Replacing the Gas Burner Assembly

The gas model fryer has a gas burner assembly consisting of a burner casting,

orifices, thermocouple, pilot holder, and main gas control valve.

To avoid personal injury or property damage, before starting this procedure, move the main power switch to the off position. Disconnect the main circuit breakers at the circuit breaker box or unplug service cord from wall receptacle. Turn off the main gas supply to the fryer and disconnect and cap the main supply line to fryer, or possible explosion could result.

To avoid personal injury or explosion, check piping and fittings for gas leaks. Leaking gas may cause an explosion.

Check for leaks per Gas Supply. If a leak is detected, shut off gas control valves and repair leak.

NOTICE -

If converting from natural gas to propane gas or from propane gas to natural gas, conversion must be done by a qualified service technician.

NOTICE -

To avoid product damage, do not drop or impact the pilot orifice. The burner will not operate without orifice.
