BIPH55 / MPH55 SERIES GAS FRYER CHAPTER 4: FILTRATION INSTRUCTIONS 4.1 Introduction The FootPrint Pro filtration system allows the oil in one frypot to be safely and efficiently filtered while the other frypots in a battery remain in operation. Section 4.3 covers preparation of the filter system for use. Operation of the system is covered in section 4.4.
2. Position a metal container with a sealable cover under the drainpipe. The metal container must be able to withstand the heat of the oil and hold hot liquids. 3. Open the drain valve slowly to avoid splattering. If the drain valve becomes clogged with food particles, use the Fryer’s Friend (poker-like tool) to clear the blockage. DANGER NEVER attempt to clear a clogged drain valve from the front of the valve! Hot oil or shortening will rush out creating the potential for severe burns.
2. Inspect the filter pan connection fitting to ensure that both O-rings are in good condition. (See Figure 2) Inspect the filter connection fitting O-rings. Figure 2 3. Then in reverse order, place the metal filter screen in the center of the bottom of the pan, then lay a filter pad over the screen, ensuring that the textured side of the pad is up. Make sure that the pad is in between the embossed ridges of the filter pan then position the hold down ring on top of the pad.
DANGER NEVER attempt to clear a clogged drain valve from the front of the valve! Hot oil will rush out creating the potential for severe burns. DO NOT hammer on the drain valve with the cleanout rod or other objects. Damage to the ball inside will result in leaks and will void the Frymaster warranty. 2. After the oil has drained from the frypot, rotate the filter handle to start the pump and begin the filtering process. There may be a slight delay before the pump activates.
DANGER The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles can spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material. WARNING Do not bang fry baskets or other utensils on the fryer’s joiner strip. The strip is present to seal the joint between the fry vessels. Banging fry baskets on the strip to dislodge shortening will distort the strip, adversely affecting its fit.
BIPH55 / MPH55 SERIES GAS FRYER CHAPTER 5: PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE 5.1 Fryer Preventive Maintenance Checks and Service DANGER The crumb tray in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day.
