A. CRADLE LIFT ASSEMBLY LUBRICATION
Failure to keep the cradle lift screw properly
lubricated will result in premature wear of the
brass lift nut. Wear caused by lack of proper
lubrication is NOT covered by warranty.
Disconnect the fryer from electrical power
before lubricating the cradle lift drive
screw. The lift motor could start
unexpectedly, causing serious injury if
power is not disconnected.
1. Disconnect the fryer from electrical power.
2. Open the rear access panel. Coat the exposed threads of the
cradle lift screw with moly (molybdenum disulfide) grease.
3. Close the access panel and restore electrical power.
4. Recommended frequency is "as required" or at a minimum of
every six months. Lubricate the cradle lift screw
immediately if a grinding or rubbing noise is heard when the
basket is raising.
B. CRADLE ROLLER ASSEMBLIES
SLIPPING & FALLING HAZARD • SPILLED
OIL
Do not use cradle if the rollers do not spin freely.
Replace rollers immediately if they are frozen. Oil
spill may occur, and serious injury may result by
slipping in oil.
1. DAILY: Rinse the cradle with cold water and use a mild,
abrasive pad to clean off any debris.
2. Thoroughly flush the bearings
in the rollers with hot water
(under the faucet or with a
spray nozzle). Rinse and dry.
3. Check the rollers to be sure they
roll freely. Check the bearing
nuts. KEEP THEM TIGHT!
NOTE: If rollers are frozen or found to
not spin freely after being thoroughly cleaned, replace them
immediately. Smooth operation of the rollers is essential to the
life of the fry kettle. Worn rollers can wear grooves thru the
frypot. Damage by frozen rollers is not covered by warranty.
C. FILTER LEAF ASSEMBLY
Clean the filter leaf after each day's filtration, or as needed to
return oil promptly to the kettle. Make sure all oil is pumped into
the fry pot before proceeding.
1. Open the fryer door and slide the filter reservoir forward to
remove it. Remove the filter leaf from the reservoir.
2. Daily cleaning of filter leaf assembly: Scrape off any debris and
clean with a hot water rinse. Drain, and air dry overnite.
3. Weekly cleaning (or as needed) of filter leaf assembly:
Disassemble the filter leaf by separating the two side rails at
the joint with the straight pin. Scrape any debris off, clean
with a hot water rinse, and air dry overnite.
4. Assemble the screen with the separator installed between the
two screens. Verify that the O-ring is in place on the suction
tube on the bottom screen. See diagram in
Preparation Prior to
Operation
section in this manual.
5. Slide the screens into side rail B (L-shaped pin). Note that
the handle will point away from the suction tube on the
bottom screen. Hook side rail A over the pin on side rail B
and work the screens into side rail A until the straight pin on
side rail A is held by the bump on side rail B.
6. Inspect the filter leaf in the filter reservoir with the suction
tube firmly into the filter reservoir drain hole.
7. Install the O-ring on the filter suction tube for damage.
Using one of the spare O rings in the suction tube groove,
replace the O ring if it is cut, cracked or scuffed.
8. Install the filter reservoir into the fryer. Make sure the O-ring
closest to the end of the suction tube is firmly seated in the
suction line receptacle.
BURN HAZARD • HOT OIL SPLATTER
➔Do not remove filter reservoir when it contains
hot oil. Always remember to wear insulated
gloves – or allow the oil and the reservoir time
to cool.
➔Hot oil quickly heats the reservoir. Serious
burns could result.
