IMPORTANT: Filtering the cooking oil helps to ensure the
quality of the food product. Careful observation
of the finished food product will help you
determine your optimal filtering frequency.
Example: Filter the oil after each six loads of fresh
breaded product.
BURN HAZARD • HOT OIL SPLATTER
➔Protective clothing and gloves must be worn
during the filtering process. Hot oil may
splatter resulting in serious injury.
➔The fryer filtration system is designed to filter
hot liquid shortening ONLY. Water, cleaning
agents, or other liquids will damage the filter
pump.
➔DO NOT attempt to filter cold oil (less than
300°F or 149°C).
➔DO NOT store oil in the filter reservoir
overnight, or other extended periods.
➔DO NOT attempt to pump cold oil. The filter
pump will not pump cold oil through the filter
leaf. Pumping cold oil will result in premature
failure of the filter pump.
1. Press the power switch to the OFF position.
2. Remove and examine the filter reservoir. Make absolutely
certain that no water exists in the bottom of the pan.
Verify that
the filter leaf is properly installed, and that the suction tube
O-ring is in place and in good condition. Install the filter
reservoir assembly into the fryer, making sure the suction
tube is properly seated in the suction receptacle.
BURN HAZARD
The filter reservoir may be hot. Wear insulated
gloves or allow the filter reservoir to cool before
touching it.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave the fryer unattended during the
filtering process. Continuously monitor the oil
level in the reservoir to avoid overflowing the
reservoir and spilling oil on the floor.
3. Filter powder absorbs acids and other contaminants in the
cooking oil, allowing the cooking oil to be used for a longer
period of time before it must be replaced. Carefully and
slowly add the contents of one package of filter powder to
the oil in the fry pot. Stir in the powder with the "l" shaped
brush.
4. Slowly rotate the drain valve lever to the OPEN position.
The oil will drain from the kettle. If the kettle does not drain,
unplug the drain by using the wood cleanout dowel
provided with the fryer. Unplug the drain by pushing the
dowel down through the drain hole in the bottom front
center of the kettle.
BURN HAZARD
➔Protective clothing and insulated gloves
must be worn when cleaning the kettle with
the hi-temp brush and when unclogging
the drain with the wood cleanout dowel.
The kettle will be hot, hot oil may splatter,
and serious injuries may result.
➔Never attempt to remove the filter reservoir
when it is full of hot oil. Serious burns
could result from any hot oil spill.
5. Press the power switch to the FILTER position. The filter
pump will circulate the oil through the filter leaf, returning it
to the kettle.
6. Using the high temperature brush supplied with the fryer,
brush and scrape down the fry pot sides and bottom to
loosen crumbs and flush them from the fryer.
7. Be aware that filter powder and crumbs will accumulate on
the filter leaf. If the oil is slow to return to the fry pot
because of a plugged filter leaf, use the stainless steel shovel
supplied with the fryer to scoop the debris from the filter leaf
top surface. See
Cleaning Instructions in this manual.
8. When filtering is complete (5 to 7 minutes of pump running
with the drain valve open), rotate the oval drain valve handle
to the CLOSED position.
9. When bubbles begin to appear in the oil being pumped into
the fry pot, wait approximately 15 seconds. Then press the
power switch to the OFF position.
10. Service the filter leaf after each day's filtration, or as needed
to return oil promptly to the kettle.
IMPORTANT: Verify that all oil has been returned to the kettle
at the end of the filtering cycle.
