1. THEORY OF OPERATION

The Pitco Reduced Oil Volume fryer works very similarly to the standard Pitco SG/SSH fryer.

The Reduced Oil Volume Fryer has a reduced cold zone to significantly reduce oil usage and extend oil life. This smaller zone may require more frequent filtering depending on the product being fried.

Upon turning the fryer on, the high limit closes the (side on) safety relay which stays closed until the fryer is turned off. If the oil temperature exceeds 450 degrees F, the high limit opens and prevents further operation until the cooking oil has reached a safe cooking temperature. This places a minimum duty cycle on the safety (side on) relay to insure its proper operation when needed. The “heat demand” relay opens and closes on demand from the primary control to maintain the desired cooking temperature. When the “heat demand” relay closes, it energizes the main burners in the fry pot. Near the fryer pot heat tubes, the temperature probe and high limit can be found. The temperature probe provides a signal to the primary control, sensing the oil temperature in the fry pot.

The fryer is equipped with a manual “ADD OIL” function that can transfer fresh oil from a

JIB (Jug in Box) located under the fryer or a bulk oil management system. The operator can use this function as needed to replenish any oil consumed in the cooking process. It is recommended that oil only be added when the fry pot is at the desired temperature, and that the “ADD OIL” button not be used to fill an empty fry pot from the JIB.

Optional Automatic Top Off: If equipped, the fryer (only when operating at desired temperature) senses the oil level and replenishes consumed oil only if the display shows ready. There are no programming options for the operator or service technician, the control functions like any other Pitco computer control. The “ADD OIL” button

(described above) is present with Auto Top Off.

Your gas appliance will give you peak performance when the gas supply line is of sufficient size to provide the correct gas pressure. The gas line must be installed to meet the local building codes or

National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1 Latest Edition. In Canada, install the appliance in accordance with CAN/CGA-B149.1 or .2 and local codes. In Australia, install the appliance in accordance with

AS/NZS 5601. Gas line sizing requirements can be determined by your local gas company or, in North

America, by referring to the National Fuel Gas Code, Appendix C, Table C-4 (for natural gas) and

Table C-16 (for propane). The gas line needs to be large enough to supply the necessary amount of fuel to all appliances without losing pressure to any appliance.

A properly sized and installed gas line will deliver a supply pressure between 7.0” W.C. (17.4mbars,

1.74kPa) and 10.0” W.C. (24.9mbars, 2.49kPa) natural gas or between 11.0” W.C. (27.4mbars,

2.74kPa) and 13.0” W.C. (32.4mbars, 3.25kPa) for propane to all appliances connected to the supply line, operating simultaneously at full demand. The pressure at the gas valve shall not exceed ½ PSI

(13.84 “WC, 34.5 mbar, 3.45 kPa). The gas supply connection to this appliance is located in the rear of the appliance approximately 10-1/2” (26.7 cm) from the floor of the appliance when legs are used.

Each appliance is equipped to operate on one certain fuel type. The type of fuel with which the appliance is intended to operate is stamped on the data plate, which is attached to the inside of the door.

WARNING

NEVER supply the appliance with a gas other than the one that is indicated on the data plate. Using the incorrect gas type will cause improper operation and could result in serious injury or death. If you need to convert the appliance to another type of fuel, contact the dealer you purchased it from.

NOTICE

NEVER use an adapter to make a smaller gas supply line fit the appliance connection. This may not allow proper gas flow for optimum burner operation, resulting in poor performance and improper operation.

L20-407 rev.4 (011/16)


2.5. QUICK DISCONNECT CONNECTION

In North America, gas appliances equipped with casters must be installed with connectors that comply with the Standard for Connectors for Movable Gas Appliances, ANSI Z21.69.CSA 6.16

Latest Edition. This connection should include a quick disconnect device that complies with the

WARNING

This appliance must be connected to a power supply having the same voltage and phase as specified on the data plate located on the inside of the appliance door.

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to connect the appliance to an electrical supply other than that indicated on the data plate. Electrical connection should be performed by qualified personnel.

WARNING

The electrical connection used by this appliance must comply with local codes. In the

United States if there are no local codes that apply, refer to the National Electrical Code

(NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70 for installation in the US. In Canada, refer to CSA Standard C22.2 and local codes. In all other cases, refer to local and national codes and regulations.

WARNING

If your appliance is equipped with an oil proof, electrical supply cord with a three-prong safety plug. This is to protect operators from electrical shock hazard in the event of an equipment malfunction. DO NOT cut or remove the grounding (third) prong from this plug; it should be plugged into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle.

2.9. VENTILATION AND FIRE SAFETY SYSTEMS

Your new appliance must have proper ventilation to function safely and properly. Exhaust gas temperatures can reach as high as 1100 °F (593 °C). Therefore, it is very important to install a fire safety system. Your ventilation system should be designed to allow for easy cleaning. Frequent cleaning and proper maintenance of the ventilation system and the appliance will reduce the chances of fire. Ventilation and fire safety systems must comply to local and national codes for US and Canada.

Refer to ANSI 83.11 for a list of reference documents that will provide guidance on ventilation and fire safety systems. For installations in U.S. and Canada, additional information can be obtained from

CSA International, 8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, OH, 44131 or visit their website at www.csa-international.org. In Australia the ventilation system must comply with AS/NZS 5601.0.

It is essential that the appliance be operated only when adequate ventilation is provided. Your ventilation hood should be properly maintained. A qualified installation professional should ensure that the hood is operating properly in conjunction with the appliance. Inadequate ventilation may not properly evacuate all appliance emissions. Excessive or unbalanced ventilation may cause drafts, which could interfere with proper operation of the pilot and burners. Leave at least 18 inches (47cm) of open space between the flue of the appliance and the intake of the exhaust hood.

10 L20-407 rev.4 (011/16)


WARNING

Ensure that your ventilation system does not cause a down draft at the appliance’s flue opening. A down draft will not allow the appliance to exhaust properly and will cause overheating, which may cause permanent damage. Damage caused by down drafts will not be covered by the warranty. NEVER allow anything to obstruct the flow of combustibles or ventilation exiting the appliance. NEVER place anything on top of the flue area, or block the flue in any way. Never place a grease condensing drip pan over the flue opening.

WARNING

NEVER connect the ventilation blower or hood directly to the flue of this appliance. The resulting increased flow of air through the combustion system will cause improper operation, poor temperature recovery, poor ignition and could extinguish the pilot.

WARNING

Replacing or adding appliances under a pre-existing fire safety system may require modifications to the system. ALWAYS contact a professional who is qualified in installing, designing and maintaining your fire safety system to assure that any appliances located under the fire safety system are adequately protected.

For Australia, the fryer must be installed in accordance with AS/NZS 5601, local authority and any other relevant statutory regulations. Flexible hose (if used) must comply with AS/NZS 1869 Class B or D, be of appropriate internal diameter, be kept as short as possible (not exceed 1.2 meters), must not be kinked and not be in contact with a hot surface. A chain must be fitted to restrict the fryer movement to no more than 80% of the hose length.

2.10. INSPECTION

Before you begin filling and adjusting the appliance, perform the following visual checks:

.

Refer to the following procedure to start the appliance prior to operation.

1. On manual (non-Auto Filter) models verify that the drain valve is closed by ensuring that the blue drain handle is pushed all the way in. Failure to do so may result in unsafe conditions.

2. Fill the cook tank with oil/shortening. (See section 3.3 “Filling the Cook Tank”). Never operate the appliance unless the cook tank is properly filled.

3. Press button to turn the controller on. Manual models will begin proper operation.

Auto-Filter models will display the prompt ‘ Is vat full ?’. Press the ‘YES’ key if the tank is full otherwise press the ‘NO’ key. Failure to accurately respond to this prompt may result in unsafe conditions.

Note: If your appliance has a self cleaning burner system, the burners may make a popping sound immediately after the main burners light during startup. This noise during startup is part of the normal operation of the self cleaning burner system and should NOT continue during normal cooking & idle periods.

4. The appliance is now on and heating the oil/shortening in the cook tank.

WARNING

NEVER operate the appliance with an empty fry tank. It will void the warranty.

WARNING

Oil/shortening level should NOT be allowed to fall below the indicated level line at any time. Dry firing of the fry tank will shorten tank service life and will void your warranty.

WARNING

Oil level should NOT be allowed to fall below the indicated level line at any time. Dry firing of the tank may cause a fire, and can shorten tank service life. Evidence of dry firing will void your warranty.

OIL TEMPERATURE

Keep the oil temperature in the fryer to a maximum of 190°C (374°F). Higher temperatures will cause rapid breakdown of the oil and give you no faster cooking. At 205°C (401°F) to 210°C (410°F) the life of the oil is only one third of its life at 190°C (374°F). In addition, increased decomposition causes the oil to smoke badly even if the temperature is lowered to 190°C (374°F) again. High temperatures give you no advantage, cost you money and increase the fire danger.

TEMPERATURE DELL’OLIO

Mantenere la temperatura dell’olio nella friggitrice fino a un massimo di 190°C. Temperature maggiori causano un rapido degrado dell’olio, senza tuttavia eseguire una cottura più rapida. Da 205°C a 210°C la durata dell’olio è inferiore di un terzo rispetto a quella a 190°C. Inoltre, l’accresciuta decomposizione comporta una forte emissione di fumo, anche se la temperatura viene riportata di nuovo a 190°C. Le alte temperature non prevedono vantaggi, sono antieconomiche e aumentano il rischio d’incendio.
