Soot coming out of flu
Hi there.
Soot coming out of the flue indicates poor flame quality and probably carbon or soot build up on fire tubes.
Have a technician check the gas pressure and the fire tubes for verification and cleaning if needed.
Regards.
Pico fryer not operating at full preformance>
Hi there.
Check the gas pressure; low gas pressure results in low oil recovery.Check also the fire tubes for soot build up, clean as needed. The quantity and quality of product should also be considered, overloaded and/ or frozen product reduces the oil recovery.

How do I jump/bypass the high limit switch?
Hi there.
Hi limits can be bypassed by connecting jumper wire from common to normally close terminals but this should only be done for testing purposes, if proven defective you have to replace it with a good one before using the unit in cooking.
Hi limit is the safety device of fryers responsible for shutting the gas valve in case oil temp reaches 450f to avoid oil from catching fire.

The front drain is leaking
Hi there.
Check first if there are no foreign objects hangings on the ball causing leak.
If you really need to change the ball valve, cling the jaw of a 14-inch pipe wrench on the neck of the valve connected to the fryer drain and turn it counter clockwise (***do this with no oil on fry tank and make sure that the tank is cold).
Wrap a teflon tape on the thread before installing the new ball valve.
Regards.
Soot coming
Hi there. Check the gas pressure, it should meet the the nameplate required pressure, low gas pressure produce poor flame quality which results in soot formation.. The type of gas must also be compatible with the orifice sizes on pilot and burners. Check and clean as needed all soot formation on burners and fire tubes.
Regards.
