WARRANTY STATEMENT................................................................................................ i
TABLE OF CONTENTS ...................................................................................................... iii
This equipment is manufactured for the use
on a particular type of gas and electrical voltage which is specified on the rating plate located on the inside of the door.
When your fryers arrive, look them over carefully noting any damage on the freight bill. If concealed damage is found after you have accepted
the equipment, report it to the carrier immediately, as all claims must be filled within 15 days
of the receipt of the shipment. Also, be sure to
keep any packing materials as these will be necessary to make a claim.
Follow these installation instructions carefully.
A proper installation is important for the operation of the fryers.
Note: It is recommended that the ventilation
system be cleaned and maintained on a regular basis.
Quick Disconnect Gas Connection:
Units equipped with casters must be installed
with connectors that comply with the standards
for connectors for Movable Gas Appliances,
ANSI Z21.69-1987, and Addenda Z21.69A-
1989. (CAN/CGA - 6.16 and CAN/CGA - 6.9.)
This connection should include a quick disconnect device that complies with the Standard for
Quick Disconnect Devices for use with Gas Fuel,
ANSI Z21.41-1989. When installing a quick disconnect you must also install a means of limiting the
movement of the fryer. This device will prevent the
gas line or quick disconnect from being strained.
Fuel Supply Line Leak and Pressure Testing:
In the United States, all installations must conform to all local and state codes and well as the
National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI 223.1 1992). In
Canada, installations must be made in accordance to Canadian Standard CAN 1-B149.1 or
.2 “Installation Codes for Gas Burning Appliances & Equipment.”
Electrically operated appliances must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes;
or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1996;
in CANADA, with CSA C22-1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1.
Ventilation:
A proper ventilation system is also an important part of the installation. For information on
the construction and installation of ventilating
hoods, please see “Standard for the Installation of Equipment for the Removal of Smoke
and Grease Laden Vapors from Commercial
Cooking Equipment”, N.F.P.A. No. 96-1987.
Copies can be obtained by writing to the National Fire Protection Association, Battery March
Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
The fuel supply system must be tested before the machine can be used. If the fuel line is going to be tested
at a pressure greater than (>) 1/2 PSI (3.45 kPa), make
sure that the unit is disconnected from the fuel line.
If the fuel line is going to be tested at a pressure
equal to or less than (≤) 1/2 PSI (3.45 kPa), the machine can be connected to the supply but the gas valve
must be shut.
Clearances:
Minimum clearance of 6" (15cm) must be maintained from combustible construction on each
side and the rear of the equipment. This equipment may be installed on combustible floors.
Maintain a minimum of 24" (61cm) clearance in
front of the fryer to provide for proper operation,
maintenance and servicing.
NOTE: Do not block the area around the bottom or underneath the fryer. The air required to
support the gas combustion is drawn from the
underneath and sides of the fryer.
Leveling the fryers:
Leveling the fryers will help ensure proper opera-
1
tion. To level the fryers loosen the two set screws on
the caster/leg stem. Rotate the collar of the caster/
leg to raise or lower the height of the unit. Tighten
the set screws to lock the adjustment in place.
Filling the fryer with oil:
CAUTION:
Never operate this equipment empty. Always
make sure there is the correct amount of shortening or in the case of cleaning, water in the
fry tank before turning the unit ON.
It is very important to make sure the oil level is correct before attempting to heat shortening in your Pitco
fryer.
Liquid shortening can be poured directly into the fry
tank until the correct level has been reached. This is
indicated by a line on the right or left hand sides of
the inside of the fry tank. "C" is the level for Cold
shortening and "H" is the level for Hot shortening.
For solid shortening, the shortening must be cut
into small blocks about 1" (2.54 Cm) in size.
These small blocks must be placed under and
around the heat tubes.
Regular cleaning of this equipment, as well as
the hood, is an important part of proper maintenance. Clean the fry tanks using the Boil Out
procedure described in the operating manual.
A wiring diagram is located in the back of this
manual and inside the fryers.
Retain this manual for future reference.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Advanced Gas Fryer will have certain reactions to what is happening, knowing what
these reactions are and knowing what the machine is trying to do will enable us to diagnose
most of the problems likely to be encountered.
Heating System
•Power to the machine is turned ON.
•The computer is supplied with 24VAC and, if
the Drain Valve Handle is closed, the Proximity
Switch will supply 24 VAC to the DVI (Drain Valve
Interlock) Input at the computer. As soon as the computer is powered up it will show something on the
display.
•Computer calls for heat.
•Full Tank - The Heat Demand Relay will energize, supplying the Blower, the Pilot Solenoid on the
Gas Valve and the Ignition Control Modules with
power. Both Ignition Control Modules supply power
to the Spark Ignitors. At the same time one of the
Ignition Control Modules supplies power to the Gas
Cut Off Relay. The Gas Cut Off Relay energizes allowing the second Ignition Control Module to supply power to the normally open Pressure Switch.
When the Blower comes up to speed, which should
take a couple of seconds, the Pressure Switch will
close allowing 24 VAC to the Main Solenoid of the
Gas Valve. This will also supply the computer with
a heat feedback signal. Since there are two burners
in a full vat machine each of the Ignition Control
Modules alternately sends a spark signal to the Ignitor and tests for a flame sense signal from the same
Ignitor. When a flame sense signal is received it will
cease to send the spark signal and continue to sense
flame. If, after 10 seconds, a flame sense signal has
not been established the Ignition Control Module will
"Lock Out" and cease to run until reenergized.
•Split Vat - The same power that supplies the computer also supplies 24 VAC to the normally open
Pressure Switch. When the computer energizes the
Heat Demand Relay the Blower will be supplied with
power and come up to speed. At this time the air
pressure from the blower will close the Pressure
Switch and allow 24 VAC to go to the second set of
contacts within the Heat Demand Relay. Since the
Heat Demand Relay is now closed the Ignition Control Module and Hi Limit Switch will receive 24
VAC. If the Hi Limit Switch is NOT tripped it will
allow 24 VAC to be supplied to the Pilot Solenoid of
the Gas Valve. The Ignition Control Module supplies 24VAC to the Main Solenoid of the Gas valve.
The Ignition Control Module alternately sends a
spark signal to the Ignitor and tests for a flame sense
signal from the same Ignitor. When a flame sense
signal is received it will cease to send the spark signal and continue to sense flame. If, after 10 seconds,
a flame sense signal has not been established the Ignition Control Module will "Lock Out" and cease to
run until it re-energizes.
Hi - Limit System:
When the Hi Limit trips it causes the power to
the Pilot Solenoid to stop and gas will cease to
flow through the gas valve. This will cause a
Lock Out condition and the burners will not light.
The Hi Limit Switch should be manually reset by
pressing the Power Switch to the OFF position and
pressing it back to the ON position.
Filter System:
With the Filter Circuit Breaker in the ON position,
opening the RED Return Valve Handle will cause
the Pump On Relay to be energized and the pump
will begin to operate. Closing the Return Valve
Handle will de-energize the Relay and the Pump will
stop running.
Heat Tape:
All Advanced fryers are equipped with Heat Tape
which has an indicator light that will illuminate when
the piping is up to operating temperature, do not attempt to pump unless the Filter Ready Light has illuminated.

COMPONENT TROUBLESHOOTING
Temperature Probe:
plied to the coil. When energizing, the relay Switching Contacts will close, thus connecting the Common and Normally Open terminals.
The resistance of the probe decreases as the temperature rises. The lower the temperature the greater
the resistance change will be per degree of temperature change, as the temperature approaches the working range of the probe, the resistance change will
slow and become more linear. If the probe is suspect, check its resistance and the oil/air temperature
at which it was taken. Compare these values on the
chart below.
If the probe returns an open circuit or 0 Ohms reading it should be replaced. If the resistance varies more
than 20 Ohms from the above chart when being
checked between 325-375°F (162ºC - 190ºC) the
probe will give a false temperature reading on the
computer and should be replaced. However, it will
continue to operate at a slightly higher or lower temperature. Allow the oil to cool and check the probe
resistance at a lower temperature. As can be seen
from the chart a greater degree of offset can be allowed at a lower temperature.
Relays:
Hi Limits:
A Hi - Limit switch is a normally closed switch until
the temperature at its probe reaches 435ºF ± 15°
(225ºC ± 15º). In order to test this switch it will be
necessary to bypass the Heat Demand Relay.
This will cause the fryer to heat until the temperature of the oil reaches the necessary temperature to trip the Hi Limit.
WARNING
Do NOT leave the machine during this test. This
test will cause the oil to heat past the normal operating temperature and can cause damage to the
machine and its operator. Always use an external
temperature probe to observe the oil tempersature
during this procedure
In order to cause the oil to reach a temperature where
the Hi Limit will trip it will be necessary to bypass
the Heat Demand Relay. To do this, use a small
jumper wire and join the Normally Open (Terminal
#5) and Common (Terminal #3) terminals on the
switch section of the relay
If the switch does not trip between the prescribed
limits it is defective and should be replaced. Once
tripped, the switch cannot be reset until the oil
has cooled to approximately 400°F (204ºC). If
the switch cannot be reset it is defective.
Drain Valve & Return Valve Switches:
These switches are magnetically operated Reed
switches. When the Drain Valve handle is moved to
the open position, the Actuator will move away from
the switch causing the Reed switch to open. When
the Drain Valve is closed the Reed switch will close.
This switch can also be checked with an Ohm meter.
The normal gap between the Actuator and the Sensor switch on the Drain Valve handle is 1/8" - 1/4" (3 6 mm).
Relays will energize when the correct voltage is sup-
5
Transformer:
Ignitors:
Transformers are multiple input voltage, 24 volt output voltage and can be checked by reading the input
and output voltages.
Blower:
Check the voltage between the wires going to the
Blower. If 120 VAC is found and the Blower is NOT
turning it is defective.
Pressure Switch:
As the blower speed rises the amount of vacuum on
the suction side of the pressure switch rises past approximately 1.3" WC (0.325 kPa) the Presssure
Switch will close. When the vacuum falls below approximately 0.8" WC (0.2 kPa) the Pressure Switch
will open. With the Blower running, check the IN
and OUT voltage of the Switch. If 24VAC can be
found on one side but NOT the other the Pressure
Switch is defective.
When an Ignitor is supplied with power and does
NOT spark the Spark Gap should be checked.The
distance between the Ignitor and the Ground post
should be approximately 1/8" ± 1/32".
If the Ignitor is sparking but the Burner does not light,
check for a gas supply and make sure the Ignitor is
located in the correct position as shown in the drawing.
Gas Valve:
The Knob should be in the ON position. Check for
24VAC between the terminals marked MV and MV/
PV and between PV and MV/PV. If voltage IS found
between both of these connections and the Gas Valve
does not open the Gas Valve is defective. If voltage
is NOT present at both of the coils on the Gas Valve,
troubleshoot and repair the machine until voltage IS
present at both coils, retest the Gas Valve as previously described.
Ignition Control Modules:
When the Ignition Control Module is supplied with
24 VAC from the temperature control system at the
TH terminal it will send a signal to the Ignitor which
will begin to spark. At the same time the Ignition
Control Module will also have a 24 VAC output signal on the MV terminal. The Ignition Control Module will cause the Ignitor to spark for 10 seconds and
and then look for a flame sense signal, if it does not
receive a flame sense within 10 seconds signal it will
"Lock Out".
