excess heat, causing property damage, injury and death.
!
DANGER
!
Adequate means must be provided to limit the movement of this appliance without depending on the gas
line. Single fryers equipped with legs must be stabilized by installing anchor straps. All fryers equipped
with casters must be stabilized by installing restraining lanyards. If a flexible gas line is in use, an
additional restraining lanyard must be connected at all times when the fryer is in use. The restraining
cable must NOT exceed 80% of the length of the flexible gas line. Failure to do so may result in ruptured
gas lines and property damage, injury and death.
!DANGER !
DO NOT sit or stand on this appliance. The appliance’s top deck, door, front panel, tank, splash
back, tank cover, workshelf, drain board are not steps. Serious injury will result from slipping,
falling or contact with hot liquids causing property damage, injurious severe burns and/or death.

!
DANGER
!
Instructions to be followed, in the event an operator smells/detects a gas leak, must be posted in a
prominent location. This information can be obtained from your local gas company or supplier. Failure to
post the instructions could leave an active gas leak unresolved, leading to fire, property damage, injury
and death.
!
DANGER
!
The contents of the crumb catch and/or filter pan of any filter system must be emptied into a
fireproof container at the end of the frying operation each day. Some food particles can
spontaneously combust into flames if left soaking in certain oil/shortening materials,causing
fire, property damage, injury and death.
!DANGER !
Any and all spilled oil, water or other liquids that occurs as a result of operation, cleaning, maintenance
or repair of this fryer should immediately be cleaned and dried. Failure to do so can create a slippery
surface resulting in falling/impact injury or death.
!
DANGER
!
Check for gas leaks after installation or servicing of a gas fryer. Apply a leak detection solution to all
connections and joints to ensure there are no bubbles or leaks. Failure to check for and correct any leaks
could lead to fire and/or explosion, property damage, injury and death.
!WARNING !
DO NOT use the filter pan to transport oil, hot or cold. The filter pan is not designed to transport oil.
Serious injury will result from slipping, falling or contact with hot liquids causing property
damage, injurious severe burns and/or death.
!
WARNING
!
DO NOT remove frypot fittings before all oil is drained from the tank. Serious injury will result from
slipping, falling or contact with hot liquids causing property damage, injurious severe burns and/or
death.
!
WARNING
!
For appliances equipped with manual (opposed to automated) filtration, shut down the appliance
completely when the shortening, fat or oil is being drained from the appliance. This will prevent the
appliance inadvertently heating up during the draining and filtering process.
!
WARNING
!
This appliance must be installed and used in such a way that any water cannot contact the fat or oil.
Water will react violently with hot fat or oil causing severe burns, injury or death.
!
WARNING
!
Keep all items and hands out of drains. Automated actuators may close without notice causing damage to
the fryer and personal injury.
!
WARNING
!
This appliance is NOT jet stream approved. Do not clean the appliance with a water jet. Use of any
pressurized water jet will cause damage to the fryer and personal injury.

2 General
Read the instructions in this manual thoroughly before attempting to operate this equipment. This
manual covers all configurations of Pitco SSHLV gas models. The fryers in this model family have most
parts in common, and when discussed as a group, will be referred to as SSHLV fryers.
The SSHLV fryers feature a low oil volume frying vat, optional automatic oil top off and optional
automated filtration unit. The Solstice design features a large round drain, which ensures that fries and
other debris will be washed into the filter pan. The SSHLV fryers are controlled with an I12 + Controller.
Fryers in this series come in full- or split-vat arrangements, and can be purchased in batteries of up to
five fryers.
