Careful observation of the finished food product will help
determine optimal filtering frequency. Filtering the
c
ooking oil at regular intervals will help ensure food
quality.
FOR BEST RESULTS
: Do not allow the temperature of
the oil to decrease below the “Idle Mode” temperature of
250°F (121°C) when filtering. If filtering at the end of the
day, pump oil back into the kettle while still hot. Do not
allow oil to cool before returning to kettle.
1. Open the front access door. With the Kettle/Nozzle
selector in the “NOZZLE OFF” position, rotate the
drain valve counterclock-wise until rotation stops
and the drain valve is in the “OPEN” position.
Power to the main control panel will automatically
switch “OFF.”
2. Allow contents of the fryer to completely drain.
3. Press the PUMP “ON” to allow the oil to circulate
through the drain system to flush crumbs. Using the
brushes provided, brush the sides and bottom of the
fryer while the oil is circulating through the system.
Use the angle brush under the heat exchangers.
4. Press the PUMP “OFF” and allow contents of the
fryer to completely drain.
5. Rotate the drain valve clockwise to the
“CLOSED” position.
6. Press the PUMP “ON” and allow the fryer to refill
to the recommended level adding additional
o
il/shortening as required to maintain proper fill
level.
7. Press the PUMP “OFF” button.
8. After the frypot has completely refilled, pull out the
mobile oil trolley and discard the filter into a proper
receptacle. Clean the filter assembly and oil trolley,
if needed.
9. Replace the oil filter and return the trolley to the
proper position beneath the fryer.
10. Push the ELEMENT HI LIMIT reset button.
11. Press and hold the “ON/OFF” key on
the main control panel for 1-1/2 to 2 seconds to
energize the fryer. Continue normal fryer operation
after the preheat function has been completed.
