SCHEMATIC COMPONENT FUNCTION Thermostat - Millivolt type with capillary bulb, single-throw break on temperature rise. Temperature range of 200°F to 400°F. Thermopile - Millivolt control with 24" capillary. Rated to generate 500 millivolts. Combination Valve - Regulates gas flow to burner and pilot. Provides pilot safety. Hi-Limit - Prevents overheating of fryer in the event of thermostat failure. Opens at 450°F and automatically resets at 415°F. – 13 –

TROUBLESHOOTING SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE 4. Leaking tank. A. Foam-over by depleted shortening permits oil to drip from the tank surface, giving the appearance of leaking. B. Careless draining procedures. Gas valve should be in the PILOT or OFF position before draining oil. Burners heating an empty tank will damage tank joints. C. Carbon buildup causes rapid attack on tank by promoting acid formulation. 5. Pilot burner flames adjusted properly, but A. Check gas pressure at submanifold fitting on fl
