4. The filter pump draws the cooking oil/shortening through the filter medium and circulates it back
up to and through the frypot during a 5-minute process called polishing. Polishing cleans the oil
by trapping solid particles in the filter medium.
5. After the oil is filtered (about 5 minutes), close the drain valve and allow the fryer to refill. Let
the filter pump run 10 to 12 seconds after the oil/shortening begins to sputter from the Power
Shower openings. Turn the filter off, remove the Power Shower and let it drain.
WARNING
The filter pump is equipped with a manual reset switch in case the filter motor
overheats or an electrical fault occurs. If this switch trips, turn off power to the filter
system and allow the pump motor to cool 20 minutes before attempting to reset the
switch (see photo below). To access the switch, reach in from the front of the fryer.

7. Ensure the drain valve is fully closed. (If the drain valve is not fully closed, the fryer will not
operate.) Turn the fryer ON and allow the cooking oil/shortening to reach setpoint.
DANGER
The crumb screen in fryers equipped with a filter system must be emptied into a
fireproof container at the end of frying operations each day. Some food particles can
spontaneously combust if left soaking in certain shortening material.
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 fry vessels. 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.
