Frymaster BK1814 Series Gas Fryers
Chapter 4: Fryer Operations
4-3
WARNING
Never use a match or taper to light pilot on this ignition system.
1. Ensure the frypot is filled to the appropriate line with oil or water.
2. Turn gas "ON".
3. Turn electric power "ON" with the power button on the computer.
4. The ignition module will energize the pilot gas supply and the ignitor. The ignitor spark will
ignite the pilot gas. The presence of the pilot flame is then proved by a flame sensor, which
sends a signal to the main gas supply, opening the valve. The computer controls the fryer after
ignition.
WARNING
In the event of prolonged power failure, the ignition module will shut down and lock
out the system. Turn the unit power "OFF" and then back "ON" after power has been
re-established.
5. If the pilot flame fails, the ignition module will shut down and lock out the system. To restart,
turn the computer "OFF", wait approximately 5 minutes for the system to recycle itself, then turn
the computer "ON" again. Repeat Steps 1-3.
6. See operational instructions in 1814 Computer manual. Do not leave the fryer unattended during
operation.
WARNING
When checking for burner ignition or performance, do not get too close to the
burners. Slow ignition can cause possible flashback, increasing the potential for
facial and body burns.
