LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS
GF-30H and HLP Fryers are furnished with a pilot safety valve. Please follow the instructions below.
Before Lighting Pilot and Burners
Fill the fat tank about 3/4" below the full linewith proper frying cornpound beforelighting pilot. The reason for
filling the tank 3/4" below the full line is that the frying corn pound will expand during the preheating process.
If the frying compound expands above the full line, the frying compound may overflow out of the tank during
the cooking process. The reason for adding fry compound in fry tank before lighting the pilot or burners is
that the unit will be damaged if this is not done.
Pilot Safety Valve Lighting Instructions
1.Turn on main gas supplyto unit, on-off valve located under the unit.
2.Turn the burner temperature control knob to "OFF" position. Open the front panel and wait at least 5
minutes to allow any gas which may have accumulated in the combustion chamber toescape.
3.Turn the Off/Pilot/On valve control to Pilot. Depress the Off/Pilot/On valve control on the valve and
light the pilot. Keep the Off/Pilot/On valve control depressed for at least1-2 minutes after pilot has lit.
If pilot does not stay lit, repeat this step.All valve controls and dials must be operated by hand. Never
use pliers, wrenches or other tools to rotate valve control and temperature dial.
4.If pilot flame needs to be adjusted, remove the pilot adjust cover screwand turn the inner adjustment
screw clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust pilot flame to 1/2" to 3/4" long (12/19 mm) above the
pilot channel. This can be done while pilot stays lit to see flame size.
Lighting main burners
1.Make sure the temperature dial is in the off position before turning the Off/Pilot/On valve control to
the on position.
2.Wait at least 5 minutes for the Pilot/thermopile to warm up before turning the Off/Pilot/On valve to
the on position.
3.Since the burners are lit from constantly burning pilot, turn the temperature control knob to 375
degrees to put the unit in operation; then adjust to any desired temperature.
4.If the burners do not ignite, turn temperature dial to the off position and let the thermopile warm up
for a few more minutes then turn the temperature dial to 375 degrees to putin operation.
5.If the burners still do not ignite within 5 seconds, turn temperature dial to the off position. The pilot
flame may be too short and adjust to specification in step 4 above. Then repeat burner ignition
steps.
Main burner air supply
For efficient burner operation, a proper balance of gas volume and primary air supply must be maintained,
which will result in complete combustion. Insufficient air supply results in a yellow streaming flame. There
may be no obstructions to the bottom of the unit or the top flue. Primary air supply is controlled by an air
shutter on the front-of each burner. Loosen the hexagonal head screw on front of the burner, and adjust the
air shutter to just eliminate yellow tips of burner flame. Lock the air shutter in place by tightening the screw.
Repeat this procedure with all burners if necessary.Adjustment may not be required.
European Community
If adjustment becomes necessary in the field, it should be done by a factory authorized and trained
technician who should seal the screw after the adjustment to safeguard against unauthorized tampering by
the end user.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
All burners are lit from constantly burning pilots. Turning the thermostat to the desired temperature is all that
is required to put the unit in service.

Do not permit fans to blow directly at the unit. Wherever possible, avoid open windows next to the unit's
sides or back. Avoid wall type fans which create air cross-currents within a room. It is also necessary that
sufficient air should be allowed to enter the room to compensate for the amount of air removed by any
ventilating system. Otherwise, a subnormalatmospheric pressure will occur, which will effect operation and
cause undesirable working conditions.
A properly designed and installed hood will act as the heart of the ventilating system for the room or area in
which the unit is installed and will leave the unit independent of changing draft conditions.
All valves and thermostats must be checked periodically. Consult the authorized service representative in
your area.
CLEANING
Initial Cleaning
Always clean equipment thoroughly before first use. Clean the protective oil from the bright parts and
interior of tank with a solution of washing soda or other grease dissolving material.
Cleaning
1.Always turn unit off and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2.Never clean unit by immersing it in water.
3.The frequency of cleaning should depend on the load conditions. Set a definite cleaning schedule
corresponding to how hard the kettle is used. Cleaning should be done at aleast once a week.
4.Strain the frying compound into a clean container. Make sure there is no compound left in tank. (If
the tank is left empty for more than 2 minutes, shut the pilot off. If this is not done, the tank may be
damaged.)
5.Add water to the "FULL" line.
6.Add any good grade of cleaner following cleaner instructions.
7.Turn the thermostat to 250 degrees F.Let the heating unit bring the solution to aboil.
8.Boil long enough to loosen or dissolve all varnish or carbon deposits. This should take
approximately 30 minutes.
9.Turn the unit off.
10.If necessary, clean the thermostat probes using a long-handled fiber or plastic brush and mild soap
solution.
11.Rinse with clean water to remove all cleaning mixture.
12.Rinse the inside of the tank with2 cups of vinegar.
13.Rinse with clean water until the vinegar odor is gone. The fry tank must be thoroughly rinsed since
even a trace of cleaner left inside the tank will contaminate the fry compound.
14.Dry thoroughly.
15.Cover the tank if compound will not be addeduntil a future date.
16.Clean all exterior surfaces of unit on a regular basis with a damp cloth. Thin films of oil subjected to
frying temperatures quickly form into gummy consistency. In order to avoid these gum formations,
clean the surfaces on a regular basis.
17.To remove discolorationsor oil film, a non-abrasive cleaner maybe used.
Make sure pilot is turned off at this time.
Cleaning Burner Air Shutters
Burner ports and burner air shutters must be kept clean. To remove burners, turn off the Off/Pilot/On valve
control. Remove back panel. Remove the hold down strap that secures the burners. Then lift up on the
burner end then slide out of unit. To clean burners, boil them in a detergent and water solution for 15
minutes. Either brush with a wire brush or clean gas ports with a sharp pointed metal instrument to ensure
positive open ports.
1.Turn the temperature control knob to the off position. Or turn the Off/Pilol/On valve control to Pilot if
you wish not to change the temperature setting. (The pilot flame alone will keep the frying
compound temperature to 130-145 degrees F. when not under any load. This will shorten preheat
time when turned back on.)
EXTENDED SHUTDOWN (4 DAYS ORLONGER)
1.Turn the temperature control knobto the off position.
2.Turn the Off/Pifot/On valve control knob to the off position.
3.Turn the manual control valveunder the unit to the off position.
4.Turn the supply valve tothe off position (not supplied by APW Wyott).
5.The entire flue duct opening on the top rear of unit must always beleft uncovered.
Filling Fry Tank (CAUTION: NEVER LIGHT PILOT OR TURN BURNERS ON WITH EMPTY TANK)
1.Fill the fry tank approximately 3/4" below the full line. The fry compound will expand as it is heated.
Heat the fry compound to 375 degrees for 20 minutes then check the level. Add or decrease amount
of fry compound so it lines up with the full line.
2.When using solid frying compound, put enough compound in fry tank so at least half or more of the
tank has compound in it. Then set the temperature to 200 degrees on dial and allow the compound
to liquefy.Add to adjust compound level.
3.Use a quality frying compound.
4.Filter the frying compound frequently,at least once a day.
5.Skim out food particles frequently with a strainer/skimmer.
6.Add at least 15% (of fry tank capacity) of fresh frying compound daily (more if possible) without
overloading tank. If 15% of frying compound is not used daily, remove some of the compound for
other use (gravy, griddle frying, etc.) to permit adding 15% of fresh compound daily.
7.Do not overload the fry baskets. This will result in longer recovery time, longer cook time, and
compound absorption into the product.
8.Prepare the food properly.
9.Keep salt out of the frying compound. Do not salt foods with the basket abovethe kettle.
10.Ensure a good thermostat operation by checking frying compoundtemperature with a reliable frying
thermometer.Temperature of compound should be comparable to thermostat setting.
11.Keep the fry tank and thermo-probes clean.
Thermostat Calibration
The fryer control is factory calibrated. If cooking results indicate unit is not maintaining correct
temperatures, consult an authorized service representative.
