When the deep fryer pasts 300 degrees or over the light is meant to turn off, though when it is on 300 or over the light stays on and the oil stays heated. What should I do?

SOURCE: problems with fryer

your problem is the thermostat is bad.the reason it shuts down is that it trips the hi limit.the hi limit is a saftey device that shuts the system down so the oil doesnt get too hot and catch on fire.remove all the oil from the tank and you should see 2 skinny metal bulbs one is the hi limit bulb the other is the t-stat bulb,make sure they are secured to the bracket.if the t-stat bulb isnt you will also have this issue,simply reattach it.let me know.

SOURCE: fryer will only go to 250 degrees

Need to calibrate the thermostate,or replace it

SOURCE: comercial deep fryer pilot light goes out

This problem could be caused by a few different things. You should check the condition of your pilot and the thermocouple, if the pilot is weak due to being dirty you will not generate the optimum Millivolts to run the fryer, you may need to dissassemble and clean the pilot. The thermocouple needs to be correctly placed in the pilot assembly, if it has dropped down to where it is not in the flame it will not work correctly. You may need a new thermopile as it may not be generating millivolts as needed. Gas pressure can cause this as well, if the pilot goes out then the main burners come on you should check the gas pressure. One more thing to check is the hi-limit thermostat, if this is cutting out early your pilot will go out. Imperial uses a self-resetting limit, after a few minutes your fryer will relight and work until if cuts out again. If your fryer pilot stay on with the thermostat off for long periods of time and does not go out immediately when the burners come on and the pilot is clean, you may need a hi limit. This is a lot of info, I hope it helps.

SOURCE: How oftern should a deep fat fryer Oil be change

It depends on how much you use it. If you use every day all day them change oil once a week and cleaned at the same time. If used rarley then change oil when food tasted not as good as it shood.

SOURCE: Hi,i want to know wath is the oil's temperature

I would guess about 120-150F for the oil. There is a screw under a cap on the gas valve that you can use to regulate the pilot, but this is not recommended. The flame must be high enough to heat the thermopile sufficiently so that the pilot will stay on and the main valve actuate. For better or worse, most gas fryers are designed to keep solid shortning in a liquid state when off and to safely melt it overnight. If you need the oiler cooler, say for filtering, I suggest just turning off the pilot.
