8. If the oil level is low, add oil until the level is at the top OIL LEVEL line.
9. Turn the fryer on and allow the oil to reach the programmed frying temperature.
4.3.3 Oil Disposal
1. Ensure the filter pan assembly is
prepared as described in Section 4.3.1.
It’s imperative, even when draining
oil for disposal, that filter paper and
the crumb basket are in place. Debris
in old oil can clog the filter system.
2. Turn fryer off and remove the fry
baskets from the frypot. Prior to
draining, skim any large debris from the
oil. Use extreme caution, as oil is at or
near operating temperature (350°F).
3. After ensuring the filter pan is correctly positioned under the drain tubes, open the drain valve to
drain the frypot into the filter pan. DRAIN ONLY ONE FRYPOT AT A TIME! The filter
pan is designed to hold the contents of one frypot only.
4. Ensure all drain valves are closed.
5. Attach the disposal hose to the quick-disconnect in the fryer cabinet.
6. Direct the hose into a metal receptacle suitable for holding 350°F oil. Use caution and wear
protective clothing. Hot oil can cause serious injury.
7. Pull the handle adjacent to the quick-disconnect, which starts the filter pump.
8. Oil will flow from the filter pan to the disposal receptacle.
9. When the flow is reduced to a sputter, shut the filter pump off by pushing the handle back into
place.
10. Dispose of the exhausted oil and drain any other frypots of exhausted oil following the steps
above.
11. Clean and refill the drained frypots with oil to the lower of the etched lines in the frypots. Note it
is recommended that frypots be boiled out with each change of oil. Boil out is covered in Section
2.4.
WARNING
Do not bang fry baskets or other utensils on the fryer’s joiner strip. The strip is present to
seal the joint between the frypots. Banging fry baskets on the strip to dislodge shortening
will distort the strip, adversely affecting its fit. It is designed for a tight fit and should only
be removed for cleaning.
The handle (above, see arrow) next to the oil-disposal
quick-disconnect activates the filter pump. All drain
valves should be closed when oil is being pumped out
for disposal.
