1. Low gas supply pressure [less than 6” W.C.
for natural gas (11” W.C. for propane)
when
all other gas-powered equipment is
operating], causing reduced heat from main
burners.
2. Low gas manifold pressure [less than 3½”
W.C.for natural gas (10” W.C. for propane).
1. Turn the thermostat control
knob to OFF. If the burners
do not quit burning, the thermostat has failed and must
be replaced.
2. Turn the gas control valve knob
to OFF. If the burners do not
quit burning, the gas control
valve has failed and must be
replaced.
1. Measure the gas supply pressure.
Contact your local gas supplier
to obtain adequate gas supply
volume and pressure.
2. Measure the gas pressure at
the fryer’s manifold pressure
tap. Adjust the manifold pressure (see Figure 6), as necessary: [a] Unscrew (and retain) the threaded Main Burner
Regulator Adjustment Cover .
[b] Use a flat-blade screwdriver to turn the regulator
adjustment screw (clockwise to
increase; counterclockwise to
decrease) to reset the pressure
adjustment. [c] Reinstall, and
tighten the Regulator Adjustment Cover, when finished.

3. Loose knob on thermostat; or thermostat
requires calibration (temperature setting
differs by about 10°F from the measured
shortening temperature).
3. Stir the shortening to mix the
hot shortening with some from
the lower ‘cool zone’ and allow
it to sit for 5 minutes. Turn the
thermostat knob until it ‘clicks’
on (causing the main burners to
flame); note the setting where
this occurs. Turn the thermostat knob until it ‘clicks’ off
(causing the main burners to go
out); note the setting where this
occurs. Repeat this tempera-

Measure the temperature of
the shortening by inserting an
accurate thermometer about
4 inches into the shortening to
measure its temperature. If the
temperature difference between the measured temperature and the thermostat setting
is more than 15°F the thermostat is failing and must be
replaced.
