PROBLEM REMEDY
The surface of the filter leaf may become clogged with crumbs or other debris. If this happens:
➔Turn OFF the drain valve handle and press the power switch OFF.
➔Using appropriate gloves, carefully and very slowly slide the filter reservoir out approximately
6". Gently run the stainless steel shovel across the surface of the filter leaf and scrape the crumbs
toward the rear. Carefully and very slowly slide the filter reservoir back into place, making sure
the suction tube is properly seated in the receptacle.
Bubbles in the oil while filtering, and/or a failure of the pump to achieve or maintain prime indicate that air
is entering the suction side of the pump.
➔Examine the suction tube O-ring. A damaged or improperly
seated O-ring will cause the filter pump to lose suction. This
will result in a failure to filter the oil, and in a failure of the oil
to be returned to the fry pot. Replace suction tube O-ring if it
is missing, cracked, distorted, or scuffed.
➔Verify that the suction tube is fully seated in the suction line
receptacle.
BURN HAZARD • HOT OIL SPLATTER
Protective clothing and gloves must be worn
whenever servicing the filter during the filtering
cycle. Hot oil may splatter which could result in
serious injury.
