CAUTION:

This equipment is manufactured for the use on a
particular voltage and phase which is specified on
the rating plate located on the inside of the door.

When your fryers arrive, inspect carefully
noting any damage on the freight bill. If concealed
damage is found after you have accepted the
equipment, report it to the carrier immediately as
all claims must be filled within 15 days of the
receipt of the shipment. Also, be sure to keep all

Follow these installation instructions care­fully. A proper installation is important for the
operation of the fryers.

All installations must conform to all local and
national codes.

Wiring diagram(s) are located in the back of

the service manual and inside the fryers.

Regular cleaning of this equipment, as well as
the hood, is an important part of proper mainte­nance.

PROCEDURES

NOTE: Should you experience a power failure, your

fryers will shut of f automatically. Once the power

has been restored, press the

key to turn the fryer

NOTE: It is recommended that melt cycle be used

back ON. If the machine is being filtered, close the
RED return valve so that the filter does not run if the
machine is left unattended. Do not attempt to restart
the fryers until the power is restored.

Filling the fryer with oil:

It is very important to make sure the oil level
is correct before attempting to heat shortening in
your Pitco fryer.

Liquid shortening can be poured directly into
the fry tank until the correct level has been
reached. This is indicated by a line on the right
hand side of the inside of the tank.

NOTE: The “COLD” level is considered to be the

“MINIMUM” oil level and the “HOT” level is con­sidered to be the “MAXIMUM” oil level.

For solid shortening, the shortening must be
cut into small blocks about 1" (2.54 Cm) in size.
These small blocks must be placed under and
around the heating elements.

The fryer can now be turned ON.

Make sure that the shortening is at the proper
level after cooking temperature has been reached.
It may be necessary to add shortening to maintain
the proper level.

NOTE: When adding solid shortening to an empty

fry tank, first remove the baskets and support racks
and fill the bottom of the tank with shortening, con­tinue to pack the remaining shortening into the tank.
Place the basket support rack on top of the shorten­ing before turning the unit ON.
For liquid shortening fill to the level lines indicated
on the side of the tank.

NOTE: Maximum cooking load is not to exceed

3lbs (6.6kg) per basket.

CAUTION:

Excessive loading or loading of over-wet food can
cause surge boiling.

Press the corresponding key to turn the

fryer OFF. The Computer display will go blank
