Sizes, weights and input rates of all models arelisted in this manual.NOTE: The on-site supervisor is responsible for ensuring that operators are made aware of inherentdangers of operating a deep fat fryer, particularly aspects of oil filtration, draining, andcleaning of the fryer.2.3 Principles of OperationThe incoming gas flows through orifices and is mixed with air in the burners to create the correctratio for proper combustion. The mixture is ignited at the front end of each heat tube by the pilotlight. Internal diffusers slow the flame as it goes through the burner tube. This slower and moreturbulent flame gives much better heat transfer to the walls of the tubes, thereby heating the oilbetter.
