The function of a high limit in a fryer
The hi-limit in a fryer is an essential safety feature that shuts down the fryer when the thermostat fails to regulate the temperature. It prevents overheating by cutting off gas or electrical supply when temperatures exceed safe levels, protecting against fire hazards. Addressing frequent tripping indicates possible thermostat failure or electrical issues, requiring immediate attention.
Preventing Hi Limit Tripping When Using Solid Fat in Fryers
To prevent hi-limit tripping in gas, electric, and computer-controlled fryers when using solid fat, wrap the fat around fire tubes or heating elements, minimizing air gaps. Start at the lowest thermostat setting, and gradually increase the heat after the fat melts. Even with automated fryers, this precaution ensures efficient melting and prevents overheating.
Valve operation of gas fryer
This is about the procedure of turn on and off the valve of a Brandon gas fryer. The SIT gas valve’s restart interlock feature introduces a 10-second delay after shutdown, ensuring the valve fully closes and residual gas is purged before restarting.

Reducing exhaust to improve yellow or lazy flame
Why reducing exhaust can help (in some cases) Think of the kitchen as an air-balance equation: Exhaust (out) – Make-Up Air (in) = Pressure deficit (ΔP). In short: you’re not “adding oxygen” by reducing exhaust — you’re removing excessive suction so the oxygen already being supplied can actually reach the burners without being whisked away
