1.7 To perform a Boil Out operation:
Normal maintenance of a fryer requires regular tank cleaning. This process involves draining the
vat of oil and filling with water. Cleaning solution is added, and the control is set to boil by one of
the following methods:
1.7.1 Automatic Boil Entry (Water Detection):
Fill the appliance with water and turn the appliance on. Heat will be applied to the vat warming
the water. This control will detect the presence of water by temperatures not rising above the
boiling point of water; 212°F (100°C). After a time at this temperature, displays will show
Heat will be disabled until the operator responds to this prompt. Pressing the [0] key is a YES
response to the boil prompt. If pressed, display will show . Heat will maintain
vat temperature at 185°F (85°C) for cleaning as long as the control remains on. To exit boil
mode control must be turned off.
Warning: Pressing any other key at the [PRESS 0 ] [TO BOIL ] prompt is regarded by the
control as a NO response. With this response, the control will apply heat to the vat as if oil
were present in the vat. With water in the vat, a rolling boil will result. This will cause
undesirable foam over conditions. And, a potential steam burn hazards to operators
performing cleaning operations.
1.7.2 Manual Boil Entry:
After filling an empty vat with water, turn the appliance on. Press the
key and enter key sequence [2], [1], [2]. If control is set to
display in the Celsius scale, press [1], [0], [0] keys to manually enter boil
mode. The display will show to indicate entry into boil
mode.
To exit boil mode, control must be turned off.

2 Control Filter Lockout (CFL) & Filtering:
This computer includes the Time Of Day-based Control Filter Lockout (CFL) function which enforces
operator compliance with regularly scheduled filtering based on morning start-up procedures and
configurable periods of time throughout the day.
2.1 Filtering Procedure
Once a filter process has been initiated:
Display shows alternating /
When
.
the operator opens the drain valve, the display changes to alternating
/ and [TMR MM:SS], the filter timer countdown begins. The drain
valve must remain open until the filter timer counts down to zero.
If operator attempts to circumvent the filter operation by closing the drain or turning the control off,
the filter timer will be reset to its maximum value and the filter will need to be performed again.
When the filter timer reaches zero, the beeper will sound and the control will display
until the operator closes the drain valve. The display will change
to as the vat refills with filtered oil. Once the vat is completely
refilled, close the return valve and turn the control off by pressing the
key. The control will
display .
When the filter operation is successfully complete, the filter event will be counted and logged for
future review.
2.2 Start-up Filtering
When the cooking control is turned on from a cold start condition, a melt cycle will be performed
followed by heating. Once the oil temperature exceeds the Filter Temperature (section 8.2), the
filter prompt is displayed. The operator may press key [6] to
begin filtering or key [0] to defer. If YES [6] was selected, the filtering process will begin.
2.3 Filter Time Trigger
Managers can choose to set filter requirements throughout the day (section 8.1). When a filter
trigger time has been reached, the filter prompt is displayed.
The operator may press key [6] to begin filtering or key [0] to defer (if allowed). If YES [6] was
selected, the filtering process will begin.
2.3.1 Early Bird Filtering
To allow operators to work ahead of programmed filter triggers, an early bird allowance is
available. The early bird time setting (section 8.6) will allow operators to perform an ondemand filter within the early bird time period prior to a scheduled filter trigger. Successful
completion of a qualifying on-demand filter will satisfy the next filter event and no prompt will
occur when it is reached.
L22-347 Rev 0 Page 8 of 40
Page 9
Solstice I12 Cooking Computer Service
Pitco P/N 60149514
2.4 On-Demand Filtering
A filter may be performed at any time. With the fryer ON and the current oil temperature above the
Filter Temperature setting, open the drain. Heat will be turned off and the display will prompt
. Press key [6] to begin filtering.
On-demand filtering may be used to perform filters during Early Bird or Deferral time periods. Once
successfully complete, the filter will be logged and the filter event will be satisfied. Filtering outside
of these time periods will not be logged or satisfy any filter requirements.
If a drain is open erroneously or for maintenance purposes, answer NO (key [0]) to all questions.
No data logging or filter requirements will occur. It is assumed the same batch of removed oil will
be returned to the vat by the operator.
2.4.1 Disposing
On-demand filtering may also be used to dispose oil. Start a filter as described above. When
is displayed, press key [0] to skip. The display will change
to , press key [6] to begin the dispose process.
The display will show until the drain is closed. Close the drain once all oil has
been drained from the vat and turn the control OFF. All filter data from the disposed batch of
oil will be saved and a separate log will be started for the new batch of oil.
The Start-up Filter requirement after a Dispose event will not be enforced if new oil is raised to
operating temperature within 1 hour after disposing.
2.5 Filter Deferring
If allowed, Start-up and Time Trigger filter events may be deferred and performed at a later time.
When a filter event occurs and the prompt is displayed, the
operator may press key [0] to defer. The length of deferral and number of times the operator may
defer is configurable (sections 8.4 & 8.5).
At the end of the deferral period, the operator will be prompted again to perform filtering. An on-
demand filter may also be performed any time during the deferral period and prior to the next
prompt to satisfy the conditions for the filter event requirement.

3 Filter Data Function (FDF) Data Logging:
The FDF feature allows managers to track oil usage and filtering events by operators. These features
can be incorporated into an overall oil management strategy to extend oil life through an enforced
filtering regimen in combination with CFL.
3.1 Data Logging:
The FDF will store data for three batches of oil – the current batch, and the two past batches. The
use of the Dispose function saves the current batch data to history and resets data logging values
for the new oil batch.
For a batch of oil, the FDF logs the following data:
Number of Filter Operations
Number of Oil Hours
Management of oil through methods other than qualifying Filter Events and Disposes are not
logged.
3.2 Data Viewing:
With no cook timers running, displays will show one of the following displays: ,

Count of 3, an Early Bird Time of 2 hours, and an F1 filter trigger set at 1:00 PM, the next filter trigger
(F2) must be set to 4:30 PM or later (1:00 PM + (0:30 * 3) + 2:00).
