Temperature Check; Annual/Periodic Preventative Maintenance And Inspection; Safety Evaluation; Mechanical Inspection - Pitco SELV14 Installation & Operation Manual

INSTALLATION & OPERATIONAL SELV MANUAL
11.2 TEMPERATURE CHECK
Use a high grade pyrometer or digital thermometer suitable for temperature up to 380F
(182°C). Place the thermometer in the oil above the tip of the fryer's temperature probe with in
1" (2.54 cm) 25.4 mm). Be sure not to touch the heat tube since this will measure incorrect
temperatures.
Check that the controllers set point and thermometer is within +/- 5F (2.8°C). If your
measurement are off, re-measure again before contacting an Authorized Service Company
for further assistance.
12 ANNUAL/PERIODIC PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
This section should ONLY be performed by a qualified service technician as part of a regular kitchen

 Check hood baffle for clean surface, oil/water condense can drip onto appliance.
 Check drain/filtration system (if equipped) for leaks
 Check for missing fryer parts.
 Check for missing fasteners

12.1.3 TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEM

 Check electrical connections and harnesses
 Check temperature probes and limits for carbon build up and plating. Clean as required
 Check proper mounting of probes and sensors and verify all fasteners are secure.
 Check DVI Drain Valve Interlock drops out controller.
 Check Controller/thermostat features to ensure they are functioning.
 Check Temperature Calibration

12.1.4 FILTER SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

 Check electrical connections and harnesses.
 Check IEC power cords are fully engaged and secure.
 Check for any air or shortening leaks and for excessive oil build-up.
 Check O-Ring on filter pickup tube and replace as needed.
 Check filter strainer on pickup tube.
 Check operation of drain valve and DVI drain valve interlock.
 Check operation of return oil valve and its pump switch.
 Check all hardware in filter pan.
 Check filter operation by filtering the fryers.
 Check pump motor amp draw compare to nameplate amperage.
 Check pump and motor; clean any excess oil from pump assembly.
 Check all filter hoses for leaks and integrity.
