THEORY OF OPERATION
The Pitco SELVRF works very similarly to the Pitco standard electric fryer. However, although both types
employ xed heang elements, the SELVRF is equipped with a li rack system that assists users by reducing
the eort needed to lower and raise large amounts of food product into and out of the oil. The SELVRF fryer
also comes equipped with an integral lter system and a state of the art cooking controller that allows the
user to program and control cook mes and temperatures for several products. Filtering and oil management
funcons (such as bulk oil ll and waste oil management, if so equipped) are also accomplished using the
controller. Addionally, the SELVRF comes equipped with a JIB (Jug in Box) that allows a user or the auto top
o system, if equipped, to replenish any oil consumed or drawn out of the tank during the cooking process
through use of the controller.
The Pitco SELVRF has a reduced cold zone which signicantly reduces oil usage and extends oil life. This
smaller zone may require more frequent ltering depending on the product being fried.
Upon turning the fryer on, the safety (side on) contactor closes unl the fryer is turned o. If the oil
temperature exceeds the trip temperature of the hi-limit switch, the hi-limit switch opens and prevents
further operaon unl the unit is safe to operate. This places a minimum duty cycle on the safety (side on)
contactor to insure its proper operaon when needed. The “heat demand” contactor opens and closes on
demand from the primary control to maintain the desired cooking temperature. When the “heat demand”
contactor closes, it energizes the heang elements in the fry pot. The temperature and hi-limit switch sensor
probes can be found mounted to the heang elements. The temperature probe provides a signal to the
primary control, sensing the oil temperature in the fry pot. Based on temperature feedback from the probe
the controller will energize and de-energize the heang elements in response to the temperature of the oil in
the tank.
