NOTICE It is recommended that your appliance be inspected by a qualified technician on a yearly basis. L80-029 Rev 5 10/07 Theory of Operation: A natural gas burning appliance requires roughly 10 cubic feet of air to properly combust a single cubic foot of gas. Minute airborne particles entrained during this process pass through the combustion system and are incinerated. However, some particles may be trapped within the combustion system, building up over time, causing an eventual decrease in the operational efficiency of your appliance. The rate at which this build up may occur varies from kitchen to kitchen and is greatly influenced by the environment (breading, flour etc.) and kitchen processes (i.e. cleaning). Historically, frequent cleaning of burners and other combustion related components has been the only way to insure optimal efficiency of your fryer. The Pitco Self Cleaning Burner System (SCBS) will minimize the cost and inconvenient down time of frequent cleaning of combustion system components. Each morning when the appliance is turned on, a small amount of gas is momentarily diverted into a runner tube, which, after passing by the pilot, ignites and causes a short but effective light back at the main burner orifice. This brief flame bath cleans the inside of the burner face by incinerating any foreign matter that has accumulated from the previous day’s operation. The Pitco Self Cleaning Burner System is designed to help maintain proper operation and efficiency of your appliance’s combustion system by minimizing the build up of any foreign material inside the burner housings. Proper installation of this upgrade and periodic maintenance of the appliance are critical to safe, reliable and efficient operation.
