INSTALLATION & OPERATIONAL SGLV MANUAL
9. QUICK STRAIN FILTERING “Filter Soon” light flashing
(
WARNING:
Turn OFF Fryer, before filtering. Wear oil proof, insulated gloves while filtering.)
Refer to the following procedure for quick strain filtering.
FILTER SOON LIGHT. Flashing indicates the need to perform a “Quick Filtering” as soon as business
levels permit.
1. TURN Fryer OFF. Pull BLUE drain handle to drain oil from fry tank.
2. PRESS FILTER RETURN switch to ON to turn pump on.
3. Rinse fry pot 30 seconds. Use brush to clear debris through drain. Push BLUE handle in.
4. When bubbles appear in oil, turn FILTER RETURN switch to OFF.
5. Only filter 1 frypot at a time, the filter pan may overflow.
10. COOK COUNTER ADJUSTMENT
The Pitco SSHLV14 is a Low oil volume fryer. Low oil volume fryers have smaller cold zones than
standard fryers, and may require filtering during the cooking day. Excessive sediment levels in the bottom
of the frypot, can cause shortening to break down prematurely. The cook counter makes it easy to know
when to filter each fryer. Quick filtering as often as possible is an easy way to insure the benefit of longest
possible shortening life.
It is necessary for managers to determine filtering frequency on a fryer by fryer basis to prevent sediment
build up. Once you have determined how many loads of various products can be cooked without over
filling the bottom of the fryer, set the cook counter to that number. In general, products which create a
small amount of sediments, can use higher numerical settings. Foods with high breading fall off, use
lower numbers.
1. Use a flat screwdriver to remove cover.
2. Set selector knob based on products cooked in this fryer. Depending on sediment fall off select
from 1-15. (light fall off products=15), (heavy fall off products=1).
3. Replace cover.
