Ensure there are liquid edible oil or solid shortening in hydro-cylinder before light the main fire;
Do not over the oil level line;
Do not ignite the main fire without any oil in hydro-cylinder to damage equipment, even cause severe accidents;

Turn off the valve

Turn temperature control knob to “OFF”, extinguish the flame of the main fire burner;
Turn safety valve knob to “PILOT”, this is in a standby state, the pilot light is burning;
Press down safety valve and turn to “OFF”.

Cooking

Before using the equipment for the first time, please use a mild detergent to wipe it for cleaning. Do not use corrosive or abrasives deter gent.
Pour liquid edible oil or solid shortening into hydro-cylinder, and do not over the oil level line；
If there is shortening, change to the lowest temperature as shortening melting to prevent burning and charring；
Put the frying basket when the temperature reaches the preset temperature
When you smell peculiar in the process of frying because of too high temperature or too many impurities in the oil, change or filter oil to solve it;
Install the matched cooking fume exhauster according to the local regulations of the char broiler;

Yellow flame(lack of air) blow flame(too much air) normal flame

Check and adjust pressure regulator

Supplied gas pressure regulator is factory set at 4”Natural Gas W.C, and L.P. Gas pressure is factory set at 10”Natural Gas W.C;
Use a pressure gauge which is equipped with liquid (such as U-type pressure gauge, the minimum value is 0.1mbar) or a digital pressure gauge to test. Steps are as following:

Open cabinet door, remove needle type pressure joint screw arbor (Fig.8) , then slip rubber tube of pressure gauge over needle type pressure joint;
Start the equipment in accordance with the instructions, measuring gas supply pressure (dynamic pressure) in the work state;
Access to the equipment if measured data within the limits of Table 1, otherwise, you will need to adjust gas pressure regulating valve or contact gas supplier; Fig.8
Unplug pressure gauge after you accomplish pressure testing, then install needle type pressure joint screw arbor. Important: must screw joint arbor in order to avoid gas escaping!
