Fastron Parts For Pitco 18 General Manual

Upgrade Kit
For Pitco 18" Gas
and Electric Fryers

The FAST Upgrade Kits for Pitco
Electric Fryers give higher and more
consistent yields than any electro­mechanical controls or other electronic
controllers already installed in your
kitchen.

Easiest To Install & Use

Simply remove the original controls
from the fryer manufacturer and slide
in the FAST controller made by the
industry’s controller specialists.

Ensure Food Safety and Quality

Product that is undercooked or held
too long in the Danger Zone (40°­140°F/5°-60°C) can potentially expose
your customers and crew to danger­ous food-borne illness. Bacteria
multiplication can be prevented by
controlling the time a product is
cooked and/or held. The (FASTRON.)
helps operators avoid food safety
dangers by automatically monitoring
these cook and hold times. Precisely
timed products deliver consistently
good-tasting food to your customers.
Hold timers also ensure that expired
product is never served.

Increase Yields

Independent tests show the
(FAST.Flex)
the best and most consistent yields
across load sizes and cooking temper­atures, regardless of product
temperature and moisture content.
A reduction in food waste can also
be realized.

choose from a pre-programmed library
of standard menu items.

Interchangeable with Other Fryers

Easily move your (FASTRON.) to
another fryer eliminating the need to
purchase a new control. The controller
can be configured to work on fryers
from a variety of manufacturers.

Secure Operation

Separate pass codes for store man­agers and employees prevent
unauthorized re-programming.

Energy Savings (optional)

Save energy dollars with the FAST
patented Set Back feature. The con­troller will automatically lower the
appliance’s temperature during inac­tive periods.

Filter Lockout Oil Management

(optional). Reduce costs by extending
the usable life of your oil with the
FAST patented SmartStat
ture control technology. Filtering your
oil at pre-set time(s) of the day will not
only give you longer oil life, but will
also improve product flavor and
reduce the amount of time and labor it
takes to change out the oil.
