NOTE:

•This unit is shipped with factory installed gas Orifice(s) suited for 0 > 3,000 feet above MSL (Natural Gas) or 0 > 4,000 feet above MSL (LP Gas).

Gas flow varies at different elevations. Verify the elevation of the installation location. If the elevation is greater than noted above,the gas orifice(s) must be changed. To confirm that proper orifices are installed or to exchange orifice(s), follow the steps below.

!CAUTION

•If changing Gas Types always consult factory for proper Conversion Kit.

1.Ensure power to the unit is disconnected.

2.Confirm that gas valves are in the OFF position.

3.Remove the Fan Guard & Back Panel.

4.It should be possible to examine the stampings on orifice(s) without removing parts. Check information stamped into Orifice.

5.If the Orifice(s) are incorrect for the installation altitude, disconnect Gas Line(s) at the Manifold fitting(s).

6.Remove Manifold(s) from Bracket. Remove & replace Orifice(s) with the correct part. See charts below.

7.Re-install Gas Manifold(s) with orifice(s), reconnect gas line(s), and replace Panel & Guard. Proceed to 2-10; Gas Pressure Setting and Adjustment..

2-11. Blower Vacuum Switch Setting and Adjustment

The Blower Vacuum Switch ensures that the unit has proper draft air-flow before allowing the gas valve to open for ignition. Use the following steps to ensure that the Blower Vacuum Switch is adjusted to the proper setting.

1.Fill the Fry Pot with water to the FULL line.

!CAUTION

•NEVER check or adjust the Blower Vacuum Switch without having fry pot filled with water, or oil.

2.Place the Power Switch in the ON position, the Power Light will illuminate.

3.Place the Selector Switch in the COOK position; Heat Light will illuminate and burner(s) will light.

!CAUTION

•During the next step use great caution and wear oven mitts. The air exhausted from the flue stack is EXTREMELY HOT!!

4.Using a non-combustible material, such as a piece of metal, cover about half of the flue stack opening, diagonally from corner to corner.

5.The Heat Light should turn off & the burner(s) should shutdown. When the opening is unblocked, the burner(s) should re-light. Proceed to step 10.

If the burner(s) fails to shutdown, the Blower Vacuum Switch must be adjusted as follows.

6.Turn off power & close the gas valve.

7.Remove front Control Panel screw and lower the Panel.

8.Locate pressure switch on left side of the control box.

9.Slowly rotate the pressure switch adjustment dial - clockwise increases sensitivity, counterclockwise decreases. Repeat steps 2 - 5.

Continue adjustments until the burner(s) shutdown when approx. half the flue stack opening is blocked.

10.Drain water from the Fry Pot into a suitable container (NOT Filter Pan). Proceed to Section 2- 12.
