace the regulator adjustment screw cover. 
f.  Turn off the ALL appliances, shut the main gas valve to your appliance and remove the  
pressure gauge. Apply pipe joint compound to the manifold pressure tap plug and reinstall it. 
 
2.3 Thermostat Calibration 
Thermostat Calibration Check (Standard) 
NOTICE 
Thermostat calibration requires that the temperature of the appliance be raised above 212°F 
(100°C). If you have water in the tank you will need to drain it, dry it and fill it with shortening/oil. 
Follow the filling instructions in this manual.  
 
To check the calibration of your appliance, refer to the following procedure. 
a.  Remove the tube screen from the tank. 
b.  Place the tip of a digital thermometer probe in the shortening/oil approximately one inch above 
the temperature sensor. 
c.  Light the pilot as described in this manual, set the thermostat to 325°F (163 °C) and allow the 
shortening/oil to come up to temperature. Watch the thermometer closely as the temperature 
rises. 
d.  If the shortening/oil temperature reaches 350°F (167 °C) and the burners do not turn off, turn 
the thermostat down. Keep lowering the thermostat setting until the burners go out. 
e.  Let the appliance cycle 4 to 6 times before checking the temperature. Compare the 
thermometer temperature against the thermostat setting. If the values are more than 5°F (3 °C) 
apart, calibrate the thermostat using procedure in this manual.

CAUTION 
If the burners do not shut off at the LOWEST thermostat setting, the thermostat may be 
defective. Contact your local service company. 
 
2.4 Thermostat Calibration 
For Gas Operated and Electric Thermostats refer to the following procedure. 
 
a.  Remove the tube screen from the tank and place the tip of a digital thermometer in the 
shortening/oil approximately one inch above the temperature sensor. 
b.  Light the pilot as described in this manual, set the thermostat to 325°F (163 °C) and allow the 
shortening/oil to come up to temperature; let the appliance cycle 4-6 times to insure that the 
shortening/oil temperature has stabilized. Compare the thermostat setting of 325°F (163 °C) to 
the digital thermometer reading.  
c.  Remove the thermostat dial by pulling the knob straight out. DO NOT rotate the dial. 
d.  Holding the outside of the shaft so that it DOES NOT MOVE, scrape away the sealing 
compound in the center of the shaft with a small flat blade screwdriver. 
e.  Turn the adjustment screw clockwise to lower the thermostat’s temperature setting or counter- 
clockwise to raise it. 
 
NOTE 
One-quarter turn of the adjustment screw changes the temperature setting  
approximately 24°F (13 °C). 
 
f.  Turn the adjustment screw until the burners come on at 325°F (163 °F).  
g.  Replace the knob and allow the appliance to cycle 4 to 6 times. Check the temperature of the 
digital thermometer against the thermostat dial setting; if there is greater than a 5°F  
(3 °C) difference, repeat the calibration procedure.

3.1  Testing the Thermocouple: 
You will need a multimeter that can measure millivolts. Make sure that after holding a flame to the 
thermocouple it produces 30 mv. You can test for this by heating the thermocouple for about a minute and then 
place one lead on the copper casing of the thermocouple and the other lead on one of terminals of the hi limit 
wire connection. This is the easiest way to check the thermocouple but you are also going on the faith that the 
Radix wire and hi limit are good. If you do not get between 25 and 30 millivolts you need to replace this part, 
part number is P5047540. 
Stay away from any hard or sharp bends in the thermocouple. It tends to separate the wire inside the 
copper casing. Another good tip is when screwing in the thermocouple always start by hand. You should get 
several turns out of it before needing a wrench. Cross threading will damage the aluminum threads for the 
magnet. After the thermocouple is finger tight give it a quarter turn with a wrench, no more. If all these parts 
check out and the pilot still won’t stay lit you need to recheck everything something there is missing. 
  
3.2  Testing the Radix wire: 
Make sure that your Radix (gas valve to hi limit) wire isnt damaged or broken. The easiest is to remove 
the thermocouple from the valve, remove the Radix wire and inspect both sides of that butterfly connector. Make 
sure the wires arent broken and then check for continuity through it. If it is bad the part number is B6779850.  
 
3.3  Testing the Hi Limit: 
Press the red reset button and make sure it doesnt click. If it does, push it until it doesnt. This means 
the unit overheated or the hi limit tripped early.  To check the trip temp of the switch the fryer will need to be run 
at a set temp of 400.  The limit should trip at 450 plus or minus 25 degrees.  Check for continuity through the 
posts to ensure that the switch is making contact.  If it wont reset or it reads an open signal you have a bad hi 
limit, the part number is PP10084. 
A couple of factors to look for that wont show up as a bad part is a crack in the black plastic casing of 
the hi limit. This would cause a problem; it happens when the radix wire is cross-threaded or over tightened. 
 
3.4  Testing the Gas Valve: 
 With the thermocouple and Radix wire removed, take one lead of a multimeter and place it into the 
center of the magnet of the valve. The magnet is the aluminum insert on the valve you screw the thermocouple 
into. There is a concave landing in the center of the insert. It is insulated from the rest of the valve. Place the 
other lead on the threaded part of the insert. Make sure the lead on the center landing doesnt tough anything 
else or you will get an incorrect reading. Youre checking resistance, and youre looking for 8 to 11 ohms. If its 
more or less you have a bad magnet inside the valve and the valve needs to be replaced.
