Pitco Frialator PCF18 User Manual

For proper operation and maximum performance, locate the Crisp n’ 
Hold in an ambient air temperature of 70º F (21ºC). 

 

Avoid areas near exhaust fans where there is active air movement. 
For safe operation, locate the unit a reasonable distance from com-
bustible walls and materials. 

 

To prevent injury and damage, locate the unit at a proper and safe 
working height.  The location should be level, clean of debris, and 
strong enough to support the weight of a fully loaded unit. 

 

1.  Plug the Crisp n’ Hold into a properly grounded electrical recep-

tacle. 

2.  Ensure all plastic and packaging materials have been removed. 

3.  Familiarize yourself with the controls. 

4.  On/Off switch is located inside the cabinet below the product 

station.  Set POWER switch to “ON” position. 

5.  Do not load product into the cabinet.  Allow the heat to remove 

any residual oils which may adhere to inside metal surfaces.  A 
slight emission of smoke is normal for the first few hours of 
operation. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding 
wire with a grounding plug which must be plugged into an 
outlet that is properly installed and grounded.  In the event of 
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. 

 

WARNING—Improper use of the grounding can result in 
a risk of electric shock.  Consult a qualified electrician or 
serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely 
understood, or if doubt exists as to whether the appliance is 
properly grounded. 

 
Installation procedures must be 
performed by a qualified technician 
with full knowledge of all applicable 
electrical codes. 
 
Failure can result in personal injury 
and property damage. 

 

IMPORTANT: 
Power cord is 7' long. 

If necessary, contact a licensed 
electrician to install an appropriate 
20 amp electrical circuit with correct 
NEMA receptacle. 

 

 
The ground prong of the power cord 
is part of a system designed to pro-
tect you from electric shock in the 
event of internal damage. 

DO NOT cut off the large round 
ground prong or twist a blade to fit 
an existing receptacle. 

 

Damage to unit due to being 
connected to the wrong voltage or 
phase is NOT covered by warranty. 

 

 
Unit is not waterproof, to avoid 
electrical shock keep unit and 
counter from being submerged in 
water.  Do not operate if unit has 
been submerged in water.
