5. Strike and place a wooden match through lighting hole to approximately
1/2" (1 to 2cm) from the burner.
6. Push and hold red cap near bottom of control panel for 30 seconds.
7. If burner does NOT ignite immediately, turn the regulator control knob and
cylinder valve to OFF, wait 5 minutes for gas to evacuate and repeat steps
1 through 6 until burner ignites.
8. If the burner does not light within the first few attempts, there is a problem
with the gas supply. Turn off the gas at the burner and cylinder. DO NOT
attempt to operate the fryer until the problem is found and corrected.
HOW TO REIGNITE BURNER:
It is recommended to place lid over cooking vessel before reigniting burner to avoid burns from
splashes. Follow steps 1 through 6 above, to reignite burner. Use caution when lighting the burner, as
hot oil from cooking vessel may have splattered and run down the sides of the unit creating a slick
surface.
BURNER FLAME CHECK
Adjust flame height using regulator control
knob. Rotate air shutter to achieve mostly
blue flame. The air shutter mounted on the
front of your burner helps to control the amount
of air that mixes with the LP gas. A blue flame
with little or no yellow flame provides the
best heat. Adjust the air shutter until the
desired flame is achieved.
Note: Make sure the male fitting on the fryer is screwed into the air shutter and tightened securely. Do not
over-tighten as the air shutter needs to move freely in order to adjust air intake. Check the attachment
for proper connection every time propane tank is connected to fryer.
TURNING OFF THE FRYER:
1. Turn OFF the LP cylinder valve.
2. Turn regulator control knob to the OFF position.
Note: Turn off LP cylinder first to prevent gas from
being left in the system under pressure.
3. To disconnect valve regulator/hose assembly, turn the
large regulator coupling counter-clockwise by hand.
WARNING
The LP cylinder valve should always be in the OFF
or closed position when the fryer is not in use.
