Re: How do i get the pilot light to remain lit on my new...
Did you hold the pilot light button down long enough? It takes between 20 seconds - 1 minute to properly heat the thermistor before you can turn the switch to "On".

TO LIGHT THE PILOT
1.Open the door.
2. Turn the thermostat OFF The thermostat is located
behind the door.
3. Push the gas control valve knob and turn to OFF. Wait 5 minutes for unburned gas
to vent.
4. Push and turn gas control valve knob to the "L" in PILOT.
5. While still holding the knob in, light the pilot with a lit flame. Continue to depress the
knob until pilot remains lit when knob is released. If the pilot does not remain lit,
repeat step 3 through 5.
6. Depress and turn gas control knob to ON
there is a small adjustment screw on the gas valve,turn it clockwise to increase pilot,if that does not work the vent cap on the gas regulator on the back of the unit could be stopped up,remove that cap ,clean out or replace unit can operate without it just fine.If you increase the pilot and it still wont stay lit replace the thermocouple
If you have a pitco 35 fryer, all you need to do is have gas connected and turned on, rotate the know on the gas valve to the pilot position, depress the knob, while holding the knob down light the pilot, normally located in between the burner tubes in the middle of the front of the fryer, hold the knob for 60 seconds, when you release the pilot should remain on. If it does rotate the pilot know to the "on" position, from this point the thermostat should control the fryer. If your pilot does not stat lit, press the red button on the hi-limit to reset it, it could be tripped and this would cause the pilot to not hold. Hope this is helpful.
