It should be listed on the label unless it was changed at some point. The only way to tell is to use numbered drill bits to see what size hole is in each brass orfice of the burners, usually 3 to 5. The manual will list the orfice size for LP or NAT by the fryer BTU output. Most manuals can be found online, if you don't have a copy. This will require removing part of at least one burner to check the hole size. New orfices are normally about $20 each, most are marked on the side of the brass orfice. Note: some people drill out the holes to convert LP to NAT gas. Don't trust what is marked on the orfice, be sure to check with a drill bit. Small numbered bits can be hard to locate in most hardware stores. Found mine at Harbor Freight Tools.
SOURCE: want to change natural gas to propane
You need to change the regulator,gas valve and burner orfices and possibly the pilot.If you have a commercial fryer go to 3wire.com and you will find the part's you need.Any questions?
SOURCE: change from natural gas to propane
1.You will need to change the pilot orifice and the burner orifices
2. You may need to change the gas control valve. Some gas control valves are made for natural gas and some are made for LP. They have regulators built-in, that deliver the correct pressure respectively. Natural gas is 3.5 inches of water column, LP is 10 inches of water column.
Some manufacturers sell kits to change the spring in the regulator from Nat to LP
You would need a parts breakdown on the specific model number of your fryer to find the parts you need. Hope this helps.

When the whole unit shuts down including the pilot light the thermocouple is not working properly. The thermocouple is what tells the gas safety valve that the pilot light is lighted. When the thermocouple fails and does not send the milli-volt (mv) signal to the gas safety valve due a failure the gas safety valve turns off the gas supply. (i.e total shut down)
If you have a handyman around you can have him disconnect the thermocouple from the gas valve control and clean the mating area in the gas valve and on the bitter end of the thermocouple. After cleaning then reconnect the thermocouple. This sometimes corrects the problem. FYI you can get a thermocouple at most any large appliance parts supply. (You will need to the know total length) It would be even better to have the old one in hand during the trip to the parts store.
Thanks for using FixYa,

You will need a conversion kit from natural gas, most of this kit contains gas valve spring, burner and pilot orifice. Check the nearest authorized dealer in your area and ask buy the appropriate conversion for your fryer.
