5.4COOK COUNTER ADJUSTMENT
The Pitco SELV14 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
3.Replace cover.
