Remote Filter Operation Operation Controls and Indicators The FKF and FKF-H have a power switch to turn the pump motor on or off. It also contains a pump motor reset switch. If the motor overheats while filtering, it will automatically shut off. To reactivate the pump motor, wait 15 minutes to allow the motor to cool then press the switch. The FKF-H also has a heater mounted on the pump that melts residual solid shortening within the pump. This heater has a power switch used to turn it on or off.
Remote Filter Operation Hot shortening may splash out of the pot causing severe injury when filling the pot if the lid is not closed. To prevent shortening splashes, close the lid before filling. 2. Close the lid to prevent shortening splashes. 3. Position the FILTER/OFF/FRY switch to FILTER and shortening will automatically pump into the pot. 4. After 1 minute carefully open the lid to check the level of the shortening. 5.
Remote Filter Operation DNF Filtering Procedure Always wear appropriate personal protection equipment during the filtering process to guard against possible injury from hot oil. 1. Set the fryer POWER switch to the ON position. 2. Set the FILTER MOTOR switch on the fryer to OFF. 3. Turn the thermostat to the off position and remove the screen lifter. 4. Make certain that the FKF filter unit filter pad is clean and not torn. 5.
Remote Filter Operation 15. After 1 minute, hold the hose by the handle and carefully raise the lid to check the level of the shortening. 16. Let the filter continue to pump the shortening until the fill mark in the fryer pot is reached or until air starts bubbling through the shortening. 17. As soon as air is seen in the shortening, position the FILTER MOTOR switch to OFF to prevent shortening degradation. 18. Add new shortening if the fill mark has not been reached. 19. Disconnect the filter hose.
Remote Filter Operation Filter Pad Replacement The filter pad must be replaced daily. If the shortening has a milky color when it is pumped into the pot, the filter pad should be replaced immediately. If the filter pad is not properly closed, breading crumbs will get through the pad opening and clog the pump. Ensure that the filter pad is properly closed upon replacement. 1. Place the filter screen inside the filter pad. 2. Fold the end of the pad and seal with the bag clip.
