How It Works
Test your frying oil in just three simple steps. Accurate, fast, and HACCP compliant.
Insert the sensor into hot oil
Place the stainless-steel probe directly in the fryer while the oil is hot.
Wait a few seconds for analysis
The FT CONNECT automatically measures TPM and temperature in real time.
Read the traffic light result
The display shows a clear traffic light system. Green for good oil, yellow for near limit, and red to change oil.
What our customers say
The FT frying oil testers support us in our daily work with frying oils by helping us determine the exact time for an oil change in gastronomy. This way, our frying oil is always replaced at the right moment, never too early and never too late.
Over the past 2 years VITO had become a focal part of our frying process, we have been able to achieve significant savings in both time and oil consumption. Superior product quality and consistency all throughout the frying cycle is an added bonus!
VITO oil filtering machine had given a peace of mind for chef’s reducing the oil consumption by 25-30%...and the Oiltester makes sure you have clean oil for your valuable customers.
How often should I calibrate the FT Connect?
The FT Connect is factory-calibrated and ready to use. In normal kitchen use, recalibration is recommended every 12–18 months, or if readings become inconsistent.
Will it work with UAE oil types and kitchen conditions?
Yes. The FT Connect is designed for high-temperature frying oils such as sunflower, canola, palm, and blended oils, and performs reliably in hot, humid UAE kitchen environments.
What’s the difference between FT440 and FT CONNECT?
- FT440 runs on replaceable batteries.
- FT Connect is rechargeable and can connect to your LAN or VITOconnect system for digital tracking.
Is the FT Connect rechargeable?
Yes. The FT Connect features a built-in rechargeable battery, reducing the need for disposable batteries and making it ideal for high-usage professional kitchens.
Can FT Connect store or transmit oil data?
Yes. When connected via LAN or VITOconnect, FT Connect allows digital tracking and documentation of oil quality data, supporting HACCP records and internal quality control.
What happens if the display shows a yellow reading?
A yellow light means the oil is approaching its limit. The oil can still be used briefly, but replacement should be planned soon to maintain food quality and safety.
Is the FT Connect waterproof?
The stainless-steel sensor probe is waterproof and can be rinsed under running water after testing. The display unit is splash-resistant and should not be submerged.
What’s included in the box?
Each FT Connect package includes:
- 1× FT Connect Oil Tester
- 1× Protective Case
- 1× User Manual
- 1× Calibration Certificate
- 1× Charging Cable
Do staff need training to use FT Connect?
No training is required. Simply insert the probe, wait a few seconds, and read the result. The traffic light system makes oil decisions quick and clear for all staff.
How much can kitchens save with FT Connect?
By changing oil only when needed, most kitchens save 10–20% on frying oil costs, while also improving food consistency and HACCP compliance.
