OIL DISPOSALOIL DISPOSAL
OIL DISPOSALOIL DISPOSAL
OIL DISPOSAL
If the cooking oil or shortening from a fryer is to be disposed, follow steps 1 and 2 from Filtering Instruc-
tions in previous section. Disconnect the line from the pump to the fryer return line, and connect the
optional hose assembly to the pump. Turn on the pump using the manual switch on the side or top of the
filter and direct the oil into an appropriate device such as an oil shuttle to move the used oil to its disposal
tank.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The pump on this filter unit is equipped with a safety that will turn off the motor if it overheats or an
electrical fault occurs. If this occurs, let the pump motor cool for 15 minutes, then press the manual
reset button on the bottom of the motor and restart the motor.
DANGER
Never run water through the filter system. This will cause rust and corrosion in the
motor and pump and will void the Warrranty.
WARNING
Always wear protective heat-resistant gloves when performing the oil disposal operation.
6. On gas-operated thermostat models (14G, 14GS, MXEG, 18EG, 20EG) the thermostat knob can now
be turned back to the desired temperature. CAUTION: On these models the thermostat must be set to
“OFF” or the Gas Valve to “PILOT” before filtering or the burners MAY come back on if the doors are
closed during filtering.
7. On electric-operated thermostat models (MX-14E, MX-14AA, 18E, 18AA, 20E, and 14EL-17) the
power switch on the control panel must be reset for the fryer to operate again.
8. The other fryers in the bank can be filtered using the same procedure.
