What is an FDH or FDTH thermostat used for?

The FDH (Frying and Deep Frying) or FDTH (Frying and Deep Frying Thermostat High Limit) thermostat is specifically designed for use in equipment that involves frying at high temperatures, such as pizza ovens. These thermostats help regulate the temperature accurately, ensuring that the frying process takes place under controlled conditions. Their ability to maintain high temperatures without compromising safety is essential in equipment like pizza ovens, which require a consistent heat level for optimal cooking and browning of food.

While grills and fryers, convection ovens, and ice cream machines each have their unique thermostatic requirements, they do not typically utilize FDH or FDTH thermostats. Grills and fryers often have different types of temperature control systems specific to their cooking methods, convection ovens generally operate at lower temperatures with different thermostat types, and ice cream machines have cooling mechanisms rather than frying capabilities. This specificity of function emphasizes why the FDH or FDTH thermostat is best suited for pizza ovens.
