DECATHLON SERIES GAS FRYERSCHAPTER 1: SERVICE PROCEDURES1-111.5 Adjusting the Pilot Flame1.5.1 Main Pilot1. Remove the cap from the pilot adjustment screw hole on the gas valve.2. Using a small, flat-tipped screwdriver, turn the pilot adjusting screw counterclockwise toincrease length of flame or clockwise to decrease length of flame. Adjust to obtain a flame from1 inch to 1½ inches long.3. Reinstall the pilot adjustment screw cap.1.5.2 Trailing PilotIn older Decathlon units, the trailing pilot may need adjusting. Adjust the trailing pilot valve locatedon the burner manifold until a flame from 1 inch to 1½ inches long is obtained. Current productionunits do not have an adjustment.1.6 Calibrating the Thermatron(and Optional Backup Operating Thermostat)1.6.1 Thermatron1. Fill the frypot to the lower OIL-LEVEL line with cooking oil. If solid shortening is used, it mustbe melted before starting the calibration procedure.2. Ensure the fryer ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position and light the pilot.3. Place the fryer ON/OFF switch in the ON position. Set the electronic thermostat dial to 325°F(162°C).4. Allow the oil to equalize at setpoint temperature. This is evident when the burners have cycledon and off several times.5. Insert a thermometer or pyrometer into the frypot within 3 inches of the probe bulb. Ensure thetip of the thermometer/pyrometer does not touch the frypot burner-tube.6. If the temperature on the thermometer is higher or lower than 325°F (162°C), the knob is out ofcalibration.7. Calibrate the knob by first loosening the setscrew and slowly turn the knob to match thetemperature reading of the thermometer. Tighten the setscrew, ensuring the knob does not moveon the shaft during tightening.8. Allow burners to cycle on and off several times, then recheck oil temperature as described inStep 5. If the thermostat dial temperature matches the thermometer temperature, the thermostatis calibrated. If not, repeat Step 7.PDF compression, OCR, web optimization using a watermarked evaluation copy of CVISION PDFCompressor
