FILTER PROCEDURES
NOTE
When working with hot oil ALWAYS wear oil-proof, insulated gloves.
WARNING
NEVER • Run the filter system without a filter bag/paper.
NEVER • Empty the oil from the fryer before turning OFF the fryer burners.
NEVER • Store the Filter Unit anywhere other than in the fryer filter cavity.
a. Slide the filter pan out. Carefully remove filtered residue off the filter media. Examine the filter media for
clogged or torn areas. Refer to filter media replacement instructions following this section. Reinstall the pan.
b. Turn the fryer that is to be filtered OFF (See Standby Shutdown). Remove the baskets from the fryer tank(s).
Use the clean out brush to lift out the tube screens.
c. Slowly open the green handled drain valve for the tank being filtered. If necessary use the clean-brush to clear
the crumbs from the drain. Use the brush to clean the sides of the tank as the oil drains.
WARNING
This filter pan is only large enough to hold the contents
of one (1) tank at once, during the filter process.
d. When the tank is empty, close the green handled drain valve. Open the red handled return valve to the tank
you are filtering. This will start the pump and return the oil to the bottom of the fry tank.
e. When bubbles are seen coming out of the oil return spout, close the red handled valve to turn the pump off.
If necessary add more oil to the tank to return the
oil level to the fill mark. The fryer is now ready for use.
DRAINING A TANK
The filter system is also used to drain the fryers. You will need a container capable of holding 400
0 F oil and protective
gloves.
a. Rotate the drain down spout so that it extends in the container that you want to drain the shortening into.
b. Open the green handled drain valve for the tank to be drained. The oil will drain into the container you have
shosen. When the container is full or the fry tank is empty, close the green handled drain valve. If the container
was full repeat this step until fryer tank is empty.
c. Once tank is completely empty add new shortenning and follow fryer start up procedures.
