Description
Rack-fry bone-in chicken in a 10"-deep vat with less oil and filtering built in.
The Pitco SFSELVRF is a Solstice reduced oil volume (ROV) electric rack fryer for chicken programs, grocery delis and high-volume kitchens. Its 14" x 18" x 10"-deep vat holds 76 lb. of oil and heats with 17 kW, and the filter sits under the same cabinet. Pitco says each vat cooks up to 64 pieces of bone-in chicken (8-piece cut) or sixty chicken strips on four racks, with a lift-assist 5-slot rack holder, a K12 computer and automatic oil top-off.

Questions buyers ask
How much chicken does it cook?
Pitco says each vat cooks up to 64 pieces of bone-in chicken (8-piece cut) or sixty chicken strips on four racks. It ships with 5 product racks (12" x 16" x 1"), 4 product baskets (12" x 16" x 2"), a bone-in rack holder and a rack holding tool.
What voltage and phase do I need?
Pitco builds the SELVRF for single phase 200-480V or 3 phase 200-480V (export voltages too). At 17 kW the amps per line run from 82 A (208V single phase) to 21 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 offers a 6' NEMA 15-60P cord set for 3 phase 208V or 240V units only (1 per fryer); otherwise a licensed electrician hard-wires it.
How does filtering and top-off work?
Filtering is built in: oil drains to the filter pan under the fryer and returns through a 10 gpm pump, with sensors that check the pan is in place. Auto top-off keeps the oil level up from a built-in 15 lb. reserve.
Will it fit under my hood?
It is 69-1/2" high to the top of the rack lift and 34-31/32" deep (35-25/32" with rear fittings). Allow 31-7/32" in front and 30-23/32" of aisle to pull the filter pan, plus 6" from combustible walls.
Is it ENERGY STAR certified?
No. The SELVRF is not on the ENERGY STAR certified list (checked on data.energystar.gov).
What does the warranty cover?
Pitco's standard equipment warranty covers parts and normal labor for 1 year from installation (up to 15 months from manufacture), for commercial use.
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.
