Description
Fry like a full-size fryer with a fraction of the oil, with filtering built in.
The Pitco SELV184X-C/FD is a Solstice reduced oil volume (ROV) electric fryer for restaurants and chains that want to cut oil cost without cutting output. Pitco says the SELV184 cooks like a 60 lb. fryer with 40 lb. of oil (about 33% less oil per fill). It has a 17.5" x 14.8" frying area with a full 4" cook depth, 14 kW of lift-out immersion elements, a 12-button Intellifry computer with a FILTER SOON production monitor, push-button oil top-off from a 35 lb. jug-in-box and a Solstice filter drawer underneath.

Questions buyers ask
How much oil does it save?
Pitco says the SELV184 cooks like a 60 lb. fryer with 40 lb. of oil (about 33% less oil per fill). It holds 40 lb.; filtering often (the FILTER SOON monitor prompts staff) is what makes the low oil volume last.
What voltage and phase do I need?
Pitco builds the SELV for single phase 200-480V or 3 phase 200-480V (export voltages too). At 14 kW the amps per line run from 67 A (208V single phase) to 17 A (480V 3 phase). Tell us your supply when you order or call (201) 467-8222.
Does it come with a cord and plug?
Not as standard. Pitco's optional 6' cord with NEMA 15-60P plug is for 3 phase 208V or 240V fryers only (1 per fryer); otherwise a licensed electrician hard-wires each fryer.
Is filtration automatic?
Filtering is a simple two-step manual process with the built-in filter drawer. Pitco offers computer-controlled auto filtration and automatic oil level control as options.
How does the top-off oil supply work?
A 35 lb. jug-in-box (JIB) feeds the top-off system; the controller warns when the jug is low. The top-off is for keeping the level up, not for filling an empty vat. Pitco notes that internal JIB storage needs 2 or more fryers in a system, so ask us how the jug is placed on a single fryer.
Is it ENERGY STAR certified?
No. The electric SELV models are not on the ENERGY STAR certified list (checked on data.energystar.gov); Pitco's ENERGY STAR reduced oil fryer is the gas SSHLV14.
What does the warranty cover?
Pitco's standard warranty covers parts and normal labor for 1 year from installation (up to 15 months from manufacture). Pitco advertises a 10-year fry pot warranty on its reduced oil volume fryers; tank labor and freight after year one are the owner's responsibility.
When will it ship, and do you match lower prices?
It usually ships in 1 business day by freight carrier, and it is covered by our Best Price Guarantee. Call (201) 467-8222 if you find a lower price or need a freight quote.
