CAUTION
Never operate the filter unit unless the cooking oil or shortening in the
fryers has been brought up to cooking temperature.
WARNING
Always wear protective heat-resistant gloves when performing the filtering operation.
1. Before filtering the shortening in a fryer, turn the thermostat knob to “OFF” or the Gas Valve to “PI-
LOT” to prevent the fryer from re-lighting during filtering. On some models the system automatically
prevents the burners from lighting when the door of the fryer is open.
2. Open the drain valve (black handle) on the fryer to be filtered, letting all the shortening drain into the
filter tank. Leave this valve open.
3. Open the return line valve (yellow handle) for the fryer being filtered. This activates the power to the
pump. If the pump does not start immediately check that the switch on the side or top of the pump
frame is “ON”. While the filter system is cycling, use a long-handled cleaning brush to wipe the bottom
of the fryer and push excess crumbs through the drain and into the filter machine.
4. When the shortening returning into the fryer is clear, close the drain valve (black handle) and allow the
fryer to refill.
5. Allow the pump to run until no more oil is returning into the vat. Then close the return line valve
(yellow handle), which de-activates the power to the pump.
WARNING
When cleaning the inside of the frypot, do not damage the temperature and
hi-limit probes that protrude into the frypot.
If solid shortening is being used it is very important that all oil is allowed to flow back into
the vat and none is left in the hoses. Failure to do so could cause the pump to fail if the
oil solidifies in the line.
WARNING
DANGER
Never drain more than one fryer at a time – the filter pan may overflow.

Note On Using Filter Powder
If filter powder is being used, add 1 cup of powder (for 14” fryers) or 2 cups (for 18” fryers) to
either the fry tank or the filter tank. If added to fry tank, make sure powder is completely flushed
during fry tank cleaning (Step 3) before closing drain valve (Step 4). If added to filter tank, the
powder will be removed when the filter envelope is changed and the filter tank is cleaned.
