The controlling thermostat used in the 35 Series fryers is sensitive to one-degree changes in temperature. All 35 Series fryers are equipped with a high-limit thermostat. In the event that the fryer fails to properly control the oil temperature, the high-limit thermostat prevents the fryer from overheating to the flash point.
Accessing Fryers for Servicing Moving a fryer filled with cooking oil may cause spilling or splattering of the hot liquid. Follow the draining instructions in Chapter 4 of this manual before attempting to relocate a fryer for servicing. 1. Drain shortening from fryer.
Adjusting the Pilot Flame Non-CE Gas Valves 1. For Non-CE Gas Valves, remove the screw from the pilot adjustment screw hole on the gas valve. 2. Using a small, flat-tipped screwdriver, turn the pilot adjustment screw counterclockwise to in- crease the length of the flame or clockwise to decrease the length of the flame.

(Turning the shaft counterclockwise causes the burner to light; turning it clockwise causes it to shut off.) 8. Allow the fryer to sit for a few minutes, then slowly turn the flexible shaft counterclockwise until the burner lights.
12. Close the fryer control panel and replace the screws in the upper corners. 13. Reinstall the thermostat knob with its pointer aligned with the 325ºF (162ºC) index mark on the temperature dial. 14. Reconnect the fryer to the electrical power supply.
Section 1.7 for calibration instructions. 1.8.3 Replacing the High-Limit Thermostat in Standard MJ35 Fryers 1. Drain the fryer and turn the gas off. 2. Disconnect the wires at the gas valve. 3. Use a slotted socket to unscrew the high-limit thermostat from the frypot.

c: Press down on top of thermopile, forcing it out of the pilot bracket. 3. To replace only the thermopile in fryers with the current design pilot assembly (see illustration ⁄ below), use a -inch open-end wrench to loosen the thermopile, then unscrew it from the pilot assembly.
1.8.8 Replacing the Frypot 1. Drain the frypot. 2. Remove all accessories (e.g., frypot covers, basket lift arms, etc.) from the fryer. 3. Disconnect the fryer from the gas and electrical power supplies. 4. Remove the screws from the top cap above the control panel and lift it up and off the fryer(s).
13. Disconnect the oil return lines or hoses on fryers equipped with filter systems. 14. Lift the frypot, complete with the burner, gas valve, flue, and drain valve, from the fryer cabinet. After lifting the frypot partially out of the cabinet, tilt the front downward to allow the drain valve to clear the cabinet top and front crossbar.
1. Open or grounded high limit 2. Loose/corroded wire connections 3. Low or no voltage out of thermopile 4. Bad gas valve 1.9.2 Problems Related to the Gas and/or Electrical Current CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR THE 35 SERIES MILLIVOLT IGNITION SYSTEM PILOT GENERATOR ADJ. PILOT P.S.I.
The main indicator of a gas or electrical circuit problem is that an entire battery of fryers fails to light. Verify that the quick disconnect fitting on the flexible gas hose is properly connected, the fryer is plugged in, and the main gas supply valve is open. 1.9.3 Problems Related to the Electrical Circuits...
Flames “rolling” out of the fryer are usually an indication of negative pressure in the kitchen. Air is being sucked out of the fryer enclosure and the flames are literally following the air. If negative pressure is not the cause, check for high burner manifold gas pressure in accordance with the procedures in Chapter 5 of the Installation and Operation Manual (P/N 819-5776).
Occasionally a burner may apparently be operating correctly, but nevertheless the fryer has a slow recovery rate (the length of time required for the fryer to increase the oil temperature from 250ºF to 300ºF (121ºC to 149ºC). The primary causes of this are low burner manifold pressure and/or misaligned or missing deflector targets.

If the motor tries to run but the pump does not, there is a blockage in the pump. Incorrectly sized or installed paper will allow food particles and sediment to pass through the filter pan and into the pump. When sediment enters the pump, the gears can bind up causing the motor to overload, again. A pump seized by debris or hard shortening can usually be freed by manually moving the gears with a screwdriver or other instrument.
1.9.9 Basket Lift Malfunctions 35 Series fryers may optionally be equipped with automatic basket lifts to ensure uniform cooking times. The lifts may be configured for manual control or for control via a basket lift timer. Basket lifts will always come in pairs, although each operates independently.
Problems with the basket lift system can be grouped into three categories: • Binding/jamming problems • Motor problems • Electronics problems Binding/Jamming Problems Noisy, jerky or erratic movement of the lifts is usually due to lack of lubrication of the rods and their bushings.
