OVERVIEW
To briefly explain, the (FASTRON.) VC-210 Process
(FAST.) is not liable for any use of product not in
accordance with its installation and operating
instructions.
Before using this equipment, or for any questions

COOKING CONTROLLER OPERATING
ENVIRONMENT
The solid state components in this controller are
designed to operate reliably in a temperature range up
to 158°F/70°C. Before installing this controller, it should
be verified that the ambient temperature at the
mounting location does not exceed 158°F/70°C.
CLEANING THE CONTROLLER
Using a clean damp cloth, wipe down your controller
daily using a commercial quality foodservice-approved
detergent.
Do not allow oil to build up on any part of the controller.
Controller has been designed to be used on a Winston
Fryer with you, the operator, in mind. Using this
process controller will help to simplify the cooking
process for all products cooked in the pressure fryer. It
allows precise temperature control, eliminates,
calibration, produces greater product quality and
consistency, and increases oil life.
The process controller operates by pressing the
appropriate key and will automatically control both the
oil temperature of the fryer and the cook time of the
product being cooked. The controller will also
automatically close the solenoid valve to pressurize
the cooking vessel. After the cooking cycle is
complete, the controller will signal the operator the
product is done and is ready to be removed and
served.
NOTE: This manual will thoroughly familiarize you with
the installation and operation procedures of the
(FASTRON.) Process Controller so that you may use
this controller in the most effective way to enhance the
smooth running of your restaurant’s cooking
operations.
Please read all instruction carefully before beginning
the installation of this controller. This manual will
explain what you have to do to get the (FASTRON.)
VC-210 Process Controller operational and what tools
you will need to do this. It will then take you step by
step through the installation and operating instructions.
NEVER use chemical or abrasive cleaners
on your controller. The controller’s overlay
may be damaged.
If any problems occur, or if you have any questions
about the instructions, contact FAST technical support
toll-free at 1-800-243-9271.
