Automated Filtration (Optional) - Pitco SELV Series Manual

When the cooking control shows Ready, the oil level probe will take time to detect the low level
condition. The lower the level the faster the response. The reverse is also true. Modestly low
levels take longer to resolve. (< 3/8" below probe). Levels ½" below probe should detect in 3-1/2
minutes or less.

Food debris, or oil caked onto probe may prevent ATO operation. Occasional probe cleaning when
vat is empty and cool is recommended.
Top off does not occur when the control is Off, Melting, Cooking, or Heating.

3.9 Automated Filtration (Optional)

If equipped with an Automated Filtration system, the filtration works like any other Solstice Fryer
except the manual handles (blue and red) are replaced with actuators (show above) to drain the fry
vat and return oil to fry vat after filtering.
The Automated Filtration system does not actuate "automatically", user input is required.
The actuators for the drain valve and return valve can be manually operated through the I12
computer. (See Section this manual,9)
When a pre-determined threshold (typically a user programmed number of cooks) is reached, the
operator can be prompted to filter the cooking oil. Upon successful operator input, the system:
Begins an automated filtration process that first opens the drain valve and drains the oil into the
filter pan.
Shortly after the drain valve opens, the linear actuator opens the return valve and the filter pump
actuates. The filtering process operates for a pre-defined period of time (user programmable)
The drain valve closes and the pump continues to run, returning the freshly filtered oil to the fry vat.
When timer reaches zero all the oil has been pumped back to the fry vat, the pump turns off and the
return valve closes.
The operator is queried to insure the vat is full. If the operator responds "NO", the filter pump turns
on for 20 seconds and the return valve is opened to pump any remaining oil from the filter pan.
When the operator responds "YES", the fryer turns itself off and must be re-energized by the
operator pressing the "ON" key to restore power and begin frying.
