DAILY FILTERING

Shortening life will be extended by filtering at least once a day, or more often if conditions warrant.

Models HCK91/92 and HDK91/92 are equipped with a

/4 turn ball type drain valve. Models HCK40/

42 and HDK40/42 have a removable fry tank that can be lifted out by raising the heating elements out

of the tank, or the shortening can be syphoned out as follows:

Models HCK40/HDK40

Turn the fryer off and allow shortening to cool. Place the syphon assembly (Fig. 5) so that the short

tube rests on the bottom of the tank and the long tube projects down through the hole in the grease

trough. Tie the filter bag to the end of the long tube. Provide a metal container of sufficient capacity

at the end of the long tube inside the storage compartment.

To start the syphoning action, push the stopper in the bowl closed. Fill the bowl with clean liquid

shortening. Pull the stopper to allow shortening to start draining. Push the stopper closed before all

the shortening is drained from the bowl. To stop draining, pull the stopper and empty the bowl

completely.
