Pitco Solstice Supreme™ High-Efficiency Gas Fryer – Model SSH55R
40-50 lb oil capacity | 14" × 14" fry area | 100,000 BTUEngineered for high-volume kitchens that refuse to compromise on performance or operating cost, the Solstice Supreme SSH55R delivers up to 70 % thermal efficiency without a single blower motor.

- Self-cleaning burner cycle (30 sec) keeps combustion tuned for maximum efficiency.
- Solid-state thermostat with melt & boil-out modes for precise, worry-free control.
- Matchless auto-ignition lights the pilot every time power is switched on.
- Drain Valve Interlock (DVI) shuts off the heat when the drain opens to prevent scorching.
- Built-in downdraft protection monitors flue performance and prevents nuisance shutdowns.
- Heavy-duty 1¼" full-port drain plus clean-out rod & extension for fast, safe oil disposal.
- All-stainless tank, front & sides with 9" adjustable legs for easy cleaning underneath.
